A few things I can pass along:
1. They have relaxed in at least some ways. Youg Burbach made a show one day of "throwing the rulebook away." Not sure how far it goes, but it's something.
2. I don't think most are reaching out to families yet... perhaps out of habit and refusing to admit they were wrong all those years. (Wild guesses on my part.)
3. The ruling family (Maltheson/Burbach/Sparks) still seems in control and the cliques still seem to be intact.
4. Many are now going to doctors.
5. They are clearly reaching out to former members, trying to get them to come back.
Hope this helps in some way.

Note to moderator: The comment from PDTOON was not that they joined Assemblies of God, but that they were becoming like them.
