		<description><![CDATA[My ex-wife is falling victim to these radicals she&#039;s given up her our youngest daughter to live out of state I&#039;m disabled so I can&#039;t really take care of them. I knew there was something bad about these people I tried to get her to understand but she just won&#039;t listen Even though I am just her ex I&#039;m still concerned about her I guess I need more insight on what type of people they are but I guarantee you this if she comes to any harm by these weirdos they&#039;re going to know exactly what a US military veteran is capable of... It&#039;s too bad I couldn&#039;t talk to these assholes directly. I&#039;m still finding hard to believe that this is happening. I&#039;m very thankful for all the research that has already been done here it really helps me understand a lot better what really goes on out there. That spriggs guy I&#039;ve seen him around somewhere I recognized the picture of him immediately and I got nothing but a bad vibe from him. Anyway thank you for your time you can contact me at this email at any time]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, is there any way to get information about the Island Ponders? A friend of my family, who is schizophrenic, has decided to join the Bellows Falls, VT group in her early 70’s. I’ve lived around the corner from them for 30 years but I don’t know much about them except that they have great prices on veggies in the summer]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What i mean to say about selling one&#039;s soul to Satan is this. Searching people will sometimes ignore and turn a blind eye to false teachings and harmful ways, in order to belong to and join something that they like in many other ways. I did the same thing. I knew when i first visited  Twelve Tribes commune houses in Vermont at the time that something was very wrong, especially when one of the elders clearly explained that they were the only ones on earth who had God&#039;s Holy Spirit, because they were the only ones who were obeying God. Also a little girl who would sit so still at the commune dining table looked so afraid to move or to do anything that could bring a beating. And unlike the conservative Mennonite people i knew, the Tribes, called Messianic Communities then, were very loose concerning remarriage, they ignored Jesus&#039;s very clear teaching on divorce and remarriages, like many churches now do. So people will sell their common sense, and conscience, and Bible understanding, to Satan sometimes, to be a part of the Tribes. Some people are starved for real friends, some need a permanent place to live and a family atmosphere, some are hoping to find a marriage partner, some are looking for some kind of adventure, some are trying to find a better way to live, some are just angry about something, some are looking for forgiveness, and just don&#039;t realize you don&#039;t need to live in any religious group to be forgiven by Jesus and have a clean conscience and a new life. We are not forgiven by God by living communally, or by joining a certain group. Acts 2:38 in the Bible says, &quot;Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.&quot;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sometimes i miss somethings in the Tribes, but it&#039;s not worth denying Jesus and selling your soul to Satan for some smoothies and sandwiches in the cafe&#039;s and a friendly volleyball game outside the commune house. No one needs to live in a commune to be forgiven by our Creator. Jesus died for all of us, not just those living in the Tribes.]]></description>
