- Reach out to me if you want to talk, or come on the podcast xamishboyz@gmail.com
We simply have conversations, this podcast is exists for Ex-Amish to tell their story.
And I enjoy talking anyway.
Thanks for being raw and real with your journey. It is going to impact more people then you'll ever know.
I am really blessed by this testimony. In my area I am surrounded by Christians who have now found Christ after incredibly difficult situations growing up in these cultures. Thanks for this channel. The kingdom is moving and shaking even though it feels at times like we have so little resources.
Thank you so much for this channel and this conversation!
This is very good.
A deliverance prayer is so freeing!!
I am a little less open minded towards all of that experience, as I tend to question things and not just accept things, but there is benefits to many ways of doing life.
Jesus is amazing beyond words!!
I grew up with the correct introduction to Jesus and the Word, the church changed, and there has been an experience of a spirit of religion that began with that change.
I started noticing feeling imprisoned, and the first thing I started thinking about is the verses about FREEDOM!!!
A spirit of religion imprisons a spirit of freedom in Christ!
A spirit of letting go goes against that we are supposed to hold fast, yet hanging on too tightly can extinguish an important spiritual flame.
I agree. Keep focusing on christ!!
Focusing on self,or focusing on the dynamics of religion,can cause alot of stress and take alot of time away from keeping focusing on joy.
There is so many things to become distracted by, and when we keep our focus on Jesus, He sets us free and keeps us free indeed!!
When there is too much religion,it makes us get caught up again in the bondage of that in itself.
I think the best way to keep our focus on Jesus,is to read and meditate on what he says every day!!
It is strengthening when Jesus is really being lived out!!
Sometimes we grow WEARY when religion is being lived out,more than a refreshing spirit that Jesus is the answer!!
Whoo hoo!!
Let's keep living out those answers!!
He is the answer,and He is the way!!
Keep living it out,friends!
There is a special beauty in freedom and broken chains.
Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Praying for you. I assurre you things are as bad or worse in "the world" shame is such heavy baggage. I'm glad you responded to grace and the finished work done at the cross with the power of tge Resurected Savior. Much love
Powerful , love the comment about death not being our savior
So glad that you started this podcast Bontrager...sorry but I don't know your first name. I'm sure this podcast will grow & help many to heal more in the telling of their stories & also encourage others to leave the Amish & tell their stories as well!
Well, thank you so much. And My name is Nelson, I truly appreciate that!
Wonderful transparency in this testimony of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.
Yes, it was , Jonas opened up and said everything, and this is a testimony of the Lord's wondrous works !
Powerful!!

You're doing the right thing to not looking into much evil spirits things; though the bible tells us we are not ignorant of Satan's devices 2corithians 2:11; we are told in Romans 16:19 to be wise unto that which is good and simple concerning evil.
Believe we're created in God's image in a sense that God is three in one(Father,Son and the Holy Ghost), so he created us three in one also( spirit, soul and body)
Otherwise thanks for sharing the testimony, I love them they help me appreciate God's amazing grace towards sinners of every strip. He not only saves us from hell and gives eternal life freely; He goes on to help us taking us out of the messes we put ourselves into on a daily basis
What love!! What a merciful God
God can take addiction cravings away.
💯 Yes, he can !
Reading the Old Testament is helpful. It is our school teacher and leads us in the proper direction: it informs us of what God wants in our life.
"8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;
11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust." (I Timothy 1, KJV)
I love this!
Female virgins are wonderful women who can offer chastity to a man, a requirement for marriage. However, some female virgins are more wise than others. A virgin female can still end up in an unwanted situation by aiding her want-to-be-husband male to promote fornication (I Cor. 7:2) through former negligent conduct and leaving a pre-maritally bonded girl (Ex. 22, Dt. 22) if she does not qualify his background. The parent or guardian of the female is responsible to have a trust relationship with his daughter so as to be able to give her to a man in faith, knowing she is chaste.
However, the parent of the virgin is not as likely to have this trust relationship with the male she is to be given to. There are men who may not be legally married but have in their life time had sex with a female virgin. In these cases, the male would still be obligated to the first female virgin, especially if he had two or more female virgin experiences, whom he joined in coitus. Then, the delusional, male presumed groom-to-be really should be trying to resolve his responsibility with his first virgin and her chastity (to re-unite and legally marry as long as the female had not become defiled by another man), and realize he must remain single if he doesn't in order to prevent another marital obligation to another woman while his former maritally-bonded woman is alive.
We live in the apostasy and have lost the great protection of dowry and community living (homogeneous conditions), which guarded marriage (monogamy) and other Biblical institutions.
So if a virgin female thinks everything is alright concerning marriage merely due to her own sexual purity, she better beware because she also has a responsibility not to become intrusive to a once-virgin seeking chastity and marital completion/restoration with the presumptuously presumed groom-to-be of the present virgin.
Concerning spirits--He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.--There are evil spirits. Trust God and the Holy Spirit works on your behalf. Being powerful is believing in God's power.
That is truth !
The devil has nothing compared to our God !
