Living With The Amish 🇺🇸

Deep in the countryside of Kentucky is a thriving Amish and Mennonite world. A place that feels removed from America, where time slows down and things are done traditionally. Join me and non-Amish local Steven Haste who dives us into the local culture and explains why he prefers to live in an Amish/Mennonite community vs. the outside world.

    I live in Morgan County, KY about a hundred miles east of Casey County. When we were hit by a devastating tornado in 2012, our Mennonite neighbors stepped up to help in a major way. I personally had a group of Mennonites show up to help clear my lot of debris so I could rebuild. They also rented heavy equipment and dredged our creek to get the debris out. And they did the same for every neighbor who had damage. They are the best neighbors a person could want.

    Ive lived amonsgt a bunch of them in BC Canada and i can agree with you. People that rush to judge their way of life simply haven't known enough of them well enough. They want their 8 year old to be quiet in front of a TV, while they are whining about child abuse in some of these communities and cant understand why other countries are doing better lately. Well the 7 year old in Vietnam is running the cash register at their parents' store, what have you been teaching your child?

He is sincere, innocent, and pure. Definitely a mindset to emulate and be envious of. Please create a weekly Titus show. Bless you, Titus. And Peter, you make the world a better place, in a very significant way.

I'm an atheist, but an atheist who is _very_ open to having my mind changed. I donated to his gofundme and I *fully* intend on visiting the church to sit in on one of his services one day! If anyone can change my mind, it would be Titus. Love everything you're doing, Peter! And hope to continue to see a lot more Titus in the future!! ❤

    Your comment is very enlightening. My wife and I try to be very traditional and biblical like Titus, yet people in my general denomination (SDA, which Titus loosely identifies with as well) tell us that we should not dress that way because we would look too much like the Amish and turn people away. I think Titus is distinct in that he is authentic and biblical and yet does not act pushy as some very religious (but not spiritual) people do.

    Oh, I totally agree! 😌🌿 There's something incredibly serene about observing life in the Amish territory through these videos. It's as if time slows down, and you can fully appreciate the simple and harmonious connection with nature. 🍃✨ It feels like a much-needed break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. 🌻💆‍♀ Embracing this peaceful atmosphere is like diving into a refreshing, stress-free meditation session. 🧘‍♀💫

My life experience was shaped by New York City and Los Angeles, period. It wasn't until I moved to Las Vegas that I was exposed to how everyone else lived and viewed the world. Some might say "Las Vegas isn't the Midwest!" or it isn't indicative of life away from the coasts - believe me, walk five blocks east or west of The Strip, out into the neighborhoods of Las Vegas and it's as real as any other town or city outside of the coasts.

Flyover states are full of excellent people in the rural areas. The amish I grew up around we're all very kind and willing to help you at any time.

    In theory that sounds nice. In reality that is not what is happening - Abuse is hidden, it is very hard for the kids to break out and choose another life style, hell they are so isolated they cannot even SEE there is another reality than the one their parents chose and force-chose for them. You don't own your kids, you caretake and guard them till they are adult and then they must be ready for society, all of it, that is the point of parenting, not to get farming slaves. Just 8 grades of classes means you are doomed to do hard labor for life with no social movement possible without extreme work ahead of them. It's a cult that guards their own part of a world, which is fine if its just you but IS child abuse if you deny your children a future with an actual choice for them.

    @@barath4545 100%, but that sort of abuse is literally, everywhere in the USA right now and has been for a long time. Tens of thousands of kids across the country, never finish school, because their parents are absent in their duties, but that doesn't mean all is bad here. Take Titus for example, he helps his neighbors, his neighbors help him, the guy with the barn, it was back up in days, here in California, that would take years and hundreds of thousands of dollars and likely, not one neighbor would help in the build. Yes, bad is everywhere, it was mentioned in this video, but, don't stain the entire community on the actions of the few. This is how the majority choose to live, if not, it wouldn't still be a thing. Focusing on the bad is what is getting this country where it is today, there is far more good than bad, but we just love our Doom Loops. And, to say they are solely relegated to a life of hard labor on an 8th grade education is just baseless and sounds really biased and unthoughtful. Remember the guy mentioning one who became an Engineer? School is meant to give you a base, higher education doesn't necessarily have to be at a college.

    ​​@@barath4545there's good and bad and both of you have valid points. I dont think its beneficial to point to the outliers though. Is getting 6 figures in debt by continuing post secondary educatuon the right way? Lots of people would say no. If you know what you need to know to be competant by grade 8 and get out and work to help your family, is it really wiser to stay in school and then go to work for 50hrs for a salary to make somebody else's family wealthy? Not everything needs to feed an industry and if you arent in a large amount of debt, how much money do you really need?

    If you've ever been to an auction full of used up, sick, broken, and then discarded cart and draft horses headed to slaughter in Canada or Mexico, you might not think so highly of how Amish treat their work animals. What an egregious, undignified, and cold-hearted ending for the animals that have served you for so long and so well.

    Same happens to race and show horses too. In fact, they're sold to slaughter but then shipped to mexico and Canada by a third party to be sold as horsemeat for human consumption. Its illegal in the US, that's why so many end up in mexico over the border. If you knew the number of dogs and cats euthanized , you wouldn't be surprised at the horses they sell off for the same purpose.

    @@surferrosa8392 I think folks just don't realize how many Amish treat their horses like farm implements. Use 'em, give 'em a little grease once in a while, and then drive 'em like they stole 'em. Very *not* Christian. Instead of saying, "Well done, good and faithful servant" (bible verse) after a long hard life of work, the Amish sell their broken bodies to get shipped on a cramped trailer to a horrific ending...all so the farmer can get the last $200-$500 out of them after a lifetime of good and faithful service.

    These are the 7 signs you're in a cult... most of these follow this or any other religion 1. Opposing critical thinking 2. Isolating members and penalizing them for leaving 3. Emphasizing special doctrines outside scripture 4. Seeking inappropriate loyalty to their leaders 5. Dishonoring the family unit 6. Crossing Biblical boundaries of behavior (versus sexual purity and personal ownership) 7. Separation from the Church
