A Branch on Fire

“Gun fire breaks out at an isolated compound in Waco Texas. It was a battle between 100 ATF agents and my “friends” from California; Steve Schneider, Jimmy Riddle and others as led by Vernon Howell, the long haired hippy dude that quoted passages of scripture to me at lightning speed a few years earlier. He would be known by another name, David Koresh. The gun fight lasted forty five minutes followed with a standoff that would last for nearly two months, while FBI agents attempting to put an end to the fiasco watched eighty members including their leader perish as the entire compound goes up in flames.”


This is my story about how I became involved with the Branch Davidians. How they set my life ablaze, and my subsequent recovery from brainwashing.
