No internet #internet is Babylon# Library internet with a brother observing #making it hard to use is good# Heavily filtered school internet for adult members. #having to leave the house to use it is good Whi...

I have read that “2% of all newborns in Bolivia in 2024 were born to German Mennonites, up from 0.2% in 1980. German Mennonites have a Total Fertility Rate of 7 kids per woman, while for Bolivia as a whole it is 1.7 kids per woman.”. That would make Bolivia have a higher percentage of German speakin...

I was reading a study titled "Old German Baptist Brethren: Plain but Different" It's an interesting read. They mention that one noticable difference between the OGBB and other plain groups is a thing called "Orthopraxis" 3. Orthopraxis: An Emphasis on Conformity to Specific Pract...

That's interesting, do you know which area/state in the Midwest the horse and buggy one is located?

Another group to consider are the Old Brethren German Baptists from Camden, Indiana and Trenton, MO. They are the most conservative German Baptist group in existence. No tractors, no electricity, and no phones. They are of course English speaking. What is this groups view towards seekers? Are they ...
