    Welcome to The Amish Potato’s Channel. My name is Cj Miller. I was raised Amish in Shipshewana, IN. I was Amish until I was 16 years old, when I started dressing “English”, drove a car and partied on the weekends. This is called Rumspringa.
    I did this until I was in my late twenties. I then briefly joined the amish church, left again, and moved to Idaho where I discovered the truth of who Christ is, married my lovely wife and am now sharing my story on UA-cam.
    Thank you for watching and enjoy!

    The Amish from Chouteau, OK bale our hay (Chouteau is 15 minutes from us) and when we show the process people get so mad telling us they aren’t Amish 🤦🏻‍♀️ We’ve tried explaining to them the Amish in Chouteau is a little different. Glad someone else agrees. Ha!

    Baptism is just symbolic. It shows that you are buried with Christ and like Christ have risen again.
    It is not necessary for Salvation.

    I just discovered your channel & watched this video. I'm sorry for your loss of your grandma. I was born & raised in Berne, IN, where there is a large Old Oder Amish community, very conservative. Even open buggies are considered too worldly. My paternal great-grandparents were originally Amish, but left & became Mennonites. I'm sure I still have many Amish relatives...with a last name of Schwartz, it's pretty much a given! My paternal grandmother, my father & his siblings, all became members of the Apostolic Christian Church, as did myself, my siblings, my wife & our daughters. After getting married over 51 years ago, I lived in Bluffton, IN until October, 2021, when we moved to TX, to live next to our daughter, son-in-law & 7 of our grandchildren. I will explore your channel more & thank you for your posts!😊❤

    So sorry for your precious loss. I'm just catching up on your news. I love my family are you're neighbors and friends and part of the community to help with funeral chores and duties. I have a nephew, still Amish, living in Chouteau, OK. My IN family are uppity? Ok. They do have beautiful farms, gardens, and flowers. I was nearby recently, but only met up with my sister in Angola. I was visiting from Toledo and couldn't spend the night in Goshen. I love going "home" as often as I can.

    So let me ask this. Your Bishop does not think you are going to Hell because you left the church and are now and outsider? I have always heard and read you are going to hell if you leave the faith no matter what. I am sorry about the loss of your grandmother. It is heart breaking but also a relief that they are no longer suffering or in pain and the family is lifted of the task of caring for them.

    On baptism it is our witness or visual witness to the world that we have committed to follow Jesus as our Lord and Savior. It is in scripture and ashamed I don’t have it memorized where it is in the Bible.

    You said ' Having a elder parent to take care of in your house is a difficult and stressful'........Parents Don't complain about the difficulties and stress of taking care of their dependent babies and children in their home !!

    @1:00:58 God is omnipresent so just because he made hell doesn't mean he isn't spiritually there also - because he is also a God of enforcing justice. Psalms 139: 8 "If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there." The Hebrew word "Sheol" literally hell. שְׁאוֹל

    @28:00 Its my understanding that the mainstream Church of Christ broke off from Pentecostal traditions (aka Church of God, Cleveland TN branch) due to not using instruments in praise and worship music. Even though Psalm 150 CLEARLY SHOWS ALL INSTRUMENTS!!!!! ... yeah so you can see I went to a Church of God for many years :P

    MANY WILL BE BAPTISED BY WATER BUT NOT BE BAPTISED BY THE BLOOD.
    MANY WILL HAVE THE PHYSICAL CIRCUMCISION BUT NOT HAVE THE CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART.
    THEREFORE WHICH IS GREATER?
    WHICH ONE WOULD THE GOD WHOM LOVES US ENOUGH TO SACRIFICE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON FOR OUR SINS SAY IS GREATER AND AN ACCOUNT TO HIS LOVE AND GRACE?
    BE BAPTISED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST.

    On the baptism thing I believe in baptism by total emersion unless it isn't available. Also IT DOES NOT SAVE YOU. The thief on the cross was a death-bed salvation and Jesus didn't go baptize him before saying he would be with him in Paradise. That is what we called a "legalistic" doctrine back when I believed I was called to preach. Jesus didn't call lawyers and attorneys to spread the gospel. He called regular men and women.

    Hey, I’m from Kalona Iowa. Interesting that you have been here. I’d love to be your tour guide if you ever come again!
    I had Amish grandparents, but my parents left and joined the Beachy Amish before I was born. However, my husband and I left there 30 years ago and attend a non denominational church. I still have lots of Amish relatives. Just guessing there are probably around 10 Old Order churches and two New Order churches. I have relatives in both.
    My Aunt, was from Chouteau OK. But lived in Iowa most of her married life. I wonder if you’re related. I also have a cousin who got married to a guy from Chouteau and lives there. Originally my parents and grandparents all moved to Iowa in the 1950’s from Thomas Oklahoma.

    One of your stories reminded me of a story my cousin told me about our grandfather. Grampy was supposed to have quit smoking but would say he was going to be welding something in his shop and would go smoke. Lol Anyway, my cousin Jimmy and his brother Johnny snuck out to the shop and got Grampy's unfiltered Camel cigarettes and went off into the pasture to smoke. I think they were preteens or young teenagers. Grampy caught them, but he knew very well that he couldn't tell on them without telling on himself. 😂😂 He made them smoke several back to back until they were both feeling sick, then told them he'd tell their parents if they ever did that again. 😂😂
