Meet the Amish 2 of 4 - Ungodly music and hedonistic lifestyle

This engrossing reality series follows a group of teens who are experiencing Rumspringa, a period when Amish teenagers are allowed to explore life outside of their closed society. Originally broadcast on Channel 4 UK 2010 as "Amish: World's Squarest Teenagers".

[@Julianakun]

The non-Amish kids are so open minded and really try their best to make the Amish kids feel respected and appreciated.

​@Derek Charette I don't think they're putting themselves on a pedestal. They're just afraid of God.

I really like these Amish girls. They show an inner strength, a glow, that is missing from the secular world. We can learn a lot from them.

[@14s0cc3r14]

I feel sad for how ignorant they are

[@skerigyttorp]

No they literally have so much ignorance they get terrified from seeing anything they aren’t used to

[@findingbeautyinthepain8965]

It doesn’t make them ignorant to be afraid of things they aren’t used to. Anyone who lived in the country where everyone dressed the same, looked the same, and acted the same, had little contact with the outside world, and have never so much as heard someone sing a non Christian song, for the first two decades of their life would be afraid of all this new stuff, no matter how intelligent they are. Secular people who simply haven’t been on an airplane before have panic attacks the first time they fly. Are they ignorant or just afraid of the unknown? Many A+ students cry and are scared when their parents drop them off at their college dorms the first time. It doesn’t mean they don’t want to be there or that they are ignorant. It just means leaving what you know is scary. And it’s that scary for teens just to live on their own and leave all their friends for the first time. These Amish kids were pretty much put in a new world! They have every right to be scared! It has NOTHING to do with intelligence. 🙄

[@pamkgs]

These teens are not judgmental at all. They are comparing and analyzing the various lifestyles. They are loving and kind. One part I think they forgot originally is that David danced before God and also played the harp. But it was great that they actually researched for their answers instead of just believing what others told them or passed on to them.

[@malachipratton5145]

Skip to 40:50 she mentions it

[@beelzemobabbity]

@Sanningen being judgmental, especially to someone’s face and about things they care about is rude, and ignorant. Judging things, is different from being judgmental. Simple judging is more like deciding how you feel, being judgmental is usually negative, as it means looking down on what other people do (and often their entire lifestyles)

[@sinistersisterh-e4663]

I am really impressed with the way Becky apreciates new experiences but aĺways questions them and reflects about them according to her own faith . Who could call amish people narrowminded After listening to this girl?

I like Leah...You can tell what she is thinking just by looking at her face...Her eyes don't lie. Though, you can also tell when she is judging someone.

[@ccali327]

It's a fair point. I do think she's questioning herself while judging others which is tempering the harshness of that judgment. Even when she says she "knows" certain things about the afterlife, it's hard to believe she is 100% convinced of it. I think some of it is still her trying to convince herself that she truly believes this stuff which is why you get a sort of contradictory vibe. There is a lot of introspection going on because there is so much tied to that belief. She's forced to believe in something with no real evidence, and that something dictates so much of the rest of her life. If that belief wavers, it's going to be hard to hold the rest of her identity together. So, there is a real powerful bias that's keeping her true to her roots while her intelligence and curiosity is tempering that. It's as if those hardened beliefs act as a governor to keep her true to her Amish roots, but she's pushing up against the limits of that governor.

***** Oh come on now. I'm sure there are a fewwwwww people a little less tolerant. Like people who don't want to serve gay people in their stores, racist people, people who think women shouldn't have control over their own bodies. Saying "Wehh the world's gone PC mad" is just a way of complaining about being expected not to be cruel or impolite. What rights have "leftys" taken away from you? The only thing they don't tend to tolerate is intolerance and why should intolerance be tolerated?

[@jimzucco1503]

***** So you think if someone denies other people service for an arbitrary reason, it's wrong for someone who disagrees with them to in turn deny them service? Is it fine and dandy for someone to say "I don't want gay people in my store" but then turn around and whine that it's unfair and they're being witch hunted if some people then go "Well we don't want you in ours."? Look, you can try to justify discrimination all day, but I'm assuming that means you've never personally faced discrimination and don't know how horrible it is. Hmmm, maybe just a bit, don't you think? I mean, ISIS do behead people. It's not exactly on the same level as someone blogging angrily about bigots, is it? Nobody is being the thought police, nobody is telling you what you can and can't think, what people want, is for your hateful thoughts not to affect them unnecessarily. You see a gay couple on the street kissing and think it's distasteful? Fine. Think it, move on, don't kiss someone of your own gender, because it's not something you want to do. Just don't yell at them, attack them or do anything that affects them just because of the way you think. You don't like the idea of others doing it to you, so don't do it to them. I don't know when common courtesy stopped being a simple fucking thing that three-year-olds learned and started being something you had to explain to grown men. But whatever. Keep feeling oppressed if you want, you middle class, "silent majority", hero. Fight the good fight against those equality-for-all scum. Don't they know equality is only for people who look and act like you?

@Derek Charette Researchers at MSU's Department of Biological Sciences and Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Aquaculture exposed ecosystems consisting of insects and soybean plants to rock music, country music and sounds of a city to see if the noise affected the environment. The study found that a ecosystem exposed to AC/DC's Back in Black album on repeat for two consecutive weeks began to deteriorate. Lady beetles became less effective predators, and as a result, the aphid population surged in the ecosystem, harming the biomass of the soybean plants.

[@dianemarie409]

While I do not berate anyone for their religion or what they believe, what bothers me about the Amish lifestyle is how isolated they are & the utter lack of education that occurs. As an American citizen, to not know one of our country's past presidents that was brutally assassinated is wrong. History, science, mathematics & the arts should be something they are exposed to. Manual labor, isolation, limited education & ignorance is not the way to "teach" people how to live. You can live modestly while still being educated & gaining knowledge. Give them the knowledge & options to make their own decisions. While many parts of their lifestyle are admirable, living in ignorance is not. Limiting their education, living in isolation without exposure to the "real" world is their way of keeping people in the Amish communities---they wouldn't be able to survive in the "real world".

[@Miscellaneos101]

[@alexa7337]

FIrst, most communities really aren't that isolated, second, they asked Becky that question, she was from a Schwartzentruber Amish community, the most conservative and don't teach history or science, other Amish communities are not like that. History, science, etc are part if their curriculum. They did that just so the Amish look stupid and uneducated. Also, they can survive in the, as you call it, "real world" but many prefer not to because the "real world" is horrible, immoral, lazy, busy, etc.

[@mazzvidz]

Your “REAL” world is a figment of your imagination. Mother Nature is brutal, ruthless and unapologetic.

That bubble can be popped at any moment and you certainly would not have the knowledge, skills or work ethic to survive.

Homegirl in green dress was feeling the beat and trying to explain herself. The way she talked about the beat of the drums, it was almost like a self-affirmation, like "The beats made me feel something that made me want to get up move my body and dance *but that's evil, god hates that*". I kinda feel bad for them tbh, they don't allow themselves to fully enjoythings, there's always "self-shaming" at all times. I truly believe people should do whatever they wanna do as long at they're not doing harm to others or themselves, but sis... It's just music. Man, the things they're missing...

That isn't sexist. Frankly is astounds me that so many women take offence to it. It is an honour to stay home and raise my children and know that my husband fully trusts me to do a good job while he is away at work. No one is saying that is all I am good for but it is what I do to the best of my abilities and is in no way an insult. It's a matter of pride. No one could care for me home and my children the way I do. How is it offensive to be recognized for that?

I think that Christians are allowed to have opinions and expectations about others, but they still must treat others as their equals. In other words, they can judge, but they must look beyond a person's exterior and see that s/he is still a person and should be treated as such. I could be wrong, though, as I don't know most of the rules of Christianity despite being a Christian myself.

What I don't understand is how she can say that God hates low necklines when God made Adam and Eve naked and gave them clothes only when they asked him for some.

[@intothekey]

He gave them cloths when they understood that they were necked aka They understood they where vulnerable and could hurt others.

[@AeroZeppelin-rb4pt]

They didn't know they were naked till they sinned read the bible for the details.

[@alexa7337]

He clothed them when they sined and realized they were naked. When sin came into the world so did things like lust so they had to be clothed.

19.55 Better to light a candle then curse the dark. It is not about hope. it means: It is better to lead a good life and be an example for others then being resentful is what that means. The Amish look like lights to me. To visit a music festival to escape and feel good is no substitute for being good and knowing that you are trying your best.

[@fasiapulekaufusi6632]

I hope that these people and their way of life never get tainted by modern society. They dont sit on the couch all day watching Anime or play games for 24 hours. They dont text or go on social media all day. They are physically active and not lazy. I admire them. They remind me of my home country in the village. I plan to retire there one day.

[@irinaki2011]

Fantastic documentary, thank you for the upload!

[@evilashxero]

"God hates low necklines". That made me laugh out loud.

[@ewthmatth]

It's funny how, since everyone is carrying an HD video camera with them these days, the producers have to put in that low-fi effect just so we realize we are looking at personally shot footage (like at 19:40).

[@JSainte17]

Wow, she was really torn up about them going to hell. I know she said it's a burden, but you can tell how upset she is thinking (or knowing for her) that it could (will) happen.

[@plum2312]

Thank YOU for the videos!!

[@vishansingh7641]

Amish: big house, little churches Rest of wold: big church, little house

[@kafejava]

These Amish are very beautiful teenagers and I appreciate their deep thoughts and values.

[@ricknofzinger]

This really gives a clear view of the difference between decadence and purity. God loves us all, but I have to believe that the path that He sets before us is pure one. The Amish get some things wrong concerning the Bible, but, I think they are closer to the lives He wants us to live. My opinion.

[@glenn-younger]

This is fascinating to watch the intermingling of different cultural and belief systems, whether religion based, fashion based, music based, etc.. Thank you @Discern4Media for the upload... and everyone else for all their comments. That, too, is interesting to see how different cultural belief systems intermingle.

[@roxyhart5692]

I'm super curious about who decided that the harmonica is an okay god-approved instrument but everything else isn't. No hating just curious

[@rozozzy]

those clothes in the texas heat would be a killer along w/no AC!!

[@soccablau9203]

so much great music they have missed :( Iron maiden is like a band that doesnt exist for them :O

[@Jamazonify]

+socca blau I know right they missed miley cyrus and anaconda.

[@quinnroberts8451]

IKR

[@joshuafelty6779]

+socca blau I mess around with drumming, yet I do not play alone with music. I just like to do beats. Same beast that would be used in rock,metal and dance. However I guess they would not be down with drums, even if It was giving God glory. I say this because the beats I would do would be "world" beats. :/

[@xmdevus]

Poor girl being afraid to get in the water. That’s just sad to see hope she eventually learned or learns to swim

[@gosialife]

Amen. Dancing and worshipping God is a positive and great thing to do

"we don't use electricity, but if you ever want to come to America, call us"

[@kbd_ny8662]

Do British people know that in America we go to "Amish Country" (wherever the nearest one is - ya know within reason haha like I guess the whole USA doesnt do this) on field trips when were in grade school (age 5-11). And they allow tourists to tour, etc, too (At least the east coast communities ive seen). They really are super nice though. I didn't talk to any kids my age though - however, I remember once I went to Pennsylvania to ski so we stopped by the Penn Dutch Amish - and I ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS - as we both turned on to the same road, but heading in opposite directions, he looked back over his seat in his buggy to look at the car, and I looked back over my seat in the car to get a good look at the buggy and bc of this we instead DEAD LOCKED eyes - no emotion - until his mother "smacked" (gently) him to turn back around - I guess bc he was staring at the car too long or whatever ya know? Temptation. Anyway like I said, just one of those weird childhood moments you always remember, and this is one of the few times I've gotten to share that story lol.

[@WinterHalloweenRose]

I feel like this show is good because it helps break away stereotypes for both groups. We see that Amish aren't as close-minded as some people think they are, that they're really quite nice and open to hearing about beliefs and lifestyles that are opposite to theirs, and we see that kids that look like "delinquents" can be really quite polite and respectful of others as well.

[@kingedwards3157]

that band is awesome they sound good and play well I wish I could find their music

[@ccali327]

"My greatest concern for girls in bikinis... is really for the boys because they struggle a lot with temptation." I know we all want to be non-judgmental and friendly but that is really the basis of blaming women for rape. There is a certain danger in minimizing women's value and even men's agency to make the claim that women are somehow responsible for minimizing the temptations of a man. She has no such concern for the men with their shirts off. There is just no self-control taught at all.

[@ldonramos6704]

I like these kids They are both open minded..they respected each other culture ...how they live .most of the British kids they don't go to church..there are a lot of big churches but only the old ones go to church.we are lucky because we are Christians..no restriction as long you live with God's words. Based our life in the Bible. God wants His children to live a better life .but I love how the Amish discipline their children they are so responsible and respectful..

[@ulrichvonliechtenstein6138]

I thought it was funny that the one Amish girl was surprised by the smoking, since a lot of Amish actually do smoke.

[@sararummelTx]

My husband is from Lancaster Pennsylvania well actually Halifax and I love to go see the Amish shops when we go to Pennsylvania. Such loving people and they make the yummiest pies and beef sticks

[@Malon2006]

I remember the bible saying that Jesus drank wine and turning water into wine. Wine as in fermented alcohol from grapes not grape juice. Should I mention he lived in a hot climate with no refrigeration, that grape juice would have spoiled really quickly. It seems less against alcohol by itself and more about having it in excess and getting drunk.

[@ericdanks4370]

I remember in my church it was tuaght like that. Drinking isn't bad, just shouldnt be taken in excess.

[@trylikeafool]

The Bible says to not be DRUNK with wine. It doesn’t forbid drinking. However, many churches discourage drinking as a way to protect against the temptation of getting drunk.

[@sararummelTx]

Malcolm 2006 exactly you hit the nail on the head I'm a Christian and that's exactly what is true or is what we believe is true

[@sararummelTx]

@@trylikeafool some churches are ignorant my daughter's Church teaches that Jesus never even drink wine and they never even made one those are the ones we call a cult

[@f922v]

If anyone would like to check out the band, they're called The Soundcasters. They're really talented.

[@joemysic7942]

"to express oneself is considered boastful" okay im done here 😂

[@farmwife7944]

it appears that Straight Edge did not catch on in Britain. I wonder what the Amish kids would think about kids with dyed hair, tats, very loud heavy metal music but they do not do drugs or alcohol , are vegetarian, and no sex before marriage.

[@travelingwitch6672]

I mean, I guess if they ever get electricity they could listen those cds lol

[@777thomascrown]

You see the Amish every once in awhile here in Michigan at the farmers markets and selling pies and such on the side of the road with there buggy's. I think we tend to sort of laugh at them and maybe think were so much smarter than them but watching this series has really touched my heart and id really like to thank the makers of this series. In fact I couldn't help shedding a few tears now and then. The show gave me a real true sense that we really are one big human family. Black,white Muslim..

[@Sandra-oz8iy]

"I think God hates low necklines" LOL love it

[@glendabrekke5475]

what a great thing for the amish to get to see what other people live like.Get to see their cathedrals etc also making and designing your own clothes and singing to the lord, gives a person such peace and a smile on your face
