i'm not religious, but i have a deep respect and admiration for those who've managed to carve out a satisfying, simple life that actually allows for a healthy level of sleep, leasure and physical activity, as well as living through rewarding skills.
seriously, in a way i envy them.
I think the same thing.
Look a bit further into them. I've been listening to a podcast from people that have left the Amish.
They have serious trauma from the way the reglion treats them. Plus how they hide sexual and physical abuse.
Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and rose on the 3rd day. Believe in him and repent of your sins so you can have eternal life. Few find him, many perish in their sins. Don't go to hell. Its real simple.
I think I want to be Amish. I long for a simpler down to earth life. What's so great about all of our modern conveniences that have made us more isolated and separated from others than ever before?
From Pennsylvania Amish country. An Amish man once replied to such a statement. You don't have to be Amish to live like the Amish. You can chose to live a simpler life.
Ann Korn True...
Ann Korn so true
Raymond Hilliard, what wrong with modern conveniences is the taxpayers or government is keeping an eye on us, that they don't want to many people livin this lifestyle. I want to live almost like this but with some cars and tractors as part of some modern
+Carey Abels I'm older and I like appliances and anything to make life easier. Praise God.
I live about one hour north of Sugar Creek. There are Amish communitys the same distance North from me as well. I am proud, excited whatever the word is,....I like to live in the state with the largest Amish population in the US. I have always admired the Amish way of life. It's been a long time since I been to Sugar Creek, I just don't have reason to go that far South....or North to Middlefield.
They sure take pride in their way of life. Very hard and extremely disciplined people to be able to live the way they do. I have such a respect for the Amish people. Everything they do, they give it their all but they do it with pride Such a beautiful, pure way of life …simple and clean
They work VERY much and many hours each day. I do not envy them.
Simple is more!
Ahhh, I love early 2000’s production quality and graphics. Nostalgic times of my youth
Ive never been Amish and live in the Mo Ozarks, Ive lived with out electricity with a bathroom used an outhouse, used a wringer washer and hung clothes out ... its a nice life and its not hard when you dont really know any better.
The tourism in Branson did the same thing to the country area around it, What used to be a quaint fishing town is now a Vegas strip of lights day and night. I think Branson let the tourism go to their heads and get to far.
Yup, this is what the none Amish don’t understand and are navine.
Education is essential and needful. It's about time people continue to mingle and associate. Goodness for all.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤
Some of my ancestors were Penn. Dutch. My great, great grandparents spoke this German dialect at home. Sometimes I wish they hadn't left Penn. I could have lived like this and been very happy. But then, because my ancestors did leave Penn, my grandma met my grandpa......and so on, and it's how I got here. I need to go visit there.
AMISH culture can and has shown a nation what sustainability is about, they have been doing this life style since 1800's and to me there the ones whom are intelligent, giving, caring and take care of their own without any gov't' funding. This once great nation called America could learn so much about their way of life. Not pushing their religious beliefs but their way of a peaceful life, no electronics, no negative means to impede on them and not stress of course a much healthier way of life. Many Blessings to you all 💕🌞🌻
They aren't necessarily sustainable. I'm sure most people would be shocked at just how NONsustainable they are.
People need to move past the quaint or precious view they have of the Amish. The culture is based on deeply held religious values, not ecological, back to nature or other "feel-good" ideas.
You cant leave Jesus out Jesus is the center of the Amish people and any Born Again Child of GOD, GOD is Love thats what binds our hearts to our maker.
the Amish existed through the extreme persecution of the 17th century before they settled in America. How ironic America is "and liberty and justice for all" just so long as you do what we say. that isn't freedom. The Amish are doing nothing to hurt you, and all the outside world does is belittle them and treat them as a freak show. i am not Amish, but i am a Christian with the deepest respect for them.
The outside world does not belittle the Amish . That is all the ppl do not belittle them. I know about belittling for your religion and way of life. I have lived with that.
There are people that put down everyone Catholics Dutch reform religion and there are ppl that put down the non religious ppl. There will always be ppl thst put some ones believe down.
I find it sad that when people living a simple honest life are such an oddity that they become a tourist attraction. It speaks volumes about our society when this happens. They should be the norm not the odd ones out 😢
Thank you for sharing this. It was lovely and respectful to the Amish people. I really enjoyed watching it.
We have had more amish to move into our county & I am so proud to see to find me of the simpler ways of living!!..I now leave my phone put..turn tv off when doing work at home..& we still heat our home with wood..disconnect for a period of time is rough in beginning but becomes easier each time..we get more chores done.more quality time with family..learn the old ways & pass it on🙏🙏🙏
We built a home in Ohio in 2008, and we have amish around us. We bought all amish made furnisher. All wood. Real wood.
They're very inspiring. I visited them 3 times in Pennsylvania. Their Anabaptis roots keep them authentic and a great example to the world. With everything else going around us which is totally the opposite from their lifestyle and belief system, they give me hope about human kind. Hope they remain original because they can help a lot of people to understand the world in much simpler way. 🙏
Amish are very nice people and would help you out with just about anything. Some people putt them out to be bad people but there not bad people at all
@Katelynn they absolutely are very hard workers. And awesome craftsmen
I would love to live like the Amish, they have a healthy and stress free lifestyle. Only problem for me is I like to have the odd wine now and then 🤣
They did a solid effort at turning the 'nothing happens here' into a benefit
Interesting I m always interested in religious lives. Thank you for sharing.
Second everything that you said. LEAVE THE AMISH ALONE. Treat them with love and respect ... and they will do the same toward you. They are good, decent people. They love God and they love their community. LEAVE THEM ALONE.
I say they know the true meaning of life.
Enjoy your videos 📹. 📹 ...
Great back ground music 🎶.
The Amish look healthier than the tourists.
How is this diffrent from city life.im up at 4am on the bus to work.making mash potatos and chicken at kfc veggies and biscuits. Leave at 3pm home by 5:30 pm.no car i walk or my bike.no tv or radio.cant afford cable music is trash today washer dryer broke i wash by hand dry on string line.whats the diffrence?
I respect their traditional and religion. This my 15 months in the U.S. in Virginia, I first saw some of them when riding horses, it was so interesting to how they keep their traditional till now. I had discussed about Amish and Mennonite. The people have to respect such culture.
Rosh rzy
God bless the Amish.
God bless the Amish always.
Amen to that.
This seems to be based more on the commercial aspect of those taking advantage of the Amish way of life rather than about the Amish themselves.
I agree that this is nothing more than a tourist sight. I have Amish neighbors who have honored me into their homes. If you have more money than brain cells than this sight is for you.
I want to go here someday. I think it would be very interesting and enlightening
So interesting my grandparents live in Southern Indiana so we would see Amish and visit their homes the business next to yhe homes. And niw there are resruranrs there. And I live near Amush country in Northern Indiana. With my daughters. So interesting and fun good food nice people . When I was a girl we had the wood burning stove and the wringer washer electric. Memories for me i know work for my mom.
this is wonderful
17:00 is my great grandfather John S. Miller's farm in Holmes county! My great aunts (his daughters) still live together in his house. Their brother lived in the other house a little further down the lane, also in this picture. He's no longer living however. Actually I still have alot of family that is still amish and living there in Holmes county.
Beautiful people beautiful country ,great video thank you ,I live in Australia and I wish the amish were here in Australia as well that would be great.
I love Amish country my 7 yr old daughter and I go to Hersbergers farm in Millersburg Ohio in the summer
My daughter and I visited for the day and we had a great time... The food at the Amish Door was so good, I highly recommend a nice spring or fall day. The people are very friendly also...
i love the amish life stile simple
i would like to live that way and be amish.
Me too. My mom wanted that so bad....
You can if you want to live that way.
Just get a house like Amish people remember they do not have light switches study up on them before trying to live like they do.
If you want to be simi Amish then wear a white bandana like they do and dress like they do.
And you can't drive remember.
No computer they do not believe in them.
And women never cut their Hair, they wear no makeup.
They make their own soap!
It’s sad seeing all of those older people at the beginning of the video, knowing that they’re probably gone now. Even though it seems like 20 years since then seems like very recent.
I am a hutterite we came from the roughest time we have faced the worst we the hutterites the amish can stand through the worst because we have the lord on our side.
there culture may appear backward but they proved right that modern technology will eventually bring us more trouble...
it already has...
Eer
@@janefromtennessee ...um. what does god have to do with your smart phone?
@@Myke_thehuman guess? Lol
Amish Mike,
I would be visiting beautiful soulful county soon, my friend.
Ole Fella i
There’s a bit of usury in these towns that use the term “Amish” in their business names, yet have no actual connection to the Amish or the Amish customs and ways of doing things. These towns taking advantage of the Amish name is shameful and just another example of greed.
should something happened and our current monetary system collapse or war breaks out, guesse who would survive? there will be a new reality. everything will be back to basics
There will be looting, I suppose. ppl will do that to the Amish as well.
Yes if you have a big block of land you can grow things . What you happen could happen very soon if another GFC happens.
Low Anne Behold truer today than ever
My mother was raised Amish in Holmes county :)
I would LOVE to go to an Amish restaurant and bed and breakfast! But I would annoy them bc d be so interested in their lifestyle and history I could ask a bajillion questions and listen all day!
This documentary was made 13 years ago. Wonder how it has changed in 2024!
I'm sure its because most English people eat ALOT of processed foods with preservatives and othere things in them that they don't need. Where everything the Amish eat is natural and alot healthier.
What is the soundtrack taken from in 14:56 ? It's very nice.
It is a shaker song, "Tis the Gift to be Simple." It was made Famous by Aaron Copland.
I don't understand what's so complex about working in a factory for 8 hours and watching TV for 4 hours a day.
I love the Amish people. I wish to be reincarnated as an Amish in my future rebirth.
The Amish life is like taking a step back into the 1800s, before everything changed.
I will love to live in a farm best life
Please, God, may the Amish never, ever let us of the world in.
So pleased to see them modernising a little. Old Amish are so strict there are huge family splits every time a youngster leaves. So many different communities and I admire the ideology but it often portrays as a cult.
Simply Amish!
In order to live the Amish restricted life, one would have to be born in it. You don't miss what you never had really. I haven't heard of outsiders joining their community, looks like they also conserve their ethnicity. I'd say that their way of life is admirable & reflects more how God intended for us to live on this earth, however, Jesus did not teach us to keep the gospel to ourselves, rather he mingled with all people in order to save them.
you don't have a clue I am a mennonite with anabaptist family
buzzm dano
calamorico you can be accepted into the amish! its a process but defiantly do able! they wont deny you normally once you prove your purpose of joining is good. its not common because most people doubt they can live without cellphones, computers, cars, ect.
***** That's good to know Dave :)
My mother was Amish and chose to leave to pursue her dream of being a cosmetologist (which is a symbol of vanity to the Amish, so a big no no). You can join an Amish community but you have to contact the leading Bishop of that county and you have to live with a host family. They want to be sure that you're not going to be baptized into the church, then just leave. You have to show patience and have great determination. You'd have to take steps such as living with a host family, giving up your modern electronics, studying the Bible every day, and studying Pennsylvania Deitsch (it's not Dutch at all. It's a dialect of German that was spoken in certain regions of Switzerland, where the Amish originated), and meeting regularly with the Bishop. It's a long process, but it is possible and can be done. People have done it.
She's right. Metzler also means butcher. It is linked to the word "Gemetzel" which means "slaughter". I would say that the Metzler is the original expression for butcher and Metzger is a newer form.
I thought Lancaster PA is the largest Amish settlement
You say potatuh, I say potato. Let's call the whole thing off😁
i was hoping that anybody out their remember my dad his name is GEORGE LOREN KEIM he would probably be in his late 80s or early 90s thanks.
i love tomatoes
word.
I have Miller, Martin, Schrock, and Metzler relatives. All on my mom's side. My mom grew up Mennonite. Something interesting about the surname Metzler is that it is a coruption of the German word for "Butcher."
22:16 This idea actually is said to come from indigenous peoples' as wells as Native Americans' ideas or epistemes (philosophy or mysticism) and has been transferred to 'other' schools of thought.
9:01 mass of tourist , i hate i´and them . The come in take photos without permission and looks you as an animal. Grrrrrrr
+M Sharpals ...they are curious that's all....they want to know your way of living....they are tired of their own lonely life....maybe you should give them a chance to learn and be open to them like our Lord did it to everybody who would come to him to have some advise!....they could learn from you....
Joy VonAlmem. Lol. Her Ancestor came where I live. Berner Oberland. The Name is "Von Allmen". In English "From (mountain) pasture".
What about Whitman's restaurant
Ja ja ja ja ja. Schönes Früchtchen....und werden Sie nicht unverschämt hier!
how I wish im a amish they.live simple but happy ....
That my dream no question ask go join the AMISH LIFE BE SUCH BLESSINGS where im at now you gotta do everything on eggs shells and they got black clouds. Hanging over their town its corrupt truth is the truth
The music on this is really hard to listen to
very nice .. :)
forgot to mention the garden dwarfs: also german, not swiss.
Very interesting video
Looks a bit tourist trap-ish but I guess everyone's gotta make a living somehow
Amish Restaurant...sounds like an oxymoron lol
I was watching Minecraft how the hell did i get over here.
You forgot Stoltzfus and Smucker.
the title ,,A Simple Life" is not accurate.
Because the live in amish-country is not simple or easy !!
belive , you have no modern tool´s , no internet , strong religiouse roules and so on ...
Ask your grandfather and let him tell what he has don in his time and what hard live it was ...
The title should be "A another live"
Greatings michael
Very true
About the end of the day and shopping hours. One of the reason we don't shop 24X7 in Australia is the shop keeper and their workers also need a break. They have things to do apart from their job. They also aren't sucked into consumerism and things are made that can be repaired.
@The69redneck69 you live in China??
cheddar cheese and cuckoo clocks have nothing to do with switzerland - sorry. also, the swiss amish did not originate from zurich, but from berne. the amish culture as such has a background in which swiss emigrants played a role amongst others. the food they serve today, the music they play, their customs do not represent switzerland - that's just the way it's all marketed - in fact, the followers of joseph ammann were such a minority in switzerland such a long time ago, they do not really figure in todays consciousness of swiss history. nevertheless, I think they are lovely people and I can understand why they had to leave switzerland; living separate from the world and maintaining such a different set of values is impossible in a country a small as switzerland.
Although most Amish are wonderful, it doesn't mention the facts of problems some Amish deal with. Puppy Mills, teenage drug addiction, etc...
Its not about chronological age.
People who are without God , seek the divine in many things, including the Amish communities. These people are thirsty for God , and they want to take the Amish Godliness home to their disordered and chaotic lives , homes,families and relationship
All well and good, but after an hour of that music I want to run and hide..
Ironically that this doesn't really portray a 'simple' life at all. A place packed with bus loads of tourists eating 'all you can eat' lunches at so called 'Amish Kitchens' which don't seem to be run by Amish, before they go 'shopping' up and down the street. The whole place seems to be doing very well taking advantage of people's curiosity about their neighbours. It all seems a bit 'fake' somehow. I've visited quiet & 'simple' villages where there's only one basic shop and hotel for miles!
Sure? Metzger means Butcher not Metzler....
What will happen when the US gov and Monsanto will come and say "Folks, you cannot keep your seeds anymore, you'll have to buy this GM crap from us"?
Antonio Ferrer Those Government MOFO'S will get a pitchfork in the eye.
Why did they have to spoil it with tourism . its not the same and the simple life is no more
Simple life does not generate enough of cash to keep the land. Amish embrace a lot of silly compromises in the name of cash flow. Lehman store boasts a collection of overpriced, kitchy, cheap Chinese junk. Hurry up folks for your fix of simplicity.
It’s an advertisement.
I appreciate the beauty of seeing an Amish tourist attraction. However, I think it’s sad watching the former Amish create such an invasive environment right in the heart of the Amish population’s homeland. That act, as witnessed in this video, nearly disables my misunderstanding and disdain towards shunning; I understand the need to shun after seeing this show, sadly. The former Amish folks accepted the English “world” and now exploit the religious peaceful world of the Amish folks they claim to have left; instead, they now sell it to earn a living.
I agree its sad to watch, the people have left their first love.
The love of money is the root of all evil.
Judgment day is coming for us all.
In many ways, education is over rated! For example: you don’t need a grade 12 to pick up or collect garbage or raise a barn or feed livestock... it is a very simple but strenuous way of living! Not everyone can live it! I most certainly wish i could but I know i wouldn’t be able to keep up! The religious beliefs are a lot too! You’d be giving up everything you love most and even then, most would not be accepted!
A bunch of spoiled kids with their moms and daddy giving them everything, always wanting them to smile, where they aren't taught to work, it would be 😭😭😭😭. Oh, this is horrible. Which they never cared about raising a child to a human with character. Where if the economy toppled, where life is really hard, they'd probably turn to being a thief rather than asking for anything.
Which if this life is started in younger age, a person grows into.it where it's simply life.
Which build the business, then your kids inherit a life so they can raise a family and provide for their children.
Which there's nothing wrong with being profitable as long as it is not exploitive or withholds from others. Maybe something I'm not thinking of.
Just like medicinal herbs are a market that'd been good to have started a couple decades ago.
Where living with others that share a vision is a start. Having sure faith in God would be an excellent start.
The only thing I don't like about the Amish is some have puppy mills and the puppies are outside in cages!! 😪😪😪
So true, puppies are just another commodity to them. Money. Shameful abuse to thus poor living beings!!!!
Go ELTRIDGE TENNESSEE
The simple life I love also but I have been waiting for the United States Government to take the land that the Amish people live on. The Government took the land from the Indians. Why not the Amish? The land is very fertile plus the government and businesses can use the skills that these people have. They make and sell their products to the Non-Amish and I have seen them in the train station riding on Amtrak. You can see in this video how they profit from the American people but yet and still the American people can not build houses on their land. This country is under populated. Do they pay taxes? Let them live in this country like the Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, Hindu and all the other religious groups. I know the automobile industry would love for them to buy cars. Business owners may not suffer that much financially if they were integrated into American society.
isn't something how certain folks are not picked on like you say, yet folks who are not even born here are..Muslims too have a very large area they have gated, no one allowed in..
@Donna - I think they are a protected class like Native American Reservations
lol i'm 31 not 11
there is also a dark side have you ever wondered when something seems to good to be true it usually is
It's all a facade. Probably one of the worst cults in America.
Some of you people are just day dreaming and wouldnt last a month. and yes they do buy food from the store/ You people need to stop shooting your mouth off thinking you know so much sit back and listen and learn.
Amish way of life always been just a cop out to deal with the modern life.
