Intriguing Mennonite World Revealed | Parable Full Episode

[@jeremyfondo4320]

This host is an insult to education. They finally agree to an interview and this is who they get, I wouldn't blame them if they never gave another one.

[@KM-hw6tw]

Exactly. D-bag of the year nominee.

[@upgrayeddnotsure9994]

I was thinking the same thing what a jackass

[@Keys879]

Semitic D-Bag. No surprise.

[@jaygold4467]

Exactly. What an ungodly evil individual. Disgraceful.

[@DanielDaniel-ou4bn]

Agree with u

[@nhamilton9537]

The host demonstrates most amply that the Outside world breeds immaturity and foolishness.. thus in a "back-handed manner proves that it is better to live "off-grid" and away from the Outside as much as possible.

[@jant3528]

Yeah. That car key joke was just … 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@Kimberley42]

The host/presenter just comes across as disrespectful and rude. Getting in their personal space, asking dumb questions and the chap who was asked to sing a hymn was obviously uncomfortable being asked to do so.

[@rogerroth8155]

He ruined it for all of us. Very arrogant !

[@rockerdax]

If you look up "patronizing" in the dictionary, you'd find a photo of this host.

[@janwest5627]

This narrator is not respectful of the people and their way of life.

Agreed. But please note the quilting lady with the fly swatter. I grew up in the Mennonite culture. That is precisely what my grandmother would have done.

I think he's just trying to be entertaining and be a placeholder for the "average idiot" who doesn't understand certain religions or cultures

[@Kneißle]

As a Mennonite, I alternately cringed and was amused. I don't think he's trying to be disrespectful; just totally clueless of the culture. Interesting video.

[@steve4bees935]

I wish you would have talked more about their faith. Because it is what they believe that truly defines them...

[@travissharon1536]

I'm gonna try to join. I can't handle the temptations of the world. I hope it works out.

[@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr]

They don't take vows as it says in the bible, and focus on there being two kingdoms, the kingdom of this world and the kingdom of God. Because of this, they don't vote or hold public office. They see church community as very important. They also strongly believe in non-resistance (no war). Other than these things, they seem similar to baptists, but are arminian not calvinist.

[@steve4bees935]

Romans, I am very familiar with them. I would not call them Armenian or Calvinistic. Yes much like baptists, and that's because what became the baptists were heavily influenced by Mennonites in Belgium. The video just didn't go into much about their beliefs. And missed the boat because of this.

[@Volleyball_Chess_and_Geoguessr]

This is the second program of this series that I *try* to watch. It will be the last. I'm an atheist but I find religion very interesting and am curious to learn more. Playing the disrespectful, bumbling idiot is really annoying and does no one any good.

[@northshore1000]

I thought it was just me! I just left a Comment that I had to stop the video, because the host was too irritating. Then read the Comments and found others couldn’t take it, either.

[@Guineapigsreadingbooks]

Hey! I admire your openness. Sadly I probably can't offer you any new information, as I am a Christian, the religion most known for shoving itself in other people's faces. But if you do want some information from a liberal lesbian christian, my offer stands. I will try to be less obnoxious.

[@slandgsmith]

Agreed

[@jackfoot1257]

I'm praying for you. I believe that this curiosity and respect is God drawing you! And just remember " who the son sets free will be free indeed"

[@danieljames1884]

I was raised Mennonite, grew up in St. Jacobs, and know some of the people in this documentary. In fact, my first home was on one of the farms in this program. Unfortunately, Tevya seems afraid/unable to engage with the Mennonite community as equals in this program. I'm not sure what's happened in his life to make him feel that this style of inquiry is informative or respectful. I hope, Tevya, that if ever someone chooses to investigate your history, belief system, and lifestyle they will take you seriously. You deserve that. So do we.

[@MoonPhaze5]

Right on Daniel James. Many walking in Christ are treated with little to no respect. That goes with the territory, my friend. Blessings of peace. 🙏💛

[@mythicachan-heung617]

I agree with many of the comments here. I'm grateful to the Mennonite Community in St. Jacobs for opening up to do this documentary (I'm an atheist), but I wish the host stopped all those disrespectful and mocking comments. I cringed so much and couldn't watch the whole thing in one sitting. Especially in Canada, where we embrace diversity, this is unacceptable. Kudos to all those who were interviewed and responded to his questions nicely and seriously, making this documentary more informative.

[@northshore1000]

Got a little over 4 minutes into video, but had to turn it off. The host, his attempts at humor, are too irritating.

[@coryc8819]

I think hez hilarious 😆

[@janesna7953]

This presenter didn't have to mess up the singing by giving his own terrible tune, didn't have to criticise the smell of the auction house...

Be respectful when someone is allowing you in their community to help YOU understand their religion. The interviewer isn’t funny he’s just disrespectful. No matter the religion always respect it.

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

The man is rather immature and rude.

[@karynward6205]

Right, so the presenter visits a Mennonite community wearing cammo pattern pants and a brown t-shirt, both with overt military styling overtones. Hmmm. Not exactly respectful and open-minded, never mind the sarcasm that also comes through with his comments.

[@հոտոտպանիր]

[@Luke-Emmanuel]

This was beautiful. They live happily and real. And in a lovely place. They eat the best food I’m sure too.

[@StarrLabell]

There are so many different denominations of Mennonites that all have some differences. I met a liberal Mennonite couple that drove to my state to pick up a puppy. The husband wore normal men's clothing while his wife wore an old fashioned dress and bonnet. I asked if they lived without electricity, like the Amish, and they told me they were allowed to have electricity. I think the ones in America may be more liberal. I also wish this video had concentrated on their religious beliefs, that's what interests me most.

[@HermitagePrepper]

I believe that these fine people are perhaps the some of the heartiest and toughest people. Their life style appears very resilient and would likely survive great hardship.

[@lifelovewisdomchannjalloh8080]

The use of the Lord’s name in vain written across the screen between segments was just unbelievably disrespectful. He was bringing dishonor to the name of the God these people consider (and who is) holy God Almighty.

@Elena of Avalon He should just not do religion of any kind. He's not cut out for ANYTHING of a sensitive nature and that's alot of subjects. It's not cute at all.

[@FirstNationNameBeliever-215]

The Mennonites share a similar lifestyle tradition with that of the First Nations People before and after colonization. Indigenous individuals had a mix of Catholic and Anglican influences alongside their native cultures, resulting in a lifestyle that closely resembled that of Mennonites. Sometimes, I find myself wishing for someone who embraces the "oneness doctrine" and lives that lifestyle, although such an individual has not emerged yet. While I don't personally align with Mennonite doctrines, I wholeheartedly appreciate their fresh and beautiful lifestyle, which resonates with my own beliefs. Their emphasis on living off the land, sharing resources, minimizing waste, and embracing a diligent work ethic are aspects of their lifestyle that I deeply admire. Combining the Mennonite lifestyle with the doctrines of Oneness apostolic beliefs, while also adopting an off-grid approach to the world, would indeed create a truly ideal scenario, often referred to as "The Apostleship." This concept involves embracing only the Mennonite lifestyle and adhering solely to the Oneness Apostolic doctrines. Sincerely, - First Nation Name Believer

[@colejackz]

[@janefromthecountry1820]

Thanks to the two young men who allowed filming. I heard there are different strains of Mennonites.

[@janeprescott7381]

I'd refer to them as chapters.

[@StarrLabell]

Denominations 😊

[@ybunnygurl]

There are different Mennonite churches these are old order Mennonites there's also more modern orders and then there is the modern Mennonite Church. Modern Mennonites are just like any other church... But they're still pretty plain on the inside and you still generally cover your hair when you're a woman when you go to church but outside of church nope.

Same, only my mother's side were Mennonite. If you dig deep enough, you may find your relative(s) have been shunned. My maternal grandfather was shunned for marrying outside of the faith (English). No records of him exist beyond his marriage and death certificates.

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. What does this mean? Well, it means you should try to depict things you can't see. God, heaven, hell or... idk. Some sort of big sea monster. It doesn't mean that taking a picture of an item, or a person is wrong, or even something like a fish. You shouldn't falsely depict something, and you can't honestly depict something you haven't seen. Even something like all the images of Jesus aren't completely honest. I think not letting someone take a picture of you is silly. There are many good reasons to avoid being photographed, but Exodus 20:4 isn't one in my opinion.

😢Dear Minnonites I just had a little tall with one of your agents who is with a group in my hometown of Los Angeles California The agent was given away religious tracts. I said to him. "It's hell down here. There needs to be an army of you down here. I said something that I couldn't understand. And I answered. You have my prayer. At one time I favored the Minnonites mostly for their piety. But at the moment, The Gates of Hell have apparently prevailed here in Los Angeles and there seems to be nothing that they or anyone else can do about that. They are defeated. I don't think they know that they have been defeated So, they show up here in downtown Los Angeles pandering. That's the Invisible purpose of their being here in the community. To exploit is and put us on Exhibition and for their own entertainment and amusement. 🇺🇸

I'm from a so called Minority group but I'm also a Vietnam Veteran 71 years old. I did 20 years in the Military okay. I have a personal Philosophy. " You do your thing and I do my thing" but Don't judge me because of my Culture. These two groups of People do just that. If I take my wife to the clinic they all give me this second look " what are you doing in my Space"?. I respect all people and I never ever judge anyone because of greed color or religion. I don't care. These people the Mennonite & Amish practice a form of Insecurities of who are they? What do they want? Why are there Here? Why are they speaking a strange language? Why they dress like that? It goes on and on and on. Trust and Love and Empathy is Not in their Hearts. Okay. Let's leave it there. One thing I know. I do have Love & Empathy in My Heart.
