I'm not an expert on their culture but I can tell you that the ones I've encountered will not allow their photos to be taken. They're so adamantly against that sort of thing that even the children's dolls do not have faces. That program was so mind-numbingly stupid I couldn't stand to watch it. Even now, I'm sure I've lost brain cells.
Now there are substantial differences between the Mennonites and the Amish, this is true. But as far as the Amish appearing on camera, sorry, can't buy it.</div></div>
No, some aren't as strict. There is a community in FL (another Amish show) where they are basically "regular" people but are not as strict and appear on camera, live in nice neighborhoods, etc.
The ones that leave become regular joes. Some even join the military. But the Amish mafia? Yeah, whatever.
