The Brethren (cult)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Brethren is an American religious (christian) group, often regarded as a cult, founded in 1971 by Jimmy T. Roberts (aka. Jim Roberts). They are sometimes referred to as The Garbage Eaters because they have been seen eating food out of dumpsters.
They live as nomads in small groups, moving from city to city.
Ex-Brethren member Jim Guerra wrote a book called From Dean's List to Dumpsters: Why I Left Harvard to Join a Cult.
They should not be confused with The Church of the Brethren or other groups known as Brethren or Plymouth Brethren (commonly so-called).
