From "Hinman to Found Human Church"

Many magnified social problems might be solved before reaching the no-return point. I now have my own marital problems, unnecessarily so prevalent today....
Modern laws are based more and more on greed, encouraging women to the "fatal tendency to live at the expense of others" (Bastiat), instead of earning their own, or accepting the responsibility, duties, and SECURITY of marriage. Women should discourage this fatal tendency for their own welfare....
With my "Human Church of the Will and Laws of God," I hope to help anyone with any type of social problems. God has been good to me, maybe I can give Him back my time and my PROPERTY.
Plans are not definite, except for a future church at or in every SQUARE-mile option of Knowing-neighbor-people. Suggestions and cooperation appreciated.

Make your home with people of like interests of FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOM, as intended by God.
Every man his "brother's keeper,” to help one another to find God, and the good that is in everybody, and to help, respect (love), and protect one another to be able to choose one’s own way of life and salvation, as long as no actual or proven probable injury or nuisance to another, or court order.
A community with three separate society functions—
(1) GOVERNMENT (material things, reality)—FORCE— to protect life, property, choice, and peace.
(2) SERVICE (Church—spiritual, morals)—VOLUNTARY community Service Centers. Help others without money gain (only expenses) mainly beforenoons.
(3) LABOR—Equalize and limit job time for full employment, to work for others for money gain (adequate living), mainly afternoons. Unlimited for self.
Limited housing available, but can build own home, or live in your car. Rent up to one acre. Pay according to income. From nothing, except service willingness to a tithe. No money necessary. Cook own food or share community. Reservation and clearance.
Eventually form a city with no compulsory permits—building, health, fire etc., No license or tax to work or do business. Free land use unless objections by 7/8 close area owners and 7/8 close neighbors. No crime unless PROVEN injurious act plus intent by a full 12 man LOCAL KNOWN jury and a LOCAL KNOWN judge.
