The reason Why I left the Amish Lifestyle Behind

I grew up in the Middlefield Ohio Amish settlement in an old older Amish church. I left the Amish lifestyle due to their religion. When I compared it to the teachings of the Bible, I found that the Amish culture does not teach or believe what the Bible teaches, and I decided to leave the Amish community. Growing up, I had a lot of questions about our lifestyle, and I thought I'll get answers when I was ready to get baptised. But I was wrong because when the time came, I was told to do what everyone else in the community does and not to question. I started to realize that the Amish members themselves don't understand their religion, and many things in the Bible they take out of context. It was a very confusing time of my life, but after searching and reading for myself, I found the answers to my questions, and I knew I couldn't continue living the Amish life. My family tried their hardest to keep me from leaving, but I am so glad that did.
