I'm not sure if this should be in this forum or 'Religions and Cults'. It seems to straddle each forum, but if it needs to be moved, then hey!
I came across this group while reading a work colleagues copy of 'Marie Claire' magazine (honest...there was nothing else to read....).
It seems that this group is actually one very large family, supposedly between 1000 and 1500 strong. Inbreeding is par for the course as the whole idea is to keep the bloodline pure ('Marie Claire' says that the clan believe that they are descended from old JC himself), but this results in the birth of many deformed babies.
There are a few sites on the web about them, here's one
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingston_clan
which should give you some idea about them.
The 'Marie Claire' article also mentioned an even further out Mormon sect who apparently 'live out in the desert in a hollowed out rock'. No name of this sect was given but I guess they are somewhere in the Utah/California area. Does anyone have any information on them?
Must be honest, I'm amazed that groups like this exist. It's Deliverance in the desert!!! :?
