I infiltrated the scariest cult in the world

I infiltrated the scariest cult in the world, 12 tribes that runs the restaurant The Yellow Deli

Follow me on instagram: @recklessbenschneider

Follow Danny Berk to watch his version: @DannyBerk he went back and forth with the spy cameras to recharge and upload all the footage every night, and just helped me troll them.

Anyways, Twelve Tribes is an extreme religious organization that I'm actually really afraid if I describe them, YouTube will demonetize me because this cult is super evil... I guess you just have to watch the series to find out how terrible these guys are because you will not believe what goes on inside this community.

Anyways, Danny and I lived here full time for 3 weeks, this is probably the biggest project I've ever done, so I'm super excited for you guys to all see!

I love how Ben is doing all this great investigative journalism, yet downplays the hell out of it and makes it so ridiculous

my grandfather was big in this and helped found the yellow deli in Tennessee. i heard a few things here and there about it but he got divorced with my grandmother because she wasn't willing to give their car to them. he chose the yellow deli over her. he eventually left a little before he died.

i cant believe youre editing this down to being so short, this is a massive undertaking, and id happily watch every moment of how it happened.

They tried to recruit me at their San Diego location. I was a pool man for 3 years and I cleaned the pool on one of their compounds. The kids would come out and watch me like I was a dinosaur lol. They only ever see other cult members wearing homemade clothes. They told me about their fishing trip they were going on and when I said “oh cool! Fishing near Alaska will be awesome guys” they responded “no it’s not fun, we have to do all of the work” they also believe in beating their children mercilessly. Amazing work again dude! These creeps need to be exposed.

Once you finish releasing the series, you should release the unedited footage either on another channel or in a playlist of unlisted videos so it doesn't affect your analytics

My heart dropped when he said the blue light on the glasses thats genuinely terrifying 😂

I go and see jam bands a lot and these guys park their huge “Peacemaker” bus outside loads of popular shows every summer. There have been legit rumors for years about them, they invite fans on to the bus and offer them tea which is (allegedly) spiked. Everyone in the Phish scene knows about these people, they prey on inebriated fans and supposedly have kidnapped people. It’s crazy stuff. At my first show people warned me “don’t get on the big brown bus” like it was common knowledge

I'm a cult survivor. They baited me with something called "Kind" and some dude I never met named "Bud." It was really scary escaping but I politely excused myself, opened the door, closed the door, stopped and thought " I'm high AF and need some chocolate chip mint cookie dough ice cream." That's how they set the hook. Ice cream.

Knew you were doing something big over those 2 months!! So excited to see another one of these!

Let's go 😎 the most underrated creator on the platform is back

[landsurfer]

Me and my Dad were homeless in the winter time desperately looking for shelter in Manitou Springs Colorado. They brought us in and were extremely controlling from the start. We were only there for shelter. They keep a tight grip on you. I worked and alot of these people are familiar that you've recorded. One day at work they dropped a steel beam on my head, lacerated my scalp, and it rained blood down my face. They took the bloody gloves as soon as I was distracted, and had a cult member accompany me in the emergency room. I could not say a thing in there out of fear that we would be returned to the cold and I was being monitored but we left as soon as we could. It was a horrible experience all around and everything you're saying is pretty much spot on.

Explains why you've been gone for so long, hopefully nothing bad happens to you.

Those poor kids 😭

I hate that YouTube intentionally suppresses your content while you produce the most interesting content on the platform

[JulianQuinn]

Holy shit bro you're doing real crazy journalism. So underrated!

[exilemorin]

Okay this is actually so weird and interesting, half way though and I’m hooked to this story already

[lucas_e]

3:05 i love the rant about black people and there is just a black dude chilling on a chair

[remytherat]

how do you not go into this without a cover story for the glasses 😭reckless ben indeed

[caitlyncallahan]

I love your videos and I'm super excited for the series, but I hope this insane amount of cuts will calm down for more serious videos like this

*** PLEASE READ****I grew up in that cult and they absolutely destroyed my family. My little brother who was still there with my parents just committed suicide and it is the cults fault! They need to be exposed and I am HAPPY to help with that!
