Not sure how you tube finally recommended this series but it’s addictive and I love how gospel infused it is.
Yes, this is my 4th show in a row now. I am learning so much about the history of the churches. Things that I never knew before. I am SO incredibly thankful for Jesus and His Word that we can test everything by. As a Christian with German roots, I understand the importance of learning and knowing Jesus Christ directly through His Word, not man’s word. Each one of these shows that I’ve been watching from this series has brought me to my knees in praise and worship for the TRUTH of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ being shown through His Word to His people that have not been taught properly through these different branches of the faith. He really does set us free. The truth (that Jesus IS) will always set us FREE from the bondage of man’s traditions. This makes me cry with gratitude to see how He works in the hearts of His people. His love, His truth, His light is just so incredibly beautiful and magnificent! There aren’t words to describe my emotions this morning as I have been enjoying this series.
I praise the Lord Jesus Christ for setting the captives FREE. Including me. 🙌💝
Amein!
I know same with me it just popped up and I can’t stop watching!
What is gospel infused?
The standout of this is how faithful the Amish and ex-Amish tend to be, even when they're pained by their church's teachings. In a world where most Christians probably don't think much about their faith, it clearly is a continual focus even for Amish who have left the Amish Church and discovered assurance of salvation, and salvation by grace. Reading American history (and living today) I've often had the sense that for most American Christians religion came third, after money and politics. But it clearly does not seem this way for the Amish or ex-Amish.
Mother Graber is the breakout star of this series for sure! I could listen to her recollections of her childhood for hours. Even the mole nightmares!
Mother Graber is a great story teller. She is beautiful
She seems like such a sweet, loving and kind momma. That’s so, so important.
She is adorbs...
I couldn't agree more! I've been wanting to hear more from her since I first saw her in episode one!!
Youve got such a professional documentary style, I really enjoyed it. You should be on TV youve got a real talent as a family to do documentaries. I could listen to your family all day teaching me history.
it is very necessary for shunning as a practice, because otherwise they would not exist
I can't imagine all the efforts of travelling and editing that were done in this documentary. Thank you so much, sincerely. This should be on tv for sure
You have found your purpose my friend. You are helping the frightened and oppressed. Good message, Joseph.
When men become the gatekeepers to "true faith" cults are the result. Excellent series and focus upon the gospel. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith, not by works so that no man can boast... and born again, NOT of the will of man, but of the will of God.
Excellent point...”Gatekeepers”...
Faithful Gatekeepers keep it pure
It is the rebellious & poor in intellect, that mess it up
This is their culture, their belief is rather different to the rest of t world.
I have really enjoyed this series. Thank you for showing us what the Amish has been rooted in and how the gospel of Jesus Christ can change lives.
So very important is the gospel of Jesus Christ I will never be able to tell you! Believe and follow and he WILL support you! Just give him a chance to show you!
Wondering if the amish community to audubon county iowa build business
Check out exira iowa
Wasn't the Bible written by Man? Several of them?
@@davidkrosnia5123 There were 44 separate men who wrote portions of the Bible over a span of 1,500 years - all divinely inspired by the Holy Spirit - and yet, no contradictions or inaccuracies throughout.
I watched all the episodes Joseph you did such a great job interviewing and researching the Amish. I very much appreciate your approach and the respect you still paid to the Amish people. Please do more documentaries. God bless you and your family.
Ive watched 4 episodes in a row this afternoon! You’ve answered so many questions for me! I’m saddened by the divisions in the churches, since all true believers in Christ and salvation are THE CHuRCH and the Bride of Christ! As a grateful, saved Believer, I’m glad to know we can still bring our story of salvation to others! Thank you and your family for such uplifting stories of faith, and the victories for
Christ you’ve shared!
I am a Mennonite and for me this episode is the most interesting one. I have heard the history of the anabaptists since early childhood from the Mennonite view. This episode describes the problems of the anabaptists that still are there today. We still always fight each other where we should worship.
I'm not Amish, but I am a believer and a follower of Jesus Christ. There seems to be a spirit of control among the Amish. This spirit is also alive even in the modern day church. This was a very good series...it opened my eyes as well.
@@openeyesofheart yes. The spirit of control and manipulation is in the church today and needs to go!
@@openeyesofheart The spirit of control is also know as the Jezebel spirit. I am so Thankful our God gives us the choice, force must have resentment, not real love.
Quit fighting and start worshipping.
This 5 part series was most interesting. A credit to the Graber family for sharing their story and the stories of other Amish who followed the word of God, and the bible.
I enjoyed watching all episodes in an afternoon.
There is another part to this series, part 6. Thought you might be interested in it.
Such quality content and I just cannot stop appreciating how sweet and lovely this family is ❤️
This is fascinating! And so well presented. Thank-you for your good work.
Yeah
I agree! I’m here at episode 4. This is awesome and so interesting. Very well presented!
Very interesting! I'm a Lutheran so I differ in my beliefs on the sacraments ( Baptism and the Lords Supper) what an amazing period of time! We'd have a completely different country if people actually cared about faith in Christ! Thank you for this documentary! Very well done! BE SAFE,GOD BLESS!🇺🇸🙏❤
"This is why it's a sad legacy all the way around, because once these breaks were made, there is continual splintering that is hard to stop." That's a smart man right there.
I am English living in Lancaster Pa. Thank you so much for your insight! I had similar struggles in the Lutheran an Catholic churches. I loved legalism when I was younger, but the truth of Jesus and grace saved me! God's grace on your journey! I know he will use this information in some way for his glory!!
I am born in Switzerland in Huttwil, where the Grabers come from. I am also a guide for Anabatist Tours in Switzerland. Your films are very precious and valuable. Thank you! God bless
Thank you for a very informative look in a historical sense of how various faiths were formed. It is sad, however that people resorted to imprisoning and murdering others over their religious beliefs when they are supposed to project God's love for each other and lead members to God.
To me, this is the most valuable part of the series so far. I'm largely impressed by the effort they put into this project. The most comprehensible summary of the history of the Anabaptist movement I have found so far.
I agree!
I always have interested in the history of the church. I never could find the movement of the Baptist church. I grew up Lutheran and over the years I could only find history on the reformation of Martin Luther. I finely found one based on John Wesley the father of the Methodism church. The Baptist church has been the hardiest to find.
What a wonderful series! I had always had a very idealistic impression of Amish life. I can now only hope and pray that their eyes would be opened to the beautiful and TRUE gospel. I can only pray that their hearts would be opened to hear and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Amen.
I know what Mrs Graber means about hearing the wind through the trees and the cowbells. Its an amazing sound … kind of surreal in a way. And my dad didnt tell us those stories … how wonderful for her that she got to experience what her father told her about when she was a little girl.
As a life long Lutheran and a Presbyterian and Catholic school teacher, church history has always been interesting to me. I know much of the history but not about the Anabaptists. Thank you. I have family in Switzerland and in Berlin. Our Lutheran family hails from Austria and my Moms family from Denmark. I imagine my ancestors lived in the midst of these religious reformations.
This is a most amazing documentary. My ears and eyes really perked at this episode because of this history going back to Switzerland. I too am of Swiss lineage. I had no idea of the religious history. In my Swiss family there are as many Protestants as Catholics but I never knew of the Reformation years.
Well done Mr. Graber!
Watching this awesome addictive series in 2024. I don’t know why UA-cam recommended it, but I’m glad they did. I have learned so much!
You're a great filmmaker. You gave a clear and interesting explanation. Thank you very much.
Great presentation enjoy this history of the Amish
The best series I have watched in a long time. Brilliant and addictive to watch ! Finally something that a Christian family can watch together that starts a conversation about history and the Bible and what is means to be a Christian according to the Holy Bible ! I LOVE this series. Addictive and wholesome and enriching in so many ways.
Joseph, I have really enjoyed ‘Breaking the Silence’. I grew up in the Bristol Indiana area and am quite familiar with the Middlebury area. My dad even sells his maple syrup to some of the Amish nearby. This series was so interesting and educational, and really gives me a new perspective on the culture of the Amish people. I have always looked upon the Amish people as religious, devout and Godly, so it is quite a shock to see that people are leaving their flock to actually seek out the truth of Christ and the word of God. It was heartbreaking to listen to some of the stories of ostracization and family struggles that take place int he name of Christianity.
I dated a young man who was formerly Amish and he took me to his family’s home for Sunday dinner once. After watching your series, I now wonder how he and I were able to visit with his family. His father had passed, so it was only his Mother, siblings and 101 year old grandfather, who I had a most enjoyable walk and talk with out by their garden. There must have so much more to the story than I was aware of at the time.
I look forward to seeing more of your documentaries. Would love to see one on all of the different skills that the Amish have. I know that my father has hired them for different things over the years, such as siding the barn and sawing milling up a large maple stump into planks. And of course there is the Shipshi Sale that we all love to go to.
Unrelated to this, one of my fondest memories of the Amish in the area, is when my dad went to talk with the men who were goin to side the barn, I waited in the truck. While I waited, I watched a handful of Amish children roller-skating down the road. Such a sweet sight!
the reason you could visit his home is simple. every church has its own set of rules. one thing to keep in mind, did he actually ever get baptized in the amish church before leaving? if no then he wouldnt have been shunned. that goes for most amish churches in the middlebury area. i used to be amish as well btw hope that helps
Thank you for this wonderful documentary! I have a heart for the beautiful Amish people and will pray for them and that their eyes will be open to the grace of Christ
Im watching this with my 10 year old daughter and we are fascinated! Thank you very much for making this series. I agree it should be on TV
I am enjoying the series I don't know how it showed up on my feed but I needed a little break from the English world. I'm fascinated that you were shunned as a family and yet you still have a huge respect and you did this project with a huge respect for the Amish people. I learned how diverse they are I never knew that I was exposed to the Amish in Maryland and I just thought they were the same everywhere. I also learned the Amish don't read the Bible but they aren't the only people that don't read the Bible. Allegedly the Muslims don't read the Quran. Catholics don't read the Bible or they read the Catholic Bible and have a different idea about Jesus. I learned from your father that there's teaching Christianity with Grace or rules. Being raised Catholic in the old days it was all rules and no love. so it's been a fascinating experience I kind of stepped away from religion not God not Jesus but religion and this was a fascinating way of rethinking things so I thank you for that
Muslim here. Not sure where you heard that we don't read the Quran, but I wanted to correct you - we are all encouraged to read it and live by it. We consider it one of the most blessed actions that we can do. The Arabic language is still living/in use today even though there are numerous spoken dialects.
It is the separation, different religions and sects that is destroying us God's Children. It's really not that difficult, people think because our father gave us freedom of choice that it is difficult and strict. God wants you as you are, broken, weak, it matters not, for Our Heavenly Father Never will turn You away. None of us is without sin, but God gave his only Son to send the message and he was persecuted for ALL our sins, not some but ALL of God's Children, and he who believeth shall live eternally. The simplicity is so overlooked it is so Amazing, just as Father!!! It is in his prayer, one line that is the message, the goal of why we are here. Our mission??? On Earth as it is in Nevaeh, aka Heaven!!! We have much of it backwards because far too often we are living as man thinks we should, but we should live as God sees fit for us to live, and everyone's mission is different. It is not for one man to judge another, God is truly your only judge, and if you are living for his will, not your own, truly loving Your Truth as you understand is also God's will then you know and no one can tell you different and nothing will lead your astray. Don't be a Sheeple!!!! Live your Truth doing God's will, remember this is only a very small mission, one of many that you will gladly take part in for the main mission, on Earth as it is baçk home. 💜💜💜
Catholic here and I second what Ali said. I don’t know where you get the idea that we do not read our bible. And the Catholic bible is just as much bible as protestant.
I am not Muslim but I knew that the Muslims read the Koran, and some Muslims memorize the Koran. Catholics read the Bible and their Bible has additional chapters that the Protestants threw out.
I have been following your journey, and have thoroughly enjoyed where it has taken you and your whole family. I really didn’t understand or have any real knowledge of what the Amish believed Biblically, but have come to see a much clearer picture of their beliefs through your documentary. Leaving family and friends must have been so hard on all of you, but finding a personal relationship with Jesus Christ is by far the best for you all. And to see that you have a great mission to reach those you left for Jesus.
I have always wondered this. They are such a beautiful people and I was honored to have been able to meet them in person and invited to their church in their home and had them stay at our home in return.
These series are so exciting representing the amsih better than any movie prior to this in this depth. I had a real burden some years ago that could be done and thought of buying some machinery like thrashing machine and many horse drawn equipment.
All I could do was pray because I didn't have the means materially. So I see this as an answer to prayer and knowing some of the brothers and sisters makes it even more special right! Thank you Lord and thank you Joseph and everyone making this possible!
I lived in that setting for 28 years and I loved the culture in the most parts. But felt somewhat portrayed by them not teaching me the gospel.
My prayers as a young man of 15 and 16 was that I could have a family that could freely talk about Jesus. But the answer to those prayers came some 12 years later.
My friend's; that was deep. However, I enjoyed every minute of this video. Many thanks for sharing all of your time & energy that went into the making of this video! 4 down & some to go. Can't wait to get started on the next one. Have a beautiful day!!!!
These series are amazing. They are inspirational. We recently visited Lancaster PA and visited " Psalm 23 park" which is owned by an ex Amish man who was shunned because God told him to built the park so people could pray and find comfort for their hurting lives. You should try to make a documentary on his story as part of your series. And welcome to God's family. I love you.
Where is this park? I go to Lancaster a lot and would like to visit this park.
So fascinating! I learned so much from this! In researching my family history I have found that some of my ancestors were Anabaptists and were considered radicals. I believe these were some of the first ancestors to come to America.
Wow! This was absolutely fascinating! What is crazy is I have been to some of these places and never knew this history about the Anabaptist. I literally walked along this river in Bern, Switzerland and never knew about the Anabaptist martyrs. Now I want to go back!
This separation and breakdown usually occurs when a group focuses on what they don't have in common rather than focus on what they do have in common. It's sad that the Amish have lost their biblical roots in favor of a legalistic focus.
And, one thing I have noticed, when groups focus so much on “What they shouldn’t do” as opposed to,what they should do, that creates a huge imbalance. So, someone’s “holiness” becomes enveloped in “what they avoid doing” instead of loving one another as Jesus loved.
Every Christian church have lost their roots
I am not religious but this was a very well produced documentary. Glad all of these people found their way out to less invasive beliefs.
I’m not Christian I’m British (a follower of Britannia) however this is fascinating.
@@noodlyappendage6729 what is brittania ?? Is it a religion?? ....
@@kiran-yz8io Our religion is called Britannicism. We belong to the Britannic (British) Church. We follow Britannia.
@@noodlyappendage6729 so u dont follow jesus ?? .... As far as i know britain is turning into pro athiest country ... What u all do when u all in trouble in future without god??
@@kiran-yz8io The UK is turning into a more atheistic country but not necessarily a pro-atheistic country. Many people still believe religion is a good thing. Many people also still believe in a god or gods. There are more religions in the UK then there were 50 years ago. Our British ancestors lived without Jesus and Christianity for a very long time and they gave life to us today. I own a King James Bible and pick it up and read it every now and again and I enjoy it but I’m not a Christian. I have many values that could be considered Christian and I am partly culturally Christian (like most people are in the UK) but religiously speaking I think most of the UK is no longer a majority Christian country. And correct I don’t follow Jesus. I follow Britannia like my parents did and their parents before them.
Dr Luther did not break from Rome; he was excommunicated. After all, he was trying to reform the R.C. church, not to start a new church.
Beautiful series, well done!
I really enjoy this. You brother need to do a Christian TV series. As side note though, it is really important to realize and know that from Constantin times all the way to the reformation there was always a church alive and holding the truth. They have diferent names all throughout Europe. Paulinians, Albigences etc. The name used to identify all those different groups was anabaptist ( re baptizers in latin) They were the one persecuted by the catholic church all those centuries. I'm thankful for their faithfulness and testimony. The Lord Jesus said that the gates of hell will never prevel on His Church, so, the church didn't desappear and start again with the reformation. It has always been alive. Thank you for that great work brother. God bless you
This should be 1 million view's. I just love everything specially the family who make this happened. All the way from Republic of Ireland filipino. Many thanks. This is humanity.
What an interesting series. I've watched the first four episodes back to back!
Very well done
Yep, me too..
I have enjoyed these series so far!! Thank you! So much to learn from church history and to remember that despite all the chaos in the church, God is always at work!! Love from Uganda :)
THANK YOU - this is the best documentary on the old order amish i have ever seen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love your sincere way to talk about the amish story. I've watched four episodes in one time and I'm touched by the repectful reportage. Greatings from Switzerland.
When I first found and watched this series of documentaries about amish, I thought it was going to be very boring... I told myself what's so interesting?
After I watched a few minutes of the first episode, I became totally hooked on. I've seen a few other documentaries before Amish culture, but this one is amazing. I'm speechless....I loved it..
Excellent episode. As a descendant of Hans Reist/Barbara Ryser, I am very interested in the timing of the efforts by Jacob Ammann to get Hans Reist to adopt the Dortrecht Confession! I believe that Hans Reist eventually moved to Montbeliard and died there in early 1723.
Enjoying this series. It has answered a lot of questions about the church and my ancestors. I am a great (x7) grandson of Jacob Hochstetler, the man featured on the historical marker of the indian attack on his home.
This is such a Beautiful and well done series!!! I am addicted!!! I once lived in a small town in Minnesota where there was an Amish community. This series is so Beautifully done!!! I'm learning so much and am feeling all the emotional events right along with the family. This is done with wonderful respect and very educational. Thank you for sharing your family's story. 💜💜💜
A lot of work has gone into this documentary. Thanks for caring enough to enlighten people about the Amish and the history of the church.
Most enjoyable series. Thanks for bringing to us the ups and downs of these close-knit religious communities.
I love the history you are presenting and am learning so much from it. Thank you for this series. I have been prayin g for the Amish in our area so it is good to hear how God is answering prayer for I am sure others are praying across our nation.
This series is very well done. I’ve learned a lot. I live outside of Lancaster and see Amish all the time. I just assumed they were following the Bible and knew the word well. I was surprised how, over time, they drifted away from it and had their own set of rules and control.
But it is true, we all have good intentions but our sin nature will always fight for control. Bless you and keep up the good work.
You have done a wonderful job with the presentation and heart of this series! Brought me to tears several times. Thank you!
This man's videos are wonderful...he's respectful of much of the culture. His mom is very interesting with her stories too. But note the strongest faith is among those that left the Amish...
Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! As a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and having some familiarity with Lancaster counry. This series has been so enlightening. Very respectful and professionally executed.
A well done film series. Very interesting. It also reveals another example of how religious belief is a contaminating force in human lives. Creating sub-divisions among people based on their belief, to the point of imprisonment and death, is a contaminant, perpetuated by men in power. I also observe that the filmaker sought only his ancestors from his father's side, and not his mother's. This is an example of patriarchy. And I see that the experts they interviewed were all men. Religion is, above everything, a system of male dominance, male centrality, and male identification. The Gruber family, while escaping a closed punitive system of patriarchy, joined a more open, but still patriarchal, belief system. I still admire them for breaking away and appreciate what I'm learning in this film series.
Very well done. Excellent research and presentation.
Very good documentary.
I appreciate this. Although My ancestors were old order Brethren, my family came from the anabaptist movement as well. This gives a nice explanation of the past and the denominational splits after they came to America. Thank you for the Swiss- German heritage video.
well researched documentary that is deserved to be aired on TV
Excellent series. I learned so much about the Amish.
I am truly enjoying watching the series. What an unexpected pleasure to see my old friend, Doug Grandon on the screen! We met Doug and his family over 30 years ago when they lived in Central Illinois.
I'm always impressed that they can trace so far back. Great details
I don’t know how I got here, but I’m addicted! The faith that has come out of the Amish church is beautiful.
I grew up in Old Order German Baptist Church. My maternal grandfather was the lead counsel of the church for over 20 years. My paternal grandparents spoke Pennsylvania Dutch. My dad spoke no English until he started grade school. The fellowship is currently going through a 3rd division in the past 130+ years. Legalism is a big part of these splits. I was never a member of the church due to the legalism issues ie: higher education etc. Thank you for your documentary on the history of the Anabaptist movement.
Love it!! Good and honest movie! This should be in the History channel. God bless you!!
There are many similarities between the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Amish. One main one is how they keep their members in the group. They use fear. Fear of what will happen if you leave. You will lose all of your family and friends because they will no longer talk to you, or have anything to do with you. You are treated as if you are dead. That is not love.
I could see the same.
God is LOVE, that speaks volumes!
Scientology uses the same fear as well.
your right. same with government lies and fear
That's right. But I think those are common things to all cults.
Excellent series! So happy that Jesus is your Lord and Savior...and that you are all free from the oppressive religious rules!
I never really understood the Anabaptism, until this video. This really is a fascinating series. But, stepping back and looking at the BIG picture. It has not changed much over the centuries. It's still the same battle that Jesus had when He was here. Worship the Lord or the Law.
Many thanks for this great series. I have discovered it yesterday evening and just have watched part 3. Many greetings from Switzerland ☺️
This is the best historical documentary overview of how and where the Amish became the religious group we know of today. Thank you for this amazing series!
Thanks for sharing your journey. Very educational and spiritually inspiring. I came out of a similar legalistic background but God set me free about 40 years ago.
Oh and plus all the traveling the interviews and let's not forget the insane editing that I know had to be done for this documentary had to be hours and hours lol you guys done such an amazing job making this you really did so professionally done and beautiful
This was so interesting so much good information about the church I never knew…can’t wait to watch the rest of the series
This series is wonderful so well presented. The Amish clearly have good aspects. What comes out is that it gives a good foundation but the truth of the word makes their belief real as they have a personal relationship with God.
I have been following this series...well made, well documented, well done. I appreciate learning the history of the Amish church, the insight, and your family's journey. Thank you for making these enjoyable, informative, and authentic videos!
Fascinating and very well done video. Very interesting to learn history of the Amish Church.
Thank you! This documentary answers a lot of questions! Loved this information!!!! My children watched this and thought it was very interesting!!!!
Very well done. Understandable and simply explained. How wonderfull it is that Amish people are becoming born again by the Spirit of God and having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. I pray that many more eyes will be open and through these videos precious souls will be reached with the grace of God and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.Have you thought about making a video of the History of the ancient waldenses or Vaudois?
Thank you for explaining the history of christianity, and more precisely the Reforme. It is very rich and complex and your video makes it clear and interesting. It is so educational!
What a brave and well done series. Many "modern" christians could take a lesson in how precious our public relationship with Jesus really is. It should never be taken for granted that we in America can freely practice the religion of our choice in our own way. This is not possible in many places or situations. Special good wishes for Sam and Polly I wish them all of the best. Glory be to God and thank you for a very educational show.
I love this show. Keep them coming!!!
I could listen to the genealogist/historian for hours!!! He is just very cute!
So interesting. Thank you for this production!
Interesting history lesson on the origins of three Amish and Mennonites. Beautiful scenery.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings
What a blessing for all decedents of these people (including myself) that your family has undertaken this journey of discovery . Until this video, I have only been able to trace the origins of the Meiser (later Mizer) line of my family to the Alsace region of France. The first of this line came to America as indentured servants (more or less) to southern New York state for reimbursement of their passage. The future generations moved (by canoe) into Pennsylvania and ultimately, with land grants for service in the War of 1812, into rural Ohio where I was raised (during which time they had become Methodists). My grandmother grew up speaking Pennsylvania Dutch as a child which we knew to be a dialect of German, but that's about all we knew. I later surmised that they must have, originally, been Mennonite or Amish, but never connected the dots with any research until recently. Thank you for sharing your discoveries and for the work that you are doing to assist the disenfranchised Amish. Your story of Sam and Polly was very enlightening (and heartwarming) without painting the Amish, in general, of being corrupt.
I love this series. Thank you!
Wow I learned more about church history today, usually the detail never includes the in betweens like Anabapists, Amish etc. Most details jump from Cathplicism to Luthern, Calvin etc.
Really interesting,an education on many levels I admire your courage.
What a wonderful series. A fantastic learning experience. I was ignorant to a lot of what I've seen in this series. I attended Roman Catholic church as a kid. I didnt understand a lot of it but it's clearer now. Thank you!
Oh my!!!! HOW BEAUTIFUL!!!❤️❤️❤️
Agreed
Congratulations for this fascinating History lesson! Well researched, put together and brilliantly presented!
Thankyou for sharing this series with us all. The amount of effort put into it is appreciated very much. The Amish culture is really quite beautiful.
This has been a wonderful story and so beautifully put together. Thank you. My church also had a lot of persecution when it first began here in America. It's sad that so many people have had to die when all they want is to worship God in the way that they choose to. May God be with you and your family.
This video was so interesting. I have leaned so much for these videos.
Thank you now I know what n how this people conduct their lives from generations of rules in t church.
Very revealing and so respectfully done!
MrGraber, your films are fantastic, I went through the 1st 3 just today. Finished # 3 at 3:44 AM, 9/13/2021. You have a wonderful skill. Enjoyed your MoM and Dad, and ALL of the CAST. Looking forward to # IV. MBJF, COMBAT-VET, VIETNAM, 1968.
