Answering Your Assumptions About Mennonites 

I htink Mennonites are more than a religion...they are a closed culture, cultlike, with rigid, oppressive rules. For some people, I guess, living like that provides a sense of security. Life for them is simple, planned out by others, the rules are finite, not much room for imagination or ideas that don't fit with the official catechism.

I love it too. So interesting learning about other cultures.

I also have no idea how this channel got into my feed, but I really enjoyed listening to you and learning about Mennonits. I grew up in and still attend an a capella church and love how beautiful it can be too. Thanks for sharing. I'm subscribing to your channel.

@@AmySacher omg MENINGITIS

@@heyyhellohannah lol, auto correction is killer on the phone. I'm so busted on typing and not reading what I typed.

Hello ....my name used to be Joan Fox !!!!

Same 🙋🏻‍♀️

@Jule Ktb You were thinking of the actress, weren't you?

Same; there's only One Meghan Foz

Right 🤣🤣

I feel like everyone can be a good citizen, help others, and do good works while still allowing women to have personal identity and lead..

You described Jesus. Definition of a Christian. Follower of Jesus.

No such thing.

With their Drug smuggling business

Most religions do have some form of law/rule of being a god citizen, but it’s normally one or two rules

Minus the pickled carrots, same!

Ditto pickled asparagus.

I'm atheist too, but I like sewing :D I got here though her sewing videos:))

Same here re; 1 & 2.

I thought only my cat was stupid enough to chew on a cactus.

Hi, Im African American and my husband is Mexican. We sell at a outdoor swap meet on the weekends. Every once in a while I notice three Mennonite couples walking around passing the day. The women were dresses modestly and the men were wearing the half beards. One particular saturday I had gotten enough nerve to say hello to one of the women,we stroke up a conversation. Such nice ladies! after talking for at least ten minutes they had to go. But before leaving one of the men said "you are absolutely invited to come to our church, do you need a ride"? They left me with a happy feeling, and a urgency to get things done! don't be lazy. I will never forget that "outsiders" are welcome in such a tight knit community never be afraid of the lord.

Oh my gosh, I’m from Franklin County too!

I'm in Crawford county pa and I am a liberal mennonite. :)

Hiya! I’m from Fulton County!😊

So am I ! ☺️

I m going to tell you about the Catholic Church because it is the only way to Jesus. please come.

@@Lillie_Jr. The Catholic church is a false pagan religion. You will not find the true Christ in it.

@@Lillie_Jr. the only way to jesus and ask forgiveness is through jesus not a priest. I am Christian too a born again.

I'm not a mennonite. bur I am a born again Christian really enjoyed your vedio. loved seeing you as a Christian out in the open. like me. i learned so much more about the mennonites .

@@leahjames6870 i agree I'm a born again Christian. i go to jesus and him to for glibness

Mennonites are Christians, so yes, more alike than different. :D

@BibleStudy888YT I see what you mean. I grew up in a Mennonite school and faith and following Christ was the center of our education. :)

That one Girl that’s actually not true. Many Christian churches do not allow women to pastor churches. If you follow the Bible it does speak specificities to a woman’s role. Be careful not to confuse modern culture with Biblical principles. Mennonite women are not being forced to do something that they don’t want to do, they are freely aligning themselves with their faith, there is a big difference between the two.

That one Girl just because it’s not your experience doesn’t mean it isn’t true - you can’t blanket statement like that.

@@thatonegirl4631 there are verses in the bible that talk about women not speaking in church (I think it's in 1 Corinthians), just most denominations don't follow those rules. I personally dont follow those rules because I believe Paul was speaking more to that specific church and culture but some people believe that everyone has to follow what Paul wrote. It's all about interpretation. Ultimately, believing that *Jesus Christ is Lord and that he died for our sins and was resurrected is what makes somebody Christian* so most Mennonites are Christian even if they don't hold the exact same beliefs as you :)

Beautiful! Just the way God wants us to be. Helping ones in need. 😍

That’s really awesome! I worked for and lived in a Ronald McDonald House for 3 years. We don’t have an abundance of Mennonite families where I am from but there were so many groups from all walks of life that would come cook for the families staying there.

No I’ve been there too. It’s for children or families of children who spend time in the hospital. Gives parents a place to stay close to the hospital for free.

Same, people are often shocked to find out I’m orthodox Jewish when they find out I’m queer. It just seems incompatible in their heads.

Does he work for a living? Or is he a typical lazy pastor who lives off others? Jesus and Apostle Paul supported themselves.

Your last comment is probably one of the best compliments that any Christian could ever receive. May the G_d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob shine light on your path. Blessings to you.

Midwestern Leah disavow

I agree - I was thinking that too that in the Christian circle they would be similar to orthodoxy in Judaism (from a secular Jewish person 🙋🏼‍♀️)

Hi Leah Me too

You are not the only one:)

I think she said supper.

@@theravyshow2570 opps, fixed it :)

I had the same thought! 🤣

Love how you share your faith!

I carefully listened and found no pillars or absolutes which define Mennonites. Basically anything goes, but it depends on the preachers? Yes or no to alcohol, yes or no to color, yes or no to hair up or down, etc. Where are the pillars?

Elisha 🤣

I want to know too!

It's popular with home decor right now.

@@mandykelly6704- so hide the most interesting part of books for the least interesting visually. Got it. I liked the color grouping trend better.

Jen Segrest lol, ya I don't normally love it. But I think here it looks pretty cute. That one lady on HGTV does it a lot... Genevieve something is her name.

The truth. There is no such thing as your truth. It's either true or false regardless of if you believe it.

unleashthebeast95 I’m in the same boat as you. Megan seems very sweet.

Same here. She is a delight. The world would be a better place with more people like her!

@@emilysha418 more women that don't think women should take leadership roles? or was that satire?

@@breakbreakbreakbreakbreak Motherhood is the most important leadership role on the planet. That's why the powers that be encourage families to allow the government to take over the role of parenthood altogether.

@@idepartasair So true.

Stevie Ferrari as a Pentecostal/nondenominational Christian, the world need more people like you with open minded people❤️ thank you for your kindness!

Love this ❤️

I love this. We need more people in the world like you. I wish you all good things.

Kyley Green what do you think of Catholics like me Papsits Idol worshippers?

i'm so sorry about this pleas come to the Catholic Church which will give you purpose and beauty in a life of sin

the bible does not say you get into heaven by Good works, it's building and having a relationship with Jesus Christ is what gets you into heaven, you leave your old sinful life to start a brand new one with Jesus, by not living the life in the world that you lived before

@@marielagregory1217 Ephesians 2:10

Also a Catholic here. I don't understand these different protestant concepts and rules of etiquette. As far as I can see, if you are living a Christian life, you will naturally be doing good works and His Divine Mercy assures us of good things to come. No questions asked.

As a former Catholic, may I suggest studying the bible with a clear mind, removing anything that you have been taught. I'm not picking on Catholics by this suggestion. Many denominations are way off scripture.

@@marysmith7792 may I suggest to you to clear your mind of any teaching and study the bible for yourself? My eyes have been opened as I heard this suggestion a year ago. I'm a former Catholic and I've been to Baptist, assembly of God, non denominational etc. I'm on here researching the Mennonite beliefs. After hearing this young lady, I'm definitely interested, if they observe the Sabbath.

Yes! I miss the 4part harmony singing that used to be so common. I grew up with 13 siblings and I miss the singing we used to do together

I heard someone addressing this issue. they were actually chastising a group of people, and they said, "You were too busy putting culture, over kingdom." I was like wow, perfectly said. Sounds like this lady has her priorities straight, she puts kingdom over culture. 👍

🙄

"Christian" is very vague. Some people believe Christ is God, other believe Christ is God's son. The core of the entire religion, the reason for worship is completely different.

their conservative lifestyle will pay off on judgement day

@Laura White demonization really isn't important. What is important is that they recognize Jesus is the the way the truth the life and recognize the gifts of the spirit and that God the Father God the Son AND the Holy spirit are one. The pastor speaks the truth and encourages you to read your Bible for yourself. The Holy Spirit will tell you if youre in the wrong place and not where He wants you to be. If you seek God to know Him personally the Holy spirit will guide you and walk you through.

That sounds like fun!

There's a great cookbook out called the Mennonite Community Cookbook. Lots of great recipes. You can find it online at Amazon. I have a spiral bound copy I found years ago that's really worn but I still use it.

@@Margar02 the f

I second this! I would love to watch a tutorial on their recipes!

@@christinaburke2461 that is my favorite cookbook... my grandma was mennonite and that is the only book I use

I find other religions so fascinating!

Yes, well said✨ Learning more about God and Jesus has been great inspiration for me to live more generously.

JurneesMom Mennonites are Christians...

@EnnuiVision you poor thing. Love you in Christ. Peace be with you.

d7j6f1001 Rae I am just curious why you felt the need to put a video link of a video depicting another person’s sin (within Megan’s same religion). Megan’s channel is quite interesting to watch of her sharing her heart and specifics of her faith. I am not Mennonite, so she is teaching me quite a bit. The people doing drug smuggling in the video you posted were in the wrong 100% and were sinning. I am pretty sure Megan had nothing to do with it and your post suggests that this is commonplace within the Mennonite community. This is an isolated incident and not common for people of this faith to do this. There are people of all religions who are what I call “bad people”. The choices made by a few “bad people” does not then make the whole religion “bad”. Look at what has been exposed to the world from the catholic church. It is horrible and evil to harm a child. That does not now mean that all catholic priests are bad and that the religion is any less important to those who hold it dear to their hearts. Yes, the few that are the evil sinners do make the whole religion look like it needs some work on it’s leadership, but all in all, the core of the faith is Jesus Christ and salvation by excepting Jesus as the Lord of our lives. Those who harms others and broke the law should be punished and punished harshly for their actions. However, you posting a video of Mennonite people sinning is somewhat of a poke to Megan that Mennonites are not who they say they are. I am not Mennonite, but I admire Megan for sharing the assumptions about her faith and sharing her heart on her personal life decisions and beliefs. I have a lot of respect for her and her faith. When I saw the video you posted, I saw it as both rude and a poke at Megan’s faith. My point is that there are evil people who make horrible decisions within all religions and those who have no religion. The illegal smuggling is sin and the Bible talks about that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). The best part of this story is that Jesus died on the cross so that all of us sinners can ask forgiveness from God and be forgiven. Even the Mennonites who did drug smuggling. It is our jobs, as believers in Christ, to turn away from sin and follow Christ so that we may spend eternity in heaven once we pass away. Megan, you are doing a great job with your channel. I recently found you and subscribed. Thank you for educating us on your faith. I have learned a lot.

John 6:28 ¶ Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.

Hello, I'm not sure how I came across your channel but I absolutely adore you! Thank you for sharing yourself and your culture. You did amazing with the questions znd assumptions. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos!

Hey I'm Apostolic Pentecostal too! I'm from Ohio

What bible do you read James is in the new testiment matthew mark luke John acts romans 1&2 corinthians ephisans phillipians 1&2 thessolonians colossians timothy titus philemans hebrews James 1,2,3 John jude revelations . My bible is a KING JAMES VERSION

Yup, but it doesn't change the fact Salvation is free. Salvation is free, the growth in Christ is not. The dead faith is when you stop growing and there no good fruits in your life anymore.
