    They are great people. I actually had a 25 year old hutterite man move onto my farm for a year because he wanted to get away from the colony for a while. I didn't charge him any rent because he was always willing to help me do farm work.

      Umm...their children often run off the colony. So yea, they still have that worry. Only difference is they SHUN them if they refuse to come back. All the jobs are assigned and there is nepotism and favoritism just like in any other corrupt society. There is also spousal and child abuse just like anywhere else. Only difference is the victims are not empowered to assert their rights and humanity.

      They're quite similar, and both groups have conservative sects and more liberal ones. Some Amish even use modern industrial machinery and tech for business. Both try to avoid bringing it into the home. A main difference is Hutterites live communally and don't own personal property; they're more collectivist than the Amish, who live on family farms.

    Hutterites looks to be a very liberal community as compared to say the Amish and many Mennonite groups. That is a shame because history has shown that communities that progress down that path tend to lose in the end. This goes even for major religious groups like the Catholic and Baptist churches which are losing members in substantial numbers if not for migrants. Hutterites still have positive birth rate, but for how much longer? Wealth, liberalism tends to break down families and communities and separate them for their beliefs and traditions.

      Louisa Capell. Hutterites in Mexico? I’m a Hutterite and I’ve never heard of any Hutterites in Mexico. They’re probably a group of outside ppl that formed their own community and called themselves Hutterites. Real “Hutterites” are only scattered around in South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana, Oregon, Washington, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Also, not all Hutterite communities take in outside ppl. Only a few Colonies do that, and they aren’t classed as Hutterites in our group anymore.

When they are ready to return home theyre welcomed back with open arms. The number one misconception about the Hutterites is that they're forced to stay on the colony against their will.

Her path was pre-determined, and it was one of hard work and subservient attitude to men, plus a belief that she should marry and bear children and work for the colony good the rest of her life. No opportunity for self-expression, she said. She now has a good job and can CHOOSE to marry or not, and actually loves her life in the city.
