OK. So I guess they are all 12 of them. Interesting. Seems a little confusing because 3 of the original 12 tribes of Israel still exist. So I guess they are using the names metaphorically, or allegorically, or something like that. Anyhow, they seem rather large and well established. Still somewhat young, going on 40 years now. Are they a cult? Well, yeah, I suppose. What organization isn't? Not my cup of tea, but I like alot of their ideas. Just not sure why they took the names of tribes already spoken for. That would be somewhat like starting your own United States of America, in China, or perhaps your own nation of Albanians, or something like that. Anyhow, I didn't read all their stuff so I can't really judge them. There are alot of religions, and cultures, out there. This one is rather young, that's all. I like older cultures and religions myself. I guess in that sense I am conservative.

Anyhow, I wish them all well, I guess.
It's the children you have to think about, but who has all the answers?
You just have to h
You just have to hope they are not too much more whacked out than the rest of us. Lot to be said for home schooling. Much I don't like about our schools, and society at large. I'm pretty whacked out myself though. Kid's are pretty resilient though. They just need some room to breath.
JAK,
They are to the extremely WHACKED!!! I agree with you, our in general our public school is nothing I would be proud of, but that in a large part due to their parents not wanting to help educate their kids at home.
On the flip side, unlike the 12-tribes, I don't know of any school that has been fine for volitions of child labor laws.

I agree with you that they are whacked, but most North Americans are whack jobs in one form or another. Just sayin'. In fact, not be
It's the price of freedom.
I was going to say not being whacked in some form or other would be un-American.
Yeah. 'cause we're so normal eh.

Tom Sawyer. Beauty eh.

A modern day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.
Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river
What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you
No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is
And what you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit
The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide
Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day
Science will fly you to the moon, religion will fly you into a building.

Happy belated two four, ya hosers. We should all start a new cult, the two four tribes cult. That's like way better than twelve tribes eh, like roughly twice as better, give or take a few beers maybe. I'll take them. Take off.
Oops. Forgot the accompanying music. OK. So take off eh.

I'll go out on a limb and speculate that he has something against religion .
"They" also say that "More wars have been started in the name of religion than.....".
I don't think that the last two WORLD wars had much to do about religion - more to do with selfish megalomaniacal power seekers.
But anyway, I hear that a lot from folks who have never been religious.
I could say what it is like to be an agnostic. I used to be one. It's a lonely, scary place.

it seems like they were reaching with the light bulb thing...The Labor Department later fined the group two thousand dollars for a fifteen-year-old pushing a wheelbarrow and another fifteen-year-old changing a lightbulb.
