Beyond Cult Controversy: The Mate Peddlers of the Twelve Tribes
From my few encounters with young people who were born and raised in the Twelve Tribes. They have told me first hand that around 80-90 percent of the young people are all leaving worldwide. Especially since 2008 when Spriggs wife's affairs were revealed and nothing was done about it, when many other rank and file people were sent out of the group with no money or education for much lesser offenses. And Mr Spriggs continues to write more laws that are not in found in the scripture. I am told that they are referred to as "the Traditions". I have spoke with a few girls younger than 18 who have worked in the Yellow Deli in Vista who claim that they worked 16-20 hour shifts. I believe this is exploitation since these girls are denied a proper education and they have to marry a boy if they make out with him.— November 24, 2013 2:09 p.m.

From the Daily Mail based on verfified information from both lovers who have now defected.
