      Will your aunt Mary have any consequences if they find out she spoke with you? I have a stricter Mennonite family with very strict Amish friends and learned if they spoke to someone who was shunned they would also be shunned. I guess they would have no way of finding out unless they saw this some how.

      personally if i hated my life in the amish community and i hated the people in it, i wouldn't want to be buried or associated with them. obviously the way that the shunned dead get treated is absolutely horrible, yet it's almost comforting to know that eli's father and the other man's final resting place is removed from the rest of the dead in the cemetery. it makes people remember who they were and why they did what they did, which honestly could inspire more people to reflect of the amish community and why it would lead someone to taking their life. idk if this makes sense and this is just my opinion

    I grew up with Amish people. The women are mistreated. I once knew a woman who had the longest hair I had ever seen, I told her how amazing I thought it was and she told me how she wasn’t allowed to cut it or she would be punished. I saw Amish people differently. But there were so many amazing Amish people, the Amish kids I used to play with were some of the nicest I’ve ever met.

    Eli’s story is so sad and shows the abuse that can be hidden in such a closed environment. That being said, it sounds like he grew up in pretty strict Amish community. I was Amish for 16 years of my life and my experiences were mostly all good and healthy. The Amish culture is so nuanced and each church has slightly different rules, so it is very hard to lump them all together. Most Amish people live in a healthy loving environment, and that’s why we don’t see hundreds leaving the church daily.

    It's so upsetting to hear so many stories about loved ones having to live up to certain expectations, and then get ostracised later on when they don't conform to those standards. These stories are often forgotten, and it's important our generation learns about them. I had heard about the Amish community ages ago, but have forgotten ever since. These small details shape the next generation, and we must learn from these mistakes.

      The Amish community is full of rape, incest, beating one year old infants, etc. Drug dealers, thieves get punished more than pedophiles in the Amish communities do. Victims told me stories of inappropriate touching, groping, fondling, exposure to genitals, digital penetration, coerced oral sex, anal sex, and rape, all at the hands of their own family members, neighbors, and church leaders.
      Both parties have to go before the church, and confess about what happened and the victim has to ask the male perpetrator for forgiveness for having tempted him. It’s the woman’s fault. The women are also warned not to report to police, to outside authorities. If they do, they are going to be ex-communicated by the church.”

    I'm glad Eli escaped from the toxic place he has been raised in. It was a brave thing of him to do. And his father's death was pretty sad like I would literally stay as far away from a community that shunned me because of my own decisions and just not treating my father with the respect he deserves
    I hope Eli lives a happier life, thanks for showing us his story, Ben

    I actually didn't expect Eli Yoder to be in this video, he is actually really nice and wants to help the Amish, I see a lot of his videos on TikTok and I do believe he is doing the right thing. Keep up the work Eli if you are ever reading this, same with you ben, You make really good videos!

    I was in Plymouth, Massachusetts on a road trip and staying in this hotel. My family and I were by the pool and this Amish guy came over and sat with us and this other group and they started talking and he told us how his ex wife’s father was the leader of a cult that shaved off Amish’s beards. He told us how he had to take his two daughters (who were at the pool) away from his wife. I think you can see the whole story online somewhere but the thing that surprised me was that this guy had a flip phone and to get there he had this older couple drive them around on a vacation. Also in Plymouth there is a deli called “The Yellow Deli” and it is run by a cult called the “Twelve Tribes” it’s very interesting stuff.

    There is an Amish community not too far in my state MO. Bowling Green. It's so interesting to see the horses parked at Dollar General. The part about Eli's dad got me though. Lost my father a couple years back to fentanyl. I'm glad it seems like Eli is ok.
