Twelve Tribes Café in Australia
The Twelve Tribes, an anti-Semitic cult whose U.S. parent has a court history of child abuse and abduction, is selling food and refreshments at this year's Woodford Folk Festival. The cult, which advocates strict discipline, female submission, black slavery, and lying in the name of righteousness, cites Bible texts to justify beating small children with canes. A
festival spokesman said that the Twelve Tribes had operated the stall for several years, that their presence was a "non-issue," and that the stall was not used to recruit new members. Brisbane cult expert Jan Groenveld said that the group's commercial operations may look benign, but that the public should be wary if approached by cult members with invitations to visit their community.
