In a community as sincere and religious as this one, the notion of transgressions is appalling. So much so that if one does transgress, they receive a Meidung order which means they either apologize with their entire being, as sincere as possible, or be banished from the community until death.
Now in the outside world you would doubt the sincerity of an apology, it would take a lot more than that, but within the Amish community, they are raised to a biblically high standard of morality, making an apology as the same as a decree.
