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).

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.

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.

[@sandraschulz1370]

I'll never forget how the Amish reacted to having their schoolhouse shot up in 2006. I have so much respect for them.

[@stevenhurt9860]

Peter thank you for bringing in all of these different cultures that people are so quick to judge but you are going into these and showing the truth and I feel that they are very interesting

[@mzmagister]

Poor Brian, you teasing him :D Looking forward to the next one!

[@DaveSpecC]

Randomly discovered your channel around 2 weeks ago, and have been slowly binge watching through all your videos. Just from your channel alone, has helped to restore a little faith in humanity for me. You and most of the people in the videos give off a really friendly and positive vibe, and in a world where division is so rife, it's really refreshing to see. So thank you, and thanks to all the other great people who helped to make these videos happen. 👌

[@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.

[@yefenofphoto]

It would be fascinating to bring Shlomi here and to bring Dennis and Josh to Williamsburg because the cultures are similar

[@azules9780]

That would be very interesting I think!

[@kayla7562]

Yeah I think of Shloime a lot with this Amish series for some reason.

[@purpleroo6967]

yeah, and it might be cool to see similarities between yiddish and penn german

[@TheMisschrisaz]

That would be awesome!

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......

[@Didisayhi]

Waiting all week for this!!!! You are a true legend!!!

[@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.

[@aqualibra961]

I am truly enjoying my journey as I join you on yours Peter. Thank you for sharing your experiences. I love learning about the many differences we all live and possess. It’s awesome that you use your platform to showcase our differences and similarities in a way that’s always respectful and in no way ever offensive. Bottomline you show us we may look & live different but we’re all the same too…Human. Take care, remain safe & God Bless😇👍🏽

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.

Where did you go to school?

[@UnjustifiedRecs]

I'm proud to say I'll never know the pledge of allegiance, Them's some next level cult words

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

I swear, these videos you're doing are soooo insightful!

My first school was a one room wooden school house with 8 pupils. That was the best school I ever went to. No bureacracy, very close home and school links. Teacher in my second year esp. Was so laidback and not overwhelmed by student ratios and reports, we had FUN and were a family.

[@bongzonthebeat]

Please keep doing these!!!! This is so awesome have watched the past few episodes very interesting and love how wholesome and genuine they were to answer all your questions and welcoming you to check everything out, i think we as the “english” as they would say could certainly learn quite a bit from them and i am very interested to see more

[@blundy1]

Love the videos and particularly the Amish series. I've been watching them as they come out. Great content about a culture I know very little about.

[@KSMO1031]

My dad taught in a one room school in South Dakota back in the late 40's, early 50's. He said the younger kids advanced faster due to them hearing the lessons of the older kids. If kids were around for several years, it would just build on itself. My dad retired in 1985 when he was physically threatened by a student. That was when "time outs" started to become a thing. I have an Amish school a few miles from my home. When I go by, I'll see all the kids, boys and girls, all ages, playing baseball or kickball together. Not one of them on their phone.

[@bobritchie6720]

[@Strix07024]

Peter - you have such a huge heart for people! You are a masterful storyteller and have a warm, respectful way of connecting with others. Thank you for these excellent videos, for educating and opening our eyes to groups who have decided to live separate from so much of the world in order to live closer to the Lord. It gives me hope that despite all the chaos and evil in our world that there are still enclaves of love and goodness. My family and I live among a wonderful rural Plain community in southwest Ohio. Many different levels of Amish and Mennonite. We have befriended these humble, hard-working, God-fearing people and love them. They are such an example of how we “English” should live; more simply, more connected to the land, to family, community and the Lord. We would be immensely better off for it.
