I remember the event when it actually happened. I remember the horrible pictures of piles of bodies, including hundreds of children, rotting in the jungle. I am afraid you have many of the facts mixed up.ckfarbes said:I was used to attend that church assembly of God long times ago.. I heard that true story, Her name Kathren brown who was Governer of califoina, her brother which i forget his name but my aware his last name was jones.. anyway he was leader pastor who ran the assembly of God.. anyway his followers who submitted him and he told alll followers of Assembly of God, gave up everythings and sold their stuffs then all follwers left the U.S. of america, flied over cuba, pastor and followers drink posion, he killed his followers and even he committed suicide himself too.. but two black people who were followers of this man.. they did actually went there with them. they deicded to refuse to drink posion. they watched alll followers and their pastor drunk the poison as same time, then all suddenly died.. that is true story what i heard..
Here is the real story: http://www.crimelibrary.com/serial4/jonestown/
California has had two governors with the last name Brown, and they were both men (Pat and Jerry).Her name Kathren brown who was Governer of califoina, her brother which i forget his name but my aware his last name was jones..
Jim Jones was the cult leader. (Real name James Warren Jones)
"Jim Jones, the son of a Klansman, considered himself the reincarnation of both Jesus and Lenin." http://www.gbs.sha.bw.schule.de/jim_jones_history.htm
He was ordained in the Christian Church/Disciples of Christ....anyway he was leader pastor who ran the assembly of God..
He established his own cult called "The People's Temple".... anyway his followers who submitted him and he told alll followers of Assembly of God, gave up everythings and sold their stuffs then all follwers left the U.S. of america,
He and his followers established a community in Jonestown, Guyana (not Cuba)....flied over cuba,
Here is a good synopsis of what happened:...pastor and followers drink posion, he killed his followers and even he committed suicide himself too..

In 1978, U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan went to Jonestown to investigate supposed abuses by the People's Temple onto its members. After staying for a day, Ryan tried to leave, taking four of the cult members who had decided to defect. Realizing this, Jones ordered them killed, as was done. Sensing that his utopia in the jungle would surely come to an end after word got back to the states about Ryan; Jones decide to put his suicide plan into action. Telling his subjects that it was a "revolutionary death," he had a large quantity of fruit punch laced with cyanide prepared. After making all 276 children at Jonestown drink the punch, all the adults proceeded. In the end, after Jones apparently killed himself with a gunshot to the head, 914 people had died.
As you can see, none of this was related to Assembly of God.
