Amish thugs attacking and forcibly cutting other Amish people's
hair and beards. I am stating to believe maybe the world will end in 2012.

6. Actually it's from the county Sheriff, He says that they have sort
of a Jim Jones character that is giving orders. The same sect had problems a few years ago with child molestation and the same guy was involved in that. Our law has their hands tied because the Amish won't press charges, they believe in handling things themselves. The Sheriff says he hopes he can make arrests in a couple days, some of the victims may press charges finally.

4. WTF is going on? Seen a lot of Amish posts lately. This sounds like Wounded Knee '74.
Is some Agricorp making a move on Amish markets and properties, or something?

12. What do the victims have in common? Do they subscribe to certain beliefs that make them un-Amish, &
therefore subject to this treatment by more extreme believers?
