Interesting - appears the sect is still active.
I am currently in an RV Camp north of Waco, TX. One of the main reasons for staying is that I wanted to visit the site of the Branch Dividians' confrontation with the ATF and the FBI in which about 88 people died. There isn't much there now, but I did take some pictures. It is not easy to find. You have to travel north on 84 to the Boys Ranch Road which only turns right. You take it to the end (a T) Old Mexica Road. Turn left and travel to the first road on the right (Doubled E EE Ranch Road). Travel about 2 or 3 miles and it is on the left. Worth seeing.

Yes, it was kind of eerie. I remembered the TV images of what happened there. I must say the people around Waco don't care and actually it is hard to get directions to the compound. I understand the Dividians are attempting to rebuild the compound. Ken
