In 1993 Koresh led a 51-day standoff against the ATF and FBI when the bureaus issued search warrants against the sect on suspicion of illegal hoarding of firearms. David was raised by his grandparents in Texas and attended the Seventh Day Adventist Church. During his senior year, he dropped out to become a carpenter before moving to Los Angeles trying to make it as a rockstar. When he moved back to Texas, he was kicked out of his church when he tried to pursue the pastor's daughter. By 1982, he moved to Waco and joined the Branch Davidians, founded by a man named Ben Roden. Roden studied under Victor Houteff who was the leader of the original Davidian Seventh Day Adventist group. However, when Roden formed his own group, his teachings were not connected with the original Davidians.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
