599 mb/60mins
An extraordinary insight into the secretive world of the Old Order Amish of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
Trouble In Amish Paradise tells the story of Ephraim and Jessie Stoltzfus who, along with their wives, have become disillusioned with the amount of control the church now exerts over their lives.
They are extremely proud of their Amish heritage and have no wish to leave their community, but feel they can no longer unquestioningly follow every pronouncement from the bishops.
Church And Culture Are Not The Same
As more and more Amish read the Bible in English, rather than the original German, some have begun to ask who they should be following – the leaders, or the word of God. As Ephraim observes, “They combine church and culture and that’s wrong, you cannot do that.
If that’s the way it’s supposed to be then Jesus would have made those rules specific and said ‘You gotta drive a horse with a green harness or you to go hell’. And he didn’t say that.” Jesse and Ephraim, along with several other families in the community, gather regularly for bible study classes, which is strictly forbidden by the bishops.
These two radical Amish men, Ephraim and Jesse Stoltzfus, start to question some of the most fundamental aspects of their Amish culture, they face excommunication from their church and total rejection by their friends and family.

No picture of the Amish is complete without a look at a film called "The Devil You Know." I enjoyed it thoroughly but that documentary also asks questions about the Amish lifestyle. The difference is that The Devil You Know is not about Bible study.
After a search for this on torrents I see it is not available. I can post it here if there is interest.

I gave the wrong title above.
Correction from previous:
The name of the film is "Devil's Playground." There is a wiki here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Playground_%28film%29
I cannot find this on torrents but my library has it and I can make the torrent if there is sufficient interest.

Hey Man, that would be cool. I'd like to see that one. Thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, well tell your friends between now and the time I get the recode job done. Maybe some good discussion will follow.
What are your countries? Since I have to devote half a day to getting a seed complete I'd like to get it posted for leeching either stateside (US) or Europe (or other ) timezone which means post on overnight.
With major trackers this is less of a big deal.

There are a lot of good things on here. One torrent that has gone on another source is called Spring Awakening. that is significant because the musical drama was based on a play about young people written in the 19th century that was banned from performance.
The problems in Spring Awakening (original version) haven't changed that much through to today and that's why the piece is appropriate to bring in here.
I haven't done it yet.
Devil's Playground and rumpspringa is for me a real unexpected cultural turn in adults attempt to "cope" with their adolescents.
