I still have Uncles and Aunts that are Amish and I love them dearly. <br /><br /> My main issue is with the shunning and the hurt, division and pain it brings to families.

I have often wondered where I'd be had my grandparents not chosen to leave the Amish church, and then my parents not chosen to leave.
