    Your parents were true pioneers...not only in the sense of a different location but also in the search for truth and freedom in Jesus. Mr and Mrs Miller Miller are amazing and courageous people. I have watched this multiple times. Gr8 video.

    This such an amazing story! Your father went through so many trials to get to where he is today. A truly humble man. He said that one person couldn't stand up to make a change, but that's exactly what he did. What a lovely family. ❤️

    I can relate to your dad. I grew up a Jehovah's Witness and I kept discovering things within the bible that went contrary to the church's teachings. Anytime I brought it to the elders/leaders attention they couldn't explain why they were not doing what the Bible said. I just finally couldn't continue in that church knowing they were not following the scriptures. Your dad is right, one person can't change things when people are stubborn and have their minds made up. I left the JW church in my late 20's.

    Many have commented on the people your parents are . . . God fearing, humble, wise, brave, industrious, resourceful . . . and, rightly so! But, in addition, this filming takes the "oral tradition" to the next level! Without a doubt, it is one of the greatest gifts you have bestowed on all future generations of your family.

    A wonderful interview (really a conversation) with your Dad. Very special as I head to Texas for my fathers 98th birthday. I have a Meadowlark home on Pine Creek Rd west of Troy. I first met Elvie about 15 years ago and finally was able to buy the kit and start with my son reassembling it. Meadowlark came to my rescue as I realized what I had gotten myself into! I am watching your videos and found you because I needed to cut good windows and doors! You are an excellent teacher: thank you Joas! I consider Elvie, Joseph, Jabel, Jalyn, Ben and many others at Meadowlark my friends. And now you, Priscilla and children. What a blessing you and your family have been to mine.

I love your Amish culture because I love what God loves. Tell your father to put his hands on his wife's neck and say "be healed and restored right now in the name of Jesus" tell your dad to say "I am the man of this house and of this family and I have the authority in Christ Jesus and I command my wive neck to be healed and restored right now in Jesus name amen. So be it and it is so.

    I love listening to the elders. You're the same age as my daughter and my youngest brother. I'm the oldest. Was 18 when my brother came to us, 19 when my daughter was born. My Dad died in May of 2021 from congestive heart failure, aged 82. The last birthday I got to celebrate with him was just a couple weeks before the Covid lockdowns, when we were barred from visiting him at the nursing home. He had just gone to live there a few months earlier. Wished we could have kept him home but didn't have the medical care he needed. Living in this modern society we're bound to modern, heartless insurance rules. It's not the way God intended. May God bless and keep your family.
