Have you heard of the Mennonites? They are an offshoot of the Amish (a sub-sect of Christianity that originates in Switzerland in the 1800s). Today, the Mennonites live in small communities around the Midwest, USA, as well as in Belize, Bolivia and other countries in Latin America. What's fascianting is that they live a completely isolated life without the use of internet, TV or music -- something that is almost impossible to comprehend in today's society.
Thanks to my friends Zach and Janki, I was able to get secret access into a Mennonite community in northern Wisconsin, where I was able to learn about their bizarre way of life. I was even invited into one of their homes for a meal, and it was an out-of-body experience, to say the least!
What do you think about the Mennonites? Do you agree or disagree with their way of life? I'd love to hear from you in the comments below!

Just out of curiosity, have you ever heard of Mennonites before watching this video? I really enjoyed telling this story and this year, I plan to share more stories about the lesser known communities in the USA 🇺🇸
In a family guy episode, yes. When their car breaks down and they end up in an Amish community and Peter makes a joke saying something like "By Mennonites", but I always thought Mennonites and Amish were the same.
Yep. There are some that live here. You see them in the stores. They shop at Walmart too. Tommy is from Ohio and used to the Amish so he was surprised to see the Mennonites out at the stores and restaurants here but we are used to it. I grew up Southern Baptist (my Dad was a Preacher) and we weren't allowed to wear pants or listen to secular music (think Duggars). When we flooded during hurricane Harvey, the Red Cross or FEMA were nowhere to be seen but the Mennonites showed up with plates of food and helped people clean up their flooded homes. Good people.
Some of my ancestors were Mennonites. Thanks for this video!
@@Flamableninja, Mennonite is a more modern version of Amish. Amish don’t have electricity or phone and they drive horse and buggy. They don’t indulge in any modern lifestyle or have modern amenities. Mennonites drive cars and have electricity, but like the Amish, the don’t have internet or watch television
Knew about it from "breaking amish" reality tv show where amish/mennonites moves to New York
Where I live in Canada, I'm surrounded by Mennonites. They are the kindest and hardworking people I've ever met. I'm in Hvac and everytime I'm in a Mennonite house for work they always invite me to stay for dinner.
I’m in Canada too🤩🥰

Amazing !! Thanks for sharing!
You find them in the Chaco, Belize, Campeche etc
Which province do you live in ( I Live in Brampton, Ontario )
They aren’t “stuck” in the 1800’s. They live in the modern world according to their principles and beliefs.
Yea… he’s just trying to get views with that title… horrible title
Except the cars, electricity and agriculture/hunting. They live like in the 1800's. I mean they don't have wi-fi or tvs

😂😂😂 they need to get out that time zone. That's wild 😂😂
Answer this if they were muslim it would be radikal islamists but they christians its alright ?? Why we muslim are always the bad ones, bc our religion is the true one . Love God not idols
This is honestly better than living on my freaking phone all day. Good for them, i wish them the best.

I grew up a Mennonite and I am Nigerian. Yes I went to college and became a doctor, but I won’t trade my upbringing in the Mennonite faith for anything. It helped to equip me with principles that I still apply to my daily life. Thank you drew for this, when I saw the clip on IG I couldn’t help but come watch it here🎊🎊🍾🎉🎉🎉
I've never heard of that in Nigeria
We have such in Nigeria??
in Nigeria? what's the place called so we can look it up
@@someone_weird9you know you can be from anywhere and practice any religion right? You don't have to be from any specific place, culture etc.
Where in Nigeria 🇳🇬 did you live and grow up? I've never heard of any menolite community in Nigeria.
As an Orthodox Christian I find their community very interesting. The people seem so kind. I can see how someone would find fulfillment and comfort in their lifestyle. Love this video!
I am Orthodox as well! Peace upon you sister, what rite to you belong too?
Are you from Ethiopia? That's the only place I can think of that has black people and orthodox christianity lol
I find quite some things similar between myself (an Orthodox) and the mennonites
they are super kind!
@@MishaElRusitoI don’t think she is coz I can tell an Ethiopian when I see one lmao im Eritrean orthodox btw we’re pretty much the same with Ethiopians..I’m curious to know where’s she’s from coz as you said the only black orthodox I know are us Eritreans and Ethiopians
They seem like very deciplinced and humble people with good morals and values. Much respect. Ty for showing us this and keep up the great videos!
I grew up in a Mennonite community with connections to this community and recognized some folks. I'm very surprised they allowed you to film inside their church.
Why don't they allow to record inside the church?.
for me it looks like he was hiding a camera :D
@@piotrkmiecdo u rlly think he hide the camera 15:36 🤣
I'm Catholic (our parish is tiny). The Mennonites are some of the best people you will ever meet. I'm in a wheelchair, and they have built me, not one, but TWO handicapped ramps. The first one was built when I still used a walker, 15 years ago. Last year, now that I use a wheelchair, they came back and built a new ramp that is not as steep. They did this for free!! I only had to buy the lumber. The ladies came to visit with me, while the men worked on the ramp. They brought food as well. One of the ladies has adopted two black inner city girls. They are amazing people who truly live their Christianity.

In most Catholic churches there is no sense of community anymore. Most people just come to church , stick to themselves and go home. It was not that way in the Bible with Jesus. They can learn from these people.
@@TheBooty28 We can all learn from each other. God bless you.

Drew’s whole attitude has propped me up through family deaths, illness, moving. Early on, when he said “We are all the same,” I burst into tears, as I believe that, too.
I know no community is perfect. Nor is there always an ideal lifestyle. But the Mennonite for the most part have found a balance. They admit they have all the same struggles as the rest of us. Nicely done Drew and team.
Well said!

We have an incredible Mennonite and Amish community in Holmes County Ohio. The most honest hard working folks I’ve had the pleasure to work with. ✝️

About 4 months ago I received an invite to a Thanksgiving singing from some mennonites and was then invited to the Lena mennonite church and I have to say it was the most beautiful religious experience I ever had!! I have only missed church once since then (going twice a week and a Bible study once a week. I've never felt closer to God than I do now! I encourage everyone to experience this like I have and the singing literally makes you feel closer to God!! Soooo beautiful. I would like to thank God for putting these people In my life!

I'm an English teacher in France and I've used some of your videos in class, love your stuff!
Wow. Your students were so "tolerant" then.
Why so mad @@Yonisaj12
I respect the Mennonites, they are admirable for staying devoted to their beliefs and values that they cherish. Some people interpret this as boring and a mundane lifestyle, when in reality, it is a gifted culture these people live in. Mennonites are not like the general public always flocking to buy the latest products or living their lives on social media or getting involved in many wrongful acts, but they cherish and desire a simple life. That is what most of us forget. Love from Trinidad 🇹🇹❤🇺🇸
true
As someone who was born outside of the West, immigrated to it as a child and therefore grew up in the West but have seen life outside of it, now that I am 30 I am so done with living in this culture of decadence, selfishness, narcissism, and sinful behavior. I would quite gladly go and live as the Mennonites do or live among them. I have nothing but respect for the small groups of men and women around the world who live as humbly as they do.
And best of all... they aren't harming anyone else and are tolerant of other lifestyles. honestly zero reason to hate them
Love from Trinidad 🇹🇹🇹🇹
Yes, if all world living are equal like the Mennonite people then the world will be better for us all ❤
When i moved from asia to the US and went to college in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, it was the first time i’ve known about the Mennonites and they are the kindest people. I went to their church and the pastor even invited me over to his house for thanksgiving since i had no family around. Miss the good times spent with them.
Wow....great insight. These people are quite principled and genuinely nice. Bless their hearts and thank you for showing this.
As an African this is my first time hearing about them thanks to you 🤝 I'm blessed
Mennonite and Amish communities are very interesting. They're probably the hardest working people you'll ever find.

I do love your travels bro... But that was one of my best the way you recorded it on video you really respected their privacy... great job.
Good storytelling Drew. Fascinating to get a window in to one of these very secluded communities. God bless and lots of love from Norway...
DREW! i woke up today to the sound of this and NEEDED to watch it! you're the best at what you do 💗
i grew up in ohio amish is just a way of life around here. love it or hate it it aint going anywhere and its such a unique culture. im proud to say ive grown up with and congregated with the amish and mens my whole life
I went there for the fall and it was fun. Its beautiful down there during late October
Thanks for visiting this community and sharing about their way of life and faith without making light of their beliefs. Our family is very religious (not Mennonite) and my kids really enjoy your content. It was nice to have someone showcase Christian beliefs and traditional values without mocking or speaking negatively. God bless and safe travels!

Thank you so much Drew for doing this story!
They're not trapped, they the ones who escaped.
The wife is treated like a baby making cow and the only reason most of them accept their life is because it's all theyve ever known. It's an illusion of choice. They have no internet or computer skills, social skills, people skills, tolerance... no experience etc. So the ones that do escape, end up becoming addicts in real world. The communism thing they have going works well though.
Agreed!
Ignorance is Bliss proven
We will always support you, Drew. Keep working hard.

you did a wonderful job Mr.Drew, as always.🎉🎉 keep on thed good work and thank you so much.
I live in the middle of Vancouver Island and we have a good size Mennonite community here. Super quiet and generally nice people.
I learned more about them in the 17 minutes of this video than in the 15 years I have lived here. So thanks so much Drew!
So interesting!
I find these people fascinating. The first prepper's.
Thank you Drew.
Your point is valid but they are not even close to the first preppers.

@Mr8dhawiil Why copy and paste your comment 100 times, God bless you but you unfortunately have no point to make.
One of the nicest and warmest videos on your channel.
Can’t agree about college though. University is not all about income. It gives you the tools to analyze and see the bigger picture should the need arise.
Very educational video. Thank you again, Drew! I've got another group of people to do more research about. They are really nice i think and I admire their community.
I find this all a bit baffling, but they do seem very gentle and kind.. and that prayer when they sat down to eat, remembering there are hungry folks in the world and being thankful, really moved me for some reason ❤
It's intriguing to me, as a Dutch just like Menno Simons used to be, that these stems of religion dating back to the 16th century are still in place today, with no following back in the homeland. I notice a lot of shared values of how my father used to grow up back in the 60's in rural Eastern Netherlands: large families, being self-sufficient, belief, hard working, making the best of the land and a sense of down-to-earthness and being welcome. It seems like these communities across the world preserved, in a way, what farmer life in the Netherlands used to be like back in the day.
yes I agree- it's so bizarre!
Ja, eigenlijk wel jammer dat we niet meer zo leven. Ik zou het wel mooi vinden om op een gemeenschapsachtige manier te leven van de natuur en voor elkaar zorgen, daar is echt wel behoefte aan in onze individuele cultuur. Dat gezegd hebbende denk ik niet dat ik het vol zou houden bij hun, het is veel te strict wat mij betreft. Als ze lossere leefregels hadden zou het perfect zijn en ik interpreteer spiritualiteit en geloof ook anders. Aan de andere kant snap ik heel goed de angst dat hun levensstijl op houd te bestaan als het te vrij wordt. Jaren 1960 in Twente was dus een beetje dit ja? Nog wel kort geleden dan, is snel 180 graden gedraaid...
'Doopsgezinden' we say, but yeah, as they are so open-minded and integrated in society, they're under the radar.
@@drewbinskyhow is it bizzare? Its just different from your sheep like life
@@drewbinskyyou keep bra ding it bizzare? Why??? You are being very patronising and judgemental. I as an African find many of their ways relatable. Stop constantly calling other people's beliefs and ways of life as bizarre simply because they are not identical to your way of life.... Let them be.
I live in Sheboygan Wisconsin 1 hour south of Green Bay! I like seeing videos where people are in my state/area 😁 We all need to go back to living off of our land. Let's unhook ourselves from this crooked toxic system...it is possible! Thanx Drew for another great video. Love exploring different cultures through you and your channel 💖
Love Sheboygan!!!!!
@@drewbinskywhereabouts is this Mennonite community if I may ask? I also live near Green Bay. Thanks.
That family who hosted you, sing very beautifully. ❤
Watching from South Africa. I'm inspired 💯
Me too! 🇿🇦🇿🇦
I have family in PA and there was a Mennonite family across the street from my grandma's house in a subdivision. I never interacted with them, just a wave if I caught one of them outside so I don't know about their life. Your video is very interesting and I think that as with the Amish, there are variations within the Mennonite religion. For example, the family I had seen had three children and didn't live on a farm. Thank you for continuing to showcase tribes of humanity that most of us have no knowledge of!
Great video, Drew. Really enjoyed this one. Always fascinating to see how other communities live.
More to come!
Thank you very much for knowledge and good community people living
I love this ,so peaceful
One thing I give them credit for is that don’t try to push their beliefs on anyone. They have a live and let live attitude. At least for those outside the group. I feel bad for people within the group who may be gay or curious about the world because they’ll be ostracized from family and friends
Agreed !!
Nobody is naturally gay, you have to be influenced. They're safe
@@johnkim8690My god the level of ignorance people still have. It’s painful and embarrassing. Did you make a choice to be straight or be influenced to be straight? No, so don’t speak for people in the lgbt+, myself included, who never ever made a decision or choice. Always was this way and always will be.
@@johnkim8690 So true. I'm a Mennonite and we don't have gay people because we don't believe in gays and also we're too busy working.
Anyone who’s gay should be ashamed and abandoned by their family
As an African I feel very connected to this way of life and most of their religious beliefs.
There are Mennonites in Africa as well!
Like bruh black people are banned
"I agree" - 👴🏻
This is probably one of the best videos, definitely in my top 3 of your vids! Love it
Your content is too freaking awesome!! the stories you tellnhere are so amazing and you talk about things no one else dors on the travel youtube industry!!
"Without the internet life can get pretty boring?' So until the advent of the internet, everybody was just bored throughout history? LO. L

Kinda yeah. Lol Imo, one of the things kids today miss out on is learning how to be bored.
What all we need i noticed from This Video is Drews attitude towards the people he meets...
The just absorbs and never questions the ideals of the people he meet, in this video or everywhere he goes.
U dont have to like every Available ideal out there, just dont come off hating whatever is against your ideals, thats when people can learn from you
I love learning about different people lifestyles. Welldone 👏💪
Such nice people... you can feel their warmth... ♡
I'm ethnically Mennonite! My family is from the Dutch Mennonite line. The Mennonites in this video are from the Swiss Mennonite line. But we still share a lot of the same beliefs, even if we now live different lifestyles.
id love to be part of this community, theyre just living a simple life
watching all the way from Fiji, GOD BLESS❤
❤ I am always interested in different ways of life. Great job Drew❤❤
The community and self-sufficiency is lovely!!! 💖💚💙 Rock on Mennonites!!! Basically every day is full of togetherness, every night is a sleepover, and REAL food is being cultivated and crafted, lovingly prepared and shared. They definitely have some of the most important things fully enshrined and in living practice. What a great episode Drew!
Drew you earned a new subscriber from kenya
Dear Drew. Thank you very much for this respectful video. Greetings from North Germany. In our Area we have some very liberal Mennonite Churches. Dieing churches, mostly old people. In other areas we have different groups. Many came frome Russia the last 40 years and they are very conservative. Others came von Paraguay. Best wishes and greetings.
Wow this such a great vlog! We can all take something from this great community ❤
I stayed with a Mennonite family down in Filadelfia, Paraguay. Very different than the Mennonites in this video and Pennsylvania where I went to university. They used internet because I booked through AirBnB and were a bit more modern but super nice and hard working. It was a great experience.
as a Muslim, I am glad to see religious Christians, as its get rare day after day
keep Believing in God my brothers and sisters in faith🌹❤️
We are all brothers and sisters in the sense that God created all of us.
But Jesus is the name that every knee will bend to, as He is the Lord of the universe and of salvation of lost souls. Jesus Himself said "I'm the way the truth and the life nobody comes to the Father except through Me". Come join us brother, we love you!
I agree. Traditionally most Christians are supposed to be like this but we have become a bit too liberal and secular. Muslims need to understand that Western does not equal Christian. Most Westerners are Christiand by history only but do not practice so strictly are not Christian. I think often Muslims do not recognise this and have wrong perceptions of Christianity.
Blessing and grace to you all
Just excellent, Drew. As usual, I learned so much.
Whoa!! This is quite something!! I met this very group last month (I recognized most in the video). They live like 45 minutes from here. I have lived up here for a little over a year and didn't know there were any Mennonites around
Great video! Maybe you could do a video on a Native American tribe? That would be super interesting too
I like the calm attitudes they all have. Good video
This was great Drew! What a cool look into their community.
Another Drew Binsky banger! I'm in southern Wisconsin and honestly I had no idea northern WI had this population. I thought it was mostly Pennsylvania or Wyoming or some part of New England. Those shelves of pickled things has my mouth absolutely watering. You know those taste amazing. Anyway this community seems so nice and humble and I loved the video. Thanks for the awesome entertainment :D
Thanks for watching! Go badgers !
@@drewbinsky GO PACKERS!
I’m from northern Illinois, never knew what Mennonite was until I moved to Arkansas. They are hardworking people, very quiet, and respectful.
Good morning, there is a group in Brodhead Wisconsin that you could visit their church if you were interested. It's called Pleasant View Mennonite Church. If you MapQuest it will show up. Have a blessed day!
PS their church service starts at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays. If you just showed up I can pretty much guarantee someone's going to ask you if you would like to come over for lunch and the afternoon for visiting.
This is what it looks like when a community works together instead of be forced to compete with each other for somebody else profit motives.
Thanks drew for your nice video making i have been watching you for 4years
This was a wonderful video. Thank you.
This is so nostalgic and adorable to see a community like this! 🥰💙
As a Muslim I find Mennonites people very interesting I respect how strict they are and we share a lot of similarities
Please do not destroy their belief, just a respect don't go there. Muslim should leave them alone.

Great vlog Drew. Really interesting. Great and genuine people.
Amazing video drew ! Thank you so much 😊😊😊😊
When I lived in Southern Missouri you ALWAYS took your shoes off inside your home or someone else's home. I never encountered any Mennonites, but they seem like decent and good hearted people to be around. Thanks for the video!
I’ve lived in SW Missouri never did see any, but if you go further south into Arkansas there’s a big community of Mennonites.
Drew, fantastic video. I had indeed heard of them before and I have also seen them where I live (Canada). They are such humble people, I have nothing but admiration for the way they live and raise their children.
Another awesome youtuber/travel documentarian is Peter Santenello who has done an extensive series on Mennonites/Beachy Amish and other Amish sects such as the Schwarzentruber. Go check out his work, I highly recommend his channel. I love your channel though Drew, you are a rare gem of a person. You seem like someone who won't take things for granted.
Thank you so much! I love Peter !
This is a great introductory video to anabaptist religions. You make some very broad generalizations, however, with some of your facts. Rules in Amish, Mennonite, and Hutterite (and any smaller break away groups) communities are going to vary, sometimes greatly, from community to community. It was a very great video of this particular group, though, great job. ❤
Beautiful eye opening video
I am a Mennonite from Michigan. There are thousands of different kinds of Mennonite and I have yet to see someone realize that and not misrepresent them.
Ha, same thoughts I have. I'm from Belize and we're almost more technologically advanced than the world around us.
Thank you for these type of videos where you show different cultures and religions. This type of content is like a education in entertaining way, broadens our views.
This was amazing thank you drew for the videos! I love binge watching your videos!! Even the ones I watched already
Love the videos, man. Keep it up!!!
Great video. I have great respect for these communities, live and let live. I'd like to point out though that these people are driving cars and have electricity, so not exactly living in the 1800's.
The problem is that they don’t often have a live and let live mentality when it comes to those that leave their community. Shunning is encouraged and very common
If it's biblical then there are not in error, if it's not biblical then it's called into question.@@coldwar45
I've watched multiple videos about Mennonites and Amish in the past, but it's still interesting to me and I wanna see more. The simplicity of their lifestyle is pretty attractive for the modern people whose lifestyles are so hectic and busy and you always want do go-go-go. And the nature is so beautiful up there! Fall is my favorite season, so seeing the colorful trees and the sunlight was such a treat for the eyes 😂❤️
Thks for sharing
As a Muslim from a religious background, I found so much similarities with Orthodox Jews and Orthodox Christians. How they carry themselves, their personal relationship with God, mannerisms, tight knit families and alot other than I can't find the word for. Peace to all People of The Book! God bless
Ps: maybe it's the large family dynamic 🤔
Please don't draw similarities when there are none!! These Mennonites have not spread carnage around the world! You don't see refugees desperately trying to escape their countries and filling up Europe! It is insulting to them!! They are Christians! They don't claim to be peaceful, they ARE peaceful. Always, living in their own reality just like they are the 'peaceful' community...Yeah right!! No place in the world is safe.....
My Spanish teacher has played one of your videos for the class once! Love your videos Drew!
Tell your Spanish class hi!
@@drewbinsky Thank you!
I love this community. Makes me feel like i need to do something about my spiritual life
Wow.. Thank you Drew
As much as i love traveling outside of the country it’s always nice to explore more parts of the US. It really is a gorgeous and diverse country
Great video! Yes, I have heard of them. I rode a bike century once out of Harrisonburg, VA, where there is a large community of Mennonites. During the last 10 miles we rode through farms where they only use horses and buggies, much like the Amish. There is actually a pretty wide disparity on amount of technology different enclaves will use. Even in Harrisonburg they range from horse and buggie and no electricity (much like the Amish) to cars, tractors and electricity. My understanding is they still won't drive flashy cars, so think black pickup truck or minivan as opposed to red Corvette. They were all incredibly friendly and said hi and waved as we went through. And those farms were just immaculately clean!
Also, I think there are quite different beliefs on college education among different communities. Eastern Mennonite University is located in Harrisonburg. Back in the 1980's, my mother had a good friend she worked with who was an RN and her family were practicing Mennonites. I also once met a woman who was a physician and a practicing Mennonite. I'm pretty sure all true Mennonites might reject more "worldly" higher degrees, but I think professions geared towards helping others like medicine are generally O.K. Also, you may not follow cycling, and this may bring up a bad example, but former pro cyclist Floyd Landis grew up Mennonite (the guy who won the 2006 Tour and was disqualified for doping). I think like the Amish, some of them have a Rumspring as an adult (basically living out in the world) and then decide whether the faith is for them and either return or don't. He was one of the ones that didn't. But apparently, you are still accepted by your family if you follow those rules even if you choose to leave the faith. It's the ones who decide to live the life and later change their minds, or don't walk the walk that get in outs with the community or their families.
I find all of the different German Baptist sects captivating (Amish, Mennonite, Quakers, etc.), and have a deep respect for their high standards and conviction. I'll watch with great interest all the videos you wish to do on any of them!

Great job Drew
Between the craftsmanship in their home, the meticulous canning, ornate quilts, and extensive livestock I am completely awed by their self-sufficiency and work ethic. What a beautiful group of people.
Drew please explore the northeastern parts of India like Assam, Karbi Anglong, Mizoram, etc.
My grandpa lives in Central Ohio and lives near a lot of Amish and Mennonites. Every time I head out there I’m guaranteed to see at least one horse and buggy. I haven’t seen a lot of Amish Churches but I’ve seen a lot of Mennonite Churches. It’s definitely a unique experience to see their lifestyle in person.
The Amish don't have churches, they gather for their services in each others homes.
Amish do at home services that’s why you don’t see Amish churches
That explains a lot!!!
