Church of Wells

I'm the original poster (above). After reading through a fair amount here, it occurs to me that identifying what exactly it is, what brand it is, isn't really all the critical, is it? Being under the control and authority of a spiritual leader seems to sort of look the same, regardless of the name of it.

I'm fairly sure this group had its roots as a local church offshoot of some Texas group and morphed into something else. Either way, I think families would find some value in reading here and maybe some insight on how to deal with it. I'll be pointing them this direction. There's a lot of really confused hurting families, and some genuine concern for safety. Particularly women and children.

That's the one thing missing from all the assorted how-to-know-a-controlling spiritual group materials - how to manage it. What to do. What not to do. Nobody really knows.
