The public area is done with excellence, however it appears that most of residents live in mobile homes, I would have been more favorably impressed if the residents lived in houses that were of the same quality as their public village. The website does not give that much info about the fact that they are a church, the do a great marketing job of their village. They built the Bush's home on their Crawford ranch, wonderful craftsmanship. The leadership has UPC roots and it is obvious that it would require some very strong rules to hold a group like this together. On the surface it is a very placid place to live in the middle of a strung out world, but according to some ex-residents the leadership is extremely controlling. It is similar to a Mennonite village, however they capitalize on marketing the village and they do that extremely well.

Yes, the Pentecostal views on clothes & hair (for women) were carried forward from the Holiness Movement. The interpretations to the Scripture passages relative to teaching "standards" were not formulated by ministers baptized in Jesus' name and filled with the Spirit. Modern day Oneness and Apostolics look exactly like women from the Weslyan Holiness and other "holiness" churches. I"ve seen them down town before and mistook them for UPC ladies. Women looked like this BEFORE they got the Holy Ghost! I believe the "outward holiness" view is one of old-fashionedness, similar to the Amish, and it's a CULT look.

People need to research.
