“I know that Pastor Jim Jones is God Almighty himself!” cried one of the more than 1000 people who overflowed the auditorium of Benjamin Franklin Junior High School on Geary Boulevard yesterday morning and Saturday night.

“You say I am God Almighty?” asked the Rev. Mr. Jones, the charismatic pastor-prophet of the People’s Temple Christian (Disciples) Church near Ukiah, who was holding special services in San Francisco this weekend.

“Yes, you are!” shrieked the unidentified but obviously ecstatic woman, as the audience clapped or waved their arms and shouted approval at Sunday services.

Busing

The Rev. Mr. Jones has been consistently attracting congregations of more than 1000 people - who travel by the fleet of ex-Greyhound buses from as far away as Los Angeles and Seattle to his home in Redwood Valley, seven miles north of Ukiah, and to services such as those this weekend in San Francisco.

Among those attracted is the assistant district attorney of Mendocino County, Timothy O. Stoen, who has affirmed in writing that the Rev. Mr. Jones has raised 40 people from the dead.

Jones arrived in California in 1965, accompanied by 165 of his parishioners from the People’s Temple of Indianapolis, where he served as pastor.

He is a darkly handsome, 41 year old, part-Cherokee who is an ordained minister of 1.9 million member the Disciples of Christ (Christian) Church.

Absolutely—Jim Jones said very similar things; required work (Peoples Temple worked HARD and literally didn’t sleep); required no cynicism; required socialism; he also never allowed his followers to go back to their lives as usual. . .Obama is Jim Jones II.
