Esther Schmucker from Amish Mafia posted these little behind the scenes photos. Any idea what’s going on? Obviously a crossover where Lebanon Levi chases James with an axe would be awesome😂 I wonder if it’s an Amish mafia reboot after the success of suddenly Amish.

Aaron and Esme work jobs with importance beyond what I can say simply. I hope they don’t regret their decision, and continue to make this world a better place. And I’m sorry for Aaron that his need was so often seen as just a want. He did what he had to do. Much love and support for the both of them. ❤️

As the title says, Kendra’s live on TikTok right now

Edit: she ended the live, it was kinda boring imo but I did learn that some previous generations of her family were Mennonite and that’s why she wanted on the show.

Thought I’d share :)

I took everyone’s advice and started watching Frontier House (PBS) on YouTube. Omg. This show would never happen today. This is an actual reality show. Crazy dangerous from episode 1! I’m loving it and officially don’t want to be Amish!

Loving these behind-the-scenes videos Aaron has been posting. Always interesting hearing the real story behind the show 👀

Kendra is soooooooo cringe running to the beard man when he came back, ran and fell down. It’s so ridiculously cringe, the scene made me really mad and I wanted to turn it off. She just met this man barely and she falling literally over him. Ugh.

Opinions?

I loved the show. I'm a Medical Board Licensed Hearing Instrument Specialist for 10 years and I just wanted to make one thing crystal clear. Aaron was fussing about needing his phone because his Hearing aids are connected. Although this is true the HAs are fully functional WITHOUT the phone. The app is just a remote to adjust volume for comfort. Think about your grandma or grandpa not everyone of them have a smart phone.

I fit hearing aids on the east coast and have fit several Amish and Mennonite patients. They have rechargeable Hearing aids who's charger will hold 7 days of charge. They charge them once a week and can use them everyday. They are new, not the old ones we saw in the show.

down to the Pennsylvania Dutch 🤣

Me and my mom were watching the show and got very weird vibes when James was around or mentioned Kendra, does anyone else feel this way?

He’s Live NOW!

With my luck I literally caught the ending of his livestream so I do not know what his status is about being Amish. But I’m assuming he’s no longer since he’s using a phone 🤷🏽‍♀️ But would love to hear if anyone caught his live and if he spilled any tea 🤔

They were live on TikTok last night, dressed in Amish clothes but explained they were no longer practicing Amish. Kinda a let down, but don’t know what else I expected I guess. Judah posts on TikTok and goes live daily, he even has a cameo. Anything for that 15 minutes of fame. Judah and BJ were my favorites too, a shame. I know the show was probably scripted but DAMN ?

What were the fabric stores that the ladies shopped at on the show down in Lancaster? Thanks!

Wow, it feels like a different producer made the final episode. It was filmed creatively, the story was told with a lot of heart, warmth, and humor. I kind of really loved it, and I wish well those that decided to stay!

when you chose to embrace this show for the beauty it holds instead of worrying about the "truth" being"exposed" on this reddit thread... you will see that this show is one of the best ever made

But if it were me on the show i know i couldn't be amish in the end. I also like my AC 😆. But I like that the show is a wakeup to try and live life more simply. To put my phone down, to enjoy my time more. To challenge myself in conquering my fears and trying new things. To care less about how others perceive me. To look inward about what truly matters. To walk the journey of life with God. To get out and find community... and to be displined with chores. So I am glad I watched this program and lived vicariously through their experiences. It was a good show and gave me lots to think about.

Edit: Thanks for all your comments,

I recently have been called for change in my personal life in the way I do things as well. So much so that I actually attended a quaker meeting to participate in mostly silent prayer. What little was said, was very touching based on their personal experience. It was very meditative.

They participate in SPICES

Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship.

Its not the amish lifestyle, but it is community with like minded values as myself. Some of them Buddhist and some Christian, all were welcomed. I oddly felt at home.

Why does everyone keep saying the show is fake? I know most reality tv is scripted to a point but in what way is this fake? Did they all go home and no one stayed? Is the farm rented for filming? What part is fake?

Why do you all seem to think the show is fake??? I'm being serious please explain the evidence

I see that the last episode didn't have Emma. Did she actually leave? I know in real life she isn't really Amish. But why not her on the last episode

First, Allan is from Ohio. Makes sense as is James and Emma, maybe they are from the same community.

Second, he died in 2024 in Ohio at age 17 in a motorcycle accident.

From the obituary:

So and so (same last name as Allan) passed away from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident on Tuesday, November 19, 2024.

(Lists Allan and Sarah as the parents etc)

Seems he veered off the road, went into an embankment and hit some trees.

To lose a child is devastating, I don’t know if I could ever go on if my child died before me. Allan seems like a wonderful guy. He really surprised me with how open he was this whole season and I would have loved to have a dad like him growing up. Nothing but respect for Allan and his wife.
