Guyana and The Jim Jones Tragedy

Guyana is one of the 13 countries in South America. The official language is English, mostly Asians and blacks. The Guyana government is a republic and people have much power and they elect their own president. Guyana has tropical and humid climate and regional rainforest. In terms of economic activity, Guyana people make the most of their environment. Fishing vessels harvest large amounts of fish and shrimp from the ocean. In lowlands, farmers grow sugarcane and rice.

Jim Jones, the leader of the surname of James Warren Jones (May 13, 1931, born in Crete, near Crete, Lynn Indiana, November 18, 1978, Guyana, Joanstown) organization leader is Jungle Promised to followers to become utopia and declared America to be the savior of the People's Temple This is the evangelical group of San Francisco. He eventually lead to a massive suicide by his followers, killing over 900 people, later known as Jonestown Massacre (18th November 1978). When I was young, Jones became an ordinary believer, after graduating from Butler University, I decided to enter the undergraduate. In the 1950s and 1960s, in Indianapolis, Indiana, Jones gained a reputation as a charismatic priest who is a supporter of racial integration voice. And that is a position to confront several church elders. In 1955 he founded the Pentecostal church and was finally called People's Temple.

Guyana's Jonestown is one of the most painful tragedies in American history. On November 18, 1978, members of the temple of 909 people died of "revolutionary suicide" with the instruction of a fascinating cult leader, Jim Jones. Dead they contain more than 200 killed kids. An addiction attack in Jonestown took place at the Temple staff of the nearby Port Kaituma runway and killed five other people, including Rep. Leo Ryan. This is the largest large-scale suicide in modern history, American civilians lost most of their unnatural disasters until September 11, 2001.

On November 18, 1978, more than 900 members of Jim Jones and his People's Temple committed suicide on a large scale in Guyana's jungle. Since then, this case was grotesque in the American history, but occupied an awkward place. Jones' followers were imagined as innocent people with broad eyes, swallowing his evil teachings and his cyanide cool aid. Teri Buford O'Shea remembers very different things. When she joined People's Temple in Redwood Valley, California, Oshia was 19 years old. It was homeless when O'Shea in 1971, when a man pulled her in a van. He told her about the area in which he lives, that is, the place that no one needs to worry about food and dwelling. The leader is a foresighted person who is building a new future. O'Shea is glad to pick it up. After all, I believe that she can leave whenever people do not like the sanctuary.
