What’s the difference between the Amish and Mennonites?

Although there are many similarities, there are just as many differences as well.

For example: Yoder is very common last name among the Amish. Dyck is a very common last name in the Mennonite community.

Not to say that there absolutely aren’t any Yoder’s among the Mennonites, but that’s generally a very rare occurrence.

However? …it’s much more likely that a Dyck slips out occasionally and finds its way inside the Amish

I've met Mennonites one time and they just seem to me to be very conservative protestants who I believe never support war of any kind. I'm sure there's a bunch of other things they believe.


We have Amish men that sell Amish-built storage sheds in Rogers, and there's a restaurant in Gentry that is Amish. Every bite of food in that restaurant is grown/made from scratch. I think Amish don't mind getting out in the community doing business, having a restaurants, etc, but I get the feel they don't want you in their community. And they hate if you take pictures of them.

One of the largest Amish/Mennonite populations in the country lies just to the south and east of where I live. I’ve been a couple times to a Sunday service at a Beachy Amish Mennonite church, which group is pretty much as close as you can get to the Amish proper, lacking an “in”. The Beachy are welcoming to outsiders (English is used during worship, for example, and they put out brochures in Mennonite and Amish stores with hours and directions) but you can get a strong feel for a very different culture. The Beachy use cars but they’re quite plain; no radio, no television, no internet.

I’ve seen parts of it.

I asked because that was one of the things they used to talk about all the time.

They would mispronounce (and usually out of context) a word but in use make it seem correct.

The group originated as The Dead End Kids, who originally appeared in the 1937 film Dead End.

So, our best bet for recovery of these lost jewels is up to all of us who even care. Here’s the comment exchange between Mike McCroskey and yours truly on that recent Babies thread, “Houston Babies Drop Two, 14-4, 13-8.” We uncovered three of Gorcey’s most famous malaprops – and these occurred long before a comedian named Norm Crosby started making his living with an act he built around mis-used words:

McCroskey Comment No. One: “Hey, I resemble that remark!”

MeCurdy Response: “Leo Gorcey could not have said it better!”

McCroskey Comment No. Two: “And I depreciate your comment.”

McCurdy Response: “And pardon me for protruding.”

I think this ran in various forms from the 30's to the 60's. Looking at these two, this was later on when they were adults, the earliest they were kids.

I'm wavering a bit though, because technically 1BIG is a ladyboy.
