  • Jim Jones

    From Jeff Squires@1:120/457 to All on Tuesday, September 07, 2021 18:44:31
    Ok here is a question for you:
    In 1978 Jim Jones had over 900 of his followers kill themselves (either on the own accord or by gunpoint) drink drink aid laced with cyanide and then took his own life by gunshot.

    Was Jones:

    A: An extreme religious zelot that believed god had called him to his position.

    B. A Communist and Socialist who used religion to push his Socialist ideas.

    ... Operator, give me the number for 911

    Both, as well as being a drug addict and insane.
