American Colony: Meet the Hutterites, a documentary - series premiere. The show prior to this was about ex-Amish. I have never heard of the Hutterites before. Is anyone else watching this?

I haven't ever heard of them either. And no, I won't be watching.

But I did find this on WIKI



Hutterites (German: Hutterer) are a communal branch of Anabaptists who, like the Amish and Mennonites, trace their roots to the Radical Reformation of the 16th century. Since the death of their founder Jakob Hutter in 1536, the beliefs of the Hutterites, especially living in a community of goods and absolute pacifism, have resulted in hundreds of years of odyssey through many countries. Nearly extinct by the 18th and 19th centuries, the Hutterites found a new home in North America. Over 125 years their population grew from 400 to around 42,000.

I had googled it earlier too and read that. I doubt that I will watch any more episodes.

Apparently there is a Hutterite Community up this way (north central MN) and I've heard a few things about them..... none of which has been very good. I haven't watched the show either...but might at some time.
