Established for the 500th Anniversary of Swiss Anabaptism on January 21, 2025, Free Mennonites are the newest Mennonite movement in Perth East, Ontario, an area of Canada which has been home to Anabaptists for over 200 years.
Unlike other Mennonite groups, Free Mennonites avoid all Artificial Intelligence (AI) based computer technologies. The primary purpose for this is their opposition to transhumanist philosophy, and its usage of AI to realize the union of humanity with what is referred to as the "singularity", including the implant of neural links with the human brain.
As a practical example, cars are acceptable, but not with AI powered computer screens on the dashboard. Home phones are acceptable, but not any types of AI empowered devices, especially those which may be worn, like AI glasses.
Free Mennonites are a 21st Century movement of Anabaptists. There are two branches of the Free Mennonite movement: Exoteric (Anabaptist) and Esoteric Elders. While the Exoteric Believers may marry, drive cars, and use non-AI based technologies, the Esoteric Elect Elders live very simply, generally do not marry, own phones, cars or private property, dedicating their lives to the pursuit of spiritual wisdom.
The goal of the Free Mennonite is knowledge, and therefore a variety of Scriptures are used, including Biblical, Apocryphal, and Gnostic texts. Based in the quest for philosophical, historical, scientific and religious truth, the movement supports the organic spiritual progression of humanity in the 21st Century.
