The Bruderhof''s foundation is faith in Jesus. His teachings are central to Bruderhof life - particularly the command "Love your neighbor as yourself," the Sermon on the Mount, and His teachings concerning nonviolence, faithfulness in marriage, and compassion for the poor. Bruderhof members share the beliefs as recorded in the Apostles'' Creed and the Didache.
The Bruderhof follows the practices of the first church in Jerusalem, whose members were (according to the Book of Acts) of "one heart and mind, and shared all things in common." Bruderhof members do not hold private property, but rather share everything. No Bruderhof member receives a salary or has a bank account. Income from all businesses is pooled and used for the care for all members, and for various communal outreach efforts.
The Bruderhof is a peace church whose members do not serve in the armed forces of any country. They claim to model a way of life that removes the social and economic divisions that bring about war. The goal of the Bruderhof is to create a new society where self-interest is yielded for the sake of the common good.
The Bruderhof movement draws inspiration and guidance from a number of historical streams including the early Christians, the Anabaptists and the German Youth Movement.
THIS IS THE WELL-ADVERTISED VERSION OF THE BRUDERHOF -- NOW READ OF THE ODIOCY BY A BRUDERHOF ORPHAN - AN ‘UNTERMENSCH’ LIKE OTHERS, WHO TOO, WERE AT THE MERCY OF DIVINE ‘MEN OF JESUS VETTER’ LIKE HEINI ARNOLD! FROM THE AGE OF SEVEN I WAS ANALLY PENETRATED BY HIM, IN THE QUEST FOR 'FORGIVENESS' FOR HAVING EVIL THOUGHTS? HERE TOO ARE SOME FACTS OF MY FRIEND DIETER MANFRED HOLZ, A CO-ORPHAN OF THE BRUDERHOF. HE IS NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE A FINAL RESTING PLACE IN THE CEMITARY AT HIS "NEW HOME" BROMDON, WHEATHILL, SHROPSHIRE, U.K. ALLOCATED TO HIM BY THE WHOLE BRUDERHOF COMMUNITY IN 1949, "THIS IS YOUR NEW HOME" HE WAS TOLD WHEN HE CAME AS AN 'WAR-ORPHAN'. HIS GRAVE WAS DESECRATED BY THESE DIVINE PEOPLE, - AMERICAN CROOKS, MALFEASANTS, GANSTERS AND 'MURDERERS', THAT DESTROYED THE HOSPITAL OF THE BRUDERHOF! TO THIS THEY SERVE TEHDEL THE DEVINE SON OF HEINI ARNOLD TO THIS DAY IN ALL THEIR DEVIOUS DEEDS !
On the Bruderhof anyone could and would do to orphans what EVER they wanted and how, 'we' had no protection from violence what so ever, especially in Paraguay! All 'we' had to do is: "be thankfull"! (Like in Charles Dickens 'Great Expectations & Oliver'.)
ALL THE SAME, THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEMBERS ON THE BRUDERHOF WHO JOINED BEFORE / DURING AND JUST AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR WERE REALLY GOOD AND HONEST PEOPLE. 'THEIR HONESTY' WAS A LARGE CONTRIBUTER TO CRIMINALS USING 'THE HONESTY OF MOST MEMBERS' TO DESTROY THE BRUDERHOF IN 1960 - 1961! IN THE TWILIGHT OF THEIR LIVES MANY GOOD BROTHERS AND SISTERS WERE EXPELLED WITH NOTHING, HAVING TO DEPEND ON DIFFERANT WELL-FAIR STATES AND SYSTEMS FOR SURVIVAL IN DIFFERANT PARTS OF THE WORLD. THE BABTISM VOWES WERE ALL CONCOCKTED BY CROOKS GANGSTERS AND CHARLETONS WHO ALWAYS REMAINED AS THE 'PO-GUAZUS' (the holy men) OF THE BRUDERHOF, UNDER A VAIL OF HOLYNESS.
