This TikToker is FAKING Being Amish?: Sarah Joy ThatPlainGirl Drama

[@Treekyboi]

If she was for real she wouldn’t have made a response video and would have been off the internet lmao

[@KylaJames]

True I see what you’re saying! Like if she chose the plain community that she says she’s a part of, she wouldn’t have felt the need to make a response because she’d be off TikTok and living the plain life!

[@Gemmagems577]

"She's wearing the clothes, so she must be part of the plain community" is such a ridiculous argument. My Catholic ass could sit down right now, buy some cotton fabric off of Amazon and a sewing pattern off of Etsy, and sew myself a dress in that style or ten.

[@KylaJames]

Agreed! You can even probably buy those outfits online, and she did work at the plain store either way so she probably would have been able to get them there!

[@Kylan1111]

Theres no real way to "convert" to being amish. They learn Pennsylvanian Dutch as there first language and after followinf ex amish youtubers for years NONE have every said that anyone was ever successful in converting into becoming amish. Also most have a very particular accent, and she speaks like someone who was raised going to 12th grade schools.

[@albinohamster4336]

No wayyy, I just watched your “Tiktok shop is a SCAM” video for 37 minutes and 27 seconds, I had never seen your channel before and I was shocked when I saw that your channel didn’t have at least over 200k followers, this is literal gold! This binge watching I’m about to start is exactly what I needed right now for my cramps

[@KylaJames]

Omg thank you! What a compliment 🩷

[@ms.melody6653]

I used to live in an area with a bunch of amish people and let me say, she would not have a phone if this was real. Mennonites are allowed to have phones but not amish.

[@KylaJames]

It definitely seems like if she was in the plain community at all, she would be Mennonite!

[@sugakookie6303]

The Amish in my area have cell phones.

This is some juicy goss. I do love seeing liars exposed, great video! 🖤

[@KylaJames]

Hahaha it is!! I loved her Amish content I was shocked to say the least 🤣🩷

[@Shelby-bu3wj]

I attend a Mennonite church and our children often have playdates. They are kind, gentle people. They speak directly and without sarcasm. They mean what they say and they say what they mean. The congregation also gathers with others when they are in the area and of all the Mennonite I have encountered none of them came off as she does. Not saying she is or isn't but she is a little different than those I have met. Good luck to her, whatever she may do.

[@uddelhexe3545]

Everything in her behavior is against basic principles in all of these communities. Showing off your pride via an App Like Tiktok, beefing with other people... Nope. Amish would never allow that. Idk about Menonites, but i'd guess that she'd already been cast out behaving like this and shedding a bad light on every community that she associates with.

[@mandaleemilly6367]

I agree. They don’t even take pictures let alone record themselves and upload it in the internet.

[@KylaJames]

True it seems so counterintuitive to what Amish/ Mennonite do!

[@LauraGlitteringMoss]

Love this type of video! It was awesome! I live in a small town where there are known Mennonite communities around. I believe you could be married in….but I’m not sure if just anyone can decide to “join” in to being Amish. Seems very odd to me. They are a very protective group of people and not sure how welcoming it is. Side note: my mother reads books about the Amish and said you have to be born in!

[@KylaJames]

Thank you!! I’m glad you liked it. And interesting! So it’s possible she could have joined the Mennonite community though the timeline still seems off!

[@meggo329]

You have to marry in and she isn't married. Also using the BITE model made by Steven Hasan it's a cult.

[@SavageMinnow]

​@@KylaJamesevery Amish community has different rules. While some may not allow converts, others do. There is no central governing body and each community has a group of elders that decide on the rules for their community. What may be true for one community is not necessarily true for all.

[@dismurrart6648]

Tbh, without even knowing how protective they are, just knowing people who convert to things, usually converts are the most ardent followers. That's the part that is a red flag to me

[@LauraGlitteringMoss]

@@SavageMinnow ooh super good point!

[@caffeinatedreader_]

I like this different type of video, you’re always so prepared! This situation is crazy & had never heard of it until now! I always look to you for the latest tea 😂💙

[@kittea1804]

im so oblivious to tiktok so i'd love more summaries of tiktok drama like this

[@KylaJames]

Awesome thank you!!! Glad to provide it! TikTok has so much drama to cover 🤣

[@wynnkidsnannylorivance4111]

I lived there for a very long time. There are many sects and ordinungs and they are all different. My children grew up with a girl who converted to a plain community in her twenties. It is very possible. Some have cell phones, especially those who work in the plain businesses. There are Old order Amish, Liberal Ordinungs, Old River Brethren, Ana Baptists, Old order Mennonite, modern Mennonite, etc.

[@nightvalebunny137]

As someone who grew up outside of a highly restrictive & highly segregated community, then got moved into one, and eventually broke out… I recognize so much of what is questionable. I wore makeup at school & talked to boys. At home & in church, I dressed and acted completely different. If I had been confronted by my family? I’d have looked like a hostage. If I had “accepted” and been absolved after being confronted? I’d look relaxed and calm. I believe it’s possible she was moved INTO a plain community, was threatened with excommunication, and had been playing up her “modern” obliviousness during previous TikToks.

[@Sparkmanda]

I'm liking this style of video. I usually just listen while I'm chasing around my son so I'll continue watching whatever style of videos you make

[@KylaJames]

Thank you so much!! I felt like my videos were more “listen while doing things” type videos so l was hoping this style would be welcome!

[@ArtemisAwakens]

I LOVE this style of video as an addition to your channel! Can't wait to see what you have in store for us 💜

[@KylaJames]

Thank you!!!🩷 excited to expand!

[@JinxedAF]

Thank you for posting where u got your info. I love that you put a link to markies video. You are a true one!

[@KylaJames]

Always!!

[@awhi3765]

I don’t ever understand how these dramas get so far. People don’t know what they’re talking about because they fail to do the basic checks and get overly invested in other people’s lives. It really wasn’t that deep. I watched a few of her first videos and I didn’t know how exactly she could be Amish and posting so I moved on. Anyone that truly believed that she was actively in the community and making on social media should probably not be on social media.

[@KylaJames]

Haha that’s fair! It’s just fun to talk about the drama that goes on online, at least for me!

[@softblankets]

i love this style of video!!! keep them coming 😋 you have such a perfect voice for this

[@KylaJames]

thank you 🥺🩷

[@corneIius]

i've not been watching your channel for long but i love your delivery and your perspectives on the topics you talk about. i don't have tiktok so this is like my little controlled dose of drama, lol.

[@KylaJames]

Thank you so much!! I appreciate that. I’m glad to know this style is enjoyable!

[@tamedshrew235]

Haha, plain people dont use clothes driers they hang their wash out on a line. It actually makes a very picturesque landscape. She could've easily ripped the dresses right off the line. Please respect the Amish and Mennonite communities as you would any other religious denomination.

[@dismurrart6648]

Tbh, it sounds to me like she wanted to do trad wife content but wanted some way to be unique. Plain community members wouldn't be particularly common, and most people in that niche are more people who escaped negative experience. Some of the videos sounded like she was referencing some of the trauma that those people talk about, but framing it as something she sees and is fine with. Honestly, i think if a member of the community saw her videos, they would probably be offended. Thats the big thing that makes me think shes fake.

[@KylaJames]

True that’s a good point! It’s like taking that content and going a step further.

[@dismurrart6648]

@@KylaJames plus there is a category of romance novels called bonnet rippers. It's basically good Christian men and women find love with a good Amish person and settle down for a cozy homestead life. What I find odd about her videos is that there's a lot of them where she complains about really serious misogyny and religious @b*se but frame's it as just another day or like her lived experience so I really don't know who her demographic is

[@11terie]

Just fyi, i accidentally hit a button.... exactly, a work uniform... of course she quit- yet was harassed (yet made money?) so you would have thought she would have deleted, lmao, Oh, tell ppl about their teen years... they (some?) get time to raise money for older teen years to "sew wild oats" in the modern world (as I've seen some DO- n get alcohol poisoning from unknowing fellow partying onlookers that they had no partying experience)looking from a window n a bit jealous attentive i can't believe she didn't post sooner about the neighbor🙄 N ppl should look it up, idk about you tube, but I've seen shows (+1) about it 😇

[@spamserket]

I don’t know what to believe. Great video tho

[@KylaJames]

Right?! I’m so on the fence… my heart wants to believe she is Amish 🤣🩷

[@samaraaaaa6665]

shes said since the beginning she wasnt raised in the community

[@KylaJames]

I thought so but I wasn’t sure what exactly she said because she took down her videos! I will say the timeline still seems inconsistent but I genuinely hope she is real and just living the plain life off TikTok! 🩷

[@skateforlife6258]

electricity usage depends on the Mennonites and amish community she is a part of. Mennoites can be incredibly diverse, with some communities being indistinguishable from modern people (electronics, liberal values, well-educated, modern homes in cities) to stricter controls on modern life. Amish communities are a bit more similar to one another. However, they vary with usage of heating, minimal to no phone access, car usage, and modern farming equipment. The amish are well known for limiting education past 8th grade ( this was a famous Wisconsin vs. Yoder supreme court case); while many Mennonites attend college and receive advanced degrees (both men and women). I would highly recommend listening to the plains people podcast for some insight from people who lived in those communities. All amish plain dress while only some Mennonites do.

[@KylaJames]

Very insightful! Thank you. I definitely will check out the podcast because those communities have always interested me!

[@moemunneymoe]

She just seems like a typical attention seeker that wants sympathy. She absolutely knew what she was doing when she made her first “goodbye” video. The girl was sympathy baiting in almost every video.

[@sarahosborne7477]

She is lying, because omish cant have cell phones etc..

[@Broadwaybutterfly21]

You can’t even spell Amish, you expect us to believe you know ANYTHING!? 😅

[@Rattyfanboy]

Why would you lie about that? Also I'm pretty sure people in the plains community cant have fridges, phones, makeup, certain types of glasses

[@KylaJames]

I think from what I’m seeing it depends on if they’re Mennonite or Amish. It seems Mennonite has less strict rules surrounding use of technology in the home! And honestly people lie about all kinds of stuff for views online 🤣 but who knows!!
