#amish etho saga

amish etho is my personal conspiracy theory. his lack of knowledge for a lot of pop culture, mispronouncing words (rhythm.) because he never heard them before because he was only allowed to read books. he does a lot of physical jobs in his real life (as opposed to hiring a professional). OBVIOUSLY etho's family was formerly amish and moved out of that lifestyle when etho was young and he assimilated pretty well but not good enoguh. i see you amish etho. its either that or autism

Jehovah's Witnesses came up on Scar's stream with Joel and Etho today and all I could think about was the Greater Amish Etho Conspiracy Saga

It has been my firm belief for a long time now that Etho IS, beyond a shadow of a doubt, a Jehovah's Witness. Here is some of my very reasonable and not at all completely insane evidence:
Etho hid the fact that he was a Minecraft YouTuber from all his friends and family during the first few years. There's a CotD when he talks about what it was like telling everybody, including two of his "teachers", who apparently disapproved of him playing videogames for a living. JWs and other cults disapprove of internet based careers because they want to limit people's exposure to potentially "harmful" ideas. (https://youtu.be/ZFsZDL2Vc_E?t=2213)
JWs are told not to seek higher education, Etho didn't go to college (https://youtu.be/BYgCOGO0qtc?t=1374)
When Etho mentions says "I'm not into christmas" to Beef, Beef replies "I know, you're into the religion of Etho" to which Etho replies "yes." (https://youtu.be/-_3nI8wh-9M?t=747)
A very small example but when in Double Life Joel and Etho are threatening Grian and Scar, Etho is slightly uncomfortable when Joel uses religious language. (https://youtu.be/DyRLt3-YBlI?t=1328)
Also in the life series, Etho was the only person not to attend Martyn's birthday party.
Of course, Etho being a JW doesn't make him complicit in the evils of the Watchtower Society.
How come yall never ask me how my day was or normal shit like that

i think ive become an amish etho truther ur one anon saying hes probably not even canadian convinced me because to me his accent always sounded more wisconsin (like pronouncing bag as bayg) and there r sooo many amish people there. also if we assume hes in his late 30s the timeline works out as he wouldve started his youtube channel shortly after his rumspringa ended which is when they decide whether or not to stay amish
theres a whole lot going on here but im very into the idea of etho faking being canadian like what was the reasoning. whats the first occurrence we have of him being confirmed canadian. id like to believe his accent is sort of weird (autism trait) so people assumed he was and it got him free friends in mindcrack (team canada, pause literally shouts him out on this day one) and now hes in 2deep

as a former mormon i can pretty confidentally say that etho is not one. he drinks coffee (big one) and he uploads videos on sundays (shock and horror) and also mormons are heavily encoraged to be open with their faith so that they can convert more people. i think we would have heard about it by now. iirc he's also mentioned getting drunk before, which is a big no-no. the gay rp too
this has been agreed upon yeah but honestly im more wondering about the getting drunk part of anyone has a source on that. not the roleplay where he flirted with a horse that one doesn't count

Etho is definitely ex-Mormon but his family still thinks he is religious so he can’t say swears on the internet. Poor lad
oh so having gay sex through the screen is fine but swearing is a step too far

etho can't be mormon because mormons don't drink coffee

even if etho isnt autism hes been claimed honorary neurodivergent by the autistic ethogirls from around the world
honorary neurodivergent is such a funny concept like yeah you might not be autistic but we think there is something so deeply abnormal about the way you act your neurons may as well be structured differently

Technically if I’m not wrong most Canadian amish are situated in Ontario.
Unless my brain just made this up in the depths of doublethink and doublespeak, doesn’t he live in Alberta?
While it is popular for amish people to run greenhouses, I can’t seem find evidence of Amish settlements in Alberta.
Amish people tend to treat their animals well but as fellow workers instead of pets.
Etho is known to have had at least one cat (Snuggles?) who caught ducks but he said that his cousins have had pets like snakes and hedgehogs.
While I’m not sure of this, I feel like Amish can’t have snakes for pets.
However, if he is/was Amish, that would explain why his dang darn earphones were never replaced until he could not use it any longer.
Otherwise, corrall him firmly into the autistic category :)
if he was amish he couldnt have headphones full stop but imsort of crying at the image of etho trying to hide his setup from his fellow amish like he smuggled that ugly ass headset into the barn to live out his dreams of being a minecraft youtuber... Like Ivr seen the outside world now... I don't want to till the fields ... I want to play Minecraft ...!!
Also does anyone have a cite on the cat thing I don't doubt you but I've never heard it before ...

Etho's growing a beard because recently the watchtower announced that male Jehovah's Witnesses are allowed to have beards (https://www.jw.org/en/news/region/global/2023-Governing-Body-Update-8/ @8:55)
so was he breaking jehovah law or whatever in 2015

Etho and his family traveled a lot when he was younger, I don't think he's Amish, just neurodivergent lol
well if there's one thing we can all agree of at the end of this is that no matter his religious beliefs etho is still the most autistic man to ever live

IRLEtho drinks beer sometimes, as admitted in OOGE & Don't Starve w/ Br0dyman. Don't think he is a JW. Could've been *raised* as a JW, but no longer a JW, like Tomska?
Alcohol is allowed with being a Jehovah's Witness (looked it up) but being drunk certainly is not, so at the very least, Minecraft Etho couldn't be a JW.
He made LOTS of alcohol in TerraFirmaCraft. He would "celebrate his harvest" by getting drunk. He flirted with his horse in season two.
Etho, in early TerraFirmaPunk, loudly proclaimed that he wasn't drunk (irl) while and after failing at knapping a few times.
Also, pretty sure his "funeral" celebration for his horse in TerraFirma S1 would not be smiled upon by JW elders hahahaha
PAUSE GO BACK? TOMSKA?

ok but people have unironically theorized about etho being jewish for years. i wouldn’t be surprised if he was raised jewish but i highly doubt he’s religious in any way.
honestly i wondered if it was a genuine thing because back when i first started watching him and learned he avoided christmas entirely i was like oh. is he jewish. but like i dont really care thats his business if hes not sharing it yk.

I was the one who made the original Etho feels like a JW confession and I've loved seeing the debate, thanks for hosting it. I also sent the Gay or European ask.
oh so this is YOUR fault

i find it so intriguing that all these ex-cult etho truthers are saying he was either amish or a JW. where are my ex-mo etho truthers. that man used to be mormon this is my story and im sticking to it (BIG OL SLASH-JAY HERE)
no bc literally my og tags were like "he's so mormon coded" admittedly i think that's just cause he'd look kinda funny in the little white shirt and black tie get up but ykyk we can work w it
