Hello My name was Iscah Israel and I lived in the love family from 1994 to 1996. at that time the family owned 7 house's on Queen Anne Hill, I lived in 4 of them off and on up before dawn and bed after dark was a daily rutine for a baker. Once the family learned I was a great cook, I cooked up to 20 hours a day. In the summer I was sent to the orchards in eastern washington to cook over a wood burning stove all day for the pickers... want to know more e-mail me kindredspiritstherapy@yahoo.com
Pretty casually sourced
editGiven that the Love Family have been the subject of at least one film documentary, numerous radio programs that are archived by KUOW, and at least one book, this is pretty casually sourced. There is a ton that could be added just from readily available source, more if someone wants to go to a library and hit the newspapers (they were very high profile in the 1970s and early-to-mid-'80s in Seattle). - Jmabel | Talk 09:48, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
hello my mom knows you from the family —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.97.126 (talk) 00:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
Agreed, Jmabel. This could actually be a fun project for an editor inclined to go for it. The Garlic Festival alone could be its own article. I think the whole "cult" thing might even take a back seat. Of course, any article I would write would focus too much on how they blew their money on failed cafes and car dealerships. I would really want to write about how their kids were normal preppy college students who got the money to go to college while hippies paid money to drink tea in a meadow. 76.104.233.206 (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
First Person Narrative
editThere is a long section ("History") that is told in the first person and is not attributed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 45750born (talk • contribs) 15:43, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Vegetarianism
editCharles Pierce LeWarne wrote in his book "The Love Israel Family: Urban Commune, Rural Commune": "Family members relished occasional barbeques of venison and other meats. A ram was traditionally slaughtered and served during the annual Passover event." (p.42) 2003:DE:6F34:CD00:DCEB:2F46:1C6A:F2BA (talk) 19:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
- Reviewing request. Since there is not a freely-viewable online version of LeWarne's book, I have ordered it & will check it within a couple of weeks. My guess is that the community may have adhered to practices like a Passover seder in which they ritually ate meat. If this was the case, the statement
group ate a predominantly vegetarian diet
would need to be augmented to include that. Peaceray (talk) 22:34, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
