Strangely enough, 97% of them return and never leave their people. That's part of their normal way of life. Rumspringa is what it's called, and it's a tradition of rights, so to speak. During this time, they are allowed to do whatever they please, then make a decision. Makes me wonder if the same would be true of Pentecostals...but I'm not wanting to find that out.
Those girls weren't rebelling. There is no need to rebel when one is given permission.
