Jim Jones had sex with members of his cult (males included), was a drug addict, a deviant (caught masturbating in a public restroom), and roughly 300 children died during the massacre

I’d piss on his grave

Jim didn't start off crazy but over time the more power he got.......ect.

90% of his church was black, included more whites the bigger he got

His bestfriend got into the FBI, then Jim was personally trained via FBI on brainwashing.

Almost the worst kind of cult leader.

In Indiana (?) he was doing food drives, getting seniors housing, free transportation etc... if i recall, there was never any suggestions of criminal or cult like behavior until he moved and the congregation grew.

Once he got hooked on meth, it really brought out what had been inside the whole time. i was listening to some of the final tapes on a podcast, and the shyt he had people doing was crazy. Old black women, sounding like my grandmother, cheering as he tortured people. Mind blowing...

What do you mean he was torturing people?

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

You DO know he was an atheist, right?

Q622 Transcript – Alternative Considerations of Jonestown & Peoples Temple

Jones: Well, thank you for the feedback, ‘cause, I must say, I felt somewhat hypocritical for the last years as I became uh, an atheist, uh, I have become uh, you— you feel uh, tainted, uh, by being in the church situation. But of course, everyone knows where I’m at. My bishop knows that I’m an atheist. He— He knows that I— I— I recognize only love, when I say— I’ll say, "God is Love"— well, you heard my preaching. You know where I’m at.

An absence of religious language and practice corresponded to the emphasis on socialism and Communist indoctrination that occurred in Jonestown. Jones gave no sermons in Jonestown, but instead interpreted international news, directed the Jonestown economy, and gave monologues – or harangues – at Peoples Rallies. When religion did come up, it was to criticize it. For example, when Jones exhorted residents to pretend to be “in” the Holy Spirit, he was mocking the Pentecostal roots of the movement. He called Jesus an oppressor of black people. Peoples Temple was no longer a religious organization, at least not Guyana, but was instead a socialistic utopian experiment. How he conned the people into believing his bullshyt is another story in and of itself.

How he conned the people into believing his bullshyt is another story in and of itself. Luckily, for us, some of his victims left behind some of his writings......​

Of the thousands of documents which members of Peoples Temple left behind following their mass deaths on 18 November 1978, there are very few which Jim Jones apparently wrote himself. One of these few is “The Letter Killeth,” an undated, 24-page booklet which Jones prepared to denigrate the Bible’s legitimacy through its errors and inconsistencies, its defense of slavery, and its depictions of rapes and murders which were condoned or ordered by God. In seeming contradiction, the booklet also provides the Biblical basis for the Peoples Temple ministry as well as defends Jones’ position as an anointed prophet of the Word. However, this takes up only a small portion of the text and was not as important to Jones’ message about the Bible.

What do you mean he was torturing people?

The one example that I can remember was his punishment to someone who stole I believe. She was deeply afraid of snakes, almost hysterical. And he had his people hold her and rub snakes over her till she pretty much broke.

I don't think he ever personally got his hands dirty, but he had his inner circle commit a lot of torture.

ETA: He did beat a pedo's balls with a rubber hose until they bled personally. Drinking the Kool-Aid: A Survivor Remembers Jim Jones
