Members of The Brethren see the world as hopelessly corrupt and believe that they are the end-times remnant of Jesus' church; all others are deceitful and wicked. They live a vagrant, migratory lifestyle, sometimes taking odd jobs for spending money. The men all wear beards and the women wear long dresses and do not cut their hair. Women are restricted to the traditional female roles of cooking and child rearing.
In their theology, the group is millenial, apocalyptic, and strictly puritan. Married members remain married but no new marriages are allowed since these are the end-times.
