Whats a less serious shunning?
A less serious shunning, you wouldn’t be allowed to hand the money directly [to merchants]. You could sit in the same room and have a meal, but your table would be separate. [The Amish do this] in hopes of the wayward member coming around and repenting. They feel that this is Scripturally based and they feel that this is very important to follow through with it. In their view, it is an act of love. Does a lot of shunning take place within the community during rumspringa [the “running around” courting period for Amish teens]? You have to be a baptized member of the church in order to be shunned. So if you’re at courting age and you’re running around and you’re doing wild things, you can’t be shunned. You’d be frowned upon maybe if you take it a little too far. But it’s interesting that the parents really do kind of turn a deaf ear and close their eyes and let their kids do their thing. So what kind of “wild” things do these teens do during rumspringa? I know there are quite a few girls
