Twelve Tribes of Israel is a cult. It broke my heart to discover this. I don't know if they know they are a cult. I don't know if the founders realize it. Oh my. I came within inches of joining them, after months of exploration, prayer. It was only at the last seconds that enough experience had accumulated within me that I could see that they are not about worshiping the Divine, the Almighty, the Father within us, but rather they are about surrendering to the Power Structure they have formed within including their first and second generation of children, some of whom I have witnessed displaying what I can only
describe as
Naziesque behavior:
- smiling viciousness visited on a visitor in their presence - a middle aged woman who obviously was damaged by abuse in her life.
- repeatedly dismissing a wife as one might have expected a black slave to be dismissed by a black hearted master.
- rank arrogance displayed by the power structure / hierarchy;
- a hierarchy of approval by their "leader," NOT a hierarchy of Love / Otherishness / Brotherliness....
They do so much correctly - location, simplicity, health.... But as almost all attempts it has been mortally corrupted by the desire of men to control other men, and of course, women.
