Saloma furlong why i left the amish6/11/2023 Many would claim the Millers to be a dysfunctional family. It is also Saloma Miller Furlong who pulls back the veil and exposes what we as outsiders would consider abuse and hypocrisy within the Amish culture. We share their family life and are introduced to their fear based church dogma that requires community over individuality, unquestioned male authority / female subordination and living off the grid. Thanks to Saloma Miller Furlong we move in with and sit elbow to elbow with one Amish family. What is it about the Amish culture and religion that intrigues us? Is it the romance of a simpler lifestyle? The pastoral scenes of horse drawn buggies with barefoot children in quaint clothing? Their self-sufficiency and industrious work ethic? Unless we live among or work beside the Amish we probably don't have a realistic picture of what it means to be Amish.
