A religion that destroys families and ruins lives is not the religion of the Kingdom.
I have lots of their books and writings and know them personally...I want nothing to do with what goes on behind closed doors...Jesus came to set the captives free not make captives and brain wash people and have closed door services...I could tell you a lot about the closed door services at Waco...my advice...stay away...

If someone wants a christian community I really think that is nice as long as it is CHRISTIAN.

Very good ariticle. I found the comments after the article interesting. I knew Blaire and Regina Adams in the early 70's. They were a very charismatic couple. I do believe this is a cult.

Everything I have heard has been second hand. I was still a bit of a kid but I remember folks talking about them moving out to Texas many years back.

I agree with you in every sense of the word...CULT...

and that is not to say all the people there are evil that is far from the truth...however the doctrine taught there is evil and far from truth.

When I knew Blaire and Regina they were evangelizing out of K. Phillips church and were planning to go to New York to start a work. They came to our church and held a long revival- I got to know them there. We also had some mutual friends in Austin. Regina was very outgoing and outspoken. Blaire was more reserved and quiet. I kept up with them through some friends that were pastoring in the Northeast and knew they had strayed from the UPC path.

Sounds like they strayed from more than just the UPC path.

That's a very interesting article. I've been there, and while it seems so nostalgic and simple on the surface, I had a feeling it was very controlling underneath.

This is new to me. I have never seen this before yet I have heard recently of another experiment, similar to this, that is looking to start up in another state.

Are these people from Apostolic backgrounds? Jesus name folks?
