I find them all so a annoying and fake </p> <p>...typing this as I watch Breaking Amish LA lmao </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1007163 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 20:28:57 +0000 artsyfartsy 1007163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. I refuse to watch it. Just seems so unbelievable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006507 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 14:05:00 +0000 indi 1006507@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I agree. Nothing like the folks around here. Haha, I refuse to watch it because it's so, so fake. I'm sure my grandpa believes it, though, but he is also a fan of Dance Moms and Lizzard Lick Towing :-/ Lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006498 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:58:15 +0000 looch 1006498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FarmWifeGina: yes, that's it! </p> <p>Swiss German has like 30 variations and none of it sounds like high German. I find language fascinating! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006495 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:56:30 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1006495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: @looch: It's Pennsylvania Dutch. Something of a mix 1700s German (although a lot of Amish heritage goes back to Switzerland, so it makes sense if it sounds a little like Swiss German) mixed with English. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006476 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:43:08 +0000 looch 1006476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have seen a few episodes and they speak a dialect of German that sounds like the Swiss German my husband speaks.</p> <p>I dunno, what I wonder is if they accept $$$. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006430 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:23:35 +0000 loveisstrange 1006430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Way too ridiculous for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006428 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:23:25 +0000 Boheme 1006428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I grew up around the Amish and several Mennonite families and I don't find it even remotely believable. I could maybe believe a tiny bit of Breaking Amish because I went to school with a guy who left the Amish church and was disowned by them. His crime? A cell phone for his woodworking business. Not the wild stuff you see on Breaking Amish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006427 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:23:08 +0000 HLK208 1006427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol! No!!! I thought the whole part of being in a mafia is to be secretive and hidden not on reality tv. Hahaha. I don't really understand it either - do they have their own language? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-watch-amish-mafia#post-1006405 Sat, 10 Aug 2013 13:12:34 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1006405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you find it even remotely believable? Lol, I guess I don't understand the appeal at all. It's so ridiculously fake and every time I catch a glimpse of it, I just pray that there aren't people out there who actually think it's even a little but real. </p>
