I think it’s more about ones which aren’t set up very well to integrate seekers.

I don’t know, there might be more then one type (in Washington) but the minister I spoke to literally told me to go to the charity type Hutterites.

What is this groups view towards seekers? Are they similar to the Covington German Baptists which are apparently 1/3rd outsider background?

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

So in reality this thread is about Anabaptist groups that have practice guarded media and how comfortable outsiders feel when they join?

I believe they are in Kansas but have not personally met them. I have met some of the car driving ones from PA.
