Do the children go to a school? Do the adults work? Do you use money? Is there a trade system? Do you prefer a tech-free life? Anything you want but do without?.. Do you like outsiders? Would you prefer the whole world to live this way? or are you just content with your small and maybe growing community? How does one become one of you? Are you ... inbred?" Karina asked, but as she added the last word she said just above a whisper. She couldn't understand how they couldn't be if they never married/dated outsiders. Eventually they would all become related right? Karina dismissed the thought.<br/><br/>Patience heard the questions with astonishment.  So many questions so quickly.  She found that she would like to answer some of them for herself, but Mr. Yoder was already talking again.<br/><br/>"Well, that's a fair bit of questions, but i will try answer the ones I remember.  We have our own school, kindergarten through 12th.  A few of our folk have actually go on to attend university, though usually in for teaching or some trade craft.  All of the adults work, in different ways.  Our community makes furniture and most of the men work doing that, in our workshop, or raising pigs, which is our second biggest money maker.  The women tend to the children and our big gardens, as well as the house work and the canning and feeding the animals and any number of other chores."  Mrs. Yoder nodded.  "We use money just like everyone else, selling our furniture and pork to outsiders.  Amongst ourselves I suppose we do barter a bit.  We like our life the way it is.  It makes it easier to be like Christ, seeing as we're not distracted by worldly possessions and obsessions.  I suppose it would be nice if the English (word for outsiders) lived like us, but there's good people out in the world as well.  Most of use are born to this life, but sometimes folk come to visit and just stay.  As to inbreeding, well that would be just foolish, though I do say a far number of us are second cousins.  We used to send our young men out to other Hutterite communities, looking for wives, but recently we kind of split with them over some matters.  If your really interested we do have a website with blogs and..."<br/><br/>He was interrupted by a very angry woman, who stood looming over Patience.  She was older, with steel gray hair and a starched appearance, even for the Brotherhood.  She held a switch in her hand and was hemming and hawing at the back of Patience's head.  A moment before Patience had been smiling, but as she saw the looks on the Yoders' faces, she started to turn pale.  She started to rise, but an old claw clamped down on her shoulder, preventing her escape.<br/><br/>"I.... have... never.... met such a disobedient daughter before.  You act like the spawn of the Devil and expect me to take care of your every need!  You will come with me right now, and accept your whipping, or I will whip you in front of this whole blessed community!"  The woman sounded almost desperate in her anger.
