Oh, heck yeah. You know, the first thing is, why did you do this? Because the intervention regarding cults is typically very much like an alcohol or a drug intervention. You don't tell the person there's going to be an intervention. So it's a surprise. And initially they may say, well, how could you do this? You should have told me.

And the answer is, well, if we had told you, would you share that with someone in the group? Would you tell the leader? What would they do? Would they say it's okay for us to have this process, this analysis of the group apart from them? Would they let you participate? Would they insist on coaching you? I mean, what would really happen?

And then if the person is honest, and they most often are, they would say, well, yeah, probably they wouldn't like that. And so I guess I understand why you did this the way you did. But I'm kind of shocked. But then the family will say, well, look, we love you. We really, really care about what's happening in your life. We care about you. We love you.

And we wouldn't do this if we didn't feel there was a reason. So would you trust us? You've known us all your life. You know we love you. So all we're asking you to do is give us some time. We're not telling you that you have to leave the group ultimately. What we're asking you is will you give us three days maybe to think about things, to talk about things.

Yeah, that's the 12 tribes. That's a cult group. What is that? That owns a chain of delis. It was originally a group started by a guy by the name of Gene Spriggs in Chattanooga, Tennessee. And they believe that they are the chosen new Israel and their leader is the prophet. They called him the prophet Yonek. Well, yes. Gene Spriggs died rich. I mean, he had a yacht. He had multiple homes.
