  • There are 4 groups of Old Order Mennonites or Horse and Buggy Mennonites that live in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. They are the Groffdale, Stauffer, Reidnebach, and Noah Hoover Groups. (Since this video was created the members of the Noah Hoover group have started to move away to another settlement. They weren't able to establish a settlement in the area) They are nicknamed the Wenger, Pike, and the 35ers respectively. The Noah Hoover group hasn't a nickname. Among these major groups there are split off groups that would be classified as the main group. They live an Old Order life much as the Amish in Lancaster County do. The video will further explain the differences and similarities.

    My mom's side of the family were Quakers that came with Wm Penn in 1862, settled in Bucks Co and later what became Cecil Co. Md. after the Mason Dixon line was made. I like seeing the ram working , my Grandfather had one till they got electric in 1937. My Grandfather and uncle sold their dairy herd @ 1960 , and just grew crops that my uncle sold at the hay auctions.

    Enjoy your videos, we have Brethren relatives in Lancaster Co.. However, with all the good recordings of Old Mennonite singing out there, I would think it would be more fitting to have that music as background music for these videos instead of the worldly sounding music you play.

    • @LancoAmish
      @LancoAmish  Рік тому

      Thanks for watching and the suggestion. Most music is copyrighted and is illegal to use in my videos. I’d have to be able to purchase a usage license to use copyrighted music. The music I use is licensed. If I were to use copyrighted music 3 times I get banned from UA-cam. I can’t take the chance.

    I have worked with Amish, Old Order Mennonites and Conservative Mennonites. In our area the Conservative Mennonites drive cars, pickups, tractors, use cell phones and computers and the Old Order Mennonites are as in this video. The Amish here are horse power, no electricity and homes without any decoration or conveniences. There is big difference between the three groups.
    One thing I have never had any of them ask me about or question my choice of religion and none of them have ever talked to me about their religion.

    The Bible tells us that following rules, rituals and traditions and church rule can never get one to heaven. Trying to do good is admirable but the only way to heaven is by faith in Jesus apart from all works. Jesus said if you are trying to get to heaven by works and by the law that you are cursed because cursed is everyone who tries to get to heaven by the law and doesn't keep the whole law. Mankind breaks the law everyday and cannot keep the law. Jesus kept the law 100% and when we trust Him, totally apart of our doing or works, we are born again. Jesus imputes His righteousness to us and it says we now have a better stronger law written on our hearts. Many will think they are saved by trying to follow church or doing good works and completely miss the free gift of salvation given to those who believe in Him

    • @LancoAmish

      Most certainly. Good works are an indication of one’s salvation (gratitude) and not a prerequisite for salvation. Thanks for watching and leaving the great explanation.

    • @LancoAmish
      @LancoAmish  Рік тому

      That is using water power to provide the power to pump a “cucumber” water pump away from the stream possibly at the house. A tight wire transfers the power.

      @LancoAmish  Рік тому +1

      As it was explained to me…anything with steering and the ability to travel with has steel wheels. Rubber is ok on wagons and implements. It’s to keep their community and families close knit. It’s a choice they’ve made as a church.

    • @LancoAmish
      @LancoAmish  Рік тому

      They reject it because it would make the tractor too convenient to use as a mode of transportation and possibly cause strain to the important family and community cohesiveness. It has little or nothing to do with what God provides or doesn’t provide. It’s the same reason they use horse and buggy. As the rest of society yearns for community the Amish and Mennonites both have that community.

      More than that: they're a brand. Nothing what they claim they are. Most don't grow the food they display on their stands, but rather buy them from the auction. They are rude beyond repair (not all, but many), quite shrewd business people, and the men are disrespectful to women.
