I'm not based in the US, so I'm wondering whether people meet ex-Amish in the general course of their lives? Do they go on to lead otherwise ordinary modern lives and have office jobs?
- bryanlarsen 4y agoI have met ex-Mennonites whi went on to get university degrees and lead ordinary professional lives.
- burlesona 4y agoYou pretty much have to go to them as they keep to themselves, so most people don’t run into them organically. I had a friend in high school whose mother was ex-Amish though. That was kind of interesting. They were just regular folks but it was essentially like her mother had immigrated from the old world and truly left all her family behind. I don’t know if leaving is always a permanent severance from the community but I guess in this case it was.
- NateEag 4y agoSome certainly do. There was an ex-Amish programmer at my current employer's, a few years before I started.
