The Hutterites - Hutterite Colony - Driven to Sustain

Those who know Hutterites know that they are very traditional people. It is, therefore, no surprise that they have firm political beliefs and very conservative views about the world around them. Most Hutterites do have a source of outside news, typically the local paper. Its how the colony interprets the news that is especially interesting. Most of the views of the Hutterites Ive spoke with about global issues are direct translations from the newspapers. The opinions of Obama were suspected terrorist; climate change doesnt exist because President Bush discredited humans involvement over 8 years ago. Translations like these happen frequently in the colonies, but very seldom does this source of global information affect their daily routine. Although thats unless a Hutterite catches an article on becoming more resource efficient in their lives and a Hutterites attention will be caught. You see, Hutterites are hardcore conservative in a lot of ways than just politically. They are by far the most efficient group of people I have ever witnessed. Its not because Hutterites are trying to save the world from climate change but because they put higher value in resources than the average person. Something I believe, western culture can learn from this amazing society.

This system is flawed to high heaven, ex-hutterite here, get barrage of calls for monetary assistance from next of kin still back in the colony..specially this time of year, this is an advanced form of slavery,most of these people are miserable as hell, they get no compensation whatsoever, their kids are taught from childhood on that leaving is against the will of God, so fear is the element that glues them together in most cases, alcoholism is prevalent, political rivalries are common.

i grew up in a colony, trust me when i say its a cult they will never show you the shit that is going on behind the scene. making a living and doing the community thing is one thing but there is more than what meets the eye here. just watching this video gives me the creeps. truly a nest full of unclean birds!

I have a small family business and would like to advertise in a Hutterite newspaper. Can anyone recommend a paper that covers the entire Hutterite communities throughout the USA and Canada. We currently use the Budget for the Amish.

The music makes it hard to understand what is being said.

3rd people do know rumors of this and wonder if it's true, I've been asked many times and I'm just getting the story out there. 4th it always seems that it is always someone who in anyway is or was involved in a colony is always trying to tell that it's not true. Suspicious?

[Warsteiner552]

matthfr1, I never said you were forced to stay in a colony as I know that there are times when people do leave. 2nd no one in my mind set would even bother trying to join a colony. We have it too good out here with television, rock n roll and country music.

[wurtzgood]

@matthfr1 "yawn" another cyberspace wannabe, your cheap shot doesn't warrent a wordy response

[matthfr1]

@wurtzgood hey buddy,i know hutterites, im an ex hutterites. you sound like a sore looser to me. you are not forced to stay in the colony. Just becouse you were to lazy to make it in the colony doesnt mean you have to trash em. just sayen.

Everytime you touch her anywhere else they slowly take away money until your left with nothing. Plus it is supervised by a guy who will watch you the whole time. I suggest if your blonde haired and blue eyed stay away from the cock suckers to avoid the worst sex you'll have your whole life.

First she has a mask over her face or is hidden behind a somewhat see through blanket. The only point of contact allowed is between your crotch and hers.
