Beyond Cult Controversy: The Mate Peddlers of the Twelve Tribes
Great writeup, but wrong info on Jean Swantko. It was Hakam's wife Mary that died of cancer in 1990. When wondering why God didn't heal her from cancer, someone claimed that she had spoken against the prophet Spriggs who goes by Yoneq. Swantko married Hakam later after becoming his defense attorney in his child abuse case. Swanko is alive and well and taking care of the tribes legal business. There is a very strong and baffling spiritual presence within this group by which many have been deceived into thinking that it's from God, but it is not. There is a great wresting of scripture that takes things out of context causing the followers to believe teachings which are disproven in other areas of the Bible. This is a dangerous sect of deceived people being led by a man that believes that he is the Elijah prophet.— February 1, 2013 4:19 a.m.
