I listened to it. Had to laugh when he was stating that some of the scrolls had the rules of the community.
Apparantly they had a communial meal together every day(or week cant remember).
Only the worthy were allowed to attend.

If you were found guilty of being a fool, you couldn’t attend for 30 days. Guess Congress would all be skinny as a rail if they had that rule.

No women were allowed into the community except occasionally for service purposes.

Celebacy was required.

You had to give all your worldly belongings to the community.

Those are a few more that i can remember.
