    Or maybe they just don’t give a flying fuck about what the majority of the society says about them.

    At some point it wouldn’t be surprising they are the only humans on earth. IDK how it’s going their democraphics but as I know each family have a lot of kids.

      No, divorce is a taboo in all 3 groups and is seen as a personal failure to be unable to maintain a marriage. On the flip side there is a degree of unhappy marriages that persist because remarrying is not really possible if you stay in the community. Leaving the community means being shunned and that is pretty horrible.

      All 3 tend to have big families, because they come from big families. The Amish and Mennonites need the labor, Mormons just want to go forth and prosper.
