After the originator of the term "cool-aid" Jim Jones, a great speaker and messiah figure promised a utopian society. He preaches a socialistic message with no rich or poor but a commonality of wealth and possessions. He promised healing and miracles while hypnotizing his followers by his charisma. All was well for a while but then the messiah turned into the dictator. Rather than be a failure he would rather sacrifice the flock. When there was opposition his henchmen forced the followers to drink poison cool aid.

Have we learned nothing?

JIVIN JIM JONES


REPENT v. To sorrow or be pained for sin, as a violation of God's holy law, a dishonor to His character and government, and the foulest ingratitude to a Being of infinite benevolence.

Jones was a voracious reader as a child, studying Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler.[6] He studied each carefully, noting their strengths and weaknesses.
