1 Cor 8:5-7
5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"),
6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
7 But not everyone knows this.

: On my way to Town today I was listening to the most popular
: S.F. radio station KGO and Jackie Spier came on to talk

: about gun control. She linked her story to when she was
: shot 7 times in Guyana during the Jim Jones Peoples Temple
: massacre 40 years ago.

: Well that brought back a lot of memories from 40 years ago and
: how many Dem. Politicians had been so supportive of Jim
: Jones so I started going back to the old news stories...boy
: that old staying the more things change the more they stay
: the same came to mind.

: The Dems did then exactly what they are doing now and it's
: really worth reading...not just about the gun control but
: also the push for socialism using race.

: Here's a snip of what I found and links to much more...guard
: your children well!!

: Jones Captivated S.F.'s Liberal Elite / They were late to
: discover how cunningly he curried favor

: FIRST OF TWO PARTS
: On November 18, 1978, gunmen from the Peoples Temple opened
: fire at a jungle airstrip in Guyana. Five people, including
: Rep. Leo Ryan , were killed. Within hours, another 914
: people had been murdered or committed suicide at Jonestown,
: including temple founder Jim Jones .

: Jones had built his ministry into a force in San Francisco
: with a program of helping the young, elderly and destitute.
: Supporters, including powerful officials, defended him
: against allegations that he was abusing followers.

: The probes drove Jones to Guyana. When a visiting delegation
: led by Ryan tried to leave with defectors, Jones turned to
: murder and "revolutionary suicide."

: Before he became infamous for leading 913 people to their
: deaths in the Guyanese jungle, the Rev. Jim Jones was the
: darling of San Francisco's liberal establishment -- a man
: who could spread the wealth to all the fashionable
: charities and, at a moment's notice, marshal thousands of
: followers for a good cause.

: Jones was a minister of the Disciples of Christ, but in San
: Francisco he was best known as the suave if slightly
: sinister leader of Peoples Temple, a flock of perhaps 8,000
: people, mostly poor and mostly black, who appeared to do
: everything Jones told them to do.

: With these willing workers, Jones made himself the perfect
: gift for the liberal machine of U.S. Representatives
: Phillip and John Burton, Assemblyman Willie Brown and Mayor
: George Moscone, which was trying to consolidate its hold on
: San Francisco politics.

: After Jonestown, the politicians were left to explain how they
: had become so taken by Jones -- some of them pedaling away
: from their close relationship to the sect leader, while
: others simply admitted that they had been led astray.

: "There wasn't anything magical about Jim's power,"
: Timothy Stoen, who spent nearly seven years in Peoples
: Temple as Jones' attorney, said the other day.

: "It was raw politics. He was able to deliver what
: politicians want, which is power. And how do you get power?
: By votes. And how do you get votes? With people. Jim Jones
: could produce 3,000 people at a political event."
