They are good people, you just have to know in what they believe in and how they structure their life. I grew up not far away from one of these colonies and through my job I deal with them from time to time. They still speak some sort of German dialect, even after 400 years in Canada. They don't mind technology, though they shun things like TV or other media and they have strict control on how someone can use the Internet. The women and girls have to cover their head with a scarf, from birth. Men and women don't work and don't eat together. If you want to leave the colony for something (because you need to go to a doctor or you want to visit someone), you will have to ask for permission from the elder. Even contacting someone who isn't in the colony requires permission.

It's a very strange life compared to ours. And every year you have some kids from these colonies running away. They almost all end up as drug addict in a bigger city like Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Calgary and so on. They can't handle the modern life, but also hate the life on the colony.
