Some people become "lost" or maybe "lonely". When some people are spiritually feeble, they sometimes seek out something new, something different,
something exciting to fill the gap in their lives. Sometimes their journey brings them to spiritual awakening with God or the total
opposite--spiritual awakening with evil. When people are "searching", whoever, whatever, at that time, sounds or looks good to them--they will
accept and follow that path.
As you know, many people followed Jim Jones--he brought hope to the lost--he said the "right" things to quench their thirst. Seduction has conqured
many a people. BUT, once you are IN--the seduction is over--the brainwashing begins.
These people really did believe Jim Jones was their "saviour" until it was too late. (Some but not all)
It was a devastasing story to hear about. The sickest thing to me--were the innocent children!! Children are so believing of their parents--and in
situations like this one--the children probably did not disobey when told to drink the poison. The sickness of a parent making their child kill
themselves--actually there are NO words to describe such an autrosity.
Stories like these are ages old--still goes on--nothing we can really do about it. Let's just be appreciative that our own children are safe and
sound of mind and try our best to teach them about the evils of mankind.
