What's been the most surprising aspect for me making this series is learning that there are many different types of Amish people with different beliefs and different lifestyles. We, outsiders, tend to put one label on the Amish but as with most things, it's more complex than that. Here is an oversimplified list of different types of Amish I met while in Holmes County, Ohio: -SWARTZENTRUBER (the Amish in this video. The most conservative and most removed from the modern world). -DAN AMISH (somewhat removed from everybody else, conservative). -OLD-ORDER AMISH (can't drive vehicles but some of them can ride as passengers, only have steel wheels on their carriages, not rubber. Allow Rumspringer--their youth to explore the world and "try things out"). -NEW-ORDER AMISH (Broke away from the Old Order Amish. Less conservative than Old Order, but more conservative in the sense that they don't promote Rumspringer, they use rubber on their carriage wheels, use more modern sliding doors on their carriages, some have phones. -BEACHY AMISH (The most accepting of the modern world and the closest to the most conservative Mennonites). If you want to see the other end of the Amish spectrum, the Beachy Amish, check out my last video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EgY1SVXiBrU.html Also, I have a lot more Amish content coming and the next one will drop Wednesday followed by Sunday. I'll be doing 2x a week Amish videos for the next couple of weeks. Enjoy! Watching the Amish definitely has a relaxing effect :)

I grew up in an area with Amish and Mennonite people. My mom purchased milk and butter from the Amish. I can still remember the clop, clop of the horse’s hooves when we had a delivery. Mennonites had cars and electricity, and were super nice people. The Amish were more reserved, but also really nice people. I was a young boy, and it was just after the end of WWII. Both the Amish and Mennonites were very helpful to us, as I remember.

We live near Heuvelton NY, which has a large population Swartzentruber residents. Since we moved here 20 years ago, we've seen a definite increase in Amish in the area. There were many farm stands for years, but a good percentage of the families have turned to building sheds, homes, and furniture. On my way to work, I loved seeing the children headed to their school, and when I waved, they would all wave back. Many of the older English farmers aren't happy when the Amish buy local farms because it raises the value of their property, which causes an increase in taxes. Of course, their taxes should have been adjusted years ago, but that doesn't happen as often as it should in rural areas. I'm happy to see their communities expanding throughout St. Lawrence County. The clopping of horse hooves by my home always makes me smile.

My grandmother grew up in a house like this, her family wasn't amish but they lived in Amish country and the Amish built the home for them since my great grandmother was a single mother. When I was around 9-10 years old we drove over there and there was an Amish family living in the house, we got to sit and talk with them for a few hours, they were super hospitable. Literally walked up to the house, my mom said "My mom grew up in this house" and they immediately invited us in. I remember the children all sitting on one side of the room while the adults talked and I was old enough to understand who they were but not old enough to understand the depth of how they live, so it was a shock with the kids all being so reserved and quiet. Really cool experience! They sent us home with a fresh jar or sorghum molasses and honey.

They use the Bible as an excuse to exploit the suffering while still "virtue signaling" they're Godly people. Money money money OS their God in this respect too.

@jtjones4081 2 года назад

@Moljo shelters and police don't stack cages on top of each other so the feces from above drops onto the bitches and puppies below. This video I posted is of a better managed mill. The worst are more horrible. In all cases the breeder butch lives her entire life in a wire floored cage. Never experiences love or play. To the Amish she exists for one reason, produce more puppies. I live in thay area. I managed to get 2 abused female Labs away from them bu paying them $400.00 each and i told them No More! I noticed 2 weeks ago there's a new female yellow lab pup, probably 6 months old, just beginning her conpketeky solitary 13 year life of hell just to make the Old Order mennonites living there some cash.

I loved watching them and talking with them. Most will engage with you. Each time we hooked up and left the campground I felt a sense of remorse I guess.

Their ancestry is not Dutch though. Dutch is a corruption of Deutsch - they use a form of High German ('high' being the Alpine mountain region of southern Germany, Switzerland, and Austria). In the 16th century the Anabaptists (Mennonites and Hutterites) started in Switzerland and Austria, then moved east into Moravia (present-day Czechia), next into Ukraine, and finally emigrated to North America. The Amish split from the Mennonites in the late 17th century and they preceded the Mennonites and Hutterites in the US. There is an altogether different group of Mennonites, the Old Colony Mennonites, aka Russian Mennonites, mostly living in Canada, Mexico, and South America who trace their origins to the Netherlands and then they fled to Poland, Ukraine, and Russia. They used a form of Low German, low being the lowlands of northern Germany and Netherlands. They started emigrating from Russia to North America in the late 19th century.

@franzwollang 2 года назад

I sounds like it comes from their speaking of Pennsylvania Dutch at home and learning English as a second language. In German, the word for getting out of bed is "aufstehen" (lit. to stand up) and it's probably the same in their language, so their use of it in English is probably a calque.

@sherryk30 2 года назад

I live about 50mi out of Pittsburgh, PA. That doesn't sound like an area that would be chock-full of Amish, or Mennonite.. but it definitely is. Some of the hardest working, and purest souls I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Their handmade goods are beyond anything you could find in a modern store. Quality craftsmanship that really lasts.. I have a beautiful, hand stitched quilt from an Amish quilter. It is the thinnest, AND the warmest blanket I own. It has the most lovely embroidered flower detailing as well. I've had that quilt since the early to mid 90's, and its still in better shape than the fluffy 'Martha Stewart Living' bed in a bag set I bought 2 years ago. Martha's sweatshops have got nothing on the Amish quilters. My grandmother's close friend was an Amish Matriarch, Margaret Troyer.. My life is more full from getting to know Margaret & her clan. She helped me find my faith again, after the terrible loss & betrayal I felt after Gram passed away suddenly. I never once felt unwelcome, or judged. A truly lovely family.. The Amish, as a whole, are like any other group of people. There are good & not so good, and occasionally a terrible one. But they seem to have way less a-holes per capita than us 'english'. They are definitely more connected to each other and to the land. We could all learn a thing or two from these plain living folks. Especially about personal accountability, and about what being part of a community really means. ❤❤ P.S. I never cared much for pie, not any variety.. till I had homemade amish pies. Its all about the fresh pastry dough. Everything they make is very deliberate, and it shows in the final product..
