Hi Scott,
Just tought I'd give you a destination:
http://twelvetribes.org/community/fieldstone-orchard is our farm; and,
http://twelvetribes.org/community/community-lawrence is a community.
Likewise,I don't believe in communism; however, in Acts 2, we believe a key to Our lives is found here:
"42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles.
And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved."
I am thankful for your reply.
I understand your need: "This would NOT be a commune nor a dictatorship but a voluntary association of free property owners (insomuch as we can own property in the world today) all with equal say in all big decisions. That does not mean there will not be leadership but there will be as flat an organization of equals as possible with some temporary areas of leadership/servantship.. "
We want to guide you to a people who practice this type of life. I understand you may want to start up
your own community; however, very soon one realizes: I am nothing without all.
