STOP CHILD ABUSE AND CHILD LABOR THE UNITED STATES JUDICIAL SYSTEM NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE TWELVE TRIBES CULT !!!!!

  • by: WILLIAM (Billy) L. Lovell Sr.
  • recipient: The United Staes Government,Federal Internal Revenue Service of The United States,Child Services and The Department of Labor Investigate The Twelve Tribes Communities!!!

The TT ,The Twelve Tribes,Eugene Spriggs(Yoneq) Eddie Wiseman,and list of Businesses listed here keep facing charges of Child abuse and Child Labor to read a full history go here http://question12tribes.com/ and here http://www.twelvetribes-ex.com/?p=5960..The children in Communities in France and in Germany have been taken away from this Group by these Countries Government.The TT ,The Twelve Tribes,Eugene Spriggs(Yoneq) Eddie Wiseman,Leaders of The Twelve Tribes Communities live a life of Luxury off of Slave Labor and Child Labor supporting Child Abuse in their belief. Time and Time again this Group avoids Prosecution by relocating members wanted by Authorities , and child abductions refusing to obey court orders. If they have nothing to hide then why all the Secrets and Misinformation? I am a ex member and know many of these answers but I want to get this out in the Open and let the Public be aware! Part of their practice is to take in Young members and brain wash them into ever speaking to their families again? We ask the Internal Revenue Service of The United States to Investigate The Twelve Tribes Tax Claims and Income! We ask previous investigations of Child Abuse in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom and Island Pond in the Raid that happened there in 2000. We ask in this Petition to go to the Sites that are on this Petition and educate yourself what is going on in your back yard in America and a Cult that is raking in Millions of Dollars in Revenue off of the abuse and mind control of others! Here is a full list of businesses we ask you the Federal Government to Investigate and You the Public to stop doing Business with in The U.S.!!!! The TT leaders adamantly deny that Gene Spriggs lives a “jet-setting” life or any differently than the average member in good standing. However, Michael Painter and James Howell, former high level leaders (3rd and 4th in command under Spriggs and Eddie Wiseman) stated in a video that Spriggs enjoys a wallet full of credit cards and travels where and when he desires and also enjoys luxuries the average member does not have access to. As the only apostle for the Twelve Tribes, his role and duty is to plant new communities wherever he feels God leads him. Subsequently Spriggs often travels around the world establishing new communities. Gene always nurtured an inclination towards world travel. The TT published Elbert Spriggs’ biography in which they state he gave up an executive job to become a tour director for a large travel company so that he could see the world.
The Twelve Tribes never experience difficulty when purchasing buildings, businesses and property to expand their kingdom on earth. In the past they have claimed that although a number of people enter the TT willing to give up wealth and possessions just as many enter poverty stricken or even bring a load of debt. In a majority of the cases where the new recruit owes worldly debts, the community refuses to pay the new recruit’s bills which subsequently ruin their credit rating for many years! (See the entry Common Ground Common Thieves – Cheryl’s story). So how can they enter a town and drop millions of dollars to buy one or more multiple buildings? How did they afford to host a large cultural event on the National Mall in Washington DC June 26-July 6th 2004? How can they afford to produce high quality films denouncing Christianity?
The Twelve Tribes can accomplish this because they own over 24 substantial businesses around the world. Many of these are high end construction companies that list no affiliation to the Twelve Tribes on their web sites or advertisements. Below, is a consolidated list of direct links to these Twelve Tribes businesses. The community hosts these sites which a person could stumble across, but there is no one single list as provided below. I believe the Twelve Tribes do not want the public or their own members to comprehend the vast amount of wealth these businesses generate.
The TT often tells non-members that many of their restaurants operate at a loss. Most of these restaurants are not even listed below. Many ex-members often confirm these restaurants run at a loss but are necessary to recruit new members. However, the lucrative construction companies as well as the furniture and other products that are made with “free” labor far offset the losses at these restaurants. The most recent defectors from the Twelve Tribes (especially those in leadership positions) complain the Twelve Tribes resemble more like a business than a messianic community.
Many people were amazed several years ago that this obscure group actually enjoyed a large contract with Estee Lauder to provide their Origins products. Actually, the group provided these products from 1995 through 2001 until Estee Lauder found they were using child labor to produce, package and distribute their Origins line. Likewise, the Twelve Tribes provided products to Robert Redford’s Sundance Company until he cut off dealings with them for child labor issues.
The following links are for those Twelve Tribes businesses that possess a website. In addition to these businesses, there are a number of “cottage industries” the Twelve Tribes own and operates with free labor from their members and children. I will add to the list as I become aware of more businesses.

It is not known at this time when the café will open to draw in the unwary and unknowledgeable (concerning the Twelve Tribes cult). Don’t let a scrumptious sandwich fool you. They are here to take over your mind as they employ mind control tactics. I should know I am a former member!
