"In the early 1970's Mrs. Gwen Shaw (then Gwen Schmidt) founded the End-Time Handmaidens. ("Servants" was added several years later after men expressed interest in joining. ) Joel 2: 28-29 is the basis for this cult's name. At the time, she lived in Chicago. She married James v. D. Shaw, and around 1974 settled her cult in the northwest corner of Arkansas, just south of the town of Jasper. The estate is comprised of 340 acres of mostly wooded land in a valley that is labeled "The Grand Canyon of the Ozarks. ” The small amount of acreage that is cleared is occupied by 5 houses, 2 garages, a large dormitory that also houses a chapel and dining room/ kitchen, a barn, and a pasture for livestock. (Circa 1991.) This area of Arkansas is home to other cults and aberrant groups. In the early 1980s on a bridge just outside of Jasper, two members of F. O. U. (Foundation of Ubiquity) killed themselves before a crowd. They had stated that they would resurrect within three days. "The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord" is located near the Arkansas-Missouri border, and believers in the Book of Urantia are sprinkled throughout the Jasper area.". Very Good .
