A fact from Love Family appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 24 June 2005. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that Love Israel, a cult in northern Washington, filed for bankruptcy and then sold their commune to the Union for Reform Judaism to become their 13th summer camp?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2005/June.

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

Given 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)[reply]

hello my mom knows you from the family —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.121.97.126 (talk) 00:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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. 76.104.233.206 (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

First Person Narrative

There 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)[reply]
