Yesterday, I shared some of our research on #ChristianNationalism and the Quiverful. How about a little #TwelveTribes tonight? I am hash-tagging it so you can mute #twelvetribes if you are sick of this. 1/? Also I will be content warning some of it
# Twelvetribes The Twelve Tribes is a transnational religious community whose members cross borders frequently and see the nation-state as a place within which they reside rather than as an institution that informs their primary identity. Their communities throughout the world follow very similar customs and work routines and live apart from the wider society. I'm going to quote from their Child Training Manual so there will be discussion of #childabuse

3/? From the #TwelveTribes Child Training Manual " The governments of such nations as Sparta, Hitler’s Germany, and communist Russia have usurped the parents’ role, but today parental authority is being undermined in the USA through compulsory public education, child advocacy agencies, and child-abuse laws. Parents must not allow the government to usurp their authority in those areas in which God holds the parents alone accountable (25)." #childabuse
