*Notable Members: Rev. Jeremiah Johnson -- Had his 15 minutes in front of the news cameras seething about the wickedness of The World (They say it like that) and defending the actions of one Francine Borodin<P>Francine Borodin -- Radical Christianist that traveled two hundred miles to shoot Helenanna for not fitting his world view. Then he said it was not premeditation with a straight face.
*History of the Organization: The church was founded in 1959 at this location. It is a Primitive Baptist congregation, not believing in instrumental music, dancing, or anything that might be pleasurable, except sex. The Married (and do it quick and young) should have all the sex and kids they can manage. The church falls into the Dominionist and Quiverfull camps of theology.</P><P>They have also taken up the cause of the End Times Movement believing that Jebus is coming soon, and that what the heathen have labeled Breakout is the Second Coming. With that they think Aliens are of the Devil, and all Magic is likewise. Psionic Abilities are conflated with magic, just as bad. Preacher said Ghood said it they believe it that Settles it.</P><P>Make no mistake, this does not mean they are blind to The World around them. They are not Luddites, they take full advantage of technology and read the news. They are firm in the belief they are in The World, not of The World.
*Bureau File: This church has produced one criminal radical already and they like that about themselves. They openly admitted to praying Helenanna would loose her child and die. We should be thankful that the Lady and her mate have not laid about this place with swords on a Sunday morning. Watch action. They might make more radicals and we will be ready this time.
