Jim Jones

Jim Jones was an intelligent but disturbed child. The young Jones once stabbed a cat to death. He had an intense interest in religion and death, and he studied several historical figures like Stalin, Marx, Gandhi, and Hitler looking for their strengths and weaknesses. He would preach to his childhood friends, and the most disturbing incident was he threatened one of his friends with a gun that tried to leave in during one of his many "preachings". In later life he married, started a "rainbow" family (Jones adopted children from several ethnic groups) and a church called the "People's Temple" (the title of the church alone hints of its true Marxist). He had trouble with his birth son due to his extremely hypocritical behavior such as his consent affairs and his drug addiction. During his services at his church, Jones performed several "miracles", including one where he made this woman that was allegedly wheel chair bound walk again. Investigations show that the "wheel-chair bound" women never had any disabilities at all. After several years of controversy and bad publicity for him and his "church" (it was more of a Marxist organization then a religious church), Jones moved him and his so called "church" to the obscure country of Guyana. After several reports of abusive behavior towards the settlers in Jamestown and their families pressuring the American Government to investigate the reports of abusive behavior, along with reports of dissidents with in the church. The American government sends congressmen Leo Ryan to investigate. Ryan's investigations quickly go to hell when several guards from the church ambush the congressman and kill him. This starts a chain of reactions that caused the forced mass suicides of 900 people in the congregation by forcing its members to drink poisoned flavor aid. Jones' corpse has found with a single gunshot wound in the head.

Some bizarre elements of Jones' Peoples temple and Jones himself was reviled. Jones has openly banned homosexuality, but evidence suggests the Jones has engaged in LGBT sex. Once incident, Jones was caught sexually soliciting another man by the FBI. Jones also banned sex among his congregation, but he relentlessly had sexual intercourse with several of his female members of his church. Jones also claimed to be god, but he privately claimed to be an atheist. In fact, he threatened to commit suicide if his wife continued to pray to god. All in all, Jones is a big enigma that continues to shock and amaze those study him.
