Rejoining Society After 14 Years in TWELVE TRIBES (Yellow Deli) Cult

Rejoining Society After 14 Years in TWELVE TRIBES (Yellow Deli) Cult

After joining what Tamara Mathieu thought would be a wholesome, down to earth, communal family group in August of 2000, things quickly went downhill— she immediately regretted her decision. At 23 years old, Tamara, her husband and their 17-month-old son gave up EVERYTHING to join the Twelve Tribes worldwide religious organization. In return they received a militaristic, impossible-to-please hierarchy, where she worked constantly and had to employ harsh discipline on her children.

Fourteen years went by and enough was enough. Find out how her family finally escaped the Twelve Tribes and learned how to once again be “of the world” with no jobs, money or housing.

However, that came with the high cost of extreme shunning from his former friends and immed... Learn more about your ad choices.
