They are in love, with two beautiful kids, but they are at a loose end. One day at a local fair, they come across a Christian sect called the 12 Tribes. The group, who live in seclusion, offer a utopia of love, peace and communal living, beholden only to the word of Yashua. But before long, Mark and Rose find themselves in a world of bizarre rituals and extreme beliefs, under the influence of a charismatic leader. They are made virtual slaves, the family shuffled around the world to prevent them escaping. So who are the 12 Tribes, and how has their leader managed to build a global following, unchecked for 50 years? Hosted by Tim Elliott. Have a tip of information about 12 Tribes? We’re listening!

Interesting but also haunting

Great podcast and very interesting but also somewhat depressing and frankly quite haunting. The abuse in all ways of these people and especially the CHILDREN 😭 truly awful
Very disturbing

I’m really enjoying the podcast and learning about it, but I can’t understand with all this evidence why police, docs etc haven’t gone in and helped the kids, it’s really devastating 😪
I was hooked

Absolutely loving this podcast- the pacing is great and the way it’s set out is easy to follow. Really sad what happened to the families in The Tribe, great production I’m really enjoying the listen. Thank you
Deep dive into hell

An invaluable insight into how wonderful humans ended up trapped in a cult that stole their future. Our vulnerabilities are what makes us easy targets for such organisations. The financial side is mind blowing while the members who left were penniless. I recall Children of God when I was in my teens and I found it terrifying. A friend of a friend also had a portrait of Bhagwan dangling on a chain around her neck when I met her in London. These were the Orange people. Until Bhagwan told them to wear purple … The worst thing is society at large being complicit but there are so many reasons why this is the case. We often don’t know what is happening one kilometre away. :( Just up the road from us is a Yellow Deli. The servers won’t meet your gaze. Now I know why. It has been beaten out of them. :( A thorough and even handed investigation. Thank you !!
Raid the joint!

Abuse, slavery and trickery!!!
Horrible people
14/03/2023
I couldn’t finish this podcast, although it was well done, I found I just couldn’t listen any more about these horrible people who beat their children to almost death. All because they didn’t want to burn in hell. Well I hope they all do burn in hell for being such idiots.
Fascinating!

It keeps playing episodes of The Nurse?

Very confusing how this podcast plays random episodes of a different series between episodes..
