"The National Alliance. Based on a 346-acre compound in Mill Point, West Virginia, the National Alliance is also strongly anti-Semitic, although it doesn't have ties with Germany or German Nazis. Leader William L. Pierce is the author of The Turner Diaries, which he calls the 'Handbook for White Victory.' It's the adventurous fantasy that inspired members of The Order to rob banks and print counterfeit money to raise cash to finance a revolution against the U.S. government. Recently, Pierce decided to follow the route of the religious right, and he established the 'Cosmotheist Community Church,' which also gave him tax-exempt status. " |

Melton, J. Gordon (ed.). The Encyclopedia of American Religions: Vol. 1. Tarrytown, NY: Triumph Books (1991), pg. 299. Chapter: Pentecostal Family; section: Other Pentecostals. |
"Neverdies... Known locally in the communities of West Virginia as the Church of the Living Gospel or the Church of the Everlasting Gospel, the Neverdies are Pentecostals who believe in immortality not only of the soul but also of the body. The soul, the believe, returns to earth in a series of reincarnations until it succeeds in living a perfect life. At that point, the boy can live forever. THe origin of the group has been lost, but among the first teachers was Ted Oiler, born in 1906, who in 1973 was still traveling a circuit through the mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. The congregations are rather loosely knit, held together by their acceptance of what is a rather unusual doctrine for the mountain area. Among the leaders is Rev. Henry Holstine of Charleston, West Virginia. " |
