My Father’s Story / Growing Up Amish

Joas interviews his father Ora Miller, about growing up in an Amish community in northern Indiana, moving west to Rexford Montana in 1975 and eventually to Libby Montana.
From losing a sister at a young age, burying two children in Indiana, Dad recounts the trials and blessings he has experienced in his 87 years of life and 65 years of marriage!

    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.

    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.
