You know, the Amish don't even think that you should live that way all the time. They allow their children a period of "running around" where they leave the fold for a period of time, engage in secular behaviors, before deciding whether to come back to the Church. It's really difficult for them if they decide not to because they're basically cut off from everything. I saw this movie on the Amish also - a documentary - that you might like. It's called Devil's Playground - and it follows a bunch of Amish teens during their leaving the fold. I am also fascinated by the Amish way of life.
