How did surviving Branch Davidians reorganize after the Waco siege?

Following the 1993 siege and the destruction of the Mount Carmel compound, the surviving Branch Davidians—numbering approximately 25 individuals—undertook a process to reorganize and rebuild their movement.1

In the years following the tragedy, these survivors focused on publishing the writings of their former leader, David Koresh. By the end of the 1990s, the group had more than doubled in size, though reports indicated that no clear leadership structure had emerged to replace Koresh.1

It is important to note that the Branch Davidians are distinct from other surviving Davidian groups, such as the Davidian Seventh-day Adventist Association and the General Association of Davidian Seventh-day Adventists, which reorganized in the 1960s and maintain no connection to the Branch Davidians or Koresh’s teachings.1
