Thanks for the heads up,  Ray.  Looks like these are photos of a branch
called the Old Colony Mennonites. Since Amish and Mennonites don't have
anything better to do for excitement, they indulge themselves in a game
called "Church Split." The OC Mennos are a very tiny splinter group found in
Canada and especially Mexico, where they have fallen on hard times and where
some at least engage in smuggling marijuana to Canada. There was a
sensational cover article in the Canadian magazine "Saturday Night" back in
April 2004 titled "The Mennonite Mob". They even have a godfather.

For a scholarly article on their background from The Mennonite Encyclopedia:
