Steve Kent, a sociology professor at the University of Alberta, specializes in the study of alternative religions. Though he has not studied the Word of Life Tabernacle church specifically, Kent said he has received calls over the years about followers of William Branham, a 20th-century evangelist whose teachings Phipps and her family followed.Groups that follow Branham have a reputation of having strict rules and regulations, especially toward women, he said.[1]
