Jim Jones was nothing but a gangster and a child murderer. Corruption, extortion, intimidation, etc. The fact that this country allowed this to happen is not acceptable. Period. Leo Ryan should've gone into that place with a fucking platoon, an interpol task force, whatever, and arrested Jones and his key people at the first sign of trouble. Very poor planning and approach. Could have and absolutely should have been prevented, no excuses.

@TheRunwayPrincess Islam is a cult, read about it. If anyone leaves islam they can be killed. 'Honour' killings, not able to critize the koran, and many more. It does have sexual perversion= child brides, women beaten in pakistan=physical abuse, killing christians and jews=intolerance, legalism=following the hadiths and habits of muhammad. Not making friends other than muslims. Its the biggest cult.

@Thevoiceofoz Islam is NOT a cult. it now has th religion that has the HIGHEST following in the world. At a point in time all religions could be considered a cult until the definition was revised due to the common use being for negative remarks rather than all religious group.

Almost ALL cults have these factors being a part of them. Legalism, sexual perversion, physical abuse, or intolerance. Please gain insight on this such topic before making comment the could be offensive to many.

@rustyrim17 The name of the actual juice was called "Flavor-Aid"

but personally i refer to it as "Jim-O-nade"

[Thevoiceofoz]

Why are all the cults are so prominent in the USA? SDA, Mormons, Islam, JW, and Pentacostals.

okayy he just messed up when he said that if you see me as your god then i ll be your god..um hello the first commandment says that you are not supposed to put know other gods before me!

[JMC296]

@pablosiyes However you want to justify it. All I know is hundreds and hundreds of children died on that day and surely the extent to which they "chose their paths" was very, very limited.
