We are beginning a close examination of the by-laws that govern the various Davidian Associations or General Association of Davidian Seventh-day Adventists (GA-DSDA) of which there are three rival factions under the banner of Mt. Carmel Center, specifically Salem, Mt. Dale, and Waco. We begin with the Mt. Dale GA-DSDA-MC that emerged from the Salem GA-DSDA in 1983 since we have copies of their by-laws over a period of time. These are listed below for your examination and can be conveniently downloaded as PDF documents. They are being compared to the original 1943 Leviticus of Davidian Seventh-day Adventists a scanned copy which is available for your own investigation.
