Hutterites

Hutterites are a group of persons who are members of this Anabaptist and pacifist religion that evolved as an outgrowth of the Protestant reformation of the early 1500's.

This religious group was named after Jacob Hutter, who was burned to death at the stake in 1536 as a heretic by order of the Holy Roman Emperor, a Hapsburg King.

The early Hutterites lived in Austria, Bohemia, Moravia, Slovakia, Transylvania (then Hungary) and Wallachia (southern Romania) before continuing on to two major locations in European Russia (now the Ukraine). They emigrated to South Dakota starting in 1873 and then went elsewhere to Canada about 1918 and later some returned to America.

Many Hutterite descendants now live in small colonies in western Canada (Alberta, Manitoba and Saskatchewan) and the north central and western United States (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota and Washington State.

Hutterite preachers have been diligent in recording the family histories and vital events of their colonies in church books. This is a case of genealogy helping genetics research.

Hutterites stop schooling at 15. They have very small class sizes and some schools use the Montessori(I will talk about this in my next post) method.

This means Hutterite children have an almost zero exposure to Subliminal Distraction.

Researchers are saying that this could be the reason why Hutterite Colonies have very low incidents of Schizophrenia.
