Mennonites, an ultra-conservative Christian community

Similar to the Amish, the Mennonites, an ultra-conservative Christian community, vehemently reject the trappings of modern society, choosing instead to embrace a life frozen in the 19th century. The majority of Mennonites reside in self-sufficient colonies, deliberately isolating themselves to shield against the temptations of the contemporary world. Now, breaking from their tradition of seclusion, one such community has granted access to our cameras.
Upon entering the colony of Little Belize in South America, it becomes evident that time has come to a standstill. Residents traverse the area in horse-drawn carriages, conversing in Plattdeutsch, an ancient German dialect. However, even within this seemingly untouched enclave, external influences are making inroads. Wilhelm, the former community doctor, faced expulsion for possessing a mobile phone, reflecting concerns about the encroachment of the outside world. Fearing contamination, traditional members like Abram and his family embark on establishing a new, even more secluded colony in the jungles of Peru, striving to uphold their original doctrines.
We accompany them on their exodus, providing an unprecedented glimpse into the enigmatic world of the Mennonites as they navigate the delicate balance between preserving their traditions and confronting the inevitable influences of the changing times.

[@coryrain]

My grandparents lived next to a Mennonite family. They were the sweetest people. We played with the kids when we visited. They loved basketball! They really help my grandparents with a lot of things. When grandpa passed they took care of grandma until she moved up north with us. Rare to have neighbors like that today.

This is really kind of amazing. We have a mennonite community here in my german hometown too - but their life is far from anything comparable. Compared to the community in the video their life seems modern, almost average. To be honest, I have my problems with the idea of western people settling in the Amazon. Because this is the ancient way of colonization and the destruction of the Rain Forest is one of the greatest threats to native peoples and human kind as a whole, since this is the green lung of the world and so important with regards to climate aspects.

Education of what? actually...? Is that whole think, called academic knowledge useful for anything worthy? If I can speak 4 languages, what can I really say? Sometimes nothing, and sometimes there is nobody, who wants to listen to me. Everyone is busy. That is our modern happy world looks like. No friends, no healthy food, no big families, no love...

They're being educated. Just not in the way YOU want.

There are alot of Mennonites in the states of Chihuahua and Durango Mexico. Been there for year's. The Mennonites are some hard working people. They own alot of land and big factories they are really rich. Also they make some good cheese! 🧀

I met those people once in Chihuahua with my boys.

[@lizzerdlegz2732]

Their cheese is so gooood. We always bring back menonite cheese from Durango to the US.

Бог говорит не упиваться вином, не быть пьяницей, потому что от вина бывает распутство. Но Он не говорит не пить вино вообще. Напиться и выпить немного для веселия сердца - это разные вещи.

What are the main differences with the Amish? Someone knows some good stuff about it?

[@jakeboldt3684]

Most of the Amish don’t have hydro and don’t drive vehicles, and the men have beards. Most Mennonites have hydro, drive vehicles and taught against having beards. That pretty much sums it up.

[@eddisontollett8845]

The clothes and the doctrine are different.

Меня удивило количество пластика и потребностях в вещах "современных". Всю посуду можно изготовить из дерева, если такого нет - из глины. Матрасы из соломы или пуха/перьев. Самостоятельно делать ткани из крапивы, льна, хлопка и тд. Лекарства из трав и тд, а не таблетки из аптеки. Хоть они и живут по старым принципам, но как будто бы не правильно

They use glasses, doctors... and patterns on fabric is made by some "artists" on some electric machine. They also fly planes, use money... It's actually so ironic to me.. They actually rely on inventions of modern the world and its knowledge and education, but at the same time, they reject their own education and technology...If world would look like they are imagining.. we would never go above invention of the wheel... Glasses wouldn't be possible to invent or doctors to exist by reading the Bible all day long.... 😂

Sorry, but "Plattdeutsch" isn't only used by the Mennonites, it's a dialekt spoken by some people in Northern Germany, a dialekt that in some aspects is really close to Dutch. It's a part of Northern Germanys Culture. It's just because most people speaking "Platt" can speak without the dialekt as well, that it's rarely justed for everyday commicantion.

Hey I'm x Mennonite and no they speak a different language and church life is different, but both do not teach the new birth Aka, born again, we left the church due to dead religion rules n regulations, basically trying to earn thier way in heaven, Amish speak a dialect called Pennsylvania Dutch, Mennonites, I mean these German Mennonites speak German but it's different than Germany German, it's called low German, we read and sing in Germany German but Don't speak the language and for the most part Don't understand what we're reading or singing, some do, I know that sounds weird, but that's because of tradition, if we spoke low German in Germany, the real Germans could not understand us, although some words are the same, any questions?
