I invited our former-Amish son-in-law Harvey to accompany me on a speaking engagement. He's a valid resource. Maybe I could defer an audience question to him.
"
No!" he protested. "They'll put me in the question box."
I smiled. Understood. Dropped it. Many former Amish do not reveal their upbringing because they'll be cocooned in questions. Curiosity. Same interrogation.
It's not that they don't embrace their heritage. But most want to be accepted and blend into the new world they chose.
Some form...
