    Hello Everyone! I just want to clarify that this is one group of Amish out of many. Their opinions and views on life are theirs and do not represent all Amish people. Most of this group are Beachy Amish and Marcus (the older man) is New-Order Amish. Beachy Amish are the most liberal Amish with the most amount of modernity in their lives. This is why I was able to record this conversation. When we "English" (all people that aren't Amish) say "Amish" we categorize many different types of Amish into one group and this is why this can get so confusing.
    For example, the Beachy Amish can have cars and electricity in their homes. The Schwartzentruber Amish are the Amish who chose to live away from modernity completely (without cars, phones, etc.) and are quite often the Amish we think of when we think of the Amish.
    Here is an oversimplified list of different types of Amish I met while in Holmes County, Ohio:
    -SWARTZENTRUBER AMISH (the most conservative and most removed from the modern world)
    -DAN AMISH (somewhat removed from everybody else, conservative)
    -OLD-ORDER AMISH (can't drive vehicles but some of them can ride as passengers, only have steel wheels on their carriages, not rubber. Allow Rumspringer--their youth to explore the world and "try things out").
    -NEW-ORDER AMISH (Broke away from the Old Order Amish. Less conservative than Old Order, but more conservative in the sense that they don't promote Rumspringer, they use rubber on their carriage wheels, use more modern sliding doors on their carriages, some have phones.
    -BEACHY AMISH (The most accepting of the modern world and the closest to the most conservative Mennonites. This is the group in the video)
    There are many other sects and to confuse things even more each sect has different rules depending on their church.
    None of the Amish are easy to open up like this on camera and it's only because of Josh that we got in with this beautiful group of people.
    In the next few weeks, I'll have a video inside a Schwartzentruber's home. They agreed to let me film as long as I didn't show their faces. It was a surreal experience, to say the least. I will also have some videos for you with Old-Order Amish people.

    I hope you enjoy this series! Like most things in life, there's much more beneath the surface with a lot of complexity mixed in. I hope you find as much joy in discovering the Amish as I have. See you next Sunday!

      We didn't even have a landline, much less a TV. Life was good back then. You got caught doing something stupid, sometimes the cops got involved and instead of filing a report the cop would drive you home and have a stern talk to your parents which usually ended in you getting slapped and grounded for an appropriate amount of time. I remember stealing a chewing gum in the local store - the owners called my parents and had them pick me up - that was a bad evening which I didn't repeat.

Parents should teach their kids values and morals and self-discipline and respect and how to live. It's not good for the kids when parents give up that responsibility and let schools and daycares do the parenting.

    This is 100% spot on. I was raised Mennonite, very similar to how these people live. When I was 21 I moved away and started living on my own, and I'm the only kid out of 5 to leave the Mennonites..i believe in Jesus and am a Christian saved by faith but I am no longer Mennonite. After being raised like these people it was quite the culture shock for awhile after I went on my own. I'm now married and have my own kids, but these values and beliefs will always be inside me and I am always trying to teach my family some of the simple things in life.. playing board games, putting down the electronics, turning off the TV, going outside and enjoying nature, so that maybe my kids will have some of these values instilled in them so they can pass them on someday.

      Apart from that, their lives aren't much different from the life in the Romanian village I grew up in. We didn't have many possessions, but we had our family, our friends, our own vegetable gardens, our animals, good healthy food, good wine and schnapps, good clean air and water, a full bright view of the Milky Way, and a good night's sleep, basically all things that Westerners pay good money to experience these days.
      As kids we used to play in the woods, go fishing in the creek, and play football all day long on Sundays. During summer break, we used to have breakfast, get on our bikes and come home in the evening, hungry, all dusty or muddy, with a few scrapes and big smiles on our faces. Our parents didn't know where we were the whole day, and they didn't stress about it.
      Nowadays everyone is chasing after bigger houses, more expensive cars and the latest iphones, so they get in debt, then work their whole life in polluted cities, in stressful environments to pay those debts. It's funny how nowadays so many people know more about some dumbass celebrities than they do about their relatives and friends.

I grew up deep Mennonite, mostly more conservative than the family shown in this video in Holmes county, in Berlin and Millersburg, two of the towns shown in the last video in this series. Amish women DO work outside the home...if their husband can't make enough money to allow them to stay home with the kids. As for the "husband staying home instead", have you ever actually been around a working farm or Amish business? No, you have not because if you had, you'd know that an Amish husband and father might be out in a field or in the barn or in the business shop....which 99% of the time is right next to the house. The husband IS staying home, he's just not underfoot in the house. He's out doing the dirty, physically demanding work so the women don't have to. Amish women DO work right next to their husbands in the fields or barn or shop, few wives are as much of real equals and partners to their husbands as Amish wives but, what I saw growing up was, while Amish women like very much showing off their physical prowess and ability to work, especially when young and looking for a husband, like 99% of women, they like even more being with their kids and being a homemaker and not having to do the dirty and physically demanding outdoor "men's work." And as soon as the kids, both boys and girls, are big enough to accompany either parent around the place while they are working, (4-5 YO) that's what the kids do. In between playing, that is so the assumption your comment makes of an Amish wife stuck at home with a bunch of squalling brats while the husband is having a fun at a job is entirely false.

    Hello Peter, I wanted to convey my sincere appreciation for the content you've been crafting about the Amish and Mennonite communities, both of which are Anabaptist Christian groups. Their way of life has captured my interest deeply. Being a Muslim, I've observed numerous similarities, such as their dress, women covering their heads, men saving mustaches and only keeping the beard, modest attire, strong family values, culinary traditions, and even their approach to insurance policies. If my schedule permits, I'm seriously contemplating a visit to their communities in December.

I worked for the Amish for 3 years at an Amish tree company that was solely dedicated to clearing trees away from power lines so people have reliable electricity. The Amish guys didn’t drive cars or trucks but you better believe they were taking full advantage of being able to use technology to work. They were in skid steers, bucket trucks, the boss man had a 4g iPad for emails.

      “John the Baptist, others Elijah,
      still others one of the prophets.”
      And he asked them,

      that the Son of Man must suffer greatly
      and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes,
      and be killed, and rise after three days.
      He spoke this openly.

Some journeys take some down odd bent paths that intersect the mapped path never again and sometimes over and over again. Personally I have been inside the life of faith, outside the life of faith, and back again. I know that I can be mistaken. So who am I to judge someone else that is truly also seeking the Lord, even if they are unaware? We think as human beings do, not as God does.

      @@mattiekerr9684 Amish people are just like everyone else in that some of them do things “behind closed doors” that are bad. I don’t believe there is a much higher incidence of such things in the Amish, although their tendency to deal with such things only within the church can certainly be problematic.
      As the video says, there are different “flavors” of Amish, and these folks are definitely more toward the liberal side. They interact with the non-Amish population around them all the time. Some Amish in Ohio are far more closed off from others.

    I really miss the days of not being glued to my phone 10 hours a day including right now as I’m watching this video.

      We live an earth centered life, growing food and being self sufficient without television. We do have internet and instead of being served entertainment and information we must carefully seek out information and look at it with a critical eye.
