It is doubtful that the group has more followers than the ones living (in poverty, if we are to believe their website) in Sweden. Maybe some scattered individuals in the US. To my knowledge all the associations they had with Eastern European groups dismantled. The founder and prophet, Christopher Warren, claims to continuously receive revelations which he published in a book called "The Olive Branch". Some of these revelations have been revised several times, particularly to acommodate to his new blend of Judaism and a kind of Christianity.
