[edit] Point of View (POV) tag
I added the POV tag. The article does not have a NPOV. The tone is negative towards the Seventh-day Adventist Church and positive towards Victor Houteff and the Shepherd's Rod. Few references are provided. -Colin MacLaurin 19:01, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Substantiate. Obviously this piece is a work in progress as it hardly concludes Houteff's life.
POV it does have a NPOV. with all respect the sda church treated houteff in a mannor that to describe accurately would only sound negative towards them. that is the fact of the matter, its like saying it is unfair to talk about the way the jews treated Christ because it paints them in a negative light (not all jews behaved that way just thoughs who desired to see Christ crucified). i'm sorry but it is what it is!
The SDA church in no way crucified Victor Houteff. As for POV: no info is given regarding the reasons for his diffellowship or any info from the non-Houteff side. Other than implied (and unsubtantiated) corruption in SDA leadership nothing is said as to the doctrinal reasons for that occurence. And not much is explained in the way of what Houteff taught. The intro to his writings does not constitute explanation of the contents thereof. This article is decidedly POV as no sources or references are given to "external" (i.e. non-Houteff) info. A one sided story is just that: one sided. I'll research this subject and add anything relevant that I come across. And although I am an SDA that doesn't negate the relevancy of my points.
P.S. please add user/timestamps by pressing "~" four time at the end of posts. It's considered a common courtesy by most. Historiocality 05:47, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WS:COTW
This is a note to inform all interested watchers of this article that Wikisource has chosen the Branch Davidians and Waco Siege as their Collaboration of the Week.
This means that we are spending this week collecting, copying and formatting Public Domain documents related to the church and its 1993 siege. This includes speeches by David Koresh, Federal documents in the aftermath of the siege, the charges against Lon Horiuchi and the surviving church members, and early church documents whose copyright have expired.
We would encourage you all to come help us, if you have any questions, feel free to leave a question on my talk page - either on Wikisource or Wikipedia!
I hope to see some of you there, helping us document the primary sources for future research and historical analysis!
