Most of what you said about Vissarion's group applies equally well to them. You say groups like this "ostensibly cause no harm," but don't forget about the children who are brought up in communities like these, are indoctrinated from birth and receive no education that will do them any good outside the community. Also, it wouldn't surprise me if Vissarion's group isn't fond of frequent corporal punishmentfor children, as is the Twelve Tribes.Aloysius Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071402519803020741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307187040250193857.post-87570793369504765162014-04-08T08:09:58.673-07:002014-04-08T08:09:58.673-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Aloysius Hornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06071402519803020741noreply@blogger.com
