Deep in the countryside of Kentucky is a thriving Amish and Mennonite world. A place that feels removed from America, where time slows down and things are done traditionally. Join me and non-Amish local Steven Haste who dives us into the local culture and explains why he prefers to live in an Amish/Mennonite community vs. the outside world.

U took that poor Amish guy to blacks section in Nashville u got scared when ole tribe show up it was best 2 minutes in RUclips history black woman crackkkk young black guy he was tripping the guy looking for a light then ole tribe show up
Peter, you are so good at showing what life is like, if there is an award for what you do, you definitely deserve it🏆
@PeterSantenello
Peter, can you do an interview with Eli Yoder ? he is an ex old order amish and helps people to escape from the Amish cult. Greetings from Germany
Can we all talk about how this man is doing the work of bringing people together by humanizing people who would otherwise be over looked? Bravo, Peter! Also, any chance to see Titus is a blessing!
Thank you, David!

Who are you to say "bravo?"
@DavidRJones82: I agree with your comment 100%. He is amazing!
There is no “GOD”
Bible is for “weak”people…..
We are born. We live our lives. We die.
It’s very SIMPLE.
Bible is for childish, weak, immature, hopeless, lazy people.
Good for John for standing up for his kids and protecting them. That is such an honorable move to be able to stand up against everything you've ever been taught.
John don't worry your not going to Hell for being a Christian. Quite the opposite
I'd love more conversations with John
Agree 💯
Love hearing about the Amish lifestyle and the different denominations:) Thank you for sharing:)
@@roxieolemeda3196
The person who is negligent with their family is worse then an infidel . It’s biblical:)
Much respect to John, standing up for his children and standing up against literally everyone he's ever known and everything he was ever taught.
That takes an enormous amount of courage.
He has a very interesting accent as well.
Yep. Pardon the expression but he’s got BIG cajones! lol
@@wrath231yep. A very intriguing Southern accent. I like it also
Rumspringa as I understand it is the time being spoken of. We stayed at a B&B in Amish country Ohio where this was mentioned and explained. I had forgotten about it but as your guests spoke I was reminded of that conversation we had about 8 years ago.
He left a cult
"Television Destroys Families" Well I think we can all agree on that.
Now it's the internet.
@@MarcGyverItDepends what you're doing with it, like your life
@wheelmanstan - only families destroy families.
Liberalism destroys families.
You haven't seen Gogglebox.
Peter is going to be Amish himself if he isn't careful lol
I can see that, he definetely is like in his kind of a home, when he is with amishes, and with Titus too, who lives also like amish way. Im pretty sure, that any decent, common and naturally spirited man sees, that amish peoples way to be and live is good for any human being, if he/she wills to live like that way.
- Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮! -
Wouldn't be all bad. Probably a better life then most people will ever live or experience.
Careful? What do you mean by that?
Maybe that's ok
Me too.
I love seeing Peter with Titus they have definitely bonded and Peter is all smiles when he’s around him. Titus energy is contagious! I would love to just sit and chat with you both.
Mostly when i had same feelings in life something bad came and destroyed such a relationship.. just saying my experience :))
Same Titus and Peter has a special bond, I love seeing them !
These video stories make you stop what you are doing .. and laugh and cry .. with each individual. Peter is a master at making people feel comfortable .. and letting them tell their story! This was another really good one!
@@bleo8371maybe God wasn’t in it.
Gods in everything
I live in Morgan County, KY about a hundred miles east of Casey County. When we were hit by a devastating tornado in 2012, our Mennonite neighbors stepped up to help in a major way. I personally had a group of Mennonites show up to help clear my lot of debris so I could rebuild. They also rented heavy equipment and dredged our creek to get the debris out. And they did the same for every neighbor who had damage. They are the best neighbors a person could want.
Ive lived amonsgt a bunch of them in BC Canada and i can agree with you.
People that rush to judge their way of life simply haven't known enough of them well enough.
They want their 8 year old to be quiet in front of a TV, while they are whining about child abuse in some of these communities and cant understand why other countries are doing better lately.
Well the 7 year old in Vietnam is running the cash register at their parents' store, what have you been teaching your child?
Many Morgan county relatives ! Grandparents house right next to that KFC downtown. Hate they put that there.
@willg2324 I know your family. Lol
I’m from West Michigan in an area with lots of Amish and they were always such amazing kind people. They’d help in a heartbeat. And they made the BEST cinnamon rolls and bread, 10/10 amazing people. Theyd come eat at my dad’s little diner and always tip well.
Listing to older man in his little store was a blessing. He sounded so pure of heart.
He really did, what a bright spirit
Yes he did Sandy, kinda breaks my heart.
Kudos for John for standing up for his faith in God.
He might be talking too much about certain things, especially when you could get kicked out of your community for lesser things.
Peter Santenello: Americana at its' best. Cogent storytelling with grace and humility-you're one of a kind -telling the American story as no other!!!! Thank you for your tremendous work! Blessings!
Thank you so much Shiloh :)
You're very welcome. You are such a kind hearted person, ( as we see in your interactions with others) may the Lord continue to bless you and your wife, and the very important work of telling others' stories that give us an insight into the lives of people that engenders an understanding and empathy for others that perhaps are not in our "world" Blessings @@PeterSantenello
You da man!! Sooooooo cool!!! I appreciate your courage and honesty..dude..you are my vote for truth..my heart is open for your mission..ty..xoxo ❤
I really hope that you know your worth Peter! Your illumination on an underrepresented population is life changing. I appreciate the effort and work that goes into what you do!! Just know that the content goes far beyond RUclips views. It is transcendent encompassing Americana in a way that's not been done before you. Thank you for that.✌🏼
@@PeterSantenello Are you saved from sin and hell?
Do you believe Jesus (ie. God come in human form) paid your penalty for sin in full on the cross?
That man John is the epitome of a Father and a leader. Dude showed every aspect of pure human, this guy could not be further from opposite lifestyles but i have learned some valuable lessons from this. Thanks dawgiiiii
He embodies what it means to be a Father and a leader. 🙌👨👧👦 This dude is the definition of a pure human being and I can't express enough how much I've learned from him. 🌟 Thanks a million, dawgiiiii! 🙏🐶
what a brave and authentic person to speak of his and his family's experience. and truly remarkable that he doesn't badmouth anyone
Peter gets presented with the gospel all the time in almost every video.
I wonder if he realizes yet that he is being called on
I agree!!! If he can't see that God is calling him home, may he wake up in Jesus' name!!!
@@thegoodfight426Amen
Matthew 16:18
And I tell you that you are "PETER" and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it.
I have noticed that too and am loving it! It is so needed now more then ever. I hope the millions that he reaches gets them thinking about God, no matter what religion
I love the respect Peter shows to all the people he interviews, and love how he allows them simply to share their stories. This is way better than constant interruptions and leading interviewees down a particular route that supports the interviewer’s political or philosophical leanings.
Yeah I love how Peter can in one set of videos get along with Titus and his beliefs and listen to his story and goals in life and then in the next still portray and also critisize Amish societies (which is needed as it is not rosery dreams of old), etc.
Recently enjoyed the worst NY neighbourhood video and the Gary one and it wasn't the usual smear fest.
Peter, you do the best ads for going to the US and going on a roadtrip! I really wanna go there again now :)
@PeterSantenello We need a weekly Titus show. Even as an Orthodox Jew, who rejects the Christian doctrine, I cannot help but be transported to a better place by watching Titus speak, move, act, and believe. He's a Blessing to observe. He is sincere, innocent, and pure. Definitely a mindset to emulate and be envious of. Please create a weekly Titus show. Bless you, Titus. And Peter, you make the world a better place, in a very significant way.
Peter I loved John at the store. He is what a true Christian is and he did the right thing for his family, God bless him and you too Peter. What a wonderful story !
“The only thing you can’t borrow when I’m not around is my wife” 😂 Brilliant words of wisdom
But his kids aren't off the table.
John is a heck of a guy i applaud his courage !
I actually would be worried about retaliation for his personal share in a small community, but supposedly none of them will hear this(?) I actually hope Peter & team follow up with him.
@@benniboop752 "but supposedly none of them will hear this(?)"
John said it himself that many have smart phones even though they are not supposed too, but yeah I didn't think about retaliation.
Oh, they will hear about this, and they will hurt him and his family. This entire putting them on RUclips thing as a whole will not end well for anyone, even Titus.
@@Dave-jm3zfSo not only will they retaliate, a fair few of them are hypocrites too. How godly of them 😂
I just never get tired of these videos! And if you _only_ did videos with Titus, I dont think that would EVER get old for me, either! You can tell they've quickly developed a friendship that will last a lifetime and I👏Am👏Here👏For👏It! I was so excited to hear that Titus met his goal to build his church! I'm an atheist, but an atheist who is _very_ open to having my mind changed. I donated to his gofundme and I *fully* intend on visiting the church to sit in on one of his services one day! If anyone can change my mind, it would be Titus. Love everything you're doing, Peter! And hope to continue to see a lot more Titus in the future!! ❤
Hallelujah
Your comment is very enlightening. My wife and I try to be very traditional and biblical like Titus, yet people in my general denomination (SDA, which Titus loosely identifies with as well) tell us that we should not dress that way because we would look too much like the Amish and turn people away. I think Titus is distinct in that he is authentic and biblical and yet does not act pushy as some very religious (but not spiritual) people do.
Sounds like you are Agnostic, not Athiest. Glad that your heart and mind are open.
Wouldn't the sermon be in German though? Don't they preach in German? I'm a new learner so I could be wrong
GOD works in many ways. Blessings
I have been going there opiate withdrawal and these videos are oddly calming. I am going to owe part of my success to you peter! It can happen to literally anyone that takes that stuff for too long. It is out of ones control. Pray for me! I need it!!
🙏🙏🙏 Let us know how you are doing. Eight plus years sober from alcohol myself.
So proud of you for making the choice for sobriety! Keep us posted on how you are doing. I'll keep you in my prayers.
That man, John...so well spoken! You can tell that he is a man that stands on principals, that he is a solid man!
He did an excellent job speaking on the pros & cons/why he left that way of life...all while maintaining a sense of respect for where he comes from.
I really enjoyed listening to your conversation with him!!
Shawn used to be my barber in Corbin. He cut my hair from the time I was 10 until he moved when I was 17. He was the nicest guy and I’ll never forget he gave me a book for a graduation present. I’m glad to see he’s doing well! I’ve been so happy to see all the videos about kentucky lately it’s helped me stop being so homesick
Botschaft means message.
Bless John for protecting his family and his Son your a good man! 😊
Peter, this is my favorite RUclips channel. I enjoy learning about how other people live. One thing I’ve seen in your channel is that most people are generally good people. It doesn’t matter whether they come from Flint or Eastern Kentucky, most people have good hearts. Many times in life all we see is the bad, but this channel illustrates the good. Keep up the good work.
I am also excited to learn about other humans.
Peter I do believe Appalachia and the Amish bug has bitten you. John , thank you for your honestly about the abuses within the community not all Amish are followers of Christ they are rule followers. Thank you being a strong Christian man who protects their family
I have so much respect for John. That took so much courage.
Something about these videos in the Amish territory is super calming and relaxing. Watching all this nature and environment feels like a good meditation honestly. Please keep these types of videos coming!
Oh, I totally agree! 😌🌿 There's something incredibly serene about observing life in the Amish territory through these videos. It's as if time slows down, and you can fully appreciate the simple and harmonious connection with nature. 🍃✨ It feels like a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 🌻💆♀ Embracing this peaceful atmosphere is like diving into a refreshing, stress-free meditation session. 🧘♀💫
Steven is a brilliant interviewee! So easy to listen to. Yet another fantastic documentary!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I have a wonderful time doing this video with Peter !!! Thanks again and God Bless
One thing I really admire about the USA is the freedom of religion that they have over there. It is something that every american should be proud of.
Only true till it is Abrahmic
It's going away. Our freedoms as were knew are being taken away , learn our rights & stand up for them . If the evil people & gov. Get there agenda pulled off , no more America 🇺🇸 with open borders . Fuckn greed !
We are actually losing it. It is very scary times here and we are living in the last days. They are highly encouraging homosexuality and discouraging Christianity. They are teaching in schools and colleges God is a myth. Being atheist and pagan is popular. Sex is really being pushed as well as pushing killing babies through abortion. it will only get worse. I wish I had moved to a community like this in the 80s. I am so tempted to move there now but I feel my children need me right now even though they are adults. People who live here are blessed.
Unless you're a Christian. Then democrats want you exiled or dead. Literally. Liberal democrats (leftists) are destroying the constitution in this country. If you're gay, trans, but or any other type of pervert that had perverted the natural way of man, you're worshipped on the left. They are willing to teach 7 year olds how to perform gay sex and oral, but don't think about telling them the 10 about commandments. Also, if you enjoy killing innocent unborn and in some cases, newly born babies, your also held up high.
You only have freedom of religion if your gay, trans, bi, worship climate or teach 8 years old how to perform oral and gay segs. Don't dare be a Christian and read them the ten commandments though. Democrat leftist are destroying the constitution in this country. It really sad.
I'm in Canada, but there's lots of amish and mennonites in my area. Their sense of community is definitely something to be admired and emulated.
You guys also have Hutterites --- whom I have never been around.
Definitely! I've come across a few towns with them in southern Ontario.
They make next level heavenly desserts!
Kitchener?
@@brendanjones3235 Around there. Milverton is one. Also Norwich. :)
They also got caught running cocaine to your country from Mexico
Seeing Titus in this gave me the biggest smile. Thanks Peter for all you do to give us the content you do. It is so appreciated! ❤
I cannot get enough of these videos. If it weren’t for Peter, I would know nothing about these beautiful people and the way they live. Thank you, Peter. 🏠🩵
Peter, many of us love these videos and I'm sure it is because the people nowadays miss a functioning community. They miss the non-violent interaction between all people. The amish have it.
it's about what we lost but are we willing to give some things up to get it back
Non-violent, yeah. Except for the corporal punishment the children receive and child abuse permitted by church groups. Did you miss John at the 21 minute mark going forward drop drop some awful truths about these communities? Religion is now and always has been an umbrella for committing terrible acts against those who cannot defend themselves.
well most of them do.
I have the absolute upmost respect for John for sharing the truth 💞
i really liked john yoder. he was true to his belief s.just an honest man.he was beautiful to me.
His love for his wife & family & the Word is great!
John definitely is a GOD fearing man that fought to live like WORD says and fights for his family. This world needs more men like him. I pray GOD bless him abundantly
I’m glad that Peter, and thereby 2.5 million other people, are able to get a sense of the value of living rurally, with traditional values.
Not necessarily as economically vibrant, but there is something more I think
It definitely reminds me of a simpler time in life when I grew up on a farm when I was younger.
to nit pick most viewers aren't subscribers
I live like that in Europa. The only thing that keeps me in the rat race is an income.
Why do they have to be vibrant?
vibrant just means pretty, grandiose, colorful. sometimes its the less vibrant things, economically speaking, that have the most strength.@@NotSureJoeBauers
This is fantastic. Peter's been hitting it out of the park with these series. I'm learning a lot.
That barber made a ton of sense to me when he discussed working with his son! You only get so much time on earth and modern society has focused so much on value on “stuff” rather than on what’s more valuable like family relationships!
This series is some of your finest work to date. To someone who knew very little of the Amish community and way of life, you have educated me in a very caring way, with humility for those around you. Keep up the great work. 👍🏽
It's always a pleasure to share knowledge and build understanding.
I believe in no religion but the respect I have for John is massive. Going through all that upset for his family. RESPECT
Time is short.
HEAVEN or HELL.
Choose wisely.
@@J_a_s_o_n Doesn't God already know the outcome? Why do you care? I left religion for things like this. You people are so full of self-rightousness.
@@J_a_s_o_n,
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So, it's on and on and on
It's Heaven and Hell
Oh, well, yeah
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginnin'
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So, it's on and on and on
Oh, it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
Heaven and Hell, I can tell
Fool, fool
Well, if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer
But nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on...
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no
Fool, fool
You've got to bleed for the dancer
Fool, fool
Look for the answer
@@J_a_s_o_n Well either should be good if they existed. If you get sent to hell for doing something god dislikes then the devil would reward your company.
Also Jason, which god do i start with? there's like over 100 of them and everyone says each others is wrong and yet they all created everything...
Sorry i'm being sarcastic, i enjoy watching stuff on religion and folk from other cultures but i only believe in evidence sadly so, no sky daddies for me.
Y'know its just Santa for adults right? I mean it has its uses because so many of us need a threat to behave, but for me personally i don't need that and i don't like how it hijacks good-will.
:)
I cant think of a more infectious smile than that of Titus. He put a big grin on my face immediately when he came out of the phone shack .🤠 Much needed in the wake of an extremely tragic time, having lost a spouse very young. Thanks, Peter, Titus and all of you guys
I also was happy to see Titus 😊
May God grant you comfort and peace in your loss. 😢
@@Deanna-WWJD thank you very much
My heart goes out to you.
Very sorry to hear.
A word about the sponsor Thorum, im in Sweden and my friend actually went to USA to buy wedding rings from them as I remember (they combined it with vacation), and they came home to Sweden and showed me the rings and I can attest 100% that they are masterclass crafted. And yes I am a real person and I just happened to see the sponsor ad and thought I would tell you all its legit.
This was really something for John (at the store) to open up like this about a community he has been part of for many years. And he still talks with respect about them. Great video again Peter!
This is RUclips as it's best. Learning about the world and different perspectives. Awesome job Peter - fantastic journalism. Less influencers and more uploads like this will enlighten many people. Love and Peace to everyone
its
Very
Yes!
!!! 😍
I live vicariously through Peter’s videos. Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories.
Ditto yo
Unfortunately I’m disabled now, so I do too these days.
Same.
wurrrrrrd
Amen ! Totally agree
Wonderful! Johns story was sad but glad he’s doing well now! Love the draft horses! My grandpa had work horses but not a big as draft! I learned to ride the youngest one whose name was Flash! ❤️😀🚙🌳🐗🌏
Appreciate John for opening up about his experiences. I think many people would do the same for their kids. Nothing but respect for him.
I'm from Tennessee and the Amish community there tends to try to keep the claims of abuse hidden. But every once in a while the state will investigate. But like any tight-knit community, investigating is difficult because no one talks.
Not just the Amish but Mennonites as well.
I guess this is a good reminder that we need to hold ALL groups of people accountable for this type of sin against each other.
ALL communities have this going on. Irregardless of religious affiliation, ethnicity, so on so forth.
@@WayCoolJr27Yes, of course, and I am not claiming otherwise. But the topic in this video is the Amish. I made a comment specific to the topic that was brought up.
Abuse happens everywhere but it's worse when it involves supposedly extremely religious people. How can someone live a super conservative life based on religion and then commit abuse ? it's too hypocritical.
My guy Titus!!!!! Everytime you see him, he has a smile on his face! I hope he gets all the blessings he ask for!
When you say “your guy” you’re not insinuating Titus is LBGTQ? I hope not bc he’s seems like a good man and I would be devastated to know he’s part of the alphabet mafia. No offense if you’re gay but just curious what you meant by that
@@Jan6thsurvivor”My guy” does not mean what you think it means lol. It’s kind of like “my man” or “bro”.
@@penguinswithwifi my goodness that’s great to hear. I’m 74 years old and everything I see especially on the internet it always has some gay wrinkle woven into the fabric of the story. I was just defeated when I thought this comment was saying Titus was a bundle of sticks too. Thank goodness and appreciate you explaining.
@@Jan6thsurvivorTitus has a young lady now, she stays with his parents at night and works with him during the day...I think we caught a glimpse of her in a video on Titus' page, just a split second sitting on the couch on the porch.
May God continue to Bless John & his family with His Living Word of Truth & Wisdom.
I'd rather believe in something, and find out there's nothing. Then to believe in nothing, then find out there's something.
i have become an avid watcher of your content over the last year. you are unique in the world of social media. To film and discuss without a bias agenda is incredibly refreshing.
I totally agree. This channel is honest and open
Love peter🎉
Incredible real life stories he shares. It makes me think of our common strengths and weaknesses as being a human living our days on earth together.
People are quick to discount the "Flyover states", this series has shown that many people are living quality lives without all the bad that occurs in our large cities. All that & Titus is a hoot!! You rock Titus...
Great point!
I grew up in New York City and its suburbs and used the term "flyover states" all the time without ever giving it a second thought. My life experience was shaped by New York City and Los Angeles, period. It wasn't until I moved to Las Vegas that I was exposed to how everyone else lived and viewed the world. Some might say "Las Vegas isn't the Midwest!" or it isn't indicative of life away from the coasts - believe me, walk five blocks east or west of The Strip, out into the neighborhoods of Las Vegas and it's as real as any other town or city outside of the coasts. I love living in Las Vegas and have been here 25+ years. I'm glad I found a piece of the other side of America!
Indeed. I grew up in the midwest rural country side. Went to college in the big city, and have now been stuck in the big city for 11 years now because land where I grew up is so expensive now due to big Wall Street corporations and rich-farmers driving prices up. Flyover states are full of excellent people in the rural areas. The amish I grew up around we're all very kind and willing to help you at any time. I will NEVER understand how someone could want to live in a big city. The country-side is so much more peaceful, views are amazing, and the people are wayyyy kinder.
Kentucky isn't a flyover state. Not in the original meaning of the word anyway.
@@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849
Well Las Vegas, even the suburbs, is still not the Midwest… It might be the typical suburbia outside the big coastal cities, but it’s in the Southwest, not Midwest. Still quite a cultural difference
when i watch these videos i dont want them to end. something about the stories and people youve been talking to recently has been so intriguing
Honestly Peter your channel just gets better and better, and much love to all the people who selflessly contribute...❤
I agree
If you've ever been to an auction full of used up, sick, broken, and then discarded cart and draft horses headed to slaughter in Canada or Mexico, you might not think so highly of how Amish treat their work animals. What an egregious, undignified, and cold-hearted ending for the animals that have served you for so long and so well.
Same happens to race and show horses too. In fact, they're sold to slaughter but then shipped to mexico and Canada by a third party to be sold as horsemeat for human consumption. Its illegal in the US, that's why so many end up in mexico over the border. If you knew the number of dogs and cats euthanized , you wouldn't be surprised at the horses they sell off for the same purpose.
I stayed at an Airbnb in upstate NY , the owners had rescued a neglected work horse from a local Amish community and brought him back to a healthy retired state. It was eye opening for sure after visiting the picturesque villages in Lancaster PA.
I have seen exactly what you are talking about. If the horse is all used up they throw it away like trash and think nothing of it. Like retiring your old tractor. I love animals and horses young or old.
@@surferrosa8392 I think folks just don't realize how many Amish treat their horses like farm implements. Use 'em, give 'em a little grease once in a while, and then drive 'em like they stole 'em. Very *not* Christian. Instead of saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (bible verse) after a long hard life of work, the Amish sell their broken bodies to get shipped on a cramped trailer to a horrific ending...all so the farmer can get the last $200-$500 out of them after a lifetime of good and faithful service.
Sooooo sad😢
John is a very brave man for not only leaving but for being honest about the major issues within the Amish. When you get excommunicated from your family for no good reason, that’s a cult, not a church.
Most of society is a cult, you just choose not to see it.
Sounds like modern day leftism.
Lol. Or just a fkd up family like MOST.
@@forzanerazzurri2339 Yet the amish are mainly republicans. so it sounds like leftism yet currently only seen in republican communities..
These are the 7 signs you're in a cult... most of these follow this or any other religion
1. Opposing critical thinking
2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving
3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture
4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders
5. Dishonoring the family unit
6. Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior (versus sexual purity and personal ownership)
7. Separation from the Church
These videos just don't get old! Every Amish video is different and so interesting! Same with the Appalachia series.....nothing redundant, great people. Captivating - love this 😊
i feel like Peter is being enlightened.
Watching on this extremely hot day from Durban South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
My best friend married a girl that left the Mennonite community in Lancaster Pa. Her parents use cell phones and drive cars. Guess all the different communities have different rules.
Yes, each sect has its own rules set by the elders.
Peter your work is absolutely amazing. the way people open up to you is refreshing.
Hey Peter. A town you might consider is Cairo, Illinois - at the confluence of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers at the very bottom of the state. Cairo was the Civil War HQ for Grant and Sherman during the Mississippi campaign including Vicksburg. The town is down on its luck and partially deserted today but had a population of over 15,000 in 1920. A little scary maybe (like Gary) but super interesting!!
Everybody's human, no matter what face they show to the world. But a person's inherent godliness and value to a God-centered community lies in their actions, not their rules or words. This gentleman John Yoder got a raw deal and I only wish a lifetime of pure love, compassion and happiness for him and his family.
I completely agree with this point of view. Everyone is human, regardless of how they present themselves to the world. But a person's true divinity and value to a God-based community lies in their actions, not in their rules or words. Although this gentleman, John Yoder, was treated unfairly, I wish him and his family a life of pure love, compassion, and happiness.
Hi Peter! I'm a x Mennonite. My dad grew up amish. You do a great job showing the amish and mennonite life with your videos! Thanks for all you do! and oh by the way I'm a Yoder too.
@edgeyoder...I would watch a channel from your POV.
Gods past present and future don’t exist
@@joinjen3854 I was excomunitcated when I ws 21.. I'm now 46. Even tho I'm no longer a mennonite I still value my upbringing and how I was raised, has molded the person I am today.And how I raise my kids. even tho I had a not so great exsperiance I still respect them for the most part. And Peter has done an awesome job showing a glimpse into their world.
My dad grew up smoking big doinks in Amish.
@@thepenetrator2006Reeeee! But muh Jeebus.
Another awesome video. I love learning what different cultures. Thank you Peter.
When I started watching some of your other series, fascinated by the stories you brought to life; I never imagined I’d eventually see my hometown on here and becoming you tube famous in such a wholesome way.
I loved Titus so much, I was secretly hoping there'd be another video with him this week 😅
Edit: 4:03 NO WAY IT'S TITUS hahaha
I think Titus enjoys seeing Peter too
Titus has his own channel. Titus Morris.
Oh I know, I just really enjoy Titus and Peter together. Vibes are always amazing.@@meloneyparker
“Television destroys families” - but ironically I’m watching him say that on RUclips. Thanks for sharing a little bit about people’s lives Peter
This was truly fascinating! Thank you,peter!
Wonderful people. Excellent interviews, Peter!
This has to be one of the best channels on RUclips. True. True. True.
Titus is so lovable.
Peter, another great video! Thank you very much for sharing this with us.
I was so impressed with steven and john ! what amazing example of Christians that walk the walk and talk the talk …. I didn’t forget Titus but we all know that goes without saying
Dang the love n respect Titus has for Peter is amazing. U see how happy he was to see him. These two need more videos together
I agree
They would be great neighbors.
Johns live is wild. Big respect for him going out of his church for his kids.
On a platform with all sorts of fear inducing "news" and commentary, these videos are so uplifting! Thank you so much for sharing your talent of talking with people.
Bringing smiles to everyone once again.
Every episodes better than the last, and the last ones have beer exceptional.
Thanks,
DMW (England)
Grew up near the old order Amish in western New York and western Pennsylvania. They are salt of the earth, godly, hard working, and admit to having problems like everyone else. My mindset is becoming more Amish with a small homestead. Excellent video!!!
How much land do you have? I am trying to decide between two properties. One is only a 1/2 acre and the other is 5 acres but I like the area of the 1/2 acre much better.
@timeforchange3786 you need the 5 acre one
@@timeforchange3786
Hows the water on each?
How much timber to cut and heat with?
FWIW 5 acres is barely enough for one horse or one cow.
Not to mention a wood lot or a garden.
@@tittiger yeah, I was mostly thinking of chickens and turkey. Maybe a mule. 😊 1 acre woods 1/2 acre pond. I am 55 so can't do too much on my own.
I’ve followed Peter through his many adventures yet this series with Titus and Casey County have been especially interesting as I live in Louisville, KY about 2 hours away. Our lifestyles are very different. So close yet so far away. I would love to meet Peter. Hopefully I’ll meet Titus and others one of these days.
God bless Titus, what an inspiration to believers and non-believers.
I love the education you're helping to give all of us, as we learn more about our fellow citizens, of both our country and the world, through your videos.
Another awesome video! Thanks for sharing! 😊
Peter does such a good job of allowing people to talk without interruption. Great follow up questions showing he’s listening
Another great video!!
Yes, i agree. Its key to a good interview, yet so many interviewers don't or can't do it.
I agree.
let's hope that peter will become a fisher of men through his youtube channel
Your vids are always insightful and amazing !!!!
A great and interesting video Peter. Thank you for posting this one.
These folks, all of them, English, Amish, Mennonite, and others, have it figured out. Community, Community, Community, be good to one another, do good, help your brother or sister out, and peace will befall you and yours. Peter, thank you for shedding light on everyone you do, these are the stories of us, of America, of the America of hope and the dream which can be fulfilled.
In theory that sounds nice. In reality that is not what is happening - Abuse is hidden, it is very hard for the kids to break out and choose another life style, hell they are so isolated they cannot even SEE there is another reality than the one their parents chose and force-chose for them.
You don't own your kids, you caretake and guard them till they are adult and then they must be ready for society, all of it, that is the point of parenting, not to get farming slaves.
Just 8 grades of classes means you are doomed to do hard labor for life with no social movement possible without extreme work ahead of them.
It's a cult that guards their own part of a world, which is fine if its just you but IS child abuse if you deny your children a future with an actual choice for them.
@@barath4545 100%, but that sort of abuse is literally, everywhere in the USA right now and has been for a long time. Tens of thousands of kids across the country, never finish school, because their parents are absent in their duties, but that doesn't mean all is bad here. Take Titus for example, he helps his neighbors, his neighbors help him, the guy with the barn, it was back up in days, here in California, that would take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars and likely, not one neighbor would help in the build. Yes, bad is everywhere, it was mentioned in this video, but, don't stain the entire community on the actions of the few. This is how the majority choose to live, if not, it wouldn't still be a thing. Focusing on the bad is what is getting this country where it is today, there is far more good than bad, but we just love our Doom Loops.
And, to say they are solely relegated to a life of hard labor on an 8th grade education is just baseless and sounds really biased and unthoughtful. Remember the guy mentioning one who became an Engineer? School is meant to give you a base, higher education doesn't necessarily have to be at a college.
@@barath4545there's good and bad and both of you have valid points. I dont think its beneficial to point to the outliers though.
Is getting 6 figures in debt by continuing post secondary educatuon the right way? Lots of people would say no.
If you know what you need to know to be competant by grade 8 and get out and work to help your family, is it really wiser to stay in school and then go to work for 50hrs for a salary to make somebody else's family wealthy?
Not everything needs to feed an industry and if you arent in a large amount of debt, how much money do you really need?
@@barath4545same happens out in the world at least they are trying everyone out there don’t even try
Steven is a gem! Such a great man!
So totally enjoyed this video! Good job, Peter!
Loving this series. ❤
Clicked so fast. I’m 29 years old now and grew up at the Jersey Shore but when I was a little girl I was fascinated with the Amish and my parents would drive me to Lancaster to drive around and shop. I’ll never forget a tour of an Amish home. As a kid it even inspired me to go to farm camp where I milked a cow and made hand churned ice cream and wore a straw hat. I’m a big girl now and I still am fascinated with the way of life. I need to make the drive out soon.
Yea I enjoy doing the Lancaster tour. Very cool seeing them from York. Sight and Sound Theater! Shoo fly 🥧
Rural Lancaster is still beautiful and timeless, despite the tourism, strip malls and the Amish leaving for places like OH and KY. Take Amtrak from Philly to Lancaster during the day, and you're bound to look out the windows and see buggies and farms that appear transplanted from the 18th Century.
As someone who grew up in Lancaster with Swiss Mennonite ancestry, I've always wanted to explore the various Anabaptist enclaves in other states.
Peter have you gotten to speak to any female Amish / Mennonite woman during this journey? Curious what the women would say about all this. Or if they’ll talk openly like Titus & John ? Super interesting stuff. Really makes me appreciate & respect them.
Good point
Great video !! As always, I learned a few new things about this community. 👍
Great work as always. Thanks 🙏
You really seem to be on something here, I can’t get enough of these videos. The conversations just keep getting better and better.
Steven is a real gentleman and great neighbor. Thank you.
Didn’t I see him vape?
Very interesting, thank you to everyone involved.
