Amish: A Secret Life Page #5

and stuff like that, ice-cream.

We will have all

the fresh milk to drink.

This is the phone shanty.

The traditional Amish kind

don't have phones in their houses.

So they have a phone in a shanty

outside somewhere.

We're quite a long way away

from the house now? Yeah.

Most people don't have it

this far away.

Er...

People are starting to have it

closer, like in the garage

and that's quite acceptable

in our area.

Are you going to leave it here

or are you going to move it?

We'll probably get it closer

to the house, yeah.

It's just the way of the Elders'

decision to keep life more simple.

Personally, I see it

as a waste of time.

The idea had been to make a film

about Amish family life and faith.

David and Miriam

embraced the risks of taking part

because of their beliefs.

The threat of being forced out of

the Amish Church has not gone away.

The family see themselves

as Amish Christians.

They have put their new beliefs

before the Amish rules.

There is no way of life

that will bring peace and joy

to a person's heart.

Some people think if they would

only live a unique lifestyle

like the Amish,

that will help them to be happy.

Some people think if they would have

a bigger house, they would be happy.

But my message is,

all those things are good

but if that's what your happiness

is based on, it's not going to last.

If you accept Jesus,

that will be the true happiness.

The reason we took part in the film

is because

one of the last Commandments

that Jesus gave to his disciples

before he left

was, "go ye and tell the world.

"Go ye to the outermost parts

of the world,

"teaching and preaching

and baptising in the name of Jesus."

There might be consequences,

but we pray that we ask Jesus

that we would not offend people.

God bless you in Jesus's name.

God bless you. Bye!
