If we have jobs and protocols in life then we must behave in certain ways if we want to keep and not lose our job and even family connections!! Going through the required education required to become Catholic made me aware of so many misconceptions of my adopted faith.

You would think after years of Catholicism the world would have a clearer picture of us but, as with you, those that are not interested will cling to myths instead of seeking truth.

I appreciate your views and also the opportunity that NG provided to learn just a little about your faith. Thank you. One thing you did not talk about is the importance of Hutterites to the economy of Montana. If Mr. The Hutterites are not some isolated, backward cult — far from it. The biggest misconception I had about the Hutterites was thinking that they lived to glorify God and follow His will. Of course you still have your hutterites that are believing and doing everything right, but the younger generation has changed somewhat.

They could have removed some certain things that were a bit offended but for the most part, its not that far off from how some hutterites live.

Personally, I found it refreshing that they swore a bit, and drank beer, and occasionally rebelled against some of the stricter traditions. They are REAL people! They are facing life in the 21st century just like the rest of us, but in their very own way. I have grown quite fond of the show, and the people— I can see how never having to worry about loans, credit cards, debt, etc. Thanks to NatGeo for opening the door, and to King Colony for being brave enough to let us in.

I was wondering if anyone had the recipe for egg patties as seen on Meet the Hutterites? I love this series and applaud King Colony for allowing a peek into their lives. Although the media is famous for skewing what is filmed through editing, scripting, etc.

I think the average Christian person can read between the lines and sort out the truth. These are hardworking, God fearing, honest people who are dealing with human problems like everyone else. I wish I could meet them in person! I love this T. I find their way of life very appealing. Claudia should be careful for what she wishes for. She has a wonderful life. There is nothing like the friend ship and true love they have for one and another. It would it be nice if the whole world could work like that.

I think it is their faith in God that makes it work. I would think that more of the Christian values that the Hutterites hold to would be brought forth to try to deal with some of the problems I saw them having. I am not Hutterite, but have been around and in strict Pentecostal church. I know that when the women there are not allowed to wear makeup or pants, they are quick to let others know that it is God that they do this for.

When they start to slip away and do things they should not do, they are reminded of this. The lack of respect for the elders, the seeming disregard for the beliefs they are supposed to hold to, the cussing, drinking, and individual pridefullness is concerning.

They seem to have such a deep concern for how others view them and more of a lack of concern for their beliefs and how God would view them. I think they are also being more reactive in many situations, rather than proactive. I only watched one show, but it seems that they are trying to find some projects to do at the last minute for money to pay bills.

They should have lumber for the beds on hand for making the beds if that is what they do for money. I think that the premise of living as a colony and sharing in the work is a good thing.

It would allow for being far more self sufficient than what I saw there. Different families doing different things for the common good. There should be little outside the colony that is needed that cannot be produced.

I believe,that the show was like all types of media put revenue and hype first. They are willing to sacrifice the reputation of Christians to undermine their credibility.

I have read the letter to the producers and National Geographic and the 20 letters from members of the King Colony that were included, many from the main participants in the series. I have watched the show, I assumed from the beginning it was a reality type show and that some dramatization for ratings sake would be done, but self admitted out and out staging and LIES? A staging of a heart attack? These cross the lines, quite simply, all of it was done for the cash and I find the pretense of a deeply religious community to be laughable.

To my mind, just another hypocritical Christian sect, just that simple. Let me begin by sharing that I am not a Hutterite. I was very disappointed in the show on NatGeo because I thought I would be able to learn more about Hutterites as a people and a faith. Other shows about the Amish and Mennonites I believe enabled those of us who have never had any contact to understand and appreciate these various faith based societies. One of the issues the colony faces is how much modern technology to accept and how to incorporate it into their lives.

One person told Mr. It is not clear whether the cameras in the hands of the school children nearly four years ago inspired this latest attempt to make information about the Hutterites available to a wider public.

Despite very different approaches, the two projects have somewhat similar goals. The University of North Carolina at Greensboro. Submit Search. Toggle navigation Toggle search iSpartan Email. UNCGenie System. UNCG Directory. Search UNCG.
