The Words of the Doroski Family

Trinity Cultural Lifestyle - The Answer?

After serving as the national leader of Australia for 5 years (1982 to 1987) I was given a choice by Rev. Kwak of any mission. I chose to return to America to help save this country, but more concretely to return to my roots to gain a sense of direction of the future of our movement. For me leadership has always meant the ability to foresee the future and initiate activities that expand results as the future unfolds. Administrators merely carryout directions, leaders sow and grow seeds. In 1986 Austrian "blessed couples" started returning from America and to my dismay instead of living "communal" and taking leadership responsibility, setup nuclear family homes. Since they were coming from America where TF was hands on directing the providence, I felt I needed to return to America and regain a vision of where we were headed; the "communal paradigm" was no longer future. Of course! We could not expect the world's population to move into vast communes. I was swept up into the ACC mission shortly after returning and had not seriously considered the "nuclear family paradigm" until now.

In 1970 we had a total plan for our "Ideal City" in Boonville, California, which consisted of trinity homes grouped in fours, which expanded to 120 and so forth. Each trinity set of homes had undershelter connecting pathways and a common, center community room. TF came in 1972 and instructed we had to sacrifice our utopian communal living and individually become small SMM, move into the fallen cities, get involved with the rotten culture and heal; Obviously this has taken it's toll of members (wounded or dead soldiers).

In 1993 TF answered a question from me in Alaska about the returned foreign missionaries, "Father there are many veteran foreign missionaries returned to America who are very strong, but have no leadership responsibility." He responded, "Hometown providence is the most important mission, this is what they should be doing." I was very surprised and could only conclude that digging in at the grassroots level was critical to the long-term success of the providence. Because of this answer and the additional times he spoke of the importance hometown providence has, in public speeches while looking directly at me, I returned home 5 years ago to face many frustrating challenges.

This discussion of trinity living is thought provoking, seems an answer to problems, but may not be. Problems of finance, raising of children, availability of time for mission, private time allowing selfish pursuits or expressions, etc., might be solved or just delayed. Many questions arise: 1) Is this a pattern that we expect the surrounding families and world to adapt, for we are to teach by our lifestyle? 2) Is this the future way of life or just a temporary practical solution until we reach the maturity and capacity to build thriving nuclear family units? 3) What do we do with the nuclear family buildings that cover the earth? 4) Whose hometown does the trinity restore?

The last 5 years of my life have been very rewarding and very frustrating. The isolation of hometown from UC community life (of course we are to bless our hometown by building such a community life for them); the day to day toil to "just make the bills" each month; the physical labor to "single handed" physically build a house from scratch; the heart pains of raising up blessed children in a fallen, immoral, materialistic culture; the confrontation of personal character & heart defects through the pressure cooker of transitional couple restoration and the pains of my local Cain/Abel tribe members could all be avoid or lessened through communal trinity living.

I really don't want to waste the remaining years of my life building a house on sand but want to pass on to my descendants a foundation they can add to. The toil to succeed at hometown providence is great and I would hate to think we are struggling alone to pioneer "our own" restoration courses, when it isn't necessary, but just because of our ignorance. Could anyone who has extensive knowledge of TF directions of the future (perhaps bits revealed in Korean) share. Is hometown pioneering just a temporary course or the privileged we have earned and final mission whose results we inherit to our children. What of the words from TF, "Return to your hometown and build the Kingdom of Heaven, of course you can't have the Kingdom without TP."
