Lies

Оглавление

“In spite of all that I’ve tried, a handful of our people, with their lies, have made our lives impossible.”

—Jim Jones

The quickest way to control people is to create a common enemy. Once fear of impending consequences is established, people will do whatever they’re told. There is no clearer modern example of this than Jonestown. In the midst of a manufactured paranoia, Jim Jones led the community to death. The people followed because they didn’t believe they had a choice. They believed life was impossible. It wasn’t. God has never been about impossible. Neither should we be.

Amen.

Jim Jones: There’s no way to detach ourselves from what’s happened today. Not only–We’re in a compound situation, not only are there those who have left and committed the betrayal of the century, some have stolen children from others and then seek right now to kill them because they stole their children, and we are sitting here waiting on a powder keg. I don’t think it is what we want to do with our babies. I don’t think that’s what we had in mind to do with our babies. It was said by the greatest of prophets, from time immemorial . . .
