A continuation of the discussion on cults.
Links to information on the Jim Jones cult and how they executed the only sitting
Congressman in United States history. A rare occurrence but isn't it wonderful that it occurs
rarely?
I am interested in this subject now for various reasons but I was reminded recently. I tend to
get the country in South America where his settlement was and the country in Africa where the
slaves crossed into the middle passage confused. Of course, I am far from a historian. But
see the facts for yourself.
According to some sources, the cyanide poisonings were planned years before they
happened.
A biography about the founder Jim Jones.
A NPR report.
Information about cults and Jim Jones and his group.

An additional note about the quest from the Travel Site.
Regarding my challenge to gather information to PROVE that some were visited by space
aliens during Ancient Egypt, we may get an interesting response from some of extreme
conservative views:
"Yes, they were visited by space aliens IF one would call signs of what some would call
demonic activity evidence of visitation by a space alien!
No tricks and definitely NO treats!"
Even the book of Exodus notes Moses had to deal with the magicians and their magic.
Remembering that it quite possible for advanced intelligence to appear to be magic to
those who are not so advanced.
Just remember that EVERY religion of the world has been accused of dealing in demonic
activity at some point. Even Jesus Christ himself was accused.
I will advise you like he did: Be careful when you even THINK such things.
If in doubt, even about "super advanced space aliens", prayer for others is always a better
alternative.

This news article notes how 200,000 animals will be sacrificed to a god and how some will
be eaten later.
Interesting.
I note this article because in America we advocate freedom of religion. We have laws
which protect this freedom.
I guess there seems to be some limitations (which is interesting when you mention the
word "freedom") but in America you can worship the devil himself without free of reprisal.
Supposedly. I don't but I definitely do believe in freedom of religion
AND
freedom of speech (about all of those freedoms, too.)
because I believe MY God can work HIS wonders ANY where!
Even in the depths of "hell". He doesn't live there but, I am told that He can visit from time
to time.
So I have no fear of certain "freedoms".
I had heard many times from many people that if "their" god (the people of other religions)
was so powerful, they would have more money and would NOT be living in abject poverty!
It seems that even though many of our jobs are going overseas, some of the citizens are
still living in poverty. "What do they REALLY know? Nothing!!"
Maybe more than you know about how the world REALLY works, huh?
Note: Although, if you work diligently, you should have SOMETHING, we are warned about
equating one's spiritual condition with one's level of monetary wealth, too. That is
DEFINITELY Protestant theology. Which is worse? That type of thinking or sacrificing
200,000 animals and then eating them? (I am not trying to bash Protestantism. But I just
trying to get you to think outside the box.)
However, equating financial wealth with holiness is synonymous with "hanging the
prophets" because many of them had to exist on the goodness of others. They were
POOR! (Please. Do NOT call yourself a prophet just because you are poor!)
In today's time, would the prophets of old be called sinners, too? The Bible says "YES!
YES! YES! Absolutely!" And they would DIE because of it and other reasons, too. "No
money, no power and therefore, NO GOD!" In fact, just constantly living with the idea
financial prosperity is the same as holiness is thoroughly, totally and absolutely corrupting.
Having wealth consists of more than just how much money one has in their pocket, too.
I am not saying that those who have money are abject sinners. I am not saying that you
should give all your money away to obtain holiness. I am just presenting another point of
view that we should be aware of: just be careful when you judge another's servant. Judge
YOURSELF!
Of course, having no "worldly possessions" AND being saintly does NOT mean owing
others lots of money, though. Of course, others can owe others lots of money for a variety
of reasons (mostly stupidity) which is not a reflection of poor character. In fact, Mosaic
laws advocates a year of Jubilee (every 50 years) where others are released of their
financial obligation to others.
If I get in a better mood, I would LOVE to write more on that theory. I am not now.
I'm tired, too. Haven't you noticed? It is that time of year.
Just thinking of animal sacrifices dampens my mood, too. The subject can get REALLY
ugly! Not a fearful subject; just a ugly one! God knows that I am not AFRAID to write about
it but the more I learn, the uglier the truth gets. I rather see someone make a movie about
it and say the ENTIRE subject is ALL a bunch of lies. We can all live with THAT notion
can't we? The process gets very tedious because one must weave through lots of useless
wives tale, fiction, legends and etc, to get to the truth ANY time you talk about blood. It
also can become a ugly process because some people believe some "facts" that may not
be "facts" and such "knowledge" distracts from the real truth. Additionally, we must not
forget that a change in events can occur whether others believe a lie or the truth; others
react to either. But that prospect should not cause others to diminishes one's right to free
speech. If EVERYONE is allowed to speak, then you can almost be assured that the truth
will come out and freedoms will continue.
However, although, I don't like to engage in useless debating, I don't like to provoke
debate and then disappear. Such methods can be gut wrenching! Additionally, depending
on the subject matter, some would consider that an irresponsible tactic. However, I can
understand why others use that approach: people need to talk about certain subject
matters in order to ENSURE our freedoms are retained and/or improved!
Enough. If I write this just as it SHOULD be written,w you would NEVER get the message.
Why is that so? I do not know.
(Updated at 5:xx am.
I know. Now.
See I Corinthians 2. You may want to read Chapter 1, too, remembering Apostle
Paul was a HIGHLY educated man from the upper echelon of society.
Translation: I definitely don't have all the answers but there is someone who
does. So I need to make sure the focus stays on those Eternal Truth as much as
possible and not myself. Of course, I would rather be doing "hands on" health
care and I get upset about it. That dismay may be reflected in my performance
here, also. But I don't see any career in health care happening soon. (sob) It may
never happen. I want to hate someone SO badly because of that but whom? Oh. I
am upset but I have to accept reality. I recently had a horrible, horrible, horrible
dream that reality SEEMS to be even MORE true to me. (sob) So this is it! Fer
now. Second choice. Or third choice. Thank you for allowing me to engage in my
public service calling, though. God bless you.
Happy Holidays! I am glad someone can be happy. We have a black man as President but
maybe one day we will ALL be free, huh? I will have to find another more complicated but
legit way to "heal".
Okay. A little bit of the dream becuase I do NOT live my life based on dreams. I just
analyze them slightly to see if my subconscious mind is TRYING to DESPERATELY to tell
me something. My dream is telling me that we aren't all free.
A little bit about the dream.
