Most of the more severe illnesses happen to people by surprise, unexpectantly, impacting first in the brain, then in the corresponding organ which that part of the brain controls. The end of WWI had absolutely everything to do with the Flu and lung TB outbreak that occurred killing millions. In nature, the biological conflict linked with a territorial fear (just what it means-a fear in your territory, your home, your community, etc.) is a widening of the bronchia (tissue loss). Your body attempts to widen your bronchia in order to allow more air into your lungs to give you more strength and energy to fight to keep your territory safe. Stay with me.......The biological conflict linked with a death fright impacts the lungs. The lungs attempt to grow larger in order to allow more air in because breath equals life, as we all know. No breath equals death. While you are in the fear or death fright conflict, you notice no symptoms of “disease”, except you have cold hands, cold feet, you can’t sleep, you awaken at 3 AM every night, you have little appetite. During the WW1, millions of people were in fear of the bombing of their homes and cities where the war was most active. Fearing for their lives, their loved ones in the war, their ability to survive. The food in the stores was sparse due to shortages. This lasted for 4 long years! The longer the conflict, the worse the healing phase. Within 2 weeks of the German Chancellor announcing the end of WWI, these millions of people ALL went into the healing phase all at the same time. It is during the healing phase that you experience symptoms of illness! What is the healing phase of the bronchia widening? Severe bronchitis, pneumonia. The body attempts to refill this lost tissue and you experience inflammation, fever, coughing, body aches, fatigue, etc. What is the healing phase of the extra lung tissue that grew? Decomposing of the tissue by TB bacteria and fungi. The symptoms of this healing phase are: severe coughing up of blood and tissue, fever, inflammation, severe mucous, body aches, fatigue. During this decomposing of the extra tissue (tumor), the body expels a lot of protein, and without replenishment, severe protein loss can result in death. Antibiotics did not exist yet. If TB bacteria does not exist in a person or they have been vaccinated against TB (big mistake), then the tumor will simply encapsulate and become dormant and not harm you. Who died during the Spanish Flu? Mainly the poor who could not afford to buy meat and proper nourishment, and the people who were directly impacted by the bombings and destruction of their homes. Millions of people suffered fear and death frights during the fighting of WWI, and millions of people all went into healing at the end of it. Not everyone was affected because not everyone suffered the same way. It’s not a “flu”, it’s not something you “catch”. It’s biological, meaningful, and unavoidable. One hundred years later, a Fear Campaign begins, using the media to spread it......

They are certainly still a very high-control cult. Most aspects of their life, and choices they make are directly influenced by the church. On top of that, If a member goes against church rules, other members are required to shun and avoid communicating with this member. That includes immediate family members in most cases. That being said, the people still seem extremely humble and somewhat content (whether or not they have a choice). It's been very interesting to see the inner workings of the amish community.

Growing up in Ohio, I enjoyed taking quarterly trips out to "Amish country" to buy food items and such. During one trip, I was scared of a piece of artwork and an older Amish woman took notice. She gently drew my attention to something else and we had a wonderful conversation. As a young, black girl from the city, I always felt welcomed and "at-home" during my visits. This video brought back that nostalgia and a lovely reminder that I have no regrets teaching my own children to understand, appreciate, and learn from diverse cultures (especially sustainable living and Yah directed ancient paths).

Much respect. Beyond the incredibly interesting view into these relatively closed off worlds, what you are doing is to humanize people within groups very few understand. Having travelled the world many times over (which comes with an understanding that we are all, essentially, the same, interested in safety for our families, a decent life and the essentials) whenever I came across a group like the Amish, I always thought that they looked down on us "the English (in this case)" with scorn and as sinners. Your videos have enlightened me to the fact that this couldn't be farther from the truth. They simply want to live their lives the way they want to, without interference from the outside world (although it is clear that it is becoming more and more difficult for the elders to hold back the sea of technology - hopefully they appreciate the good that social media can do with videos like yours). I may not understand their way of life but I respect it. Thank you for the work you are doing. I can only imagine how enlightening it is to actually be on the ground seeing all of this first hand. =)

It should not be based on scientific evidence.

[@rachelcookie321]

@@Vitamortis. I believe that god created science like he created everything else on earth. God didn’t write the bible though, man wrote the bible. Jesus was a real person, many scientists believe that to be true. But science also disproves a lot in the bible. I think when the bible was written they also used that moment to write about things they didn’t understand yet and just said that god did it (like evolution and Adam and Eve). They also wrote in rules of their society to try and manipulate people into thinking god was the one who said it so they should follow. The bible was also written 100s of years ago which gives plenty of time for stories to be warped and rewritten. For many years before the bible was written many of the stories were just word of mouth, people could easily of remembered details wrong.

I love this. I’m not really religious, I live in the “English” world and I love this way of life. It’s so nice to see the one room school. I would love for my kids to go here.

[@larajo8918]

Well I am not so sure if your kid will learn a lot

[@apatheticallyconcerned6574]

Public schools are objectively failing, especially failing boys. And yet we continue to look at the Amish and other people as if they're weird for how they educate their kids...who end up turning out peaceful with a strong work ethic.

[@HIGHRISH420]

Amazing series! I live in an area of Upstate NY that has pockets of Amish communities throughout. They've always amazed me and most days I envy their simple and peaceful lives.

[@CHarlotte-ro4yi]

Your videos are amazing! The way you interact and portray these communities is respectful and intriguing since you literally let them speak for themselves. About that: I would love to hear them speak some German or Pennsylvanian Dutch, would be so interesting to hear how close it is to high German.

[@theroadnottakentravel]

When I was homeschooled I used a Christian Mennonite Amish English curriculum and learned so much about their culture-single roomed schoolhouses are definitely common!

[@TechLiberator]

I really appreciate the type of videos you create.

[@christopher.96]

I went to a mennonite school 7th grade to 12th. Although I was English, I enjoyed my time there. I joined the Army and the drill sergeants found out I didn't know the pledge of allegiance... that was fun.

[@johnnyyoder3508]

Where did you go to school?

[@VL1975]

I went to a Mennonite church growing up too. It was more of a "liberal" Mennonite (Lancaster Mennonite Conf), but when I joined the Marine Corps when I was 18, I had to go talk to the pastor. He wanted to make sure I wanted to join the military. But you had it worse not knowing the pledge. lol

[@alexbella5]

Trying to understand whats wrong with the pledge of allegiance lol, it does mention God.

[@VL1975]

@@alexbella5 Apparently you're not religious.

[@stephen1922]

@@alexbella5 Think about it. Pledging your sole allegiance to your country is an ideology used to indoctrinate children from a young age into becoming “soldiers” for their country, for which they’ll fight to the end. Chanting those nationalist words every day, it’s like a kind of religion. And some people believe country should never come before God.

[@dferrantiJfr]

Peter, your videos make a great ending to my boring days. Your character fits right in wherever you go.. The Amish series was delightful and fulfilling.. All the Best in your Travels.

I enjoy seeing the lifestyle of the Amish I respect them

[@ReeceS6419]

I love your videos because I love to see the different kinds of people. In the crazy world we are living in right now, it seems to me the Amish are better off! They are such a close community and I love how they look out for one another!

[@MONICAANICA]

Love their smiles. Love their pause when they speak. These are people that pay respect to words & thoughts. Wish them the best in their unmatched effort to stay clean & simple 💕 close to the essence of life

[@GGPop808]

Ah wow! This is different, but fantastic to see that children are still learning. Love the no electronics & religious portion.

[@wendiesweetwood5099]

One time when I was spending the summer with some family members in Pennsylvania where I wasn't too familiar with the area, I had ended up getting extremely lost and had forgotten which way was the person's house. The more that I had wandered around the more that I wasn't sure where I was going. It wasn't until I had found an Amish family who were extremely nice and were willing to help me find my way back. As I had tried to offer what little money that I had on me at the time, they wouldn't consider it and had helped me for no reason

[@kimfleury]

"Whatsoever you do for the least of these, so you do unto Me." The Amish who helped you did it for Jesus. He's all the reason they need.

[@ShyDog827]

Loved this! Such a wholesome place for the children , surrounded by people that know and care for them . They are doing it right👍🏻

[@nad1ax2]

Of all the things Amish communities embody, a wholesome place for children is NOT one of them. It is a sub-culture that's hell-bent on primitivism, religious inculcation and the constant indoctrination of children The children who do not follow their ridiculous code are shunned and admonished. They are discouraged to even interact with "English people" beyond absolute necessity in order to sustain their indoctrination. They are also not allowed to have any association/allegiance with the United States of America, like serving in the military or working public jobs, etc. The teenagers and young adults from these communities that outgrow their convictions are left with deep psychological scars and often require extensive therapy even long after they sought to abandon their communities This video series is just pure ingratiation of what is basically an imbecilic cult

[@status-xk8kr]

@@nad1ax2 Meanwhile in many public schools across the U.S., children are being indoctrinated with critical race theory, Marxism, LBTQ+, etc. Public schools have become hell-bent on primitivism, communist inculcation and the constant indoctrination of children. Anyone who supports the Marxist indoctrination camps that public schools have become belong to an imbecilic demonic cult.

@@nad1ax2 yeah the Amish are definitely not analogous to the Hasidic Jews or any other community Peter has showcased. I once met an ex-Amish who told me that many members in his community didn't know what Barack Obama looked like

I'm loving this series. This channel is becoming one of my favorites just to watch and learn. It's a fantastic break from everything else.

Damn I live close enough to go and see Amish communities and this video definitely convinced me to go visit. Gonna be traveling through Honduras and uploading some content so check it out Peter! ☺️🌅

[@robotslug]

This has been an immensely interesting series! Thanks for giving us that window Peter.

[@MarcMercier1971]

7:50 My mother went to school in NH in a one-room schoolhouse back in the late 40's. She said that the grades were in lines from front to back. The teacher would move her chair down the line to do the assignments. She said that by the time you hit the next grade level the next year, you've already heard and learned the next few grades anyway and readily absorb the materials. I love the Humphrey gas lights. We have those in a hunting camp. People think they're light bulbs if they're lit when they first walk in.

[@mjmjmj50]

Hi Brian 👋 🙂👍 Interesting they have the same issues with technology and kids as we do.Loving this series .

I like that Peter isnt trying to create drama or find things to complain about. All communities have issues and unhappy members. Ita the situation for the majority that counts.

This series is so interesting. I live in New York state where we do have some Amish but I never had a true understanding of what their lives are like. I love this series and its a great insight on the different lifestyles of different types of Amish.

[@nathanpgraf]

As an outsider looking in, all of the orders of Amish is the USA lead an exemplary life that we should all aspire to have- hard work, kindness, a love for family, and faith.

[@NordVast]

This series about the Amish have been some of the most interesting things I have seen on KZbin. You do a really amazing job with this, portraying them in a honest and not bias way. I am not religious but I highly admire they way of living.

[@brendaraeable]

I went to a one-room Amish school. The education in 8 years is not inferior to high school in public education. There’s lots of healthier aspects then kids being in a room with everyone the same age.

I went to a one room school 5th and 6th grade. I learned a lot as we heard the lessons from other classes and the teacher had us older kids help give the lessons to the smaller ones. We were not partitioned off with a curtain but just all together. I loved it.

[@katerij8549]

I love these videos. Very educational and I actually use these videos in our homeschooling curriculum. It helps our kids see the many different upbringings here in the US and opens their eyes to appreciate all peoples culture. Thank you for making these!

[@VanetaRogers1]

In Ohio, we respect our Amish neighbors. I was talking to someone from Montana and we realized the way we have the Amish area of our state is somewhat similar to their Indian reservations. (I know it’s not an exact comparison, but it’s similar in attitude from the state and the surrounding society.) They are different, and they want to be free to oversee their own society, and we do our best to respect those differences while still maintaining safety. They are also showing up in the city much more these days - at our hospitals, our zoo, our activities… much more visible (I assume because they are growing). That said, being stuck behind a buggy when you’re in a hurry is a bit of a pain 😂 Also, speaking of softball, the Amish are REALLY GOOD at softball!!

[@Kittenmom2]

I’ve been watching these videos and I am loving them. I kinda want to be Amish now.

[@crazygrams6683]
