I'm a Christian and fascinated by this documentary. God has been calling me to simplify my own lifestyle and I think there is a lot to learn here. Personally I'm spending less time watching TV and more time reading and studying Bible and doing useful hobbies like sewing, knitting etc. Their simple uncluttered homes where you can hear a clock ticking and fire crackling seem wonderfully peaceful.

The Amish really LIVE their faith and Biblical beliefs..."love thy neighbor as thyself." They are to be admired.

The Amish are NOT the most empathetic people you will ever meet when it comes to animal welfare. They will take care of their horses and cattle only as much as it takes to keep them working and producing. A buggy horse might be tied up for hours in the hot sun with no shade or water, tormented by flies because the owners won’t put fly spray on them. I’ve never seen my neighbors call a veterinarian. If an animal is sick they usually only try some home remedy. Sometimes it works, usually it doesn’t. That applies mostly to horses, cattle, and other livestock. As for cats and dogs, they are not pets. You’ll never see one inside the home or even in a doghouse and they don’t buy dog/cat food for them. They just wander about the place and are expected to feed themselves on whatever they can scrounge up. They find shelter in whatever place they can, whether it is -20 or 95 outside. The Amish will not interact with them by talking to them (other than an order) or petting them. They are never spayed or neutered so you can expect to see litter after litter running around the barnyard. Very few will survive past a year or two. Some buy a dog from a breeder for varmint control. Those are the puppy mills that others have mentioned. I’ve seen one or two of those mills and I can’t imagine a worse place to live. Great Pyrenees and Australian Shepherds are common varmint dogs. And as for outright cruelty, that’s more common than you might think. I’ve seen Amish beat a recalcitrant horse or dog mercilessly. I once saw our neighbor kids tormenting a small kitten while it cried and cried (I never saw that kitten again).

And you have to follow all the rules of the community and of the bible by heart. Otherwise you have to leave the community.

You just need enough will to do it and a community that will accept you. And about the beast/ anti- Christ: Don't think you could escape the beast...🙈🙈 The beast will try to persecute, imprison, torture and kill every one that believes and that won't submit to it and that won't accept his mark. So the beast will probably immediately try to destroy the most traditional believers like the Amish. But we know that Jesus can raise the dead and give you eternal life. But it will be a very hard time once the Endtimes completely start. We will be persecuted and tortured and mocked just like Jesus was if we don't obey the beast.

I very much enjoy the having Amish in my area. They keep alive everything that is suppose to be great about community living. When I was young so many more people participated in cummunity events and volunteered or supported each other. The Amish still do.

With things going on in the world right now and being in a middle of a reset it is amazing to watch and learn from their lifestyles. Always was fascinated by it but lately even more to be more and more self sufficient.

The Amish culture has to be respected in every sense of the word. They are not caught up in a rat race and live as nature intended us to. They have an extremely low carbon footprint. I think the rest of the world could learn a lot from the Amish communities. I just hope that they can continue to live as they choose. Unfortunately, I think greed from external reasons, will push them out of their way of life. I hope that they will be able to continue their beautiful way of life.

There's a warmth and a soul to every piece that they make, and it's genuinely indescribable. My family has bought Amish crafted furniture since I was a child, and it's a coming of age thing to go buy your first piece from one of the woodworkers for us. Not to mention their communities are beautiful and wonderful and generally good. I try to support local Amish communities whenever possible, because they deserve it.

I will literally be moving nextdoor to Amish people... I am very happy to have such smart, independent, hardworking people with morals and values as my neighbors!!

why are you lying?

Thank you for doing this video, it was most enjoyable. Use to visit Lancaster, Pa. several times, purchased so much of their harvests and then canned it. They have a beauty all their own, even though we do not see all into their lives, it has to be hard, but wish families were closer the way they are.

It’s a wonderful way to live. But as this world gets more and more chaotic I worry for them. The violence in this world isn’t kind. They don’t believe in violence.

The world is at peace like no time in history............WW2 for example where 35,000 people a day died on average for a 6 year period................Read about history and you'll see this is most peaceful time in human history.

@@ertfgghhhh Many places in Africa have a homicide rate half of what it was just 30 years ago. BTW you know a massive amount of people that died in WW2 were Asian too, I never said anything specific about Europe, I said the world as a whole and as a whole the world is at peace like no time in history.

I think the fact that they’re more secluded helps them be more protected.

I am thoroughly impressed watching this video from India. Great community with love for nature, animals having strong religious beliefs & moral values. Thanks for your effort to bring out this video.

I have always been very interested in the Amish culture and lifestyle 💜💜I’m not Amish nor raised Amish but I grew up in a very rural, small agricultural area in Northern California, north of Napa and Calistoga in the mountains I moved from there over 30 years ago and there are aspects of the close knit community I grew up in it was a 3 hour drive to San Francisco for major medical stuff to get to UCSF medical was somewhat limited in my home community unfortunately 😢 we had great basic medical care but major stuff like chemo or bypasses we were usually referred to UCSF😮 so, once we got to driving age got very good at driving the mountain roads. 😅 though their involvement in the puppy mill industry makes me very sad 😢

I lived right next to an Amish family in governor NY, and actually had to go through two gates on their property just to go to the store or doctor. They actually helped me get unstuck, with two big horses and steel wheeled wagon. IT worked better than a 4by4 jeep, and I always gave their kids a hard candy when I was going through thier gates. But no more than one candy a day per kid. They were always working on something, and they make some of the best bread, cheese, and soaps I've ever had. Thanks for showing these thriving people, and their honest way of life. Kerry Grant luvs mother earth and not pludoctats fracking narssistic psyopathic autocrats.

Amazing stories I adore the amish discipline and work ethics in the community

Understanding where you live, and a community that is educated to know, is very important in order for longevity as a people.

I find it interesting that it was mentioned about education. My mother is the oldest of 10. My Grandfather took her out of school in the 8th grade to help work the farm. My mother is 82 now. I am glad to hear that their attitude about education is changing. My Grandfather did not believe in education.

Absolutely love this kind of living. The Amish are a fascinated group of folk. 💗

Oops, was going to say thank you to all the people involved in making this video and bringing it to us on KZread!!!

Seeing a black buggy led by a beautiful horse is a beautiful sight and reminds me of days long gone by. Hard work and God-fearing people, two things that are missing today.

Everyone can not be Amish, but it looks like we can learn a lot from the Amish

I went to an Amish restaurant in Lancaster Co. PA , All people sat at a big table at the appointed time and food was passed around family style. Yummy.

I truly love learning about the Amish way of life. Thank you for this delightful documentary. God bless the Amish ❤

I am so amazed by the Amish. I feel like God is truly on their side.

Just look at those kiddos are running in the snow and having so much fun. I imagine the Amish don't see work as we do. Although manual labour is physically hard it's harder when you know so much of the population are sitting in an heated office etc. So if all are equal in their society it probably just seems natural to go amd graft. Great insight into their world. Thank you for sharing.

yes, while they work hard, they also believe in family time and relaxation. So, when we are trying to get to our office job in the blizzard, they are at home enjoying time with each other !

Society has a lot to learn from Amish. More than ever.

I grew up in western Pennsylvania and every summer I would stay with my grandmother in the summers. We would drive into Millers town 6:18 and Reading. There were a lot of Amish around. I loved it. Their cooking is excellent and so are their wood working skills.

I feel like I belong there! Great Documentary I must watch for anyone not knowing the Amazing Amish!

love how this was done/I have watched this by renting from our library atleast 50 times now

I pray that you will always exist. I love your community and wish that I could learn more from you.

I found a long long plain wooden table w 8 beautiful sturdy chairs put together w wooden pegs and drilled holes......I found the set second hand.....I was stunned. I bought it in a heart beat and gave it to my son for his "conference table" as he graduated law school......one of our family's pride and joy sets of furniture......🖐🏻☺️

I like this genuine people and community. They are the real believers and not hypocrites as I understand. They help each other so efficiently and effectively! I myself can’t live such a lifestyle but I respect them. It is interesting to know how much it costed and who pays for that building of the barn ?
