After Waco, the remaining Branch Davidians split into *two* tiny factions
who really don't like each other and fight over whatever it is that remains
of the Church. (Academics and student politicians will recognise the sort
of politics involved.) the-branch.org is one of the branches.

([[Branch Davidian]] is an article amazingly deserving of an NPOV tag. The
current version may be worth linking as an example of a lengthy article of
substance in severe need of NPOVing.)
