A controversial church group in that area.

Keep in mind that Twelve Tribes is a Yahweh-Yahshua group with no Jesus. They used to claim a connection between Zeus and Jesus in their publications but I showed them the error on that and they agreed that it would not be placed in future printings. I ate at one of their restaurants recently and asked if the Zeus thing was an internal teaching, overall I have visited a few of their communities and events.

This is especially important for those of us who know that Yahweh is actually the devil Jupiter. (I did not discuss that with them, at the time of our correspondence my conviction on that connection was not clear and solidified, I kept my focus on the Zeus claim, it went on for awhile, but they actually agreed that the Zeus-Jesus claim could not be supported.)

I thought maybe 1970's teen star Bobby Sherman had a cult.

Re: searching out an Amish-style apostolic fellows

The church is officially called: Church at Carson City. (Carson City, MI- about 45 miles Northwest of Lansing/Dewitt) The locals call them Shermanites based on the founder Lee Sherman (deceased). He founded it more than 40 years ago. Some of their rules: No tv, no pictures, women can't cut their hair, women wear skirts/dresses, and women "Our women need to be shame-faced and humble." quote from Cheryl Ackley former member and in the article below. Some of the rules seem Amish and/ or old order Mennonite but there isn't any affiliation. And of course the church now has their own school (founded about 20 years ago). Church and school website: http://churchatcarsoncity.org/ And of course it wouldn't be a cult without shunning those that leave!
