They had a scattering of buildings and bunk rooms, and a central rec room. They raised horses and a few other animals. Everyone was carrying guns all the time because there was a wild dog/wolf problem in the area. Some guy a few miles away had been raising them, and then his girlfriend and her side guy killed him and let them out. So it wasn't safe to be out by yourself after dark.

There were maybe 10 or 15 people living there while I was there. The land was cheap because there was no good water (The aquifer under that part of West Texas is brackish) so a lot of weirdos move out into the desert and become hermits. Both the weirdos and the cult were constantly planning for when the government came to take their guns and put them in camps. Which, in retrospect, is hilarious.

The cult had some weird religious beliefs about pre-adamic races. They thought that humanity was actually a second try, and that the first Adam was originally married to Lilith. I don't remember most of the details. They really wanted more people to live out there with them, so they were pretty intense about trying to get myself or my siblings to marry into the cult. I went through there years later, and the original leader had died, but his wife and daughter was still out there trying to convince people to come live with them. They offered me some land to stay.

I'm using text to speech, so if you see any weird typos that's why.
