Ex-2x2 Architect Lays Out Living Witness Doctrine
**Just because the root of Dean Bruer's actions are discussed, explained, and better understood in this video, in no way are they justified.**
Both David and Chester, grew up in a legalistic group started in 1897 that denies the deity of Christ and strives in vain towards a work based salvation. They claim no name, but are known as Meetings, The Truth, Friends & Workers, 2x2s, The Fellowship, The Way, etc. They claim to be a continuation of the 1st century church and the "ministers" or workers, are homeless and go in pairs. However, they stay in members homes known as the Friends. In '23 & '24 a lot of CSA and SA has been revealed in the leadership and members, so many of the Friends are leaving the group. You can find out more about them here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_by_Twos
Notes from Chester about the Living Witness Doctrine.
The origin/source of spiritual life/salvation
The Living Witness Doctrine (LWD) is the belief that spiritual life can only be transferred person-to-person through a living witness.
Two by Twos believe the workers are the only living witnesses through whom spiritual life may be imparted. That they are the exclusive source of spiritual life/salvation. That their church is God’s Only Right/True Way.
Life begets life.

It's sad to hear about stuff like this. Not all Amish are like this. Some are true Christians, then some are like that.
😭😭I’m sorry you had to go through this. I know first hand the satanic mobbing that often happens in these communities when someone comes to the Lord in true salvation. Religion manifested
Blessing to you and your family. I pray those in your community will see God’s love through you and believe.
"the Truth shall set you free"-- Lord Jesus Christ. It comes from Him, not some sidelined bunch of men.
leaving a particular sect does NOT mean leaving JESUS! 1 Corinthians 11:3-- "CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF EACH MAN", the pastor isn't, nor the priest, nor the pope. BUT THEY TRY TO INTERFERE between a man and God sometimes, and usurp the position of Christ as Head of the man.
sounds like a cult to me
its just a control system , they could tell your brainwashing was wearing off but so strong and evil it could turn your own son against you ! the most dangerous thing is , is when the word is perverted , the first thing the devil did was infiltrate the church/Vatican , and majority are still under there control ...
I am so glad that Steve shared his experience. I feel like God has sent this message directly to my heart. So much pain and so much confusion. I will always believe that God is directing my heart. This was from God. I hope many others will listen to this interview 🙏
Our pastors wife was Amish, from Missouri. Most of the members started getting saved thanks to a Baptist witnessing to them. When they all came to the church and heard for the first time, the Word preached from the Bible, they knew this was what they were beginning to understand! They didn’t know what to call themselves, so they with Amish Baptists 😂!
If his children were minors, why did he leave them in a place where they will never be taught right. He had every right to take his children out of there.
Have a question on the scripture that they quoted where is that found? The one where Paul said not to identify as being a part of following a man like calling yourself Amish or calling yourself Mennonite because that identifies either yourself as the follower of or a part of the man who started the Amish organization or Menno Simon who formed the Mennonites. Coming from that background I would like to be able to research that
1 Corn 3:4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely human? I'm not sure if that's the one you are looking for or not.
Shunning to me is a form of spreading gossip ! We are to forgive and LOVE one another !
Thank you for sharing your testimony for the love you have on Jesus. It's also the love of Jesus, His love for you. He will heal the pain in your heart, He will carry your burden. Your children they love you, but simple they are brainwashed. But they never forget how you loved them and how you care of them. I will pray for your children. And you and your wife. That she will know, that the Lord Jesus never leave her nor will forsake her. ( it was my mother favorite verse ) And that Adam may know that he is loved, he is loved. I pray that Adam always look for Jesus and that he will know the love of Jesus in his heart. Ask and Jesus freely gives❤ Jesus is our source. His Love healed my heart. Even know you cannot, say it to the Lord, He gives, He freely gives. His love transforms us. There is know greater love then the love of Jesus❤ Be strong and courages, dear family. His love endures forever.
After watching part 1 n 2, I feel the amish group seems to be a bunch of jobless godless self-centered fools. It also happens that i have quit church for 7 years now, n I've done well since. I'm not against God/Jesus or his institution the church, but we are now in the last days that this institution is nothing but a relic of what it was commanded to be. I do believe God is preparing to rebuild his Jerusalem temple which will reestablish the truth n stop all this harassment of God's genuine children. Cheers all. God's big redemption n restoration he spoke of through the prophets is finally here.

Ty David for documenting such an amazing video journey
Leonard and wife suggestions start a group or church for (Amish people or none Amish people group support) for being shunned! Follow in ur heart what the Bible says! My favorite verse is ur enemy is hungry feed them, ur enemy is thirsty give water, but do NOT take vengeance as vengeance be mine and u be blessed for NOT taking vengeance! My Other verse is help neighbors with care and love the same way I will do for u! ❤❤❤
Keep all ur animals especially the horses 🐎 don’t give up JEHOVAH and JESUS will NEVER shunned you/or ur family! Do a store online with items so we may order from ur store ❤
They do not have an online store. No power or internet still. They did add some solar to their house so they can have a solar fridge!!
I really enjoy and look forward to these podcasts. They help me a lot.
People are confused in that they think being Amish is a Christian faith, when in fact it is a "way of life." It appears that the largest majority of Amish are not in a saving relationship with Christ. So sad......
Sounds like a cult. I thought the Amish were Biblical. I had no idea. So much courage the Lord gave this man and his wife. God bless you!
When you mentioned the funeral, that is the exact same experience I had at my own grandmother's funeral/memorial. Part of my family is in it (still are), and another part is not anymore. For those of us not in it, it was like we didn't even exist, it felt cold. They had a potluck after, in the same house, but yea, we were all basically ignored. It didn't even feel like a memorial, it felt like just a moment for the worker who spoke to preach the gospel and that was it. After going to another funeral recently, which was held in a christian church, it was the exact opposite. People were talking, hugging, shaking hands. Your religion didn't matter. Part of me wished my grandma had a better memorial, but at the same time, she was so deeply entrenched in that faith that she probably would have loved it. Thank you for sharing your story! I was born into it but never liked it, even as a child, it just felt wrong. I never liked how I would have questions and they could never be answered, or I would get told to ask the workers when they come around. When they did come around, they still never answered my questions. I ended up disliking every religion because that was the only one I knew. Recently, with all the information coming out about the 2x2 sect, it has made me really question my own spirituality, after seeing that other religions are not like that at all.
The sad part... to take you 46 years to stop believing the lies told from the pulpit because of UNCHECKED teachings The BEST part... to FINALLY desire to REALLY READ the BIBLE and CHECK for the TRUTH WRITTEN vs. the TRUTH TOLD!....
My goodness......lot of complaints from Amish 46 .......it hurts my heart it could have been handled differently.....my friend from one brother to another......live your life in a way that people ask each other how does he do it? And some will come right up in your face and say i want what you have!!!! A beautiful situation to be in you share your testimony. In fact 5 days ago i was working with a Mexican and he had many questions i was able to plant the seed . I ask your prayers that God will send workers to water those seeds. We parted ways his last question to me was how can you tell if a person is born again? Im born amish 63 years .....we openly talk about Jesus as our savior and redeemer. In fact remember the questions the bishop ask you at your baptism? ......Do you believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God ? ....my answer in german ....ya ich glaub es Jeso Christus ish Gottes son. Do you remember the next question?......he lived he died he arose from the dead ...for my sins and your sin. Ya ich glaub and on down the line .......Jesus made a statement he said if you love me you keep all my saying.........so crazy me went searching, started in Matthew before i got through the gospels i had ove 200 saying written down in front of me .then it was time to go to work 😢. # 46 im not douting you in any way shape or form. However im confused ...no confused is not the right word , im curious to know were some of elders and ministers afflicted by demons? I can get a copy of a deliverance prayer. If any one is interested. Remember Jesus started that way he cast out demons and there bodies healed them selves . Im sorry i rambled on like this. I get excited, we are all Gods children he loves us all no matter what Christian life style we choose to live out . Lets be honest amish is a choice , a life style , our religion is a born again people. ......the holy spirit just reminded me ...not all scribes and pharasees have died yet. Have a blessed life where ever you are.
I was involved due to marriage like you. I knew when my husband professed it was the end. I stayed but the judgment was so opposite what the Bible teaches. I actually developed tricotomania. Its been years but i still feel the draw of it. Crazy
David, your interviews are so amazing and it brings such comfort when you can identify with each and every guest!! So confirming that when God led me out He was leading me to something so much better!! Thank you for what you’re doing!!
God bless that Man!!
I am very glad you have found out the truth! It is a blessing! The Amish are the same as all the other religions who try to control their people! It's sad!
Isaiah 63:5 KJV And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Why is it that most Amish who leave their community because of their faith don't join a regular church?
God Bless you Ray and your family. Keep listening to the Lord for guidance. He is using you.
Truely beautiful souls. Thank you so much.. From Derek Glennon in ireland
Jesus said to the crowd who were about to put a woman to death ,those who are without sin can cast the first stone.She was left alone with Jesus ,everyone leaving.
1 John 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. KJV
So i am 1 hour 15 min into this show...and he is in trouble for what amounts to thinking for himself and daring to drop a thermostat from 35 degrees to - 10...????? Solidified my personal beliefs that organized religion is about fear for revenue and salvation for a price. The ministers faied to resolve a community issue and provide the freezer....thus creating a problem that needed solving to aviod the furter problems caused by the piss poor managment of the community....sounds precisely like whats wrong with ANY form of government that requires the governedt surrender autonomy and slf determination. Government can become a religion and religions are nothing but forms of government masquerading as guidence to the feet of god.
Its a very unchristian thing to do to drive a memeber out of the community and ruin their lives and livelyhood because they refuse to do unchristian things to their neighbors.....as a person who has seen this and lived it to a certain degree in a different denomination....i feel that most organized religion is a bad thing.
What did they get shunned for? The way this was done makes me think that someone else was not happy with competition.....but i am a cynical person. That being said we have a small community if Amish in the county i reside in up here in northern Maine. Excellent people as far as i can see.
I’m so glad I watched this
His story is proof it is a cult. I live in Lancaster Pa, and know many who left the Amish but none have stories like this. KNOW THIS all Amish are not lost just like all churches are not perfect. Praying hard for this family every time i think of it.
I am not Amish. And our situations are different. But this has been fascinating for me. My sister is not Amish but has a deep hatred for me and says God told her not to have a relationship with me. Or my young children. I think I would be ok if she just blessed me and moved on but it’s like a shunning. She wants to make me pay for not going along with her and she wants everyone else to not like me either. I struggle with harboring bitterness for her. Maybe God led me to watch these two videos as part of him healing my heart. Thank you for doing this. 🙏

Leonard & Dora, had to wa❤t❤ch your 2 part srory 2X. I feel for you guys . I'm a real Pilgram from Massachusetts. You are tru e American s
Thanks for the interview!
I'm very thankful I'm NOT Amish! It's one thing to be "uninvited" to your church, but to enforce that everyone turn against you too? THAT'S DEFINITELY NOT the way out God and Jesus treated people and it's NOT what he teaches. Alienation is excersized by insecure individuals who feel they've lost total control. You'll be better off, in the long run, for this!
Your response to this shunning is perfect! God Bless them all! Now...start advertising your store in all the surrounding towns, hire locals to help run the business and keep doing what you're doing!!! Some things that happen, as painful as it can be, ARE FOR THE BEST!
What’s the name of the Christian conference ?
So as I am listening to Dora tell her pleat story, low and behold I notice her dear husband is paying zero attention to her and full attention to his phone. Maybe that is a great reason to NOT have one. One of the downfalls of society is how people can’t pull their face out of a phone long enough to interact with humanity right in front of them.
Amazing! Just watched your video. My dad’s family grew up in the Church of the Brethren in the Johnstown area of western PA. Father’s Day, Sunday 16 June 2024, 8:30 am CST
I just had to comment, at 25:30, Dorome's witty candor about the Amish being able to spread news faster than a phone. It's a funny image.
