On this day in 1978, Peoples Temple founder Jim Jones led hundreds of his followers in a mass murder-suicide at their agricultural commune in a remote part of the South American nation of Guyana. This incredibly tragic occurrence introduce the term “…drink the Kool-Aid” into our parlance, since poison-laced punch was the vehicle behind most of the deaths. This serves as a stark warning and reminder to those in the prepping/survivalist community who would join with like-minded friends under the leadership of a charismatic leader. Always know who you are following!
Preparedness Notes for Sunday – November 18, 2018
Remember that some of the deaths were the result of gunshot wounds.
Gaslighting to the extreme! That guy was completely nuts!
Beware of cults that profess the name Jesus or “Christ” in this case to gain legitimacy but reject the Truth at the same time. A lie is a lie!
The most unfortunate consequence of such an abhorrent event is in the seeds of doubt that it sows into those who already have an aversion to anything religious (especially Christianity).
“Always know who you are following.”
This goes for politicians as well.
