From a young age, Jim Jones had his eyes set on becoming a preacher. At 24 he would accomplish that goal by opening the Peoples Temple church in Indianapolis. But, by the end of his life he lead over 900 people to their death in what is now known as the Jonestown Massacre. Before 9/11 the Jonestown Massacre was the largest loss of U.S. civilian lives from a non-natural disaster, and I caution anyone who decides to look up this case because the pictures alone will have you shaking.

You GUYS. We are tackling one of the newest religions, or oldest cults, depending on how you want to look at it.

Family is everything. No question about it. True, they will get on your nerves like nobody’s business. But at the end of the day, it's all love. I WISH that was the theme for today. But, this “Family” is nothing of the sort. This “Family” ruthlessly murdered without remorse or care, all led by a deranged racist who couldn’t deal with rejection. What better way to kick off the cult season then by starting with Charles Manson. Sources: https://www.oxygen.com/all/charles-manson https://www.oprahdai...
