Yes, you can very well do something for the children!

“Constant dripping wears away the stone!”

Anyone can help and any help counts, even the most insignificant help.

If you enjoy writing, you can write letters to one or all of the following departments. Sometimes one can already make his opinion clear in three sentences. If you don’t dare then please don’t think, “I cannot change anything anyway!” Please don’t be silent; talk to your neighbors or friends about it and give them this paper!

So if you want to write your opinion in favor of our children, you can find below the addresses of the newspapers and responsible people on federal level (only examples). All our appeals on federal state level seemingly fell on deaf ears.

You can write something in favor of individual families you personally know and/or in favor of the whole community.

We would be happy if you could send a copy of your letter to this address:
mail_us@twelvetribes.de and if you agree (please let us know clearly) we will publish it on our websites, because many times letters to the editor that were written in our favor have simply not been published. Please let us know if you want us to publish your initials only.

Once again we would like to thank you all for your support!

Open House for our Neighbors

In Sus, France

After the mid-June raid, our friends and faithful customers come every day to the farm stand to express their loyal support. Happy to find us smiling and peaceful still, we came to realize that their respect towards us increased. Many exhort us “Don’t ever give up!”

Last First Day (Sunday) we had organized an “Open House” event for our neighbors. Many of them came with their children to enjoy this special day. Our Father had set a reasonably cool temperature, the sun shining from behind the clouds, so we could eat outside and carry on with the different activities offered to our guests. We felt blessed.

Ruben lunchA scorching heat like the day before or after would have been unbearable for everybody. It was like a foretaste of the eternal springtime! We welcomed people for a tour of our property, to follow the children’s treasure hunt, taste crepes and rustic “Chef Salade,” ending up with plenty of ice cream from our new machine, play volley ball, witness the Parable of the Sower skit outside, the children’s orchestra… and have a good time of fellowship altogether.

Ruben children 2We could answer with confidence the questions of those interested to know more about us, being thankful that we belong to the greatest King of the earth and the universe. More than fifty people came, many of them having known us for quite some years. It was nice to welcome our friend the lawyer, who has helped us for many years.

Sus3In an interview for a local newspaper just after the raid, he said that we were “indeboulonnable” (unmovable) and that even if our job sites would be destroyed, there will always be other ones resurrected somewhere else… sounds like he was speaking of the Stone Kingdom!

 

 

Why such phone calls?

Please stop telling your children…

Hagen PoliceTranslation

Please stop telling your children that we’ll come and get them if they are not well-behaved. Your children should come to us when they are scared… and should not be afraid of us. Thanks!

Why this Facebook post by the Police of Hagen, Germany?

Well, a policeman heard a mother in a supermarket threaten her child that the police would come take him away. Kept reaching for chocolate bars, it seems…

IS THAT ALL? IS THAT THE ONLY REASON?

Was it another annoying child in April, when the good police of Hagen made a similar post, reports N-tv:

“In April, there had been a similar entry. At that time the police in Hagen had advertised their Open House in June and especially parents with children were invited. The children were then assured that the police would never to get “bad children”.

“We certainly do not. We are your friend and helper. The police are always there for you. You don’t need to be afraid of us, but quite the opposite.“

COULD THE REAL REASON FOR THESE

TWO POSTS BE THAT PARENTS ARE

INCREASINGLY DOING JUST THAT, CALLING

THE POLICE ON THEIR CHILDREN?

Why would parents call the police? 

It’s just a simple matter to correct the child, right? But what if the child does not receive the parent’s correction, as the child wanting his chocolate did not listen to his mother? What is she to do then? This scenario plays out everyday across the industrialized world and will only become more and more common in the future. 

Could the reason German parents are calling the police be found in the German Civil Code of Law, specifically Section 1631?

Civil Code

Book 4 — Family Law (§§ 1297 – 1921 )
Section 2 — Relationship (§§ 1589 – 1772 )
Title 5 — Parental responsibility (§§ 1626 – 1698b)    

§ 1631


CONTENT AND LIMITS OF THE PRIMARY CARER

(1) The persons concerned in particular have the obligation and the right to maintain the child, to educate, to supervise, and to determine his residence.

(2) Children have a right to non-violent upbringing. Physical punishment, psychological injuries, and other humiliating measures are prohibited.

(3) The family court has to support parents at the request in the exercise of custody, in appropriate cases. [Original German at dejure.org.]

Do parents in Germany, especially mothers, sense that they have no authority — not even in their own families? Is not that why they are calling the police? Doesn’t there have to be some authority? 

But they know – as our example and many others have shown them – that if they discipline their children to teach them right from wrong, to have self-control, and to respect themselves and others that they become lawbreakers. They face the very real threat of having their children taken from them.

If not parents, whose word will stand in the child’s life? No one’s? Or that of the policeman and policewoman?

And then what?

Did you not know that mothers who just ask for help often end up losing their children?

For example, a mother who requires the help of a housekeeper or nanny twice a week, is often considered overloaded. In order to justify her request for help she says that she is overloaded. One of the most frequent justifications of the Jugendamt to remove a child from the family is the fact that the mother is overloaded. Thus, she loses her child. — Jacy Raduan-Berger

Yes, to their sorrow, many German parents have found that to be under stress and needing help can end up with the Jugendamt taking their children from them. Read the page, “The Jugendamt,” for more details and the grim statistics.1

Whatever will keep parents who call the police for their unruly children from losing them to the Jugendamt? Restraint on the part of the Jugendamt, perhaps? Seizing disobedient children would create a chaotic cycle of mistrust of all authority that would be detrimental to society as a whole…not to mention to maintaining law and order. Is that not why the police of Germany are concerned about this new “parenting” trend?

And where to now?

So, everyone must just live with disobedient, disrespectful children screaming their desires out to the world continually, it seems. That’s the future.

“Thankfully” there are drugs to pacify children once they get to school, and one can give them a little screen to capture their attention. Parents are doing it from the nursery on in America, and probably everywhere modern western ideas and technology have penetrated.

The ability to live self-centered, independent lives, even from one’s own family members, is ever growing. Parents will really be little needed in the society of the future, just as radical theorists like Simone de Beauvoir have hoped. From an earlier post entitled, “When women did not have that choice,” comes the following quote of a conversation between the American, Betty Friedan, and the French woman, Simone de Beauvoir:

Freedom of choice? Not in de Beauvoir’s ideal world:

In response to Friedan’s thoughts that wives and mothers should be reimbursed for their housework if they choose to stay at home and take care of her children, de Beauvoir responded as follows. Read her words carefully, they live on in full force in the minds of ideologues the world over, especially in the United Nations, the European Union, and Germany.

ChangedLife_p397

No, we don’t believe that any women should have this choice.

“No women should be authorized to stay at home to raise her children.

“Society should be totally different.

“Women should not have that choice, precisely because if there is such a choice, too many women will make that one.

“It is a way of forcing women in a certain direction.

 A global reform of society

So the vision is revealed: a worldwide society without choice, without freedom, with only the path available prescribed by one’s betters. de Beauvoir reveals the true goal of communists, a world where there is no iron curtain an outraged citizenry can tear down. But one day there was an iron curtain, and before it was torn down, as these ideologues know, women had no choice there, either. There was only one image of humanity to conform to. . . shaped by thinkers like them.

A picture is worth a thousand words?

What separated our children from their parents?

Was it love or hate?

A picture is worth a thousand words, the old saying goes. How much is this picture worth?

Levis familyYou may not recognize everyone in it. The smiling woman to the left we know as Hadashah, and the man to the right as Levi. They are the parents of the Hennigfeld family. Between them are their precious children. The girl to the left with the beautiful long hair, is their daughter in state custody, and the older boy, with his hair parted in the middle, is their son, also in state custody. Their names are Shalomah and Shamah.

In between them is their little sister, born very recently. Her name is Sekel Anah. She is not in state custody, and the parents had to overcome great fear to bring her into Germany to see her big brother and big sister. You would think, wouldn’t you, that this is just a happy family portrait? Perhaps of a family visiting a farm, just spending the day together…very much in love and secure with one another. You would not think anything else.

You would not dream that this precious family was brutally ripped 
apart by the state power of German based ON NOT ONE THING AGAINST 
THE PARENTS, ON NOT ONE SHRED OF EVIDENCE OF HARM DONE TO THE 
CHILDREN.

How this visit affected their children, and others.

In their own words: “Our children received such a boost of encouragement, and not just our children loved the goats and the time they could be together, but also Mr. S. from the youth department was deeply touched. Seeing our children together with their little sister Sekel, and the two week-old baby goats softened something in this man. He started telling us that he grew up on a farm and likes animals a lot.”

Read the post, “Hennigfeld Family Before the Court” to understand the issues involved. That post closes with these thoughtful words:

“The Jugendamt lets all exculpatory information about us go unnoticed. Most of the so-called sect commissioners are members of the large state churches and are therefore biased against our community of faith. Together with the media (RTL & Co) working together with dropouts give again distorted and one-sided views of our life in the community that can not be transferred to our family.

“Perhaps the law requires for this reason:

The enjoyment of civil and political rights, eligibility for public office, and rights acquired in the public service are independent of religious denomination. No one from his membership or non-membership of a confession or a conviction shall suffer prejudice to his person. (Art. 33, paragraph 3 of the Basic Law)

“No one has the right to judge the religion or belief of another. This is enshrined in law. The reason is that nobody can be a competent witness to the religion of his neighbors. This is perfectly logical, but in our case, this law is not applied. In reality, it is our belonging to the Twelve Tribes that is the only reason we have been robbed of our children.”

 

In contrast to a few blows with the rod…

A reader comment on the radical injustice done to our children by the state and social services of Bavaria.1

In contrast to a few blows with a rod, this is a continuous torture—one that causes lifelong damage to the children!

Her Comment:2

It is incomprehensible, that so many authorities keep silent in this matter, and say nothing about the injustice, that happened to the children and parents of the Twelve Tribes here. Maybe they even think, that injustice will become justice if they uphold it long enough? This can not even be justified with the reason: it takes time to do all the investigations. They truly did enough of that!

Although they did not find any sound reasons to take the children, they still have the attitude: It can’t be that we made a mistake. But WE did make a mistake!

How long will people just watch—just be onlookers? How much time will be whiled away, while the damage in the souls of the children gets bigger and deeper?

Who of the responsible ones has not long ago realized that the measures are and were completely exaggerated?

Will there finally be somebody that is ashamed? Someone who wants to put an end to this suffering, to be able to look at themselves in the mirror again?

Does no one of the responsible ones have children themselves and can imagine, what these wrong decisions actually mean?

Who is supposed to be protected by upholding this unjust situation? Surely not the children!

What kind of “intertwined groupings” work so hard here? Political alliances? All of them are horrible…

I beg the responsible ones, the decision-makers, to have the courage and to finally say: Stop! This was a mistake…

Anyways, the suffering of these children and the pain of the parents should accompany and affect these people in their holidays, in their dreams, just at all times, when they are happy with their own family… because you feel so good and so righteous… when you fulfill the norms of the crowd—isn’t that the case?

Also, those who think differently and act differently than you are loving parents!

All you silent powerful ones: do something finally! Don’t you also have a conscience, don’t you feel: what is right and what is wrong? In contrast to a few blows with a rod, this is a continuous torture—one that causes lifelong damage to the children!

Is there not ONE that has the guts to oppose this injustice that has happened? I just beg you: just do it. The suffering has gone on way too long already..
