What are your thoughts on the Amish? Do you have any video suggestions!?
I come from an amish family. 90% of my extended family is still amish. I've always wondered, what happened to anabaptists who stayed in europe and did not emigrate? Did they assimilate into other denominations or are there still anabaptsist communties around.
Edit: Great video by the way!
Hey @Dairy Peak! RL! Thats really interesting that your family is predominantly amish, are you from America? I made a video about the anabaptists a while back, but I am making some documentaries about the specific anabaptist groups (Mennonites + Hutterites) which will answer your question! But yes, there are still anabaptists in Europe, however in much fewer numbers. They were heavily persecuted by both the catholic and protestant state churches, as-well as enslaved by the ottoman empire which drove them to near extinction. But this topic will be covered in much more depth in a video coming soon!
@@DainetheHistorian Awesome! Yes I'm from Holmes County, Ohio. I'm really glad I found this channel, I love your presentation skills and I find these topics very interesting. Looking forward to more content. Have a great day!
Moin moin,
deinen Akzent habe ich noch nie gehört.
Woher kommst du ?
Klinkt so, als wenn ein Deutscher versucht englisch zu proken.......
I'm just curious, why does your thumbnail have the state of Kentucky labeled as Missouri?🧐
We need to have large families 🇺🇸
Large families are the best!
@@DainetheHistorian absolutely
I really love the amish. If we become all amish we create a beautiful world.
I agree MrMichelele!
Love the Amish protect them at all costs
@Douglas W I couldn’t agree more, they are truly remarkable! Thanks for your comment!
No to many white people as it is.
@@liberalbias4462 I'm gonna assume your a troll but you should know that by 2150 they will be the majority in America so go cope
@@elijah9253 I am a troll. I think its cool that there gonna be the majority.
They believe in ,...go forth and multiple...I like their simple life style...and being Christian...they are fascinating..glad they kept their traditions...they are peaceful and loving people..well educated and intelligent..
Great "small documentary", this deserves tons of views! Their culture/way of living always fascinated me! Keep up the good work! - From The Netherlands.
@Rowan vd K thank-you for your kind words and support brother! Yes the Amish are extremely fascinating! The Netherlands has a lots of Calvinists correct? Would you say they have similar lifestyles to the Amish?
@@DainetheHistorian Yeah the main protestant branch is the Calvinistic (sorry for my English; not native) one. Although the number of Christians are declining (especially the Catholics in the Southern part of the Netherlands), there are some strict protestant municipalities with high rates of church attendence and high fertility rates. Some wear traditional clothes, only on sunday I think, so not that similar to the Amish. If you are interested Google: Staphorst (it is a municipality nearby my hometown Zwolle) and Urk (Municipality).
I am very interested and will definitely check them out! Thank you so much for that information.
Just thought I'd add this comment. If you are interested in groups with high birthrates, conservative homeschool families generally have larger families. They may attend a variety of different types of churches, but many believe that children are a blessing and don't intentionally limit the number of children they have. Most of the families I know in this group have 8 or more children.
Thank-you for your comment Nora! You are completely right! Wow, 8 children or more? Thats incredible! Which specific group are you referring to?
@@DainetheHistorian Quiverfull Movement probably
This is why population collapse is happening for non Amish.
That second Missouri in the thumbnail is kentucky…
Can't believe this channel only has 1k subscribers. I think this channel will blow up soon. great job!
Wow @Cal thank-you so much for your kind words and support brother!
This young man is very , interesting and knowledgeable....so have Christian values...but not very political minded.
Really appreciate your support Jane!! Much more coming.
Please do a video on The Hutterites.
And be sure to go into detail on their population and it’s future projections as well.
The Anabaptists are going to become a very very important people moving forward as the secular world becomes more and more infertile.
@Aurora Absolutely! I will definitely be making a Hutterite documentary, that will include all your factors! Thank-you for your comment and support brother!
To many white people.
@@DainetheHistorian Thank you brother!
Your channel will get more and more exposure, it’ll be great to see it grow.
Another interesting group is the Laestadian Lutheran Church in Finland.
They’re also very fertile, but they’re much harder to research. We have way less info on them.
Hutterites would definitely be easier to cover.
But yes, great documentary, God bless the Amish, and keep up the good work!
Thank-you for that information, I will research the Laestadian Lutheran Church as best I can, and see if there is enough for a possible future video! Are you from Finland?
@@DainetheHistorian
I am not from Finland. I’m just greatly interested by high-fertility groups within developed countries.
Because as you know, most people assume the a society becomes wealthy, infertility is inevitable.
Groups like the Amish, Hutterites, Laestadian Lutherans in Finland.
They disprove this theory.
They’re also really cool in general.
The Amish are definitely my favourite though.
But yeah man, be sure to mention population projections as well.
You know like, “2050 - X” “2100 - X”
Etc. just to show expected growth. Because it’s exciting to see as a Christian.
Incredibly informative video! Don't see nearly enough informative videos on the Amish and Mennonites. Definitely subscribing for the great work.
They will save America.
How and why?
I am glad they exist and hope hat they continue to grow and prosper, but they are pacifist and not nationalist.
A few may have shotguns, but they will never ride out of their fields and stack bodies of the urbanites, foreigners, and liberals. One of their folk heroes was killed by an Injun and they revere him because he didn’t fight back.
Also why.
They have prospered because of the protection of the US. When the land becomes too unsafe and inhospitable for them they will simply move on.
@@benjaminchooby6760 they will acclimatize
Unfortunately they only number 400,000 so perhaps not

Great documentary. Thank you! Please keep it going! It would benefit many.
Thank you for producing this! I needed these fact and figures! I love researching anabaptists and so glad I've come across this page ❤
Every day I want to be Amish more and more not even for religious purposes.
Tiffany you are definitely not alone! I totally share your feelings
I understand
Faith is integral to being Amish
@@ChristisKing9292 I should have said “like” the Amish. Not Amish. I am religious but I don’t believe everything like the Amish do.
Excellent documentary Mr. Schleppe, keep up the good work.
This addressed many questions I have had about Amish and much more. I like the summary text slides in the video that allow me to review and study further. Thank you. And look forward to seeing more.
Glad you enjoyed it Kono, thankyou for your support! Much more coming soon!
This video gave me enough info about fundamentals and details of the Amish to write a presentation about them. I was able to write three pages worth of notes from this video too, super well done!
I'm glad I could help Noah! Thank you for your support!
Wonderful and insightful work!
This was very interesting ❤️
Thank you for taking time to research
Thank-you Sonia! Glad you enjoyed the video... many more to come! Thanks for your support sister!
I really enjoy history and an interest in history 16 th and 17 th century as well. I had been reading lots on Martin Luther and the anibaptists and came across your videos. You do a great job and I’m enjoying your videos. I also like the pictures and slides
Thank-you for your sweet comment, Pamela! I'm glad you enjoy my videos. Many more to come :)
I have recently discovered your videos and they are very informative and well produced.
Just a small point: the T in apostles is silent.
Very good work. Very detailed and informative
Thanks @Pau!
Great video!
Very interesting and well presented. I have been doing all our family tree work here in the UK back to the 1700s (we are not Amish) and until women were able to control births, they did often have large numbers. Eg I bought all 40 birth certs of all my great aunts and uncles born from 1800s to 1900s. The 4 great grandmothers ranged from 9 to 11 children (of the 11 1 died so 10 results), one had 10 and that included twins. One had 9 but only 3 survived to age 21 (very sad). So basically about 10 or 11 is you marry around 18 - 20 and carry on until you are about 40. I think the one with 11 might have had more but her husband went to war twice so here were some gaps. I had 5 including twins but could have had more. In the UK many babies now being born are not from British parents. However most groups who move to the UK tend after 2 generations of not working the land etc then have fewer children in most communities other than hassidic jews. " In 2021, 28.8% of live births were to non-UK-born women" "I n 2021, Pakistan remained the most common country of birth for non-UK-born fathers; Romania was the most common country of birth for non-UK-born mothers, and this was up from second in 2020. Albania moved into the top ten most common countries of birth for both non-UK-born mothers and non-UK-born fathers for the first time." Anyway very interesting topic. We probably need about 5 in 6 of us to die off on this planet to be sustainable and have 18m more people in the UK ( a very small country) than when I was born and not enough space or housing so it is certainly an issue of our age.
Excellent Documentary. 😎👍
God Bless and take care. Peace. ✌🏻
thank-you for your support brother!
@@DainetheHistorian No problem man. Keep up the great work. ✌🏻
Well done, thank you
Very informative!
Thank-you @Sonja, glad you enjoyed it!
I believe the Amish fertility rate may have something to do with their not exposing their bodies to all the chemicals, food additives, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other toxins that non Amish people have allowed into their bodies. What do you think?
Hi David, great question! Fertility rates and birth rates are generally considered the same thing, which I think causes a lot of confusion and I should have said birth rates in the video. The Amish are pro-natalist, meaning they actively promote having children and large families, compared to the modern world which does not, or at least to a much lesser extent. You are definitely right that the Amish come across less plastics, additives, etc, which would cause infertility. But I think the main reason the Amish have higher fertility rates (birth rates) than the rest of Westerners is simply because of their encouragement of children and family values. For example, the Amish generally dislike the the idea of social security and pension plans looking after them in old age, which may be another motivator for them to have lots of children that can look after them in their old age.
The amosh are great people. May God continue to bless them
Very good video!
@Lukáš Sivak I am glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your support brother!
The Amish is a presence near Harrisburg, PA. They unfortunately suffer a lot of genetic diseases via founders effect and inbreeding. I saw a few of them while at Hershey Medical Center for a year. A few became MD’s to treat their own people.
Thank-you for this comment George! I have heard about this, which is why many now look for potential marriage partners outside their colony. I had no idea some amish members have become medical doctors to help their community, that is amazing!
this needs more views
@Boogie I agree and thank-you for your support!
Really interesting topic!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
@@DainetheHistorian Thanks for sharing it with us!
Actually, the Amish ideology is quite ingenious. In a hundred years, it's up to the Americans to decide how to combine this ideology with politics and how to incentivice more Amish to educate in sciences for the greater good. Unless of course, America wants to become a traditionalist agrarian society or a Canadian colony.
It will be interesting to see if the Amish continue growing at their historic rates! You make an interesting point @zakuro, thanks for your comment!
Their ideology is specifically against politics...
I grew up near mennonites not the same but they were good neighbors. I bet the Amish make good neighbors too I wish they’d move down south where I live
Pennsylvania: "It seems our Amish have overflown & gotten all over the place."
God bless them.
RESPECT 💯
Very good video, but a few misconceptions on “rumspringa”
U should bass boost version
The mennonite church I went to had a vote for a new pastor and if more than one man got a certain number of votes THEN there was a lot. It wasn't completely random!
Wow this makes you think. I've been debating if I go back since I still easily could. I've been "rumspringa" for 9 years, although now I wouldn't call it that, just ex amish I guess. I had a great childhood with nothing to complain about, but you see so much negativity today towards the amish that I'm like, why would I want to go back? My parents are fine either way as long as I go to church somewhere.
Im glad you found it interesting Uh Void! Thank you for this comment. Its nice to here that your parents are supportive of you. Do you see the colony or family very often?
💟✝️💟
How can I become Amish? Sounds great!
I agree Matt! I know that the Amish have allowed new people into their colonies, but only very few over the past decades. As-well, most of these Amish converts end of leaving the colony because the work and general life is too difficult and alien, relative to the modern world.
Do we know what amish who leave the church do? do they tend to become other Chrisitans or do they leave religion altogether? Although their retention rate is impressively high, the 15% who _do_ leave will become more significant every year.
On the contrary. It use to be 20 in 1990 and it slowly decreased to 15. Simultaneously fertility rates dropped 0.3 but net total is increase in population growth.
Shit is so mentally ill at the moment that If drop out grows its after west has found its sense.
The scenes at 9:29 and 10:00 are not of an Amish church. It looks like some conservative Mennonite church.
There was an interesting report, 'Amish Projected To Overtake The Current US Population In 215 Years, If Growth Rates Continue', that claimed if the Amish maintain their existing fertility rate, they will be the majority population in the US.
Is that a big *If* ?
This was picked up by the blogosphere.
_'By 2303, 332 million Amish people will live in the United States if the Amish growth rate of doubling every 21-22 years continues. (Data from Elizabethtown College). But in fact, the Amish will not quite be a majority of Americans in 2250, because Orthodox Jews have only-slightly-slower growth rates.'_
_'Assume that regular US population stabilizes at 430 million in 2100. By 2250, the population is 430 million regulars, 450 million Amish, and 100 million Orthodox Jews, for a total of about a billion people.'_
A USDA statistician did a deep dive into future Amish demographics that's an interesting read: 'How Long Until We’re All Amish? Never Gonna Happen, But It’s a Fascinating Question!'
by Lyman Stone.
Of course, other aspects have their influence. For example, the majority of Amish in Lancaster County no longer farm. Will this cascade elsewhere? Farmland is very expensive and the earnings from the trades are quite good. Unlike a single non-Amish farm family who might pick and go to cheaper farmland, the Amish move in groups; a few landless brothers, their landless cousins, maybe a couple of landless friends, and all their spouses needed to establish a district. This happens. But, what happens when these young fellas are the sons and grandsons of non-farming Amish? They haven't being picking up the agricultural skills in their youth. If they fall from farming, what else falls? How does workplace law affect 12-year-old boys working on construction sites or in a furniture shop beside their fathers? And if they can't pick the vocational training to comply with the mandatory diary, does it mean they have to go to public high school until they're 16 (or state-mandated minimum age)?
Moreover, if there is a large and persistent income gap between farming Amish and non-farming Amish (some Amish have now even entered banking and are doing quite well), this may reveal interesting martial choices by young Amish women. They certainly aren't as consumerist as non-Amish women, yet women are more attracted to security than risk. A young Amish fella earning good money in the trades and buying a home at a young age is a safer bet than a young fella with just a few acres or renting farmland. And who really enjoys milking the cows at 5 am on a freezing winter's day?
"They also allocate time out of their busy lives for church"? They are Christian first, or they're supposed to be. It's not a side note...
Rumspringe is mostly a myth perpetrated by movies. Some youth do rebel, and involve themselves in things not supported by the church; however, many communities more or less discourage this rebellion, teaching that "whatever seeds you sow, you shall also reap". Some youth may indeed leave home, but they are much in the minority.
Ahh thank you for this insight M Kneißle! That makes sense. In every TV show illustrating the Amish, they always seem to exaggerate the Rumspringe to ridiculous proportions. I love that phase "whatever seeds you sow, you shall also reap".
@@DainetheHistorian You're welcome, and yes, that's right. There's not much money to be made by presenting the lives exemplary young folks; rather they go for the shock factor.
I love your videos! Coming from an Old Order Mennonite setting here. Enjoy learning more about and discussing our history.

If every christian church lived like Amish community we can challenge islam and other world religon's....we christian's are majority in non-christian nation's....🤔🤔🤔🤔
Right now Muslims should be seen as our allies. They want what we want--the ability to worship and practise our faith in peace. The ability to raise and educate our children as we see fit (including running schools). The ability to run businesses according to our consciences.
🌟Wonderful Video! EXCELLENT!🌟 However, I would like to add a comment about Amish "Rumspringë.! 😳 In this video it states that Amish teenagers "leave their Amish Community" and live in the outside world. It said, to experience the non- Amish lifestyle and to decide whether or not they wish to remain Amish. .... In Pennsylvania, Leaving home during teen years, "Rumspringë" is NOT part of Amish lifestyle!
** please note: I am only qualified to speak about the Pennsylvania Amish ( I lived for several years, in an Amish home, attended Amish activities and Amish Church services. Etc.. ).
So, I am wondering which Group of Amish, ( from which State), the video is referring to, about the teenagers leaving home and living in the outside world.
The Amish are very Conservative Christians. On various occasions, I have asked Pennsylvania Amish people about this subject, and the Pennsylvania Amish have NEVER heard of this "teenagers leaving home" type of "Rumspringë. I'm not saying the Amish are "Perfect". Occasionally, there are rebellious Amish teenagers who become involved in drinking and other activities. That, however, is Not accepted as a part of the Amish way of Life. The PA Amish community does not allow Alcohol or other drugs. Not even for the teenagers. And the Amish Youth are NOT encouraged to try out the "English" ( non Amish) way of life.
In Pennsylvania, The Amish teenagers join an Amish Youth group ("gang") where they meet together every Sunday to play Sports, Sing together, and Socialize. During the summer, the Amish Youth Groups have Volley ball Tournaments, Baseball games, and many other Outings such picnics, and trips--to the Beach or many other places ( like Niagra Falls, Museums, etc..) That is what the PA Amish teenagers do during the time of life called "Rumspringë."💙
Wow, thank you for your comment @kristinmoreno9203! I really appreciate this information. There are definitely some things I would do / say differently if I was to make this video again - you are correct. Thanks Kristin!
I thouroly despise shunning.
Most of the old order Amish don’t allow there children to rumspringa i grew up around a very conservative Amish in western ny
I appreciated most of this video a great deal. I work with Amish and teach H.S. World History. I would have loved to share the video with students but you included nudity. I think this was pretty unnecessary and disappointing. :(
22:14 or they could raise money for other European Christians instead of giving to Haiti
So they are more like mice , interesting 🤔
I'd rather be mice than go extinct like the dodo bird!
Used to be amish, would never go back, they have a lot of great values…. But everyone should also realize what the definition of a cult is. I won’t say a lot because it will only look negative

Just because they adhere to strict outward rules DOES NOT mean they are humble! They are very legalistic! They may have "some" good things mixed in but they have missed the mark in doctrine. Leglism kills grace.
Very true. Mennonites have better doctrine.
Jesus said if you even look upon a woman in lust you are guilty of adultery. You think that kills grace?
We have to intgrate the Amish and watch there birthrate drop.
You probably generated more garbage and CO2 in you teens than an entire state full of amish people.
