Waco Compound Being Re-Settled by New Group of Branch Davidians

Story in the Waco Tribune:

“The old ways (of David Koresh) are finished, and the Lord is doing a new thing,” said the elder Feight, a Branch Davidian since 1971. He also identified himself as a U.S. Navy veteran and a former Baptist missionary to the Caribbean.

Robert Feight, born and reared in Waco, said he will head up the building process on-site. His father is part of the teaching team with Pace.

The trio said they aim to bring back the Victor Houteff model of religious community. Houteff founded what became the Branch Davidians following his expulsion from the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1929. He brought his followers to Waco in 1935, and they established their church near Lake Waco, west of town.

The elder Feight said the current Branch believers want to erase the stigma of cult behavior from Waco by disassociating themselves from the guns, drugs, polygamy and “sorcery” of the Koresh band.
