Re: Whoa! Polygamist solution is frightening...

In many so called "christian communities" the leaders live like kings...I have read a lot of things about a community called twelve tribes because I once visited them and stayed a few days with them in far south Brazil...
I saw things that ...well...did not seem just right...but I was there only as a visitor...

I am familiar with them - they are in Missouri too. White robes - right?

LOL

She'll also discover that the more you make...the less real work it seems you do. But don't get too comfortable. While you may only make 4 decisions a day...those decisions are often biggies.
