where i ended up in Indiana before eventually venturing out West, we had one of the biggest cults ever formed.
the ironic thing was my Grandfather, was paid to teach Hebrew, to come hold Revival, to explain the Bible. Everyone revered my Grandfather. People even would come from out of State to have my Grandfather pray for them or to see him Preach/Teach. The majority core of of Protestant Denominations would have my Grandfather come teach the Hebrew from Methodist, Baptist, Wesleyan, Pentecostal, Independent, etc, so people knew and believed my Grandfather was a real Man of God.
well, my Grandfather had 8 Children and the oldest son, my Uncle David, was like ice and fire combination and he and my grandfather just didn't get along. My Grandfather even told him, in front of all, Family Reunion, he isn't going to Hell for my Uncle to allow him to push these ideas he wanted to upon the family.
anyway, big split.
years later, here the Uncle and his family show up for a Reunion.
they were seriously changed.
then they started talking about their Faith.
GLORY BARN, the BARN!
you can look them up.
just to point something out.
one of the Uncle's Twin Daughter's, now married with her own children, had one that was extremely ill [eventually died] at the Reunion. many were like get that baby to a hospital.
but, the mom, my cousin, was following the direction of Faith according to her Demonic Glory Barn Theology.
anyways, everyone was like let Grandpa pray for that baby!!
she said, he ain't a man of God and would only cause the demons inside him to enter her baby.
the chick was complete nuts!
anyway, research these MORONS:

WARSAW, Ind. -- At least 52 people have died for lack of medical care because they or their parents belonged to a fundamentalist church that insists only faith in God will heal them, but a coroner said Monday the church is beyond the reach of state law.
The 52 victims were linked to the Faith Assembly, a 10-year-old church based in Wilmot, Ind., and headed by the Rev. Hobart Freeman. It has about 2,000 members.
