Beyond Cult Controversy: The Mate Peddlers of the Twelve Tribes
Someone I love lived there, at last report. I miss her and think about her... worry about her, her family. I'd just like her to know she has somewhere to go. I sent a letter but no response. I just packed an envelope with other envelopes and stamps today, no letter. It will go out tomorrow. It hurts me to read all this crap about "the community." I view extreme criticism of this degree with a healthy measure of skepticism, because the Church-world with all their conflicting sects, eat their own incessantly. (not our author, but some of the comments). Motives should always be questioned. The definition of a "cult" is "the church across town that believes differently than mine does." Anyhow, she deserves a good deal, having already gotten the short straw, most of her life. Still, despite all challenges, she perseveres. I wish I had the power and freedom to have been more useful back then. She's from a pioneering A.A. family up here, and has a severely disabled daughter in a home. If you know her, just give her this name. She'll know. Ya'all be blessed. As someone stated above, please remember not to conflate conformity with righteousness. If there is a Diety in charge, It's not running a costume party. http://www.sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2013/d…— December 22, 2013 7:50 p.m.
