- In this colorful, award-winning PBS documentary, Mennonite historian John Ruth takes us sympathetically into the Amish mindset. An updated look at Amish origins, beliefs, farm life, childhood, school, worship, recreation, courtship, horse transportation, barn-raising, land pressures and cottage industry.
The Amish continue to intrigue their technology-current neighbors by keeping alive ways and beliefs that many modern Americans regard as irretrievably lost to progress. In this colorful, award-winning documentary, newly revised and augmented, Mennonite historian John L. Ruth takes us sympathetically into the Amish mindset. Appreciative neighbors, a well-known physician, an artist, and respected scholar John A. Hostetler, author of Amish Society, provide insightful commentary on the survival of an alternative to the kind of world we have made. As the Amish increase exponentially in numbers, some migrate toward more open farmland. Those staying in centuries-old communities where the land is too crowded to farm have developed an amazing variety of cottage industries. But all changes are made very carefully, in order not to undermine the spiritual covenant and community.
Director: Burton Buller, Jay Ruth
Starring: John L. Ruth, John A. Hostettler, Harley Wagler - Zábava
The Amish will ALWAYS be self sufficient. We could learn a valuable survival skills from them. Much respect.
They are self sufficient, but they do not properly follow the laws of the true God. Yes, they separate themselves physically, but it take more than that. The scripture says, "Faith without works are dead." That is something I have to work more on.
Actually they’re becoming more and more dependent on English tourists to make money because land is too expensive now and they’re population doubles every 20 years. There’s a good documentary on Amazon about how they’re adapting to survive. Only 10% are farmers now. Sadly.
Actually the get a lot from the outside World .. I have spread lime on many Amish Farms with a Modern Trucks with pnematic tires and a Loader.. Looks like this film is from the early 1970's .. They will always hitch a ride in your car to town .. The Fly commercail take buses and trains ect..
As far as food goes however,, they do raise most of what they eat ect..
Totally!
@@Ang.0910 what is the documentary called?
Yes, they will do business with the world! Don’t underestimate them. They might look naive to outsiders, but they’re pretty shrewd and can really stretch a dollar! One of the best business persons I know was a 40 something Amishwoman. She made herself a small fortune and spent most of it helping people with medical and emergency needs.
Jesus taught His followers to be shrewd
The ones i know only help their selves.i met a Amish family that was struggling to make a living and was on starvation my church family made up for them gave them food untill their bussines got started.they finally got on their feet and was able to make a good living they had 16 children all are doing well today .but it was the English that helped them get on their feet not The other Amish.
@@mattiekerr9684 Were they in good standing in their own church? In a few places they do go overboard with shunning. But I know of no Amish who’d allow children to go hungry because the parent(s) overstepped the religious bounds. In fact, if anyone is in need of the basics of life, it is commanded to provide for them, even if they are your worst enemy.
@@mattiekerr9684 your experiance goes very counter to my own 50 years amish and pa dutch experiance. understanding that amish is very decentralizeed you may have seen or experianced some individualized event
I grew up in Lancaster county. Moved to Texas when I was 20. I miss the food, the rolling hills, the Amish farm stands. Watching this brought back memories!
Their life, just same with people life in my village 50years ago. That time our village just like heaven even family not having much money. They live with simple living. All comunity are family. I Miss world like that, where humanity full of khindnes.
Is you village in Africa, Sir? Soon paradise will be across earth for all who worship and trust the true God, Jehovah.

@@tinastv2071 me to o
Agreed
While I couldn't live them, I appreciate their way. We may all need to learn a thing or two from them very soon.
I'm living in New Holland, PA for more than 20 years..I like and admire the Amish people...They're honest and hard working..
As a foreign resident doctor in Pennsylvania having arrived in USA for just four months, I came face to face with this unique people. Their simple way of life, rooted to nature and God shunning greed and personal agrandiosment, placing great value on family and community. The striking thing this beautiful documentary tells us that how Amish has accepted few modern additions to their lives bit by bits over the years, always keeping them at manageable levels and never allowing machines and progress to run away with peace and contentment of a well rooted community who knows how to live of the land simply and without any competition with fellow humans. There are lessons to be learnt here for all of us, with rampant social media use and advanced communication sure brings a lot of ease and convineance but collectively are we happier??. Technology and progress should always be there to help humans and not the other way round. At present this pace of progress has made the humans of this generation utter zombies who live to satisfy the demand of this faced paced existence rather than enrichment of their souls.
@radonpq99 Well said. Sabbatean-Frankists are going to use technology to enslave the world, a technocracy. I call it an electronic gulag. It's coming.
I have felt this in my heart all my life. Is it possible to become a member if I've lived a non Amish life for 43 years ?
@Radon 99, for someone being in the country for months you have near perfect English. I don’t want to call you a fraud BUT Please explain how your English is so good
@@hamlinhobbyist7507 same here, i wonder how we could join them? 🤔
@@franktrautman2092 They learn proper English in their home country without all the slang that we use here.
If there is any Wisdom in the world, it is with the Amish.
They rape women and girls.
They rape their own daughters and sisters.
One in six young women and girls as young as 5 are raped by family members.
I live in Lancaster County among these wonderful people. I admire and respect their lifestyle. God, Family and Community... in that order.
They are in fact not wonderful people. They are really no different than you or I. I have been here around them my entire life.
@@scothammond5736 Lol
Are they allowed to drink alcohol at age 21?
Where do they go on a date? Do they go to the secular world’s restaurants & movie houses, theme parks etc
Read Amish Deception by David E Yoder
they are hardworking people who respect the environment which does not pollute the planet who are believers I love their life and their patience and their courage thank you for opening our eyes god bless you all
They are Still a CULT!!
@@gailcurl8663 society is a cult! It expects you to conform to it's way of thinking!
They are literally the worst polluters in the world its like they are a mini China living in Lancaster County. The have devastated fish population by irresponsible chemical pesticide/herbicide use devastated the small game population by clearing massive amounts of habitat. Amish don't give a darn about the environment
@@scothammond5736 you and your device you’re using to hate on the Amish has caused 1000X more damage to the environment than the Amish have.
@@Honorablebenaiaha that's just not even a fact I can literally take to Amish houses and farms to show you the actual damage cause by individual Amish families. You obviously don't live amongst the Amish and you obviously know fuck all
I played with LOTS of Amish kids in the 70s. Always nice to me.
Lord shower your blessings on them to continue their traditions, togetherness, love, and devotion.
Lord let this family grow in abundance and in faith.
Thank you Lord for this families,
what an inspiration.
Bless them Lord.
I have been to LANCASTER, Pennsylvania twice. I fell in love with that place and how the Amish and Mennonites people live. To me, it is very AMAZING interesting and very exciting and very inspiring and very educational at the same time.
It is too bad that all of we CAN'T live together in total peace and help each others without charging them for our help.
One hand wash the other hand.
The Amish charge people for work done and make a business out of everything.
Did you know the Amish and Mennonite people are the same? They just split and separated themselves. There are Hattierities, but are sort of similar, but they drive 🚗 cars, use 📷 cameras and 📹 videos.
@@annielehnhardt_kolakowski5818 The Amish split off of an older Antibaptist church and followed Jacob Amon
Have you ever tried to buy an Amish made quilt? Ridiculously expensive. Maybe that's just the price for the non-Amish, I'm not sure. But money is definitely valued.
@@ginapapetti2894 have you ever made a quilt as fine nd beautiful? It takes months and months! By hand mostly.

What a lovely way of life. We have a great deal to learn from these wonderful people 💜
I like and admire the Amish.
I don't suggest we try to emulate their lifestyle - we probably couldn't at this stage - but they can glean valuable lessons from it. Their way of life makes more sense than ours with all the dysfunctionality we see around us.
They are self sufficient no need for a big government very healthy mental and physically Kudos for them
what a lovely video, thank you. if everybody live the way amish did, we would not have the problems we are having now.
Christianity has been in decline for a long time.
Rape and incest are serious issues in the Amish communities. A fellow was just arrested here some months back for something like 100s of counts of rape on 3 girls who were very young at the time and related to him but yeah sure we should live like them
Scott Hammond with one T was rejected by an Amish girl LOL
That have done many studies that show the Amish are the happiest and content of all Americans.
Can you provide links to these studies?
How was the measurement accomplished?
That is 100% bullshit as in you are full of it no such studies exist. In fact here in lancaster County they have many Amish mental heath homes where they "store" the mentality Ill. I know one Amishman was an alcoholic he was in 12 different places because of depression I also know several who are on lithium and zoloft
@@scothammond5736 You one crazy dude
@@russelltackett4779 I'm not kidding tho the Amish of Lancaster County have real problems man
I admire the careful, intelligent, and respectful job done by the producers of this documentary. The result is an educational and beautifully crafted hour of film.
Das kann ich nur bestätigen!
@@anniruba9751gf,)
Imagine if the whole world live like that.
I'm always intrigued by these stories something draws me in to their stories just diffrent I'm still intrigued by their way of living
I'm glad you do but as for my estranged sister Constance Cassidy wants electricity but no one else in that house with except her and her daughter. How about victims of domestic violence, anxiety and depression. Including suffers from trauma.
I want to go to Lancaster soon. I got to calculate the time and funds.
The Amish in my community have started using solar panels in their homes. It natural by sun light. We shop at their grocery store very good buys good size building. They heated the store with wood stove in middle of store until the State maxes them remove it. Michigan 🤗
A beautiful and respectful documentary, thank you!
Thank you for sharing these insights into Amish living!
The only whites in America allowed to practice and preserve their traditions without being called racists. They are doing something right. Bless the Amish.
Lol they are not racist because they respect all people. They were intrical in the underground railroad. Maybe if other whites were not slavery they would have been looked upon favorably.
@@newaveride3396 you mean the brown Spanish they brought most yous here dont get it twisted sista.
@@newaveride3396 There is no evidence that the Amish were ever involved with the Underground Railroad. The Amish did NOT take part in the resistance at Christiana, PA in 1851.
@@yosemite735 lol t hey did. They even give tours on the underground railroad. Lol bet you didn't know there is even a black amish group.
@@newaveride3396 there is no black Amish group in lancaster County pa and the Amish weren't involved in the Underground Rail Road or the civil war but they also weren't involved in slavery because there weren't many Amish here at the time
Peaceful life, real home cooked meals, respectful mannered people, no technology....just simple peaceful country life... I'd try it out a week and fall in love.
You can also try to be a hobbit
Smart mouth
I have lived close to the Amish Aria~~They are great people~~ May God continue to bless their way of life!! There is an old saying that at an auction, When the an Amish man quits bidding, you have paid too much!!
I was very blessed to have grown up in a school that taught us love, respect, responsibility to self and all around us, independence and God above all. Just like the Armish way of life. Such a blessing.
Yes to grow up in family with strong values and believes in respect and with God and order is a blessing and to be grateful for

What a beautiful and interesting documentary.
For me as a Swiss (raised and living in Switzerland) it's like looking back at a part of my ancestors. I can even understand most of their dialect. Amazing.
Sure you understand everything
@@1lowtrade Who said "everything"?
im not amish but i beleave the amish way
Like using the internet?
Jimmy darling, too need to be shunned getting your family now because you used the internet 😭💅
@@iszychurch4711 no not realy you wounent understan
What way would that be Jimmy? The way where kids get raped, animals abused, trees and creeks destroyed and polluted, bathing only once a week, not being allowed to read the Bible, following rules that aren't in the Bible that you aren't allowed to read, I'm guessing you know fuck all about the Amish way dude.
@@scothammond5736 Lol
We need to ensure that in the US and here in the UK we can continue to allow those with different ways of life which do not interfere with others can continue to be different, where a variety of views are allowed and where cancel culture ceases to exist.
Well said.
The closest you can get to being in Little House on the Prairie. Just look at that schoolhouse. Love it.
funny I thought of that too
😂🤣 Little House on the Prairie. Love it!
Good point.🙏🙏🙏
Was great to watch. I bought entire series in DVD for my children to watch.
This might sound weird... Remember Escape From LA? The ending? The Amish would survive, and they would open their life’s to everyone. Showing us we can live and survive as they have.
If we all followed their rules, we would be better people. IMO
The Amish are a great people good workers more people should follow them.
😇😇😇
Tha Amish kow how to live off the land so when our lights go off one day soon
what will we do cause we never knew how to live off the land. God have mercy on all of us.
Wrong they the Amish have lots of solar panels. Guess what the have electricity 🙃
When the lights go off and evil people start looking for food , they will most likely be invaded , their food stolen or maybe even killed .
@@nowandthennn The good people need to get to the food first to defend the food supply from the evil people.
They remind me of “The Little House on the Prairie”
that's how we all are supposed to live
My parents were the first family in our catholic family to have a catholic mass in our home .. it was such a beautiful loving experience and it became a habit when my mom had cancer and couldn’t come to church with us so,e of my fondest memories surrounded by family and loving friends I did the singing because I majored in music and had a beautiful voice .. I love looking back on those memories
This video is about the Amish way of life. Not catholicism
@@aaronausher8588 Probably accidentally had the wrong video up while typing.
Thank you very much for the opportunity to share in this way of life, it has a great deal to commend it as against much of the 21st century - I have valued this very much
i shopped at amnish store,,,very nice,,high quality,,nice shops,,treated me well...syore was public...i think amish have some really good ways....
I love the Amish people and had the opportunity to buy delicious cookies, cheese and goodies. God bless this wonderful community.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
BEAUTIFUL EXISTENCE.
I am guessing a whole lot of Americans envy their less stressful and less complicated and close community and family way of life with strong values and church discipline.
What we have lost is beyond life style. From Renausance to modern day, 1950s to be precise, everything is gone. From 50s to now, 70 years, can you find anyone significant enough to make it to the history book? In science, in technology, art, music, literature.
@@seanleith5312 What are you even writing about? Does your comment have any significance? Give it another go. That sounds like something a professor in sociology might say.
What? Women being told what to do and to not have freedom? What about LGBTQ+ people. They would definitely be shunned
@@iszychurch4711 What does God's law say about those types? Would you like me to tell you?
@@iszychurch4711 Those alphabetical people should all go to hell.
THE AMISH ARE VERY GOOD AT EVERTHING THEY DO.THEY VERY HUMBLE PEOPLE.GOD BLESS THEM ALL.
takes me to a happy place these sorts of movies
I would love to live with the Amish not so sure about some of their religious practices “I am a Christian though“ but there’s sense of family togetherness and their work ethic is unbelievable, the way they care for each other. I’m not a victimBut I’m at 60 year old man that lives alone in a one bedroom apartment and sometimes it can be frustrating, but life goes on.
I hear and understand you. I'm just like you. And the Amish wouldn't accept you or me. Because we are unmarried. There not welcoming.
I love the Amish. No one in their community got Covid because they don’t watch TV! 😂 Try their non gmo popcorn. It’s fantastic! Always good to support great folks and their products that are grown with peace & care.
A representative of a major popcorn processing plant told me that there is no popcorn that is genetically modified. Practically all the farmers around here grow that Roundup Ready corn. I don't know that there is any popcorn resistant to glyphosate chemical.
I do hope you are just kidding about them NOT getting covid because you would be oh so very wrong if you think this is so. Research your ignorance before posting it. It would be greatly appreciated. thanks.
@@christieboe5289 research. Um explain how you research. Is it google. Bah. Too much tv university learning is ruining practicle skills and logic for 100 years. What country or automated computer are you communicating from? Not that i truly care.
In the Amish community i live in they got covid and a few died .you live under a rock with blinders on ????
Well done! Very respectful!
I have a lot of respect for their work ethic and business sense. Also admirable is how they are able to retain their traditions despite outside influences and technology. At least this is how it appears on the surface anyway.
God richly bless the Amish!
AMEN.🙏🙏🙏
Watching this makes me understand why I’m so miserable living the way I do.
We all need God in our lives . . . He helps to fill a void in our hearts than nothing or no one else really can. . . today everything is too easy . . . we use and depend on way too much technology . . . technology for many has become a god rather than just an aid . . . our day to day lives need simplifying rather than more digitalising . . . maybe we could all try ZERO TECHNOLOGY FOR A DAY each week . . . our phones, computers etc will thank us!! Lol!
@@onlytruth4me915 no electric bills, not buying fuel, no phone bills, no insurance for cars, no maintainance for the car, taxes for the car, no internet, no air condition, no TV... We actually pay a huge price for our modern way of living compared to the Amish. We have much more expenses and we make more pollution, we live unhealthier and more stressed in order to live or survive. Capitalism made us all slaves of the system.
@@munzurharck368 well noted!
A very interesting and informative presentation. Thanks for posting and stay safe 🙏
thank you for bringing this to the foreground....
This should be called the story of true conservatism these people conserved what was good and throughout the brainless liberalized thinking that’s why they’re successful plus the fact they have a serious relationship with the Almighty
They have such a serious relationship with the almighty that they are forbidden to read the Bible. You have 0 clue what you are talking about just like the rest of the country who doesn't have to live with these ppl
@@scothammond5736 you obviously do not know any Amish the ones I know know the Bible inside and out and backwards just happens to be in German ,but maybe you’re just making up stuff that you got nothing better to do. Typical liberal talks out of his rectum.
@@Mike-hr6jz you are full of shit dude. For 1 thing Amish don't speak German the speak Pennsylvania Dutch but the Bible they get read to from is in high German they are not allowed to own a personal Bible and they can't read the Bible printed in English. Talk about a typical liberal talking out of his. I've been to Amish functions funerals, weddings and I've been invited to watch a church service when my neighbor had church at his place. I have worked with and been socially involved with Amish my entire life. You have a romanticized view of them from TV I have a real view of them from my own life. About 10 years back there was an Amishmen in Ronks who was Shunned for owning a KJV Bible and telling other Amish that they've been practicing the faith wrong. He was a good man and a strong Christian. You know nothing
@@scothammond5736 you obviously do not know what you are talking about. I live near Lebannon County Pennsylvania. They have tons of bibles, and they are in Old German dialect. They go by a saying called JOY. Jesus first, others second, yourself last.
@@Mike-hr6jz watch breaking the silence series. You will see the Amish preacher who was banned because he started reading the bible
They are living the real American dream! I think more people would like to live like them instead of modern world and its endless problems. No electric bills, not buying fuel, no phone bills, no insurance for cars, no maintainance for the cars, taxes for the cars, no internet, no air condition, no TV... We actually pay a huge price for our modern way of life compared to the Amish. We have much more expenses and we make more pollution, we live unhealthier and more we're more stressed in order to live or survive. Capitalism made us all slaves of the system.
A way of life with minimal stress and corruption..
Yes although there is a struggle for power even inside their group. No one is immune to greed & power. Didn't you see Amish mafia?? Nuff said.
No cought they have other issues to contend with, nothing is perfect.
Sorry, 'doubt'.
If they lived anywhere with real weather, their lives would be extremely stressful.
Ethel Wolf that’s why they moved to places like Belize Tropical great for growing crops I’ve never heard of Amish living in places like Alaska not as a community anyway
What a wonder community of people. The fast paste world could learn a lot from these people about what is really important in life and how to live. When the world grid goes down they may not even notice it.
They have the best pure, clean, healthy food there is.
Lol
Good, hardworking people.
People..With GOOD MORAL VALUES..n GOD.¥
Thank you, gracia's.
I would love to go to America and visit the Amish People they live a lot better lives than we could ever imagine. I love that they live their life's without mobile phones the internet and cars wow that is some life to be living
I have been living like this for 10 yrs *
An excellent way to live....we should all live as the Amish. I have lead similar ways of life, yet nothing quite as in depth as this. A quality life that is not self absorbed. Basic education with hospitality for each other. What more do you need.

I learn and know God through this piculiar people, and even bless of the Holy Spirit of Christ. I love much of thier Spirit kind and humble. Jesus comes back to save them at this trouble time.
They will be the first to be saved!
How do you reach the world when you're so aloof from it? They disobey God's command by being so inclusive. I pray not that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. Paul went all over the place, go into all the world and preach the gospel, ect. For all of their virtues, mortality, humility, they disobey Christ's cheif command when he left to preach the gospel to all nations, and will give an account as to why they neglected Jesus's words, in this regard, it is indeed a great sin they continually commit with this lifestyle of other worldliness.
@@timothydodenhoff1068 that's true... but.... how many of us spend much time reaching the lost? Most Christians don't obey that. I wouldn't judge the Amish on that.
@Jeff rutt, As much as I like the Amish way of life, they Shun “Born-again believers” as we all know that “bishop” controls everything
I think so
I think the Amish have got it right living without electricity n modern technology. It's much better for the environment the way they live n I like that. Old fashion ways very wholesome xx
Not necessarily. Many run diesel generators to power up disposable batteries. Those generators are much more polluting to the air than being on the efficient power grid and the battery wastage is much more than the typical household which is also not good.
I love Amish farmers markets
I sometimes hear something they believe or do and because Im like that way or do those things I think hey I relate and do feel to far away from them.
Do feel or do not feel?
lovely video.
Loved the. video. Thank you
thanks for shaeing
At one point I wondered when Charles Ingalls would pop up.
I buy my supplies from the Amish community in Arthur, IL; about an hour away from me.
كم أحب الأميش❤❤❤ انهم أرقى البشر على كوكب الأرض، يحافظون على دينهم و عاداتهم و روابط الأسرة التي فقدها الغرب إلى الأبد
I respect these people a great deal. I wish I were half the adult they are.
I was Amish a good way to live yet more romantic looking in than being in and looking out
very interesting
It’s good to see them being able to live their way of life. I respect that. They take care of the land, it takes care of them. It makes me think of the Native Americans, who were force off their land, weren’t able to live their way of life or religion, took their hunting grounds from them. Their whole way of life was taken from them and are now living in poverty. So I’m happy for the Amish people that they are allowed to living their way, but you have greedy landowners who are looking at their land now. I say good luck w that. I feel for them. Old Native American proverb, “if you don’t take care of the land, it won’t take care of you”
Wonder video I grew up around Amish country and it brings back wonderful memories. The way God meant meant for it to be I am sure.
Godbless
They are not lazy, like lot of people that want everything free.
Love
They've known what many are coming coming to realise: the outside world isn't all its cracked up to be.... especially in these Last Days.
I sow the Amish first in Landcaster PA. Very interesting, cuz I’m a mennonite from Mexico.
Nice one
The Amish are everything hippy communes want to be but fail at
because hippies are communist, violent, druggies, who go to law school to purposely destroy the beacon of freedom in the world, America
@@nickcarducci3413 The hippies don't have family and disciplinary values to keep structure like the Amish do. They just want to sit around doing dope and making love all day.

Ich leibe Deutschland!! Von Amerika! I wanna go to Germany some day and see its beautiful culture, scenery, and cuisine!!🇺🇸❤🇩🇪
@@TheDarkSoul6660 I suppose Germany has a Christian culture and an anti-christian culture. The shift has occurred over time as it has here in America. The Amish are sticking to it.
@@jakebredthauer5100 not just America or Germany but Europe too, you got non religious and religious people all over, it's not surprising anymore, infact more n more are non religious, I am not religious, so I support atheists. Theres alot of atheism In Europe and America. I'm patiently waiting for religion to die so science can take over n we can evolve!!! But the preservation of the old world by amish is quite amazing and they have the right idea, living off the land, rely on themselves, dont use much technology, farm and do things with yout hands, promote hardworking people who take pride of heritage, family and good times. The amish are Welcoming and kind ppl, most would give u food on their table and give you friendly company. We should copy their examples of living Except the religious shit, that we can leave out but other than that its perfect.
Ironic that, watching a documentary about a peace loving religious community, they show an ad about gel blasters!
Amish communities could consider solar energy as an alternative
They use diesel generators
They do
No mortgage no car insurance no car finance brilliant
If anyone knows the name of the song that they're singing in the church during the opening of this video please drop me a note here. Thank you.

Hey, Hey, hey baby , hey .
Hard working simple people that have learned to live off the land and hold family above all except god, a bit like the rural people of Ireland 50 years ago how things have changed
I need to live communally..I see the value now of living and working together and how our new technology is seemingly bringing us to be more connected..but really it is false connections that alienate is because we have the comfort and luxury to choose what is easiest and most entertaining to ego. I'm not Christian..but my heritage is Mennonite just like some are Ukranian or German etc..I didn't go to church etc. And I didn't think I would believe in Bible as the only authority on how to live...but like I said..I would love to live communally with spiritually minded people with a lot of similar lifestyle and philosophy approaches that the Amish is this film represents. Especially the value of family friends neiboirs etc, controlling your own pace and cadence of life, and staying connected to the natural world
All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino
