@@balwc147 and what’s wrong with feminism? We stick up for believing that men and women should have equal rights and I’m sure a lot of Amish women would agree with that
I felt the same. I think he will make a wonderful father. I loved watching the both of them smiling and laughing at their guests. It makes me think that they would be very loving parents.
The host did a great job with the teenagers. Although it may not be for everyone, the community lifestyle is beautiful. I wish I knew more and taught my children more about how to live a more simple life.
Two of the most fundamental aspects of Amish life. They are kind to everyone and they are very reserved with their emotions. Many are reluctant to interact with outsiders, but they would never be deliberately rude.
They're raised to genuinely care for one another. You know, were all basically just one consciousness experiencing life through different perspectives.
I like the Amish way of life as compared to the modern world. I think I can better enjoy peace and can better apply and enjoy my Christian belief if I live with them. Wonderful society.
Me too. I always joke with my husband that if I become a widow, I will take the insurance money and go to live in Amish country. I would be perfectly happy to live this way. I don't need all the technology and materialism. My ancestors were pilgrims and pioneers, and as crazy as it sounds, the 2 weeks my family had no power were the best we had as a family. We were living in a log cabin on a lake with a fireplace, and cut off by road flooding from stores and everything. Every day I made more candles, boiled water for dishes and cooking, while my son gathered kindling, chopped firewood etc. to get everything done by sunset. At night we gathered around the fire while I read to my son, and made candle wicks, scrubbed clothes,. I got to dig out my great grandmothers cookbooks about how to cook over an open fire, and her antique oil lamps packed in crate since ww2. I have never seen my family work together as a United team as well before or since. My son had a new sense of independence and self esteem by being put in charge of the fire, and not letting it go out, and banking it. I'm not saying I yearn for a catastrophe, but that this way of living has a lot to be said for it. There was no laying in bed worrying about your emails, or cell phone, or any of that, and when work was done for the day it was done and everyone relaxed. No one was texting me at 11pm expecting an immediate response. People banded together and helped each other and no one cared about stupid nonsense like what the Kardashians were doing. I think I could retire quite nicely in this lifestyle, lol.
You can live near the Amish without giving up electricity, etc. In many communities, they live side-by-side with the "English". The Amish just disconnect their houses from the grid.
I'm not even religious, but if there's a God out there, I truly hope they bless this couple with a child. They were so kind and loving and would without a doubt make wonderful parents. This episode got me so emotional.
I know me too! I hope they have a child some day or five! Haha! And then that little speech at the end about the teen cutting his hair out of respect 🥺 and he cried hearing it 🥺. That was so special especially after hearing the boy talk bout being lonely and not having a family, you could see he took to him as a father or brother figure right away... really so touching. I thought that was so sweet what the kid said about why he cut his hair too. He’s a really sweet kid. And the couple are such kind people.
GET READY TO MEET THY GOD. HE IS REAL AND HE IS NOT COMING BACK HANDING OUT LOLLIPOPS AND HUGS. THIS IS A CULT AND IS RELIGIOUS. GOD IS HOLY AND THEY ARE BOUND IN LIES AND WHAT THERE MORTAL MAN PREACHERS TELL THEM TO DO. NO ITS CHRIST ALONE. READ YOUR OWN BIBLE AND OBEY IT. 1 COR 6: 9- 10..

I became a little offended when they called the way the Amish dress "gross" and "ugly". Their lack of emphasis on the superficial is actually quite beautiful
My heart goes out to James. In the beginning he came across as a spoilt brat, but then, if you hear his story and realise he was in foster care and then embraces the hairstyle as a sign of respect - it is heartwarming. He is looking for acceptance.
I totally agree. When James spoke about his new hairstyle. I saw the joyful tears in Jonathan eyes. I had to listen to James speech over & over. Just a powerful speech that can warm our hearts. Thank you Jonathan & James. Much care, love & I pray for you. To all as well have a great simple, peaceful, joyful life. As for me... I think & care of others more than for myself. I’m still searching what’s there for me in life. Although I’m a marry man & a dad with two handsome young boys Aaron 4 & Adam 10. I love my beautiful wife Junn dearly, In time... We’ll reunite again. They in Malaysia & myself in Kansas City Kansas.
Bell Dao You sound like a good man. I hope your wishes come true! I’d love to know how your family got split up and how to fix it. I agree with you about James speech. What a lovely young man who had to make his mom cry seeing how much of a truly fine young man her son has became. Take care and get to Malaysia when this virus leaves us.
Oh goodness, I cried at least 2 times watching this. The amount of love and hospitality that the Amish have in their hearts is incredible. They are such godly people.
Be careful not to stereotype...the hosts in this program were VERY good people. Not all amish are the same; some are, some aren't. You'll find all kinds of personalities in the Amish as you do in the "English" world. I do agree however that these hosts were exceptional, especially towards James.
The hosts were exceptional, especially towards James AND Charlotte. I love Charlotte, she's so sweet and she really changes throughout the show and afterwards, it's wonderful.
Amelia EverythingBabyNames very true. Its so beautiful. I cried right through the film. The conbection is sime true caring and real. Its a beautiful life. Lovebit.
I absolutely loved this. The teenagers couldn't have been more grateful & humbled. They were amazing. This kind of life is something that I long for as well.
Faith Naomi I too have just sent out a heads up to God, to make sure this lovely couple gets the family they deserve. If anyone would be a wonderful guide to a bunch of children, it’s these two. ❤️
According to a comment above, someone apparently met Jonathan and they were indeed, as of the time of the post, able to have a daughter, so far. God bless 'em!
Jordan Sutherland no he's right they really don't do photo's and video's ect only if not showing their faces but more and more you see it changing but very sad to see it changing so much they have the rules for a reason and some of it can be to defend their ways of living so not every amish gets on camera is a fake they might be on rumspringer where they can be in two worlds theirs and ours.It just depends.
”Not knowing how to handle a shovel is quite unheard of in the Amish community” Believe me, I thought it was unheard of in every single country on earth. But I was mistaken.
She says that the clothes is who she is and that amish community takes her individually Because society has trained you to be a consumer.. You been brainwashed into thinking that your personality has to be bought.
Maybe that is the case. But also, if everyone is forced to dress the same, then you do lose a bit of your individuality. You don't have to buy your personality as you mentioned. But forcing everyone to look the same is not really the answer. Glad the Amish are happy with thier lifestyle, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
Ok but to be fair clothes also allow you to express yourself in every situation whether you are speaking to the people you’re passing by or not. So, I do agree to an extent what you’re saying... and obviously were trained to think these things have VALUE when they don’t... but I think you’re more thinking about society making us believe we need certain brands of clothes or certain labels to make people think we have some value or level of success. In that case, I agree that that’s totally fabricated (no pun intended lol). But, in reality, clothes also allow you to express yourself without speaking. It’s like an art for some of us who are into fashion (I’m not into buying fashion. I’m a designer so I design, make as well as upcycle my own clothes, and also have my own business where I sell my wearable art... I’m not being pompous lol that’s the best category to describe it hahaha). It builds confidence to walk around the mall or wherever and know you’re presenting yourself in the way that you want people to think of you. It doesn’t MATTER but to make like it isn’t a form of expression and is that is solely a lie is a bit silly. It very clearly is a way to express yourself. I know people who only shop at the Salvation Army and never buy anything more than a few dollars. Why do you think the FIRST thing cults do is make everyone strip and change into the same outfit as everyone else? To remove identity and any feelings of individuality. It’s a manipulation tactic to make them feel like a herd instead of an individual. Don’t get me wrong, agree to disagree. Just giving my opinion as someone who designs (affordable) clothes 🙂
Again I think that comes from a brainwashed idea. That our clothes showcase our personalities. I truly do not think anything that needs to be bought needs to be the way to showcase our individuality. The amish reinforce that.
Seeing Jonathan and James is simply precious. I feel like they give each other so much - Jonathan can teach James, while James gets a sort of father figure.
This mini-series is literally the best I have ever watched. I keep coming back to it. It’s my happy place. Whenever I am stressed or lose faith in life, I come back to this series and it makes me happy to see that there really are good, simple, wholesome people in the world.
I don't get why everyone is hating on the British teens. I think they are pretty open minded and accepting of the completely different Amish culture. They are reflecting on their own life and most of them are genuinely interested in learning about the Amish way of life.
Alinastephanie Yes. Although that's true and nice and all, they're still ignorant, immature, and annoying. Our society has been dumbed down and it shows.
@@autumnspring6624 But you can't change 18 years of how they were brought up in 6 weeks. I'm sure this changed how they look at things and act and hopefully makes them a better person. We all can change if we are shown a different way....
The best thing about these shows is seeing how friendships and bonds develop between the people who you'd never suspect. It is beautiful to see love at work that way.
Jonathan and his wife are just lovely, very kind, giving & humble people. Watching this warms my heart & actually explains their life from a different point of view. Western Society should stop judging these people because they’re different, but if you watch it’s a SIMPLE, HAPPY & CONTENTED LIFE 🙏🏼
For real.. I like the buggy in the horse because I don't like the speed limit here is too fast so I definitely would probably do really well living in the Amish world..🌏❤
I agree with the Amish guy when he says that the English teens talk a lot - they don't seem to be able to shut up for even 10 seconds! When you're constantly yabbering away all day, you never learn to keep quiet for a while and appreciate your surroundings.
@@claudiasoare9032 You can be close to God if you want. Jesus says in Matthew 15:3 - But he answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Give your heart life to God, is a personal relationship with Him. You can keep your life away from the practice of the world, He can teach you, without the traditions of men
My husband and I have close Amish friends, who have some of the same problems, anxieties and fears that we do. God can calm an anxious heart, as you draw near to Him through His Son Jesus. Praying that you'll experience His peace 🙏
Me: “yeah I think I could live the Amish life” Also me: *laying in my bed, watching on my phone with a fan blowing on me while watching TV in my LED light room*
I cried though this...I don't know why :( I feel that us living in western society have lost some of the connection to family, the absence of hard work and caring for one another from the heart. I hope to one day live like this at a slower pace and be closer to nature, God and have the comfort of living in a community of like minded people.
I was born in the town just north of this place in Madison Ohio and go there yearly. These Amish has a wonderful cheese factory and it is the best cheeses you ever had. They are really nice peaceful folks. Anyway, they got life figured out quite well. God Bless Them.
I know this is a really old comment, but have you heard anything about the Guggisberg Chalet In The Valley restaurant? Last time I was there, they were closed and didn’t know if they were going to reopen.
This is a real ‘reality show’ This was totally heartfelt and addressed so many important themes: family, community, respect, the land, men being men and women being women. The best part was the victory at the end when they got to know each other and were touched by the friendships and commonalities. This is a truly excellent show.
"It's gonna be hard washing dishes everyday. You have one for the bubbles then you have a second one to get the bubbles off and then you have to dry it..." um, yeah, that's quirky little ritual called washing dishes.
the simplicities of life are so beautiful. we spend ours days trying to make life easier and end up with complexity and grief. we miss out on the trueness of life altogether completely.
I would love to stay with the Amish for a few weeks to learn about them. Thank y'all for inviting them to stay with yall to learn new things in life. Much love to you and your family from Anniston Alabama
Awe, it was very touching . :) At first, I really thought that those teenager weren't going to partisapate in anything but they did. They really respect the Amish people.
Samuel Loshark -- --Here a quote you should read: "I see your grammatical errors. I will not correct or ask you beacuse i know what you meant." Julia Tuner
The one girl really did not know how to do dishes??? Now, I don't think kids should be treated as slaves, but by God Almighty what good do parents think they are doing for their children by not teaching them basic life skills??? Spoiling them so much? It's really a disservice to the kids. It's a good thing for some of these kids to have done this!
I know some people who don't even know how to turn on an oven. How are they supposed to go into adult life if their parents don't teach them basic skills?
This was one of the most amazing things I have seen in a long while. I believe these teens lives will truly be changed by this experience and the people who provided it to them.
The Girls look really amazing in plain dresses it really shows their natural beauty. I would simply love to spend 5 weeks with the Amish really. I love their plain lifestyle and everything, and I'd really like to strengthen my faith. I wouldn't mind washing dishes day in day out if I could live with the Amish. I love cooking too!
Wanna know whats crazy? Im a born again christain and I’m moving to Lancaster Pennsylvania next month, there’s Amish housing community’s surrounding my house I’ll be moving too. I do dress modest with skirts and dresses to the knees or longer. But everything about the Amish I love. I feel like God is calling me to join the Amish. I’ve been so interested since I’m also moving there.
The amish people are just blessed I feel you guys ain,t missing nothing outside in this evil world.as long as the amish people keep your faith in Jesus. God bless the amish people.
Technology has created so much convenience, and yet there seems to be an aimlessness in the youth with each succeeding generation. There is an emptiness within themselves which they try to fill in with constant chatter through social media. There is no purposeful activity. I feel youth ages 12-and up ought to be allowed to work for example 3 hours 1x a week at a local bookstore and earn money. Cooped up in school, studying tests, more homework, just hanging with their age peers what are they learning. Once upon a time in the previous generations youth worked along side adults. Apprenticeships ought to be brought back. Not everyone is meant for university.
Venabame b You seem to be kind oblivious to the fact that apprenticeships still exist very much. People apprentice with the "masters" of whatever they are learning all the time. They never went away.
it's nice for Amish to give up for GOD but do you realythink GOD. wants us. to humiliate yourself. to. show you. love the Lord. this gives others. the idea that GOD wants us to live. like. slaves. with no electric. or. ?????? things. we need. and not too many. want to be. by a forcefull GOD. who would. let people forse themselfs. to live in poverty
June Henderson I don't view God or any deity like that. Once upon a time youth could be apprenticed at age 14. Modern city youth maybe sophisticated with technology, and all the material things they acquire/desire even though their families may not have the finances. The Amish are not perfect, but in regards to practical self-reliance and interdependence they have it down. The youth by the time they are 18 can build and fix anything in a home, the young women can run a household efficiently.
SkyGemini the closest I got was when me and my mom did a spa night, but we both helped each other it wasn’t just my mom doing things for me and she gave apple juice instead of tea lmao
@@JSkyGemini Never in my house, I was always the one making cups of tea for my parents :) And doing dishes, mowing the lawn and painting the fence. Didn't have to do the laundry though.
Johnathan and Marietta are so cute! That fishing trip, I feel, gave them a glimpse of what a fishing trip with their children would be like. I hope they are blessed with a child.
I believe they have something here. There is very little they have to do in the physical when this economy crashes. The people who live on the grid are going to be in for a shock where is the Amish are already off the grid. God bless them.
+Amanda McDonald Remember that you are woman, that means as ans Amish you will do the same thing everyday - Cleaning house. Id recommend rethinking it.
+Amanda McDonald Me too. Im sick of all th social status, tvs, materializing etc. I just want a peaceful close nit community thats doesn't rely on the things of this world.
for the exceptions of needing to believe in God (I am an atheist) and the fashion I would like this life. Much of technology has stripped away what it is to be a child of this planet, and it is very sad.
This program was well planned, filmed, and produced. Yes it is reality but it evenly lines up the worldly and the amish. Worth the watch. The visitors were gracious. A Christian would see wonderful witness in this show.
Jordan Sutherland You are an idiot child. Watch the show and you will discover the truth. Meanwhile, learn grammar and punctuation. Question marks go at the end of questions. They don't belong at the end of stupid statements.
Mary Smithson Learn to mind your own damn business, and to not go out of your way to be cruel to people for no other reason than that you are ignorant and mean. (Or should I say Deborah? I can't believe that I affected you soooooo much, that you are still lashing out at me after all this time. Makes me feel kinda powerful.)
Mary Smithson and Deborah Derecktor LOL "Jordan" is a "boy name" I'm sorry, Deborah, but you are about 5 decades behind the time.... I know three other females named Jordan, two in their 20's, one in her 30's. Anyway, stop making up all these new accounts and names, pretending not to be you..... its pitiful! Seriously, 14 year old kids do this. I'm sorry that I had such an affect on you that you can't help but lash out at me after all this time... I had no idea that I had so much control over you. You asked my opinion, I gave it, and since then you've been throwing hate at me. I don't understand, and I marvel at how important I've become to you. This is the last time I respond to any of your
***** The Amish have been filmed, of course, but they are not allowed to allow it. They are not allowed to pose for a picture, or to speak on film. They are suppose to walk away. They have been filmed, and pictures have been taken, but this show would have the Church ex communicating them. Look it up.
I've worked with the Amish in Western Missouri and they are different there than these people are. I am not saying the Amish are bad but not all of them are as good as these people.
I have known Amish all my life in Pennsylvania.. I've never met any to be anymore rude than someone in the modern world. They are just people and sometimes have bad days or bad attitudes, but that's normal. The older generations do have a very stand-off approach though because people try to take advantage of them quite often, thinking they are dumb.
Mary Jane Vilanueva Bulahan so do I. I wish when I was young I would have had the chance to learn from them. Instead I had to wait for years to learn on my own. By asking older people that could can and sew to teach me. I love canning and preserving my own food. I’m still learning. Guess you never get to old to learn.
My mom's family were dirt farmers and very poor. She remembers when they got electricity and indoor plumbing. I grew up in the city with many luxuries. The older I get, the more I appreciate the simple pleasures in life- feeling connected to the world by being quiet, noticing sights and sounds of nature, enjoying raising vegetables, home canning, etc. It slows my thoughts and helps me to stay centered/ grounded. I sleep better after a day of working the soil and have learned gratitude for the things I never considered a luxury before. This video is a wonderful reminder of how lucky I am to never want and reminds me that I have more choices and an easier life than my parents, grandparents and other older relatives.. Thanks for the reminders of what's really important in life.
Beautiful. Those kids certainly found out what is really important in life. It's not clothes or makeup or technology. It is family and a sense of belonging. It is the value of work. The feeling of satisfaction of a job well done. Thanks for posting this video. I hope God blesses this family with children. They would be such wonderful parents.
I am only 10minutes in so far but it already looks like they went into this with a great attitude. I was surprised at how they handed over everything over (even the girl with the nose piercing). I will update as I go. I think the comments were to hard on the black girl. She was upfront and honest only in her interviews but throughout this she was very respectful and mindful. I think it did her great to meet the women who at one point left the amish.
Nobody wants to be stuck in the 1800's why would anyone want to live that way when technology has gone a long way you can live a much better easy productive life. These people live this way and isolate themselves from the modern world and are stuck in the 1800's because of their religious beliefs.
yeah, living without tech, lets just forget about how modern medicine saved billions of people and reject it, lets also reject tech that makes our lives better and more convinient. we should go forward, not backwards
This series is wonderful, Amish people helping other "outside" or "English" people to understand what's important in life and that living simply , working hard is actually rewarding! I respect the lifestyles that the Amish live, and wish more people would live like that.
She literally is disgusted at how they do things....yet she chose to do this.. and wait until you see her mom.. who was hoping this trip would ground her daughter more....and she says constantly how she just can't be put in this box and doesn't like it, but doesn't look at it from their view.. they think the same way of how she lives yet they don't belittle her... she is absolutely the worse one out of the 6 and she gets worse every min of following episodes

The Brits stopped the marauding Germans during WW2 yet Boris Johnson couldn't stop a dingy!
i hope they will have a house full of children. they will be great parents
+Loredana Sporeanu Amen!!!!

many blessings for babies! i pray
me too ... hope everything is ok
Ew
That was soooo emotional that he cut his hair for his new friend.. precious
"i don't want a big family. only 5 kids"
😂😂😂😂
+Palmer Llama Here in Pa 5 is not big 8 is about normal.
Dan and Phil are stupid
+Vicwv says the person with Comic Sans as their icon
I am AN ONLY child
Touched my heart. People connected to nature will always be healthy in each aspect of life. Love from Pakistan
God bless you from America.
I absolutely loved this. The teenagers couldn't have been more grateful & humbled. They were amazing.
This kind of life is something that I long for as well.
God please please give them the family they're praying and waiting for places Amen
Faith Naomi I know right. They are soo sweet!
Faith Naomi I too have just sent out a heads up to God, to make sure this lovely couple gets the family they deserve. If anyone would be a wonderful guide to a bunch of children, it’s these two. ❤️
According to a comment above, someone apparently met Jonathan and they were indeed, as of the time of the post, able to have a daughter, so far. God bless 'em!
Faith Naomi May Allah bless them a family
may the lord bless this couple with a child
+Queen Susan 5 children, that is how many he wants
I know it would be a heartache for them. I wonder if they ever did have children.
I think both Charlotte and James were an answer to that prayer.
DP1996 I pray for them to have children. They would make great parents.
I hope the Lord sees fit to bless them with children. They seem like very nice people. Very caring, and even fun. Not stuffy like I had imagined.
What really shocked me was the girl who didn't know how to wash dishes. Me and my six year old do dishes together all the time.
I know right? So strange.
dishwashers exist
She probably grew up with a dishwasher
Epic parental failure!!
Even when I was younger, I preferred doing dishes by hand. I have no idea why but I always have.
I don't think I've ever prayed so hard for someone to have children more than Jonathan and his wife.
humanity at its purest, humble and modest form
The mentoring aspect of family is something that has fallen away for many in the modern world.
So nice to see a positive, uplifting, clean program.
Tricia Mattice BUT Amish don't allow themselves to be videoed ... no pictures of any kind... so this show is FAKE. they're just all actors??????
***** Again, where is the link from the Amish Church supporting this belief of yours? Gullible much that you believe a Reality Show is actually Real?
Jordan Sutherland no he's right they really don't do photo's and video's ect only if not showing their faces but more and more you see it changing but very sad to see it changing so much they have the rules for a reason and some of it can be to defend their ways of living so not every amish gets on camera is a fake they might be on rumspringer where they can be in two worlds theirs and ours.It just depends.
LUCY MALDONADO I' m sorry, but it is against the Church for them to allow pictures or films. PERIOD. there is no "it depends" to the church.
Jory Michelle You are so ignorant.
This is my favorite episode!
Jonathon is so easy going and loving. Jonathon developed a real affection for James, when no one else did.
”Not knowing how to handle a shovel is quite unheard of in the Amish community”
Believe me, I thought it was unheard of in every single country on earth. But I was mistaken.
😂😂😂 same
Hahaha he was so nice about it
She says that the clothes is who she is and that amish community takes her individually
Because society has trained you to be a consumer.. You been brainwashed into thinking that your personality has to be bought.
Great comparison and very true!
Maybe that is the case. But also, if everyone is forced to dress the same, then you do lose a bit of your individuality.
You don't have to buy your personality as you mentioned. But forcing everyone to look the same is not really the answer.
Glad the Amish are happy with thier lifestyle, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
Ok but to be fair clothes also allow you to express yourself in every situation whether you are speaking to the people you’re passing by or not. So, I do agree to an extent what you’re saying... and obviously were trained to think these things have VALUE when they don’t... but I think you’re more thinking about society making us believe we need certain brands of clothes or certain labels to make people think we have some value or level of success. In that case, I agree that that’s totally fabricated (no pun intended lol).
But, in reality, clothes also allow you to express yourself without speaking.
It’s like an art for some of us who are into fashion (I’m not into buying fashion. I’m a designer so I design, make as well as upcycle my own clothes, and also have my own business where I sell my wearable art... I’m not being pompous lol that’s the best category to describe it hahaha). It builds confidence to walk around the mall or wherever and know you’re presenting yourself in the way that you want people to think of you. It doesn’t MATTER but to make like it isn’t a form of expression and is that is solely a lie is a bit silly. It very clearly is a way to express yourself. I know people who only shop at the Salvation Army and never buy anything more than a few dollars.
Why do you think the FIRST thing cults do is make everyone strip and change into the same outfit as everyone else? To remove identity and any feelings of individuality. It’s a manipulation tactic to make them feel like a herd instead of an individual.
Don’t get me wrong, agree to disagree. Just giving my opinion as someone who designs (affordable) clothes 🙂
Spot on
Again I think that comes from a brainwashed idea. That our clothes showcase our personalities. I truly do not think anything that needs to be bought needs to be the way to showcase our individuality. The amish reinforce that.
God bless the Amish couple with 5 Lovely kids
I have a great respect for the Amish and their ways. A strong and courageous people.
SuperSaltydog77 me too
Seeing Jonathan and James is simply precious. I feel like they give each other so much - Jonathan can teach James, while James gets a sort of father figure.
This mini-series is literally the best I have ever watched. I keep coming back to it. It’s my happy place. Whenever I am stressed or lose faith in life, I come back to this series and it makes me happy to see that there really are good, simple, wholesome people in the world.
me too ☺️
James had a sad life in the past Johnathan is a good father figure for him
I don't get why everyone is hating on the British teens. I think they are pretty open minded and accepting of the completely different Amish culture. They are reflecting on their own life and most of them are genuinely interested in learning about the Amish way of life.
Alinastephanie Yes. Although that's true and nice and all, they're still ignorant, immature, and annoying. Our society has been dumbed down and it shows.
@@autumnspring6624 But you can't change 18 years of how they were brought up in 6 weeks. I'm sure this changed how they look at things and act and hopefully makes them a better person. We all can change if we are shown a different way....
The Amish woman teaching the modern girl how to use a washing machine...
A washing machine from her grandmothers day. I bet she never saw one of those before.
I felt sorry for the girl.
Ya not really used one eather
They're teens, they've probably never used a washing machine before hahaha
Those are American style washing machines, they look completely different from British ones.
I was crying when I heard why James was willing to cut his hair. He tired to show respect back to Johnson.
What lovely people the Amish couple are. So kind and patient. I enjoyed watching this.
It was very touching and brought me to tears, when James hugged Johnathan and said, "I wish you were my dad".
i heard “i’ll miss you buddy” but not that..
What a sweet and lovely couple.

The best thing about these shows is seeing how friendships and bonds develop between the people who you'd never suspect. It is beautiful to see love at work that way.
The Amish guy is very wise man.
"I'll give you a worm if you whisper."
Tammy mathis new pick up like at the bar
I’m sure he will !
That made me laugh when he said that to her
I loled at that!!
hahah, I couldn't hear what he said it was so soft spoken
Jonathan and his wife are just lovely, very kind, giving & humble people.
Watching this warms my heart & actually explains their life from a different point of view.
Western Society should stop judging these people because they’re different, but if you watch it’s a SIMPLE, HAPPY & CONTENTED LIFE 🙏🏼
Honestly, the idea of slowing down is kind of appealing. Especially when you are always on the go.
For real.. I like the buggy in the horse because I don't like the speed limit here is too fast so I definitely would probably do really well living in the Amish world..🌏❤
Slowing down? These folks never stop. They work so hard all day long!
@@bethrob7777 exactly that was my first thought.
I agree with the Amish guy when he says that the English teens talk a lot - they don't seem to be able to shut up for even 10 seconds!
When you're constantly yabbering away all day, you never learn to keep quiet for a while and appreciate your surroundings.
I wish i could live in a big farm like this and be as faithful, strict and self-sufficient... like them..
I would enjoy the Amish life. I think being closer to God, would help me with my anxiety. Simple life, so beautiful.
Absolutely right, I was thinking the same thing. Blessings
You could be closer to God anywhere, you acceptance and will could bring you there....
@@claudiasoare9032 You can be close to God if you want. Jesus says in Matthew 15:3 - But he answered and said unto them, Why do you also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
Give your heart life to God, is a personal relationship with Him. You can keep your life away from the practice of the world, He can teach you, without the traditions of men
My husband and I have close Amish friends, who have some of the same problems, anxieties and fears that we do. God can calm an anxious heart, as you draw near to Him through His Son Jesus. Praying that you'll experience His peace 🙏
Me: “yeah I think I could live the Amish life”
Also me: *laying in my bed, watching on my phone with a fan blowing on me while watching TV in my LED light room*
😂💀😭
Oh lord! 😂😂😂 I felt your comment in my soul 🤣🤣🤣
Ngl....I would totally become Amish lol
Lol
I cried though this...I don't know why :( I feel that us living in western society have lost some of the connection to family, the absence of hard work and caring for one another from the heart. I hope to one day live like this at a slower pace and be closer to nature, God and have the comfort of living in a community of like minded people.
I was born in the town just north of this place in Madison Ohio and go there yearly. These Amish has a wonderful cheese factory and it is the best cheeses you ever had. They are really nice peaceful folks. Anyway, they got life figured out quite well. God Bless Them.
I really like the Black Forest cuckoo clocks at that cheese factory
I know this is a really old comment, but have you heard anything about the Guggisberg Chalet In The Valley restaurant? Last time I was there, they were closed and didn’t know if they were going to reopen.
21:25 "I'll give you a worm if you whisper" priceless

TheBomdor g
I read this before it happened with zero context and now I've come up to the scene. Amazing.
the amish seem to be such a ... happy society. its adorable.
This is a real ‘reality show’
This was totally heartfelt and addressed so many important themes: family, community, respect, the land, men being men and women being women.
The best part was the victory at the end when they got to know each other and were touched by the friendships and commonalities.
This is a truly excellent show.
Well said man!
@@Grateful4god1 why thank you!
Oh I just love this couple. They’re so sweet.
LOVE Johnathan and James relationship :) Warmed my heart. God bless all of them
😢 I hope the gorgeous natured Johnathan was able to have children with his wife. He bought out a soft caring gentle side of the kid.
"It's gonna be hard washing dishes everyday. You have one for the bubbles then you have a second one to get the bubbles off and then you have to dry it..." um, yeah, that's quirky little ritual called washing dishes.
Lol
Yep, that’s how it’s done.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shannon Gasparatto iOS pop
We're one of the only families who still doesn't have a dishwasher.
Actually, let me reiterate: we have human dishwashers, no mechanical kind.
How dare something i just clicked on for the heck of it make me cry like this!
Kinda wish Jonathan could live their with them, instead of always being by himself :(
the simplicities of life are so beautiful. we spend ours days trying to make life easier and end up with complexity and grief. we miss out on the trueness of life altogether completely.
That was truly well said!
lol the amish dad is adorable
These people have genuine love , contentment and have peace of mind in life.
I would love to stay with the Amish for a few weeks to learn about them. Thank y'all for inviting them to stay with yall to learn new things in life. Much love to you and your family from Anniston Alabama
This makes me smile. No fighting, all peace with the Lord. Wish our modern world would get along like this.
Awe, it was very touching . :)
At first, I really thought that those teenager weren't going to partisapate in anything but they did. They really respect the Amish people.
yangdeb Awe? Did you misspell or was that on purpose?
Samuel Loshark -- --Here a quote you should read: "I see your grammatical errors. I will not correct or ask you beacuse i know what you meant." Julia Tuner
yangdeb
So did you misspell the word or was that on purpose?
its what ever you think. =)
The one girl really did not know how to do dishes??? Now, I don't think kids should be treated as slaves, but by God Almighty what good do parents think they are doing for their children by not teaching them basic life skills??? Spoiling them so much? It's really a disservice to the kids. It's a good thing for some of these kids to have done this!
+TiGi I'm 18 & never did dishes or any housework. I don't see anything wrong with having maids do the chores
She seemed so spaced and lazy. Hope she knows how to balance a budget and other life skills.
TiGi: Everything you said is good and valuable. EXCEPT casual and not respectful in your use of God's name. So that's an item YOU need to learn.
Lol, i hope you're not serious
I know some people who don't even know how to turn on an oven. How are they supposed to go into adult life if their parents don't teach them basic skills?
This was one of the most amazing things I have seen in a long while. I believe these teens lives will truly be changed by this experience and the people who provided it to them.
"The best England has to offer" must have been a tongue-in-cheek statement.
I've admired amish my whole life
You're so full of shit
Mercedes Adler who hurt u ? Why do u have to be this negative
The amish have a strength in them. God bless them.
The Girls look really amazing in plain dresses it really shows their natural beauty. I would simply love to spend 5 weeks with the Amish really. I love their plain lifestyle and everything, and I'd really like to strengthen my faith. I wouldn't mind washing dishes day in day out if I could live with the Amish. I love cooking too!
Aw I hope they're able to have kids :(
I don’t know why but every time I watch a series on the Amish, I feel as though God is calling me to convert.
Wanna know whats crazy? Im a born again christain and I’m moving to Lancaster Pennsylvania next month, there’s Amish housing community’s surrounding my house I’ll be moving too. I do dress modest with skirts and dresses to the knees or longer. But everything about the Amish I love. I feel like God is calling me to join the Amish. I’ve been so interested since I’m also moving there.
Same
The amish people are just blessed I feel you guys ain,t missing nothing outside in this evil world.as long as the amish people keep your faith in Jesus. God bless the amish people.
Technology has created so much convenience, and yet there seems to be an aimlessness in the youth with each succeeding generation. There is an emptiness within themselves which they try to fill in with constant chatter through social media. There is no purposeful activity. I feel youth ages 12-and up ought to be allowed to work for example 3 hours 1x a week at a local bookstore and earn money. Cooped up in school, studying tests, more homework, just hanging with their age peers what are they learning. Once upon a time in the previous generations youth worked along side adults.
Apprenticeships ought to be brought back. Not everyone is meant for university.
Venabame b You seem to be kind oblivious to the fact that apprenticeships still exist very much. People apprentice with the "masters" of whatever they are learning all the time. They never went away.
Venabame b I feel from our kids they are actually aching for some work, I totally agree :-).
it's nice for Amish to give up for GOD but do you realythink GOD. wants us. to humiliate yourself. to. show you. love the Lord. this gives others. the idea that GOD wants us to live. like. slaves. with no electric. or. ?????? things. we need. and not too many. want to be. by a forcefull GOD. who would. let people forse themselfs. to live in poverty
June Henderson I don't view God or any deity like that. Once upon a time youth could be apprenticed at age 14. Modern city youth maybe sophisticated with technology, and all the material things they acquire/desire even though their families may not have the finances. The Amish are not perfect, but in regards to practical self-reliance and interdependence they have it down. The youth by the time they are 18 can build and fix anything in a home, the young women can run a household efficiently.
Yes. And somebody just likes such a life style. They do leave it, if they don´t.
She must be really spoiled if washing up after dinner if a major chore.
A W really. I have washed dishes before (not saying I enjoy it lol) but I know how 😂
When was the last time you were a teen and your mom brought you tea and put varnish on your nails?
In my house that happened like, Never.
SkyGemini the closest I got was when me and my mom did a spa night, but we both helped each other it wasn’t just my mom doing things for me and she gave apple juice instead of tea lmao
I don’t know! I do all of the chores in my home and I’d rather scrub all the tile grout than do dishes lol. I simply despise the task.
@@JSkyGemini Never in my house, I was always the one making cups of tea for my parents :) And doing dishes, mowing the lawn and painting the fence. Didn't have to do the laundry though.
Johnathan and Marietta are so cute! That fishing trip, I feel, gave them a glimpse of what a fishing trip with their children would be like. I hope they are blessed with a child.
This is such a heartwarming series. This Amish couple are lovely.
Their lifestyle is absolutely beautiful; close to nature, close to God, with a life of simplicity and decency.
I believe they have something here. There is very little they have to do in the physical when this economy crashes. The people who live on the grid are going to be in for a shock where is the Amish are already off the grid. God bless them.
House Mouse Amish have guns
When this economy crashes...! WHAT is with this WHEN?? You sound like a doomsday prophet.
I wouldn't mind the Amish life. nature is more beautiful than a selfie..
+Fatimah Hendawy
so you get rid of one hell and marry another hell
they're usually more strict than this
+Amanda McDonald Remember that you are woman, that means as ans Amish you will do the same thing everyday - Cleaning house. Id recommend rethinking it.
+Amanda McDonald Me too. Im sick of all th social status, tvs, materializing etc. I just want a peaceful close nit community thats doesn't rely on the things of this world.
for the exceptions of needing to believe in God (I am an atheist) and the fashion I would like this life. Much of technology has stripped away what it is to be a child of this planet, and it is very sad.
The host and hostess are such a lovely and hospitable couple. God bless them.
"The best Britain has to offer"
*Doesn't even know how to hold a shovel, wash a plate, or read a book*
Yeah, Britain's doing really well.
You'r right completly!!
James is a great guy... he just needed a nudge.
Haha pretty sure there was a touch of sarcasm in that line
Emma Bradley yes, that’s a shame. We have spoiled kids in U. S. too. But us parents allow this
Well America is not far behind regarding your comment. Just think of that President they have, with an IQ not much higher then a burned toast.
This program was well planned, filmed, and produced. Yes it is reality but it evenly lines up the worldly and the amish. Worth the watch. The visitors were gracious. A Christian would see wonderful witness in this show.
NJ Valueinvestor BUT, Amish don't allow themselves to be videoed ... no pictures of any kind... so this show is FAKE. they're just all actors??????
Jordan Sutherland You are an idiot child. Watch the show and you will discover the truth. Meanwhile, learn grammar and punctuation. Question marks go at the end of questions. They don't belong at the end of stupid statements.
Mary Smithson Learn to mind your own damn business, and to not go out of your way to be cruel to people for no other reason than that you are ignorant and mean. (Or should I say Deborah? I can't believe that I affected you soooooo much, that you are still lashing out at me after all this time. Makes me feel kinda powerful.)
Mary Smithson and Deborah Derecktor
LOL "Jordan" is a "boy name" I'm sorry, Deborah, but you are about 5 decades behind the time.... I know three other females named Jordan, two in their 20's, one in her 30's.
Anyway, stop making up all these new accounts and names, pretending not to be you..... its pitiful!
Seriously, 14 year old kids do this.
I'm sorry that I had such an affect on you that you can't help but lash out at me after all this time... I had no idea that I had so much control over you.
You asked my opinion, I gave it, and since then you've been throwing hate at me. I don't understand, and I marvel at how important I've become to you.
This is the last time I respond to any of your
***** The Amish have been filmed, of course, but they are not allowed to allow it. They are not allowed to pose for a picture, or to speak on film. They are suppose to walk away.
They have been filmed, and pictures have been taken, but this show would have the Church ex communicating them. Look it up.
The Amish show us rightly that all we really need in life is a sense of belonging in a community that truly cares. God bless the Amish people.
You need to realize the Amish don’t believe believing in God is your salvation, works are😢
I felt embarassed when they started laughing at the way they were dressed
It's just fun. Don't be too serious. It's different and funny
Such a heartwarming documentary.
I've worked with the Amish in Western Missouri and they are different there than these people are. I am not saying the Amish are bad but not all of them are as good as these people.
All of the women I've met are sweet as pie, but the men are odd
I have known Amish all my life in Pennsylvania.. I've never met any to be anymore rude than someone in the modern world. They are just people and sometimes have bad days or bad attitudes, but that's normal. The older generations do have a very stand-off approach though because people try to take advantage of them quite often, thinking they are dumb.
marietta’s voice is so calming woah
I love the simple rural and devoted Christian life of the Amish people.
Mary Jane Vilanueva Bulahan so do I. I wish when I was young I would have had the chance to learn from them. Instead I had to wait for years to learn on my own. By asking older people that could can and sew to teach me. I love canning and preserving my own food. I’m still learning. Guess you never get to old to learn.
My mom's family were dirt farmers and very poor. She remembers when they got electricity and indoor plumbing. I grew up in the city with many luxuries. The older I get, the more I appreciate the simple pleasures in life- feeling connected to the world by being quiet, noticing sights and sounds of nature, enjoying raising vegetables, home canning, etc. It slows my thoughts and helps me to stay centered/ grounded. I sleep better after a day of working the soil and have learned gratitude for the things I never considered a luxury before. This video is a wonderful reminder of how lucky I am to never want and reminds me that I have more choices and an easier life than my parents, grandparents and other older relatives.. Thanks for the reminders of what's really important in life.
Beautiful. Those kids certainly found out what is really important in life. It's not clothes or makeup or technology. It is family and a sense of belonging. It is the value of work. The feeling of satisfaction of a job well done. Thanks for posting this video. I hope God blesses this family with children. They would be such wonderful parents.
I would love to live with the Amish!
As a Christian I believe this is how God intended for us to live.
I agre with you
Scientific stagnation, agrarian lifestile, traditional gender roles, huge set of weird rules and rituals, lots of polemics, are you still sure?
No you wouldnt !!!!
Control, control, control !!!
I was a mennonite....control, control, control !!!!!!
Vitmar Tobby yeah, I‘m pretty sure that‘s the intention of the bible authors.
@Siebenstern huh? 🙄
Such beautiful people. I sincerely hope their wish for children came true, i have never seen a couple wo would make better parents
MsJGingerbread I know right. They are soo sweet!
I am only 10minutes in so far but it already looks like they went into this with a great attitude. I was surprised at how they handed over everything over (even the girl with the nose piercing). I will update as I go.
I think the comments were to hard on the black girl. She was upfront and honest only in her interviews but throughout this she was very respectful and mindful. I think it did her great to meet the women who at one point left the amish.
Life can be real simple if everyone live this way.
I would live like the Amish. Except I'd have a laptop and electricity.
No lmao
Except no one wants to live like the early 1900’s...
Nobody wants to be stuck in the 1800's why would anyone want to live that way when technology has gone a long way you can live a much better easy productive life. These people live this way and isolate themselves from the modern world and are stuck in the 1800's because of their religious beliefs.
yeah, living without tech, lets just forget about how modern medicine saved billions of people and reject it, lets also reject tech that makes our lives better and more convinient. we should go forward, not backwards
This series is wonderful, Amish people helping other "outside" or "English" people to understand what's important in life and that living simply , working hard is actually rewarding! I respect the lifestyles that the Amish live, and wish more people would live like that.
The one girl seemed a little self absorbed. She never really appreciate them and their way of life.
Shes actually the most negative, arrogant ,disrespectful noisy and annoying .
The black girl
And I'd like to say that girl gets better.... but she doesnt.. in parts 2 thru most of 6 she gets even worse...
She literally is disgusted at how they do things....yet she chose to do this.. and wait until you see her mom.. who was hoping this trip would ground her daughter more....and she says constantly how she just can't be put in this box and doesn't like it, but doesn't look at it from their view.. they think the same way of how she lives yet they don't belittle her... she is absolutely the worse one out of the 6 and she gets worse every min of following episodes
When I was like 12 I really wished I was Amish. I still kinda do
Lynne Ayling. me too
Me too.
Don't wish for that, but there is a way to become Amish.
No you don't.
Apparently you can go ask to join but its extremely hard to br accepted as the outsiders can bring a lot of taint from the world of sin I guess
