I have created a collection of news reports starting around 1977 and going through 2008 and have provided links to these documents in a separate page (click on link below). I plan to add any new news I discover or you report to this page going forward. Heed the warning label. I have reported both positive and critical news reports. Engage your thinking caps and discern the truth from the sensationalism that often permeates media reports concerning religious organizations/sects/cults. Unlike the Twelve Tribes leaders, I trust you to think for yourselves concerning what is true and what is not.
Please feel free to submit links to any news articles you feel are relevant (positive or critical) and I will add these to the site.

Thank you,

Interesting news article concerning the Sus House (castle) and controversy in France with the Twelve Tribes.

Place a checkmark beside all items that characterize the group in question. If you check many of these items, and particularly if you check most of them, you might consider examining the group more closely.
The above check list comes from Dr. Michael Langone, editor of Cultic Studies Journal, and often characterize manipulative groups. Dr. Langone suggest prospective recruits and family members compare these statements to the group. If one or more of these apply to your group you may have a cause for concern. I say, if all apply as in the case of the Twelve Tribes, you should repent (turn 180 degrees) and run.

Some may find this very strange, but as an ex-member who has been especially caustic toward the communities at times and written very critical words, I plan to return to live at the communities in the near future.
I'd appreciate it if the "89 Reasons For Leaving" that I wrote in approx. 1998 be removed from this site, for it does contain untruths that I wrote in anger.
I wish all the very best
I have not found a more meaningful daily life where people love God and Yahshua, and each other, and welcome others.
Perhaps some of you will now consider me an enemy, I don't know. But I just want what's best for each person.
I know my brothers and sisters in the communities still love me. And I want that kind of love also, and not waste any more years of my life.

I would hope to meet you. I too have lived a life with people who live to love and serve one another. But I have spoken too many words. Ecclesiastes 5:2
Bill and Eric.... All of us who left went through the phases of healing and one is the bitter stage and we all have said things in anger that we regret now... But if the God we love is the forgiving and merciful God we believe Him to be he has already forgiven us... and we can make amends to those whom we can.... :)
