hutterites & hutterwrongs ... oppression is the oldest ailment ... baby mills memorably make work more marvelous ... m8

What a terrible thing to do to a chicken lol

Thank you for that. Some people just want to hate. You also sound like the salt of the earth. God bless you and your family, and your neighbors!

Yes they're the few group of people that truly follow the Love thy neighbor philosophy!!!

@@tabaxikhajit4541 Well said.

That is wonderful. I'm sure you were a lasting impression also.

The children look happy and healthy ?

@@lwmaynard5180 Yes, very happy, healthy and beautiful. They have a good life at the colony I taught at.

@@Zippsters üj

They look very clean and healthy but then again I know the effect of a Christian faith and education 🤗

Dr. Brandi Mills are they open to converts?

How fascinating!

omooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmommmmmmmmmmomomooomoo

Hello Dr. Mills, is your research publicly available somewhere? Such an interesting group, I would love to learn more

What a privilege!

Every Christian will one day realize this peace and love in a huge group when we are all together in heaven. My husband and I have this right now. PTL!

No,your calling was for what you did which was very loyal, but I don’t think it would have been a place for eternity for yourself,god bless!

My aunt and cousins buy eggs from their farm in Winnipeg Canada!

Yes I agree with you the world would be a much better place if we would adopt many of these ways of life. Humanity has so much to learn.

The society that we live in change’s from country to country so realistically no one will ever be happy,it’s what you call life!

I went to my uncle's funeral years ago in Canada. My cousin's wanted to go for a drink together. They were in the bar. Surprised me. So...your right... good and bad in all walks of life!!

Thank you for your honest & unbiased perspective. 🫂

I’m so shocked! I wouldn’t have thought such religious folks would steal. It blows my mind!

Yes, good Christians.

Opp

A people doing God's will. God bless them 🙏

Amen!

Yeah, if you're not black, or gay, or just want to make your own decisions!

Thank you. God bless you and yours, Cayla. Yes, this world needs to become more like yours. Lack of love and respect for each other, has made the world a dangerous place. Blessed be ❤️

Brother I can understand your anger but remember there are diligent Christians who are not in your wonderful Hutterite community. You are not the only ones -

Please do explain how the Hutterites Go into all the world and preach the Gospel. Serious question.

@@louisaisthankful6455 Anabaptists preach the gospel through their living. I don't know about you but if I heard someone shouting about Jesus in the street, I'd just keep walking. But the anabaptists are intriguing. They have a more draw you in style. I think it's even more effective. Live it truly, be the real deal, and people will see.

I'm not a Christian at all, i grew up with no religion until i was ready for it, it was not forced upon me like many religious communities do to their children. My faith you would seriously detest unless you were open minded - however, i found almost all Christians to be "holier than thou" which is fine by me as i am not a holy person, i do not however, like to be singled out just because i believe something else than Christians do. I would like to stay with a Hutterite colony for a while and see for myself what it is all about, or the Mennonites or the Amish, i doubt very much i would be welcome or accepted though. I am all for hard work and easy work too :) all for helping out everyone, and all for helping out anyone who needs it on a singular level, like helping a person fix their equipment or haul some items, anyways thanks for your insights here, hopefully i will live with Hutterites for a while.

It truly is a better way

To own nothing, yet have everything you ever need and security as best you can have on this earth.

How do you know it's better? Have you tried it? They don't have a lot of freedom do they?

Ja! So sollte es sein!

…

I wish we could have them as friends or neighbours.....you’re lucky..lol

Intense racial segregation?

Totally in agreement. Totally

Read 1 Kings 19 and Luke 9:28-36 I think it will help you understand where God wants us to stand in this world. You are absolutely right in the fact that yes God is all that matters, this world sucks, and being Christ-like is our calling. But just as we have heard the good news and had our communion restored with God through the blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection, we ought to tell others about God’s grace and faithfulness. Elijah ran away from the sucky world and hid in a cave and God called him out of it because God had work for him in this world. As we are filled with God’s presence, we need to overflow in people’s lives, laying down our lives for them, just as Christ did. Peter, John, and James were taken up to a mountain to pray with Jesus. There they experienced the Glory of God in a way like never before. Their desire was to set up tents and stay there. But God’s presence came down and convicted them that Jesus was His beloved son, who came to accomplish God’s will. They knew that coming down the mountain was necessary, because there was work to do. We are here to do the same. Imagine if Jesus stayed with God and never came down to this sucky world? We would have never have received salvation, our sins wouldn’t have been atoned for. This sucky world needs Jesus and we have the living spirit of God in us. We are the salt and light to the world. We need to proclaim to Gospel. As Jesus himself said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, until the very end of the age.” I think it’s absolutely beautiful that these people are living according to God’s word and close to His presence. But I believe Jesus made it clear that the gospel is not to be kept and sheltered, but to be delivered to all the corners of the earth. We ought to live as Christ did, and be an example to the nations. But that also means going and making disciples, reaching out to those around us, because this broken world is desperate for Jesus. “for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:13-15‬ ‭

@@juliesampaio1062 preach it sister... I'll turn the pages 😷👍

The world is a huge and varied place. Some very good some very bad, the rest okay. I think that it is a shame that you think it is all bad, surely that is just the way that you personally look at it.

Amen!

Amen I'm in this world temporarily but in the kingdom of God I will be eternally.

When was this doc. Made? Curious about the date. Thanks

Colony, the New Word for Cult!! Still the Same Thing!!

@@gailcurl8663 That is an ignorant judgement to make! Have you every been on a colony? Broke bread with the whole colony? Inspected their barns or kitchens? Or even talked to them about life, their life? I think people jump to conclusions when they fear the unknown! Educate yourself in their ways before passing judgement! They are not a cult.

@@gailcurl8663 gail curl, was an old word for dumb and uneducated!! Still is the Same Thing!!

I bet it was a shock going back to public school. The students nowadays are completely out of control, it’s sad that teachers aren’t allowed to discipline anymore.

Check out the videos of Giselle Waldner who documents life in her Hutterite colony - there's much more laughter and joy there.

@@mailill Yeah, I spent most of this video trying to square what I was seeing with Giselle's videos. This one was laying it on thick about sublimation of self in favor of community, and I wonder if that's just a product of the times it was made, trying to portray different people as somehow exotic and "unlike us."

@@sccello Interesting observations, and you are probably right. That being said, with Giselle's videos, I sometimes get the feeling that there are things that are "brushed under the carpet". I am not really sure why I feel that way. Maybe it is just that, even though it iseems so idyllic and ideal in many ways, it is still a "high demand-group" and maybe also a "high control-group" where a small number of men seem to have a lot of power. There is also a video by another youtuber, called "Queer hutterite" where I get the impression that it is very hard if you don't fit in, and that leaving is not easy either. Edit: typos

Well said

Shalom, have you heard of a young RU-vidr named Giselle Waldner, and another one is Adina Walter.

I was surprised to hear Hutterite guys retire from full time labor in their 50s.

@@dst1311 Yes, we were too. My wife and I. By age 45-50 they no longer have to work, but may retire from their positions of employment. I also was very impressed when I heard one of the elders say, "we don't pressure anyone to work harder than they are able to."

@@dst1311 it didn’t actually say that. It said that as a person ages, they are not expected to keep up the heavy load and that there are plenty of young folks to carry the load. I don’t know any “retired” Hutterites! Even to their last days they work as hard as their bodies can tolerate, and it is what they prefer to be doing. One of the worst things to be called is lazy - if not the worst. It would be truly shameful to do literally nothing if you can do anything.

You can join the Bruderhof, also an Anabaptist community like the Hutterites, except that they speak the local language (if you are in the USA, it would be English).

@@patriciacole8773 An Ellen G. White follower. What a surprise. Galatians chapter 3 needs to be REMEMBERED also. Ephesians 2:8-10 helps. Patricia, I don't need to be counseled by a woman. Thanks, but I am not interested in becoming a Seventh Day Adventist Legalist.

Huttorites is the correct spelling of this group of people.

Correction : HUTTERITE is the correct spelling of this group.

still? They are closer to the first century church than those of us on the outside of their community will probably ever be.

@@CindyArchibaldBruni Oh so true. While there's so much mess in Churches these days these guys probably wouldn't tolerate all the things that go on in modern day churches. Shalom Mishpocah.

Aren't all humans children of your gracious Heavenly Father? The use of "still" indicates it takes thought to include them in your view of what God finds acceptable even though they are somewhat different that you and the groups you are included in. That's a bit arrogant and condescending. Perhaps you are the one who should be observed and then considered "still" a child of "Heavenly Father" in spite of your way of life.

Yes! Just like a Colony of Robotic Bees!.

Wish inner cities worked together

@@xoxoxoxoxo7997 Let's just do it ... Many are finding each other inside missing the cohesiveness of community ... my Bet's on we the people coming together in time to redesign the face of all that fails to function in full fair fashion. Press on past the oppressive to blossom in fine fusion. MUSIC FOOD WORK DANCE PLAN PLAN WORSHIP PRAY & PLAY we got this ... if WE build it ... WISELY

It is a lot better than what we see and hear about in most 21 st century societies. Sounds pretty balanced. Not surprising not much in the way of governance roles for females. In those types of communities there isn't a lot of career choice for either gender. They can leave, and some do

One big problem is, if something is found in the Bible that is contrary to Hutterite beliefs (like keeping the 7th day Sabbath), they will be ostracised and perhaps eventually driven off.

the difference is God is in the centre of their society, where in the secular world God is all but obliterated

My husband did a lot of business with the local colonies, and my aunt and uncles were neighbors of a colony. When my husband left the kids and I for another woman, I would come home from work to find several dozen buns, or giant bags of carrots or onions or potatoes on my step. I really appreciated it and it touched me deeply. One day they stopped by with something when I was home. I thanked the elder, who was a Santa bearded sort of looking fellow, I was in my 30's, he took hold of my arm and rubbed it and looked right into my eyes and said, "sometimes a woman needs a little help". I told him nicely, I appreciated the food, but I didn't need any other kind of help. They left, and never dropped off anything again. I was kind of sickened, and heartsick and disappointed. I guess there can be a bad apple in any barrel.

Lol u arent gonn see the reality of child abuse, sexusl abuse and incest

@@alisonmercer5946 Are you saying that those things don't happen in the secular world?

@@alisonmercer5946 why do you laugh at such a thing ? Do you find those disgusting acts funny or what ? Disgusting..shameful

Well said! But witch is very different from which------

Not a documentary but there is a Hutterite RU-vidr that has shared her experience, Giselle Waldner

@@angelicnature oh I love her videos!

I was going to recommend the same!

Probably just lest than 1% mortality rate, like the rest of us.

@@angelicnature lol I was just about to recommend her as well, such an interesting perspective on colony life

That's why many are reported as CULTs .... and some define as cults imeo Community is our tribal heritage ... before the TAX MAN shook the money tree separating you and me to BBB build war famine & fuktories

Many times I have gone to a colony and asked if we could have a tour, they are very eager to show you around. except during church.

i live in montana where there are lots of colonies. there are 2 colonies within 11 miles of me and i've been to 1 of them and enjoyed thier baking and sitting in thier home visiting. they love to share what they have which is mostly freshly grown. they are very clean and hard working and mostly content and happy. i hope you are able to someday visit one of the colonies. stay safe.

Me also. Been through the Dakotas and Montana many times.

I think this emphasis on reward from God for being good detracts from doing good just because it's right. Should we expect a reward for doing what we should do? How can one be kind and generous if the motivation or the expectation is a reward for doing so?

We as followers of Gos are not being " good "for what's in it for us or for " rewards " God in His goodness promises His children heavenly rewards! For their faithfulness! But that's not the motivation! The reason is to follow God with all our hearts in Love! Check out Jesus Job and Abraham! God can also give us tough assignments to follow through on! God isn't Santa ! 🎅 Who gives you every good thing that YOU want! We pass also through good places and hard times serving the Lord! And we know that His love is Eternal and unfailing and He will reward All His Children no matter what they pass through in his world because He SAID that He would Reward Them! Rev 3 " They my children will walk with Me because they are worthy! And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes!"

One word. Brainwashed.

I think the interviewer asks those questions to educate us. Not because he has no understanding of the group

This was filmed in 1984. While you have a good point, I don't think they had the ability to study culture like we do now.

I taught my daughter to respect adults until which time they show they dont deserve it by being abusive or harmful to her. In that case she doesnt have to listen to or comply with them and she has a right to speak back or fight back.

@@sr2291 that is awesome! My parents taught my siblings and I how to respect other people as well.

That all depends on the upbringing!

@@a.w.9662 I guess so

It seems that too many Americans have lost their belief in God in order to "worship" money. Our Country is deteriorating fast. Everyone thinks his/her view is the only one that matters. When in reality people need each other and should be celebrating that. It's all competition in Capitalism.and very little community. Every one out for themselves. Take what you want by any means. It is heartbreaking to live in a society where there is no trust. Where the bullies are allowed to run the Government's. Where there is no equality. Those who only strive for personal power and material wealth must trade in their soul, their self-respect, integrity and honor. They cannot respect others when they have no respect for themselves. Wanting more and never having enough to satisfy them Even though in this way of life is so clearly pointless, no matter how much the have there will always be someone or something more that they covet. There can be no happiness or spiritual reward. I'm so moved by the strength and faith it takes to willingly put the good of all over personal gain. To put God first. The Anabaptist groups, the Amish, Mennonites and Huttorites have this belief in God and community that keeps them separate by choice from the worst inclinations in people. "In the World, but not of it." Gives satisfaction and meaning to their lives. Morality, Compassion and Honor. Everyone is valued. In a word...Love

Do you have experience or are you knowledgeable of others persons being harmed? Any links? Most religions have a dark side. Abuse of power & lack of access to information & help are all too common.

i believe such things are achieveable in our societies too to an extent if you ignore social media, find a good employer and a good social circle

Kelpies are water demons. I don't think they'd appreciate that.
