That dead was the egalitarians’ dead. The poor women abused by all the various forms on the infastructurian Catholic Church.

and the ones complaining are dressing just like their own friends/family / community LOL

Exploit kids, woman, men.

Their skirts are awesome 💟💕💟 I'm going to look for maxi skirt on eBay inspired🆘 the bruderhof ladies do a great job of making their skirts

The state of the nations, where the criminals hold the moral high ground and those of high moral fibre are cast as fringe.

Little Bird a lot?

Little Bird how many is lots? Could you provide several specific examples as evidence to support your claim? I am not a member or affiliated with the B in any fashion. They come across as decent simple people trying to live their lives in a peaceful gentle way. If you have evidence to the contrary, I’d like to see it.

Little Bird you ask, why do you think she’s the ONLY Bruderhof member with a KZfaq channel? I don’t know if she is or isn’t the only member with a channel. I found her channel after watching the BBC program. There may be others. I’ll do a search when I have time. If people are not being held against their will, I am in favour of letting them live in peace. If their beliefs differ from mine, so be it. If I were inclined to interfere in some other groups belief system, it would probably be a group that compels women to wear burquas, or one that throws gays off of rooftops, or practices FGM, or leads to honour killings of young women who want to marry the partner of their choice. If the B are doing any of that, then close them down.

The comments aren't directed at her

I love to have a friend or a sister like Laura.

Yeah she seems like a lovely, bright girl. To post rude comments because she may live or dress different from ourselves just doesn’t make sense. If she is happy and has less worries and less stress than most of us on the outside them in happy for her and wish her all the best

I would love to have a Wife like Laura. She is wonderful.

Thanks Sue!

Thanks Jennifer!

Unfortunately for a lot of people who turn away from are lord and savior knowing or not is living with Satan. And that is why they live with so much hate in their heart. Now not all people are like that. I myself know a lot of people who live without are lord and are nice and kind people.

@@LaurafromtheBruderhof I just wanted to ask that in one of your videos I thought I heard you say that your faith is Anti Baptist. I may have heard wrong so I just wanted to ask.

@@Slayton76 Anabaptist. they're a branch of christianity.

Slayton76 Thats so bad :( like I’m personally not very religious but I could NEVER imagine treating others Thats way. To me it’s about that person and how kind they are not how they were raised and what they believe

That's so great! Where/what do you teach?

@@LaurafromtheBruderhof - Rivier University, in Nashua New Hampshire. :) We are a smallish Catholic liberal arts college, although of course both students and faculty come from many different backgrounds and faiths (my own faith background is Judaism). These students are in our Global Scholars program, where they have an opportunity to more deeply explore social justice and the importance of service, personal choice, and structuring a life that reflects their core values -- they're an absolutely incredible group. Not all have fully grappled yet with the extent to which they /can/ make choices outside of their current normal, if they wish to do so, and the lens you're providing is a wonderful nudge to their thinking. It really is appreciated!

That is so interesting. Sounds like a class I would like to take! Your students might be interested in this virtual event some members of my community are doing tomorrow: www.plough.com/en/events/2020/faith-and-politics-event

I think that sharing clothing is liberating. An assortment of clothing for special occasions or to blend in with others that is shared could be part of the system.

Just a question. How could clothing restraint be liberating? That smacks of oxymoron. Correct me if I am wrong.

@@bradykincaid9095 this makes me think of a monk who spoke on the subject, he said having fewer of the unimportant choices (what to wear or eat) freed up energy for other more important things in life according to him. This only works if you have freely chosen to follow the dress code of course. I don't know how true this is but it seems to be some people experience.

Okay, I'm convinced. Someone please send me my uniform right away. You pick the color. Idc. Just so long as I look like everyone else. Thanx

Rebekah Bryant What I have heard from several of the Bruderhof women in response to this question, including Laura, is this is just the style that they most prefer. They don’t seem to care if they look “outdated” or don’t blend in with the rest of society, nor do they care if the men wear clothes that do blend in more. It’s hard for us on the outside to understand because we are so used to the way we live, and it’s a similar mindset of theirs that they don’t understand us and our attraction to modern clothing or flashier clothing because they are so used to the way they live as well. The way they dress is what they are used to and it’s what they have always known. It’s comfortable to them, and from their point of view they don’t see any practical need to change things and conform to modern society if they are happy the way things are. It may look old fashioned and plain, but it’s what they desire to wear, and they don’t seem to care at all about how it looks to the outside world. As long as they are happy with the way they dress and are choosing this life freely for themselves, I don’t see why it should bother anyone. Clothing to them holds no value other than practicality and modesty; a foreign concept to us, but a comforting and welcomed concept to them. I could certainly learn a lot from them and their rejection of materialism and their non-conformity to modern capitalistic society’s ever-changing trends. We all could.

@@BhappyD I really hope I didnt come off as rude in my question. I don't see anything wrong with how the bruderhof women dress. Just curious about why men don't dress in the same style. Such as plain button downs and trousers.

I feel the same. It is the button down shirt and the head covering, that evoke the old times. And to me it seems almost intentional. Of course you can say that women's clothes changes more than men's clothes. But I also have some pieces maybe for 10 years now and still I don't look like from another century. And since they buy clothes from today's shops for men (jeans, t shirts with pictures), they could buy also skirts and simple t-shirts for women. No judging, if this is what they like, that's ok :) just wondering... :)

@@littlebird8346 bitter answer

@@BhappyD While this may be true if people were to want to join it might prevent them from doing so. I know for me it would because I'd be okay wearing modest denim jean pants but not a skirt or a dress. I just personally don't physically feel comfortable in skirts and dresses but there's some women who are the opposite and do prefer skirts and dresses.

Thanks Vanne! My fifth grade teacher was probably my favorite teacher.

I have a home daycare. I just looked up the website and oh my goodness! I just need a bigger house and more money, lol! I absolutely love their products. Maybe someday..... 😀

Thank you so much!

Hi Zoe. Children wear stuff that can withstand a lot of rough and tumble play! Shorts, tshirts, little dresses for the girls. Maternity wear is basically a bigger version of the usual clothes.

She's a fantastic cook and she's also an artist, mostly painting - she does art class in the elementary school.

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you Hollie

Yes she was very generous with what sounds like their deliberate choices to create a biased doco

My African country has a 1min segment every 4 years announcing our election results on BBC just because they don't get to tell a civil war story afterwards. We are too boring as Africans was the last comment made on us.

Yes, definitely.

@@UnPoquitoDeSal you know if the editors are not Christian they're not seeing correctly they're biased period so it might be they did so on knowing. Just saying. Or they could have done it intentionally. We don't know. A lot of professional people have a bias against Christians though. Why because I've worked among many professional people. Moose colleges are learning centers of humanism.

I think you talk a lot of crap.

I thought the people making the documtentary was very benign. They mainly showed what the protagonists want us to see, their selfportrayal. That is okay with me, but I really can't see animosity in the documentary. They could have talked to people who have left the Bruderhof community. They could have asked about power structures. When you have no income on your own, then you depend on the community and some people rule the community and others have no choice but to obey. Abuse seems likely to me. They could have asked why the young lady went to London, where overcrowding, lonelyness and consumerism are more extreme than in other parts of the country. Do the Bruderhof people hit their children?

Y.E.S. 🙌👍🏼 I saw BBC and thought “well this will be a hit piece”

Thanks you George!

Wow, thank you!

Thank you so much!

So cool!

One way to think about it is that modest clothes are not distracting to others. Modest clothes don't catch the eye of people because they are plain and not form fitting. As a female, I find it almost impossible to find a pair of trousers that aren't form fitting. Women's pants are often tight and revealing in order to attract attention and not necessarily because they are more comfortable for the wearer. Skirts are actually quite comfortable and freeing, although to someone who is not used to wearing them there would be an adjustment period.

@@AnnieDiscepoli I have trousers that aren't form fitting! I think you need to widen where you shop!

Andrea C. Culottes are fantastic pants that are not form fitting. Paper bag pants are as well. Flared jeans and wide legged jeans are also out in most stores this year. I don’t like form fitting pants either and have endometriosis so I need to wear looser pants around my abdomen. Lately though I’ve been living in sweatpants...quarantine life :)

@@AnnieDiscepoli You sound indoctrinated. There are literally thousands of options that aren't form fitting.

Totally agree! And the fact is this is sexism. Women get a uniform (inc skirts), and not allowed to wear pants, while men don’t. You can try to contextualise it all you want and tell people to actually like the skirt but it’s a very simple problem that could be very easily solved that they choose not to because religion is still scared of female bodies.

Yay! Thank you!

Safe Haven; I'm sorry to say that the sense of belonging anywhere, which we crave, is being attacked by the ambitions of the globalists. Even the notion of Nationhood is being scoffed at by politicians and the mainstream media. Thankfully, God has given us His word and we know that those who accept Christ as their Saviour and Lord, will have an eternal home where He is. Those groups who are demanding a lawless world (defunding the police and closing courts of law) and open borders ( i.e. no borders), will get their wish; and their dream will become their nightmare when they live under the totalitarian world system soon to come, headed by the lawless one, the 'beast' ( Rev.13). The apostle Paul tells us who are believers that our citizenship is in heaven. We all want to be loved and to love. We all yearn for that sense of belonging. Only the Lord Jesus can meet our longings. Those that put their faith in Christ will be richly loved and blessed for eternity.

Oh thank you!

Hey thanks! They are!

They seem dangerous insensible for girls who horse playing & tree climbing. No shade. I respect your way of life. Just sharing what I thought when I saw them playing. Also, now that I'm overweight, I had a terrible chafing from waking around an amusement park in a summer dress.

Me too!!!! Especially in summer ( shorts are too revealing)

BBC always struggles with covering religious communities. When they covered the Hutterites I almost felt it was religious Guantanamo till the full story came out. Bruderhof got off lightly. I guess there wasn't much interesting. The BBC are liberally conservative I guess. lol Close-minded to religious stuff

So nice of you!
