Ex-Mennonite Dorothy Parker’s testimony how she was abused by the Mennonites.

- I am sharing Dorothy Earl Parker‘s testimony for her. Dorothy was mentally, physically, emotionally, and sexually abused inside her Mennonite home and community.
Idk how 9 children could pass away and the parents not be investigated and in serious trouble that ! That is really awful !!! 🧡🙏
They can't be investigated when the deaths are never reported to anyone outside the community. The church elders are the law.
Because someone would of had to call the police… and most Amish, especially old order will not call the police. Mennonites are pretty similar.
It’s the Amish, and Mennonites. Births are not reported and deaths aren’t always reported. Children don’t always get birth certificates and almost never get social security numbers. Some families will also name a living children the same name as a sibling that died. Easy to cover things up.
😢❤❤❤
Mennonites are not similar. I grew up Mennonite. A boy died not to long ago in my mom's community (he had muscular dystrophy and it was expected he would die) and the first thing they did was call the cops. Mennonites go from being similar to Amish to being no different than English folk.
Thank you Eli for shinning light into this darkness of abuse! I am a survivor also! Saved, and healed by Jesus! Praying for complete healing for Dorothy in Jesus name 🙏 ❤️
Because of what she has been through, Dorothy is very wise. She is doing the right thing to tell her story. I wish her peace, and will pray for this.
This was hard to hear but I felt the need to listen because her story deserves to be told and heard.
I attend a Conservative Mennonite church, but not old order Mennonite or black bumper Mennonite. Rest assured that Dorothy comes from a long line of abuse. This abuse probably started long before her childhood. This was a failure of men to step up and protect those in their care. From the bishop, to the pastor, to the grand father, father, husband, and brother. This is what happens when men fail to follow Christ. It is sick. It is a sign that these are not churches but cultural gatherings. My heart is broken for Dorothy and her entire family. Guaranteed it was not only the females that were abused in the history of her family or these churches.
Guaranteed. The males get demoralized first, they can't help but take it out on the females, who enable more crap from the men.
All of this is stuff that's gone on before, and SOME people used the Bible to get over it, and be filled with the life of Christ. So they have no excuse.
Hallelujah there is help to be had. Hallelujah.
So sorry Dorothy I can’t believe this is all being covered up and pushed under the rug. Thank you for sharing your testimony, I thank God for you and for your Born again conversion. There is Healing only found in Jesus Christ. You are so Brave to come forward and for all the Fear, Pain, and abuse that you and your Family endured. You are not doing anything wrong, this needs to be exposed and it will help others to come out of the closet and you are helping Millions. Millions will be set free from your testimony. I pray for your Complete Healing my Precious Sister in Christ.
This is so far one of testimonies that I cried & couldn't get all the way through.. I Love You Eli Yoder!! You are a fantastically WONDERFUL Man!! Your wife & family are so lucky to have you!! Keep up the great work!!! May God Keep you blessed & safe!!!!
Eli....your heart,mind and soul are in the right place. May you and your RUclips appearances help the abused individuals! May you be very very blessed ⚘
I really hope that this channel is helping to change things! You're so correct that there needs to be education within the communities etc. They're also needs to be punishment for the people committing these terrible acts of abuse. How will they even know it's wrong if no one is punished? Or how will they know how wrong it is I should say. I live very close to many Amish families. I worry about their children. I see them working hard at fruit stands, in the field, Etc., and I hope they're being taken care of. I definitely know some very nice and kind Amish families that are good to their children, but there are some that I'm not too sure about. And there's no way to even know anything is going on, because they are completely secretive. Any child should be protected, it doesn't matter what race they are, what religion, what gender etc. I hope that you shedding light on this situation really helps protect these children. It's like it's happening in our backyard and we can't hardly do anything about it. And it makes me so aggravated that sometimes when the police are called they still don't want to do anything. Just because you're Amish doesn't mean that you can abuse someone! Keep up the good work I am happy I found your channel!
So sad that Dorothy had to go through all of the things she had to go through not feeling safe in one place that you're supposed to feel safe your home your family home
This is so sad, just breaks my heart for her, and all of the innocent children that have endured such horrible abuse. Her siblings that didn’t survive, & her grandchild. She is speaking for all of them. Bless you dear Dorothy, I hope you are doing well today. Eli, bless you for using your voice to bring awareness to this abuse. 🙏💗
Eli, praying for you and your ministry over this EVIL.
Just heart-breaking. It's hard not to cry for these children who never got to be children.
Don’t listen to your haters. You are doing a great thing.
My son said mom you need to listen Eli Yoder"s testimony. When searching for it I clicked on this one. I'm only a few minutes in & I'm here crying for you dear Dorothy! My heart is breaking!
Dorothy,
Im so glad you know Jesus and you still have love in your heart.
The devil has worked to take you out from day one but the Lord has kept you
Your testimony has touched my soul today. Thank you for sharing.
“Heavenly divorce” hit home. Wow that is quite a phrase there. I was married to a pastor of an Assemblies of God church and I got away from his abuse by the grace of God. Divorced. That word causes Christian’s to look down on me and pastors to want to “counsel” me but it’s a precious word to me. He never laid hands on me in abuse but abused me mentally and physically by making so much work for me by destroying everything we owned and throwing garbage everywhere and then inviting parishioners over to humiliate me. I ended up catching him selling drugs! Heroin! It’s amazing how this goes on and on in all Christian religions. God bless you Dorothy and give you rest.

God bless you! My ex husband was UPCI and yes he never physically hit me but the emotional, mental and spiritual abuse was heart shattering. He was addicted to porn, tobacco and alcohol. I didn’t even know what “marital ra*e” was. He committed adultery and abandoned us, but I got the blame for not submitting to him. God saved us, my baby and I for sure.
Dude.
What a heartbreaking testimony. Eli, the Lord is using you to help people.
I'm not Amish or Mennonite. I had been a southern baptist for 10 years or so. Led worship, Sunday school teacher, deacon, involved with youth, etc. We had a falling out with leadership during covid shutdowns, and we stopped going.
Not hardly anyone checked on us. After all those years.
We've been out of church and fellowship for 2 years now. We have discovered John MacArthur teaching and seem to have realized our doctrine has changed a bit after really listening. We don't feel like we can find a decent church around here. Frankly, I'm not ready to move on. I miss a lot of the people but disagree with some doctrinal things of leadership.
I'm thankful to have found your channel through your funny shorts that led me to these serious talks. Your passion blessed my heart and teared me up to remind me how my heart has grown cold to the word these past two years.
Dorothy, what a warrior you are, my goodness. God bless you for your testimony. I'm so sorry for the horrible things you've gone through. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
Eli thanks for these videos yournpassion inspires me. God bless you sir
I may have said this before on a previous video but I'll say it again. As a parent or grandparent it's our job to live up to a promise that your father is the one who fights and eliminates their monsters. Not be the monster. It's the ultimate betrayal when those people are the ones who are committing these vile crimes against kids. My heart goes out to these people who had to endure these acts. Hope they find peace and the love they deserve.
Amen.
OMG! WTF! Dorothy I’m so sorry that you went through. At the beginning you said “I never got to be a child and there’s a child in me trying to get out” or something like that. I too have a little girl inside screaming for help, needing a parent to protect me. Now my abuse was nowhere near as bad as yours but it still fucked me up. Your not only a voice for your sister and granddaughter, your a voice for all the women in that same situation. Thank you Dorothy, you are so strong.
I Hope Dorothy goes to the police with this information. These molesters and abusers can still and will go to prison!
I didn’t realize during the time that I shared her testimony that three people were arrested for the murder of Arabella her grandchild so I think God and praise God for justice in that murder case
@@eliyoder491 Those three people were not part of any plain church group. That horrible tragedy did not happen in the Danville Mennonite community.
@@philipchamp594 well, I can tell you so far investigators have gotten enough proof that it did happen in the Danville Mennonite community but thank you for trying to defend them
@@eliyoder491 I could be wrong. But I don’t know that Burgess or Dell camp the ones charged with the murder. I don’t know that they ever darkened the doors of a Mennonite church. I would simply say that murder has no ties to the Mennonites. Now a lot of the other stuff I would say is truthful. Especially about the Mr. Freed. It is horribly sad, and I do appreciate the light being shown on the darkness. The only way to get on top of this is shine light on it. Kind of reminds me of turning the light on in the feed shed at night. The little devils go running. Well, I mean rats you know.
@@philipchamp594 I cant believe you really said this! Defending x y z??? If the victim says that it happened then it happened. Us outsiders have no right to say Ahh no. And thats the story. Maybe you want to be part of them too so that you can experience also whats like since you defend such disgusting sickening things. 💔
Ohh Eli ! I have been friends with many women in a nearby Amish Community for nearly 30 yrs , i am an OB RN working toward Midwife certification. They have BEGGED me to assist them in Birth....My husband went and talked to the Bishop to work out a trade program Instead of paying us Cash....He refused to allow us to move inside "the Community". I can not explain how crushed i was at the blatent disreguard for their wives lives !! I read a Biographyof an ex Amish who actually grew up in the community i am near (missouri) . I read Horrid , Revolting , Repulsive stories of abuse (apx 10-15 yrs ago). I shed many many tears over this , Not wanting to believe this could be true. I Burned The Book ! I Did Not want Anyone else teading that trash....Now , Now my eyes are open 😢
I😅 in
Eli, you are also reaching people who have nothing to do with any religious cults. Sexual, emotional, and physical abuse are present in all walks of life. Some of these stories are true in my own life, and I still struggle today. You are an angel and I am grateful I came across your page. Please don't stop speaking your truth!! PS..your chuckle is a bonus and makes me smile even when I don't feel I have a reason to. God bless you!!
Facts! I am one those people THANK YOU ELI!
I have suffered most of my life from abuse from both my parents. Some things you just never forget. The saddest thing ever is when I grew up and on my own I realized people knew and never did anything. Thank you for sharing.
Dorothy, you NEVER did anything wrong!! Thank you for sharing your testimony. I'm so sorry you (or anyone) ever had to go through that hell. You can now start healing. God bless you !
Prayers, love & hugs sent to Dorothy & all the other victims. May God give them all strength to leave & become who they are meant to be.
💌 Love from Oklahoma 💌
Thank you Eli for sharing Dorothys story, God bless her for all the evil things that were done to her to survive and to be heard. I never heard of such horrible things being done in some of the Amish and Mennonite families. Children should be protected, they are a gift from God. I thank all of you for coming forward to bring this in the open. I have to admire all of you for your strength with Gods love. It blows my mind that they have the nerve to say all of us who are not Amish will go to hell when most of us are not that evil and doing the evil things that they themselves are doing.
I too grew up in an abusive home as a child, but I also agree with you when I say that I was immeasurably blessed and cannot imagine the horrors that so many who you have testified for. Thank you for your work and, Dorothy I hope the Lord sends you peace and comfort. God bless you both.
Seems like there are common threads in religious abuse, whether it’s the Amish, Mennonite, Islamic, Luciferian or other radical groups. Physical, sexual and emotional abuse are common. So sad. A true relationship with God yields love, acceptance, joy and peace. I pray for true revival in our land.
you forgot catholics and christians on that list ..... same shit diff name
I can’t imagine the pain that Dorothy has endured. Thank you Eli for using your voice on her behalf. 🙏
Dorothy, it says in Revelation 21:4 that "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain for the former things have passed away." And the One seated on the throne said, "Behold I make all things new..."
This world’s not our home, we are just passing through. Thanks for sharing your pain. God bless
So thankful that you added the hutterites. It needs to be told. People need to be aware of what those communities are covering up. Its absolutely disgusting! Thank you for all you do!
I have actually heard from several Hutterites that are still in the colony and they are wanting to stay anonymous because they all live so close together and they know there will be lots of backlash and consequences if they are caught speaking out about what’s happening behind closed doors. Some even said there’s lots of alcoholism and porn going on.
@@eliyoder491 I grew up at a hutterite colony. I only experienced verbal abuse. Some of my friends were not that fortunate.
So heartbreaking 😭 There's a special kind of Hell for all abusers! Prayers for you all 🙏🙏💕
Dorothy I’m so very sorry. Thank you for sharing. Prayers for your healing in Jesus name.
God has Blessed you my Brother to expose the Heathens and share these stories of Demonic behavior.
I too have suffered and study the word of God which Empowers me To Answer the Call. Your channel has inspired me to do more for God's people.
I choose to also be a Beacon of Light to Empower others to share their Testimonies. Their is Healing in Jesus. Thank You LORD. 👍🙏
Dorothy, i am very sorry that you had to go through all that horrible abuse by your own family members and so-called "men of God". 😭
I am happy for you that you got away from that cult and were able to find a loving and saving relationship to our Lord Jesus!
Praise God for giving you the strength to forgive your abusers, that's a miracle!
May the good Shepherd always lead you beside still waters and continue to heal and restore your soul❣️
Blessings, divine healing and peace in abundance to you, Dorothy, beloved sister in Christ!
🙏🏻❤️🌿🕊️🌿❤️🙏🏻
This is so interesting to me. I was raised baptist, and so many of the things you are telling happened to me. My husband knows someone who attends a very nice church locally. To join that church, you have to turn over your bank statement and they require you do tithe that 10 percent.
Please keep making these videos.
There has been a big abuse scandal in the Baptist churches….. I have found it’s common in all organized religious groups
@@texcowboy I totally believe that.
My husband was a pastor of one of those churches and we had to tithe 10% of our paycheck that I needed for food. We would eat beans for dinner and lunch we were so poor. But we still had to write that check so they could buy coffee for the church lobby and send money to missionaries who lived 10x better than we did. He ended up becoming a drug trafficker and I divorced him.
Run from any church that wants your bank statements. That’s a cult!
@@LindaMcnally I agree, it’s interesting though, cause it is a huge church. There’s no way I’m giving anyone my back statements.
I bet the preacher doesn’t show his.
Dorothy I believe you. So sorry for everything you went through. God loves you so much ! Thanks for sharing your testimony ! May God bless you . I will be praying for you !
Thank you for speaking up.. I've prayed for years for a way to set the captives free
As a law enforcement officer, it ENRAGES me that not one official reported this abuse! I hope that this poor girl sues the fire out of them for failing her! Thanks for educating us on the real Truth about the Amish and Mennonites! It's unbelievable!
My God!!!! Eli, you really need to go on TV and on some mainstream talk shows to expose these truths about the Amish and Mennonites and eho they really are!
But it's not only them! These evil people are everywhere! You wouldn't believe what the Satanists are doing in Hollywood and DC! Look up adrena_chrome to see what's being done to children.
He's telling truth
🙄 Sort of like the many cases of _state_ abuse in those systems across the country? I agree that this is completely outrageous and inexcusable, but I also know people raised in foster care who can make your hair stand on end in a whole variety of stories of what happened to them. On the other hand, there are many Amish and Mennonite families who are far more protective of children than any state is. There are evil actors everywhere, including quite prolifically in law enforcement. The Associated Press investigation of this type of misconduct by law enforcement officers in 2014-15 has not been lost on everyone, nor forgotten, and two of the largest states refused to even cooperate in releasing that data. They knew what would happen to public trust. The idea that your profession is just on the other side of this issue would be nice, but sadly isn't the case.
No one in the group would have even thought to protect their children, in fact they believed it would have been against God to do so
Dorothy Parker you are an Angel from earth. Thank you for sharing this horrific past life you had. You are doing a great service for the ones who have no voice. I have a hard time for forgiving some evil ppl & I don’t know how you done it. You are a great inspiration for a lot of ppl here. Peace & love for you & your family.
I know what you mean. The thing is many do not realize, 'To Forgive' essentially means not to avenge and instead make way for God's Judgment. Most importantly, the Word of God is also very clear in teaching that one must steer clear from the wicked or the evil-doers (eg. Matt 18:17, 1 Cor 5:5, 11 & 13b). We may call it the 'Holy Law of Separation' - like for instance Abraham choosing to go the opposite way from Lot when first signs of trouble began among their servants. Likewise, Godless Hagar & Ishmael sent their separate way for both of them posed a constant threat to Sarah and her son of the covenant. Our prayers should be in line with God's Word so we may understand there are those who cannot be prayed for (eg. Jer 7:16, 11:14, 14:11..) but ought to be prayed against (eg. Rev 6:10, Rev 8:3-5). This is possible only if we learn to discern between our enemies and enemies of God. The Lord has taught us to recognize them by their deeds, and that is just what we ought to do. 1 Tim 5:24, "The sins of some men are obvious, reaching the Place of Judgment ahead of them; the sins of others trail behind them." Whether it is them catching up with their sins or their sins catching up with them, either way their CONDEMNATION is certain - Jude 4.
Churches have so diluted the commandment of forgiveness that it is become all about abetting and protecting the perpetrators while the victims continue to be tormented at their hands in more ways than one. Let us not forget 1 Cor 3:17, "IF ANYONE DESTROYS GOD'S TEMPLE, GOD WILL DESTROY HIM; FOR GOD'S TEMPLE IS SACRED, AND YOU ARE THAT TEMPLE." Trust this little message will go a long way in washing away any trace of bitterness that might remain. May God protect you and bless you for obeying Him.
@@mercyjohnson6436 thank you Mercy. I will try my best to process all of this…☮️☮️☮️
@@harley6222 Please do. For I wish nothing but absolute healing for you. God be with you. Love and prayers.
I'm so sad to hear the horrid abuse Dorothy went through. My heart aches for her and her family.
There is no statute of limitation for the siblings possibly murdered. Those bodies could be retrieved and autopsies done. God bless those two girls Dorothy and Peggy Lee
Thank u this is in so many religious churches. I'm glad u are exposing the deeds of darkness in these different religious communities. Tell Dorothy she is doing the right thing!
8/12, 10:30 pm. I have been watching many hrs of your videos & testimonies for the last several days. You have really opened my eyes to so many abuses in the Amish & Mennonite cultures. I grew up in Berne, In where there is a very large, modern, fundamental Mennonite church & a large community of Old Order Amish. The Amish I knew were all good people & well respected. They are very primitive and in sharp contrast to the more liberal Amish in northern Indiana who have solar panels.on their house, etc.
Keep preaching the truth! I am inspired and blessed by your words. Praise God for your ministry!
Incredibly powerful testimony.
Dorothy is an amazing lady, an absolute hero!
THANK YOU, Eli & Dorothy Parker.
Never stop speaking out & speaking the truth.
Dorothy, I’m so sincerely sorry that you and your loved ones went through such abuse and neglect. I just wanted you to know that I think you’re incredibly brave and courageous to come forward and tell your story. I know it’s far from easy, but it truly does make a difference and matters. Who knows how many people (especially young girls and young women) this will help. I know that it deeply touched my heart. I’m praying for your continued healing. 💜🙏
Your righteous anger at what happened to this poor woman is absolutely justified. Please tell her thank you for sharing, and God bless her now.🌷
God bless you sir for bringing these evil acts to light. My heart goes out to the poor woman who had to endure this terrible abuse most of her life. Why haven't this evil cult been investigated by the authorities? Child Protective Services must get envolved to save these children. Please keep exposing these criminals.
Thank you Eli for sharing Dorthys testimony. I’m so glad the Lord is your best friend, Dorthy. 🙏
We went to a Holiness church for several years. We were warned it was a cult, but couldn't believe it. After leaving, they would say they are so glad we're holding on to Jesus. What else would I do, leave my salvation behind because I left the church?! After years, my husband has remained friendly with the man that has now become the pastor there, and he would attack my husband from the pulpit on doctrinal conversations they had, because my husband is wrong, of course, since he can't possibly learn from the Bible, as it tells us we can...
I still seem to get shunned in public, even to where a man cornered me in the store to ask why I'm wearing men's garments. I was quick to point out that my salvation doesn't come from my wearing skirts, but from Jesus. That we go from grace to grace, and I've grown up spiritually. Then later my husband pulled over one day to offer him a ride, and let him know to leave his wife and daughter alone, lol, he's so good at protecting us.
There are cults everywhere, indeed, and it doesn't take much to make one, just man's pride, desire for dominion, and rules, rules, rules!
Lived in PA for 10 years had many dealing with both the Amish and Mennonites love the deep insight into these lives. I had always heard stories about some of the nutty things that go on. Always seemed so happy in these communities, but we all sin. Very interesting content and I hope more can understand these guarded communities so hopefully more folks can help those who may need it or light shed upon it. Sorry Dorothy you didn't deserve that. 😔
Miss Dorothy you are amazing. God has had his hands on you. He always has a reason for his love ones. God bless you and your s.
When I hear the testimony of abused people my mind goes back to my own horrible childhood. While it doesn't compare to Dorothy's life in hell on earth, it explains so much about my own. Why, at 66 I am a virtual hermit and have no faith in people. I pray that my mind can be wiped clean of the past so it will stop intruding into my dreams
I will pray for you and you pray for me, friend.
Dorothy, you are only sharing the truth. No shame or blame in that.
You have been redeemed and set free.
Eli please never stop exposing these monsters who ever they are
Dear Dorothy - I, for one, love you. You are so strong, and your testimony tells how much you love Him, and how much His Grace is sufficient. Thank you Eli for reading her testimony. Thank you for helping all the victims.
Words fail me.😢 My heart is breaking for Dorothy. Thank God she found you, Eli
I Grew up Amish about 15 miles from that Danville Mennonite you’re talking about really don’t know anybody from there maybe one or two people wow that just blows my mind makes me appreciate my childhood so much more may God bless you Dorothy
Poor lady ! Blessings of healing to Dorothy!💝
When I began watching your channel a week ago, I didn't understand your anger with the Amish. I understand now. God bless you for helping them.
my heart just aches for you, Dorothy-may you feel the love of Jesus as he wraps his arms lovingly around you...I just don't understand how people can cover this up and make the victims become victims many times over by staying quiet...
While telling the victims that they have to forgive as a victim and they can't bring it up again yet they're going to be victimized over and over again. 🤷🏼♀️Works for the abusers.
People don't want to be bothered to change or seek God.
This story is crazy relatable...I was a Mennonite as a child probably the only black family that wasn't adopted my single mother of 9 children just joined for whatever reason..we live in New Jersey and went to Vineland Mennonite church the only eastern Mennonite church in the state at the time..there may be another one now. My older sister was in her teens and went from public school to Mennonite school that alone is a hard adjustment but my mom couldn't handle her or get her to fold into the ways of the church so they advise her to send my brother and sister each to different churches in Pennsylvania. My brother went to the ephrata church and my sister went to the same Danville church as Dorothy. They sent her to a young family with the man name of Ed Kurr..he would rape her all the time and went she went to other church leaders she would get spanked as a 13-16 Year old by men she didn't really even know..she ended up leaving at around 16 and went even deeper in and joined the amish in lancaster County pa..a town called narvon to be exact..but to wrap it up my whole family left the church and it wasn't easy for any of us but I'm sure it was easier than for all of yous who are born into it...none of our family was raised annabaptist being that my dad's side is black and my moms Italian and Hungarian
A testimony interview with Eli might help you shed your past and leave it in the past. Much love to you and your family ❤
This testimony made me cry. Speechless. Thank you for your ministry.
Be the change Eli. Keep speaking.
So sad. Through the years I've heard so many terrible and horrific stories. More people need to speak out however fear of reprisal and excommunication from their family's keeps them from doing so. Dorothy found courage to do so and perhaps her testimony will bring out courage for others to have a voice also.
Thank you for exposing the abuse that is suffered within many religious communities. I have many family members who are Jehovah's witnesses and the same type of abuse occurs often. The elders of the church work hard to cover their sins and "deal" with the abuse themselves instead of involving law enforcement. The Catholic Church is notorious for doing this as well. My father is Catholic and sexually abused my older sister and physically abused my mother and all of his children. He always used the church to hide his sins and seek redemption even though he was never truly sorry or would even admit to what he had done. Evil and sin can exist within any religion and corruption and lies exist within too many church's. Remember to keep your eyes always open to deceit and your hearts open to the truth. I am blessed to live in a religiously diverse area in upstate NY and have many Mennonite and Amish neighbors who are amazing and kind people. Always willing to help their English neighbors and you can see the joy in their children's faces. Only occasionally do I encounter an Amish neighbor who gives me chills. The same goes for the local Catholics, Hindus, Jehovah witnesses etc. There is good and bad in all religion and our job is to not be blind to the bad and to embrace the good. Love don't judge.
Godliness and Religion are two different things entirely. The reason Religion is defined as Manifestation of Rebellious Legions of Evil-spirits in Mankind, Seeking Nothing But the Unmerited-glory of the Unworthy-man. Perhaps now you will understand why you find all religions alike. Besides, if you have any love for Truth & Godliness, learn to differentiate between Judge as in discern which is the blessed heritage of all children of God (Isa 54:17, 1 Cor 2:15) and Judge as in passing Judgment or Avenging which is the prerogative of God alone (Ps 75:2 & 6-7, 1 Cor 4:5).
Judgement begins in the church. That is why Eli is doing this work. He is truly of the Church of the body of Jesus Christ, not a Sunday Christian. I am sure he has helpers, God bless them.
We don't judge till God tells us.
makes my heart hurt
what she has went through.and knowing others will go through the same as long as they are being raised in these old order cults.I am just so thankful that you are showing and telling what people have had to go through .i think this is what it is going to take for people to know the truth.and for God to set them free.
Wonder if the cop even asked her why she ran away or she told him what was happening to her?
Absolutely heartbreaking what that poor Daughter of God had to endure. It is deeply disturbing that something like this could even happen. She is a True Survivor. 🌿🕊
I just want to give hugs and wipe tears away.We are soldiers picking up the wounded.
Prayer: Father in heaven, help the abused and the oppressed. You know Dorothy's sufferings, we ask that you give her healing and comfort, and direction for the future, in Jesus' name, amen. Help her recover from her mental and physical wounds. Give her insight and a will to overcome.
AMEN 🙏 thank You 🙏
Please share my one story of abuse .. the next day after having the baby in a hospital bed & I called for a nurse for over an hour with the dead baby in bed with me. I talked to him .... Then finally the nurse came... In that afternoon a priest came to tell about my sins ...I stood up in the bed screaming at him to go to my dad. He ran out like I was satan
Eli, what can we do to support the cause? Something needs to be done about this!
This happens in all religions, all walks of life, rich, poor, atheists, etc. Control & abuse is the human way.
Thankfully I evolved in my thinking and only had minor instances of unfairness during my childhood. I listen to no one completely----I question lawyers, doctors, priests, ministers, financial advisors, family, husband and just about any authority figure. Some say that that is what is the problem with the world that people do not follow the authorities, I believe you can live a moral life without consulting any authorities. I even question the bible---it was written by men only---authority figures. I believe Jesus was holy and humble. He emulated good behavior. That is just about it. Too many rules that lead to corruption.
Thank you for sharing this Eli! So important to bring to light the things happening in these closed communities and expose the abuse for what it is.
I also grew up Amish/Mennonite and saw a lot of it. Also lived through it personally.
God bless you brother
Sorry to hear that you have experienced it yourself. If you would ever like to give me your testimony or share it on a live video just email me at eli.ministry.06@gmail.com
You are doing a very good work, helping those with no help, bringing evil to the light is the only way, excellent preaching of the truth.
Hi Gary, Hoping and praying you will find healing in the Lord. May God keep you and bless you.
Bless you Dorothy. May God abundantly bless you. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏 You are a beautiful person. Don't ever forget that. Thank you Eli for allowing people to bring all this out. And for speaking God's truth.
What a kind and blessed man you are to share her Dorothy Parker's testimony. From 16 children 9 died = something is dreadfully wrong. How blessed you are to share her story. I'm proud to be a monthly contributor. G-d bless you and your channel.
What an inspirational story as well as a tragic story. You talk to her again, tell her she IS normal. Normal looks different for each person, depending on our backgrounds. Dorothy is a VERY strong woman. 💔
This precious woman should write a book. Thank you for bringing this to light, so many think these communities are morally superior. 🙏🏻 prayers for all who suffer🕊May they find peace and salvation in Jesus❤
Sickening!! My husband's nephews got molested by their own grandpa .. and the strict church he went to believed the grandpa over the kids .. said thw kids are lying 😡
A terrible story that has triggered memories of abuse for me and many others I am sure. My abuse was not nearly as bad but the feelings are the same. Dorothy is four years younger than me and at that time it was considered normal to hit and abuse children. I am so sorry that Dorothy suffered so much. She is a brave lady and she should know that God will judge her parents and anyone else who abused her, including those that allowed the abuse to continue by not reporting it and by covering up what happened. I am Catholic but don't follow all our church rules because I don't trust Catholic priests. You have helped me sort this out in my mind. Five years ago I found out that I am disabled due to Meningitis contracted at age 6 months. My parents knew that I was brain damaged but did not take this into account when they abused me for being "naughty". Thank you to you and Dorothy for sharing her story.
I have a Mennonite friend. He's a typical guy in most ways. He's served in the military and had a career in law enforcement. All of his brothers and his father have done both as well. He told me various things about the Mennonites where he came from (Illinois and Tennesee). He told me that his father had three wives, which he said was normal because they just don't file marriage certificates. He said there were 16 children total, 7 from his mother. He said his dad was pretty stern but abuse was unheard of, at least in his family. He said when his sister, who is a medical doctor, married a black man, the family shunned her. He was the only one who didn't. When her husband passed away, he thought the family would come around and stop shunning her. They didn't.
If there is anyone who might have a hope of breaking this culture of abuse, it would have to be Eli & Dorothy & people like them who care enough and can be brave enough to gather warriors of faith to defend those who continue to be abused. Help them to leave the culture by giving them a safe house...
Where did morals go? Were there ever any?
After viewing this, I have looked at other videos about abuses. A repeating theme is that there often is nothing that legally be done due to the statute of limitation being expired. A SOL should not be effective as 1. Their victims often have no knowledge of what can be done until they are old enough to become aware of such. 2. There is no SOL for felony murder, why on something like this? The Nazi's were pursued years to where they are near dying from old age, why not this?
Honestly this has been a shocking & sickening eye opener. I always admired the Amish and Mennonites as they appeared so incredibly good and Godly.
No more. I am now in reality.
Lastly, the US government and law is allowing this to happen if not actually enabling. Government is at fault and should be penalised for allowing the constitution of the US to be warped to enable freedom of religion to be an excuse for freedom to abuse!
SOL was extended for many Catholic abuses because the abused tended to have repressed memories, it took them a long time to remember.
The church would not pay damages except as payment for therapy. You could be homeless and starving but therapy was it. And when the abuse is severe enough, you can't get therapy.
And they hid the money, found all kinds of tricks to do so. Absolutely outrageous and unholy.
I did hear of one case where a guy got a stipend for his groceries and living quarters.
Women mostly get stiffed and ignored as much as possible, but a lot of guys hold back because society looks down on them for talking about it.
It's nothing but pain and they deserve all the hell they get.
Eli, youre shining a light in dark places. I love hearing about the snakes slithering out.
This little light of mine, Im gonna let it shine....
When I was 12, I didnt ask to shave my legs. I just DID it. My "mother" was controlling and abusing, so this was an act of bravery.
It took a counselor to tell me a husband is abusive when he forces the wife. A CATHOLIC counselor, mind you!!
Some Catholic parishes relocate abusive priests.
Dorothy, thank you for sharing your testimony. I know it must have been very difficult for you to open up your inner most thoughts and secrets with us. I know that that by doing so that you are helping others and probably preventing suicides as well. You are very courageous and I am adding you to my hero's list. I hope your testimony brings you peace and that you find joy in the remainder of your life. You did not say whether your son had broken free from the Mennonite cult he was in. My prayer for you is that if he hasn't that he finds Jesus and your entire family is able to break from that vicious cycle they have been in for generations.
You seem like a really kind, genuine person and good man, "good people". 🧡🙏
Preach it Eli !
Dorothy, may our LORD
Bless & completely heal you, you are special. 🙏
Poor Lady. 💔 Prayers for her all around healing. 🙏
Dorothy, thank you for sharing your testimony.
I’m with Dorothy!! I’ve had most all of the abuse! I can’t say I had the physical abuse ! But all of the others I did!!! I’m still working on being set free from emotional abuse!!!
So sorry Dorothy ! I don’t have words to express how sad this made me , I can’t believe people treat their own children this way , especially the Amish & mennonites , who I thought for years was so holy .. I can’t believe the pain they put you through, it’s unthinkable! How could they all lie & not come forth & get help It just shows us how evil the devil is & what a strong hold he has on some people.. Stay close to the Lord , never one second. He will keep you & keep you strong . The Lord loves you , and he will see you until the end.
I pray that God will help you forget your past , so you can live & live free without the heartache & pain of your past . No one , not one should ever be treated the way you was & im sorry that you had to experience that . But , those that did what they did , will have a special place in hell one day . God loves you & I do too my sister In Christ!! ❤❤
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
In my opinion, the more they wear "holy" clothes, special clothes, the more a great deal of them are putting on a show to cover up sick secrets and practices.
These problems are all common to society, so the leaders should have hotten a handle on them long ago, learned some ways to stop the madness. There's not much excuse for all this.
So very sad that so many of us have to grow up this way. Breaks my heart
Keep Going! You are doing mighty work for the true love & healing of Jesus - set captives FREE!!!
Eli, I bet your wife is so proud of you, and she should be. Your mom should be proud of you too. I hope she is one day, soon. If only all men had the love and compassion that you do.
Oh wow, God help her sweet lady. I can't keep from crying for her.
So sad.. I grew up Amish.. But never had to go through anything like this.. But I know it happens.
Love and positivity to Dorthy!
Ephesians 5:22 "And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them." That's biblical!!!!
See also 1 Corinthians 5.
Dorothy you are a brave strong and beautiful person and God has great plans for you! Thank you for your story and I know it will help inspire others and give hope to others and help them as well
God bless you Dorothy and eil you are doing God's work 🙏🏻
This is so heartbreaking.
I just want to give her a hug.
We have a Mennonite colony a few miles from town, we service their machines (sewing machines), some of the young people bring their families to the local AG church.
The older people have been lovely to me in difficult times in my life...
It hurts my heart to know how much people are suffering this way.
Keep it up,your doing Gods work 🙏
We love you Dorothy and your sister .
