b'In the early 1980s, several adults came together and formed a \\u201cnew light\\u201d bible study group in Grants Pass, Oregon. This was a group of Seventh-day Adventists who wanted to be more in tune with God. Eventually, the group welcomed sisters Sharon and Deborah Halstead, childhood friends of the leader\\u2019s husband who grew up with him in California.
