" I always remember the Jim Jones thing. Perversion. So easy for people to be swayed falsely. "
Jim Jones removed ALL Bibles from his church and demanded his followers call him God. That should have been a tip off to his followers, as to which spirit they were following. He also took all their property, money and etc, therefore making them totally dependent upon a madman.
Jones died as a godless marxist. Not a big surprise that he'd also murdered those who followed him. Jones became a little Stalin wannabee. Very sad for the those he killed at the airport, his flock and their families.
I have never forgotten that. You don't hear much about it anymore.
You are right in your decription of him and his followers. A case where he became God to his followers and God was forgotten.
I haven't seen that TV portrayal for awhile, but it seemed pretty accurate.
