A man who lives in remote Kentucky among strict Amish and Mennonites has revealed what their isolated communities are really like - from living without electricity, internet, and cellphones to driving around in horse and buggies.
For his whole life, Steven Haste has resided in a community in Casey County, Kentucky, that is made up prominently of Amish and Mennonite people - two religious groups who believe in living a traditionalist lifestyle.
And while he doesn't consider himself Amish or Mennonite and doesn't follow their firm rules, he recently opened up about why he prefers to spend his time with them rather than the outside world.
While chatting with popular YouTuber Peter Santenello for a video, Steven explained that living among the Amish and Mennonites is extremely 'humbling.'
He explained that while he isn't a fan of all of their regulations, he loves their simple way of life and strong sense of community.
'I love it. These people are my best friends. I've been around them my whole life,' he explained. 'I was raised right here. I'm so used to it, I'm with them everyday.
'They're my friends. I don't feel comfortable without them to be honest with you. It's such a humbling place to live.'
According to Steven, Amish and Mennonite people are extremely 'helpful' and will come together to assist anyone in the neighborhood.
He recalled one time that a tornado destroyed the roof of his barn, and everyone he knew came to help repair it.
'They help you, they'll do anything for you,' he continued. 'We all gather and help each other. That's how it works around here.'

The poster called Morgana sure likes pointing out sins of others.
What kind of skeletons does he have in his closet?
Be a shame for those to come to light!
Moreover, it occurs to me that you could literally accuse ANY group of people of “hidden abuse” in the sense that we all do things we are ashamed of (or should be ashamed of) in our treatment of others, and prefer that it not come to light. It really tells us nothing about how the group in question compares to the rest of the human race.
“someone else wants to destroy or take revenge on,”
Were you not one of those on here the last few days cheering on the genocide of innocent women and children in GAZA?
BTW..you also made the accusation that I was Muslim if I remember right.
Look in the mirror. You’ll see the reflection of a hypocrite.
The whining and crying from protestants is epic hypocrisy.
Thanks for posting.
i’m not a protestant or catholic so there ya go.
Was I? Post the links.
Part of the human condition.
It didn’t take long for this thread to go downhill.
“They should look to the Pope for inspirations of goodness and steadfastness.”
Because it says to do that in the Bible. Oh wait... it doesn’t.
You’ve been reading the Bible again, haven’t you? Don’t deny it.
Right. Unlike Catholics, I’m allowed to do that. 😉
Sorry- not THIS Pope. Did you forget your < /sarc > tag?
The epic hypocrisy is Catholics whining and crying when allegations of sexual abuse by priests are posted and then turn around and post almost nothing but allegations of abuse by others as if it’s written in stone.
If they don’t like being on the receiving end, then why is it OK to dish it out?
Is that some kind of revelation to you?
ROFL!!!
You and others throw no end of crap (some deserved, most not) at Catholics. You've done this for years. Now ... somebody is ripping off the veil and showing crap on your side of the fence ... and you whine about it.
It's hilarious.
The excerpt didn’t match the Mail’s sensationalist headline.
In noticed that, too.
Which is why this thread is nothing but a hit piece besmirching Christ and Christians.
you can tell their houses cause the window trim’s are always painted white
well, that and there’s no electric/phone line going to the house
sometimes a phone on a pole near the road
people make good money here from them carting them around to and fro...
Society
Can’t save you
They’re not very democratic
About anyone leaving
A Bible based life means
Only the works of God / Jesus
Can free - save you
Not exactly.
The pharisees of Jesus day kept the Law to the letter and He had some harsh things to say about them.
No amount of works can save or free anyone.
It is strictly the work of God in one's life than accomplishes that because He is the only One who has the power to either save or free you.
