On the surface it seemed like a pretty bad inference but now I see what caused you to make the Waco connection. Nothing sinsister, just the word Branch.

Oh Caveman Avatar Dude!


Bad joke. Weak attempt, but CC1 was correct. Nothing could be closer to 9 million miles away wrong.

When I think of Waco, I think of weird cults, bumbling government agencies, and extremists...not sexual immorality with 13 yrs olds. (I know it happened, but I really don't think about that)...so I-90, I got your humor.

BTW...to me, the whole metal watch band thing and pantyhose and shiny belt buckles...while its not sick like Waco, its just as weird as most cults to me...sorry, not trying to be confrontational, just my opinion.

This could be the opening Denny Perdew needs to finally get out of that cowtown he is pastoring in!

While I don't agree with the anti-sports crowd, I can better understand their theology because of dress standards, it doesn't ring as weird to me.

The reason I thought of it was that I lived just 90 miles away during all of that and it had tremendous media coverage.

I have said that David Koresh should be recognized and honored as the greatest salesman of the 20th century.

If you were a man here is what you had to agree to if you wanted to be a Branch Davidian and live at the Koresh Compound.;

1. Live in Waco Texas in buildings with no air conditioning (96-105 degrees all summer long). Only one area in the compound had A/C. Yup, you guessed it, David Koresh'es private living / sleeping quarters.

2. All Branch Davidians were required to get up at 4 or 5 am and do rigeorous
exercise routines in the yard (except for David Koresh who slept till around
noon in his air conditioned bedroom)

3. You could not have sex with your wife BUT David Koresh could whenever he wished.

4. David Koresh could take your daugther, as young as 13, for sexual relations.

How he sold all that I have no idea. It just shows that there are groups of people so desperate for structure they will obey anything.
