Spoiler: Living at the Bruderhof, I get a simple furnished apartment big enough for our small family to live in. Cons: We switch apartments a lot. Pros: There's not much clutter I have to move!

@Speaking Truth That's what I was thinking too.... it doesnt seem simple or uncluttered to me. Granted some people do choose to clutter their spaces, but the apartments here seem to have all the modern conveniences and items one needs?

@Speaking Truth nothing, except that this video is by a woman who devotes her life to Christianity. I'm just saying that although I may not subscribe to any of her beliefs, I can absolutely relate on the specific topic.
@shannonjkeever477 3 жыл бұрын
@Speaking Truth Yeah, if I had made that comment on some random secular page, I would think that was strange as well. However, that's not what this is. This is a page all about a person who is living in a community devoted to intentional Christian community. So the fact that I have completely different fundamental views but I can still relate is the whole point I'm making. Not quite sure why seems strange to you, but it clearly hit some sort of a nerve. 🤷♀️
@shannonjkeever477 3 жыл бұрын
@Speaking Truth As I stated, in general, it doesn't. It's very specific to what this channel is about and that she mentioned it as part of her beliefs. I don't come from a secular background. I come from an evangelical Christian background where everything had to do with honoring God, including how one keeps house. I just think that clutter can be distracting, whether spiritually or just in ones own mental health. It's interesting that you find this so fascinating.

Interesting way of living. Do they let the families leave easily if they want to? And do they let people inside keep in touch with loved ones outside? Also, do they let people choose their own jobs within the community from the ones that need doing?
@shannonjkeever477 3 жыл бұрын
I think those are all good and valid questions. She did say that they get together with people both within and outside of the community in one of her videos. She also mentioned that she had friends who grew up as she did but chose to leave the community and live in different places and that they seem to be doing okay. So hopefully that means that they do not have to cut off contact on ce they leave the community. That would be a red flag to me if that was the case.

I've visited several of their communities. Their homes are very simple. They have a main room (where she ends her video). This has cupboards, a counter, a table, a "couch" it's really more like a bench. Then they have adult bedrooms (mom and dad), girl bedrooms, and boy bedrooms. The baby will stay in mom and dad's room until they sleep well in their own. The kids rooms will have (typically), beds, dressers, a wardrobe, and sometimes a desk. They are very simple, but also inviting. The way their apartments are set up the share a household kitchen, with shared bake/cook ware. They all have their own plates/bowls/cups/silverware. They have sections of the fridge just for their items. They eat most meals as a community, typically is 3rd grade up at dinner. Then the moms/older teens/single ladies take turns staying home with the littles for each building. I hope I answered your question well! I'll encourage you to seek and visit a community! They are beautiful people!

@lisapugh5015 3 жыл бұрын
From what I understand. This group is throughout the world and has a lot of people. In every group you get bad people and unfortunately in religious groups, the person often excuse their actions or hide it because theyd more likely to be called out and also people trust each other alot more which can make some people easier to exploit. Also these groups tend to keep to themselves and dont share alot online. The only real news us, the outside, gets are from people who have left and that is usually only happensbecause of a bad experience. I never dismiss these stories but its always good to remember that we often only hear one side of it. Which is why listening, research and understanding both sides is important. And to judge a group based on a few bad individuals isnt the right way to go about things. We'd condemn the world if we did that. Maybe she can address in a video if someone she knows left due to a bad experience and what happened after. What actions where done etc

the shared bathroom is always a conundrum for me. I dont know how it works health-wise, particularly if someone has the flu, is going thru chemo , or has aging needs. when my husband was dying I was changing his kidney tubes and caths bags, etc, everything a nurse would do...If we had been in a community and forced to share a bathroom, it would have been impossible to care for him. it would have made my own 21 months of chemo difficult. So,how do you handle it when a member has medical needs. most oncologists recommend Not sharing a bathroom with a family member going thru chemo if possible. Covid would be a concern as well. I cannot imagine sharing with unrelated people. simple is great. One would imagine people would care about health and doing whateber possible to stop virus transmission, which could be devastating in a communal environment.

@@cooledcannon they choose this lifestyle, and nothing wrong with living a simple life so you can use your money to help others. They are not 'forced' to share a house -- they have their own living quarters and every adult chooses to live there. As a community ,they have material wealth -- and individuals with material wealth -- well, they are not always happier than those living a simple life.

Shared kitchen is too much especially for families. Probably nice to have different company but it must get a bit annoying

Why are you not given a full-size crib for your baby? You didn’t show the living room and what about the babies room can you give a tour of all of the different apartments but show everything? Why wouldn’t they give each family their own kitchen and bathroom?

Bruderhof members take a vow of poverty. Part of the minimalist "look" is driven by the need to live up to that vow. Bruderhof members don't earn salaries, but are provided for by the "common purse", likely the truest experiment of living out "true communism". Dress is mostly driven by tradition, but guided by modesty and the afore mentioned vow.

Where in the Bible does it say you should wear such impoverished clothing? What verse?
@LaurafromtheBruderhof 3 жыл бұрын
The Bible doesn't tell us how to dress exactly but in Paul's letter to Timothy he says women should wear respectable apparel so that's what I and we try to do. Sure you can do it in different ways as well.

I am not in a community, not even a Christian. I do not see her clothing as impoverished. I dress very simply myself. A lot of us boomers have been fine with a wardrobe of jeans and simple sweaters or shirts our whole lives.
@cierahowell8653 3 жыл бұрын
Dressing simply is not dressing impoverished,what a strange correlation. The clothing they where can be purchased in a variety of price ranges. Also I have seen Laura and others wear brands such as under armor and keds, these are not impoverished brands.

I dress modestly because I feel more comfortable that way. I’m sure Laura is the same way. It’s not about being repressed, it’s about being yourself. If you feel comfortable in name brands and tank tops- great! I personally do not. Everyone just needs to do what their heart tells them.

Hi Susie! It's the house where I live with my family, so in that sense I call it "my house". We don't own it and will probably move out of it at some point into another house that we also won't own.

Define the perimeters please. How much is anyone allowed to "have their own taste". How much does economic status, religious strictures, peer pressure, and cultural norms play a part in your country of residence? Christ said, "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends". Bruderhof members actually live this out -- even to the potential point of loss of identity - ultimate self sacrifice. Unity for sake of community! As with any venture, a system without a feedback loop is in danger of entropy. I look forward to seeing how the Bruderhof sorts this out!
