Escaping Amish


Listen Later

Get in….HURRY. Because today, Lacey and Steph are Escaping Amish. They bring on Benjamin Beiler, someone who grew up in the Amish Community in Lancaster, PA and left the community when he was 17 years old. Going into this, not knowing much about the Amish and their practices, the two both walk away realizing that this way of life is way more abusive than they ever would have guessed.

In this episode they discuss:

  • Growing up Amish & what that was like
  • Why his family chose to leave
  • Is it a religion?
  • Where it originated
  • Fear based & cult-like behavior
  • No technology = control
  • Dating and Sex life inside the Amish- no sex education 
  • Learning about sex after leaving the Amish
  • All of the abnormal rules and dress codes
  • Trauma and healing from growing up in that community
  • Sexual assault allegations within the Amish community
