Jim Jones

But it sounds a

bit like the Jim Jones, doesn't it? Remember the Guyana and the People's Temple?

I do.

It sounds very Jim Jones.

But the irony of this is I noticed Paul, Pastor Paul McKenzie...

He's in court.

Not doing as I do, but do as I say.

Yes.

This is so shocking, and it's so awful, and like...

It's weird to say things like at least Jim Jones had poison.

You know what I mean? Like Dan, like there's something particularly cruel to me about you have to starve to death.

It's awful.

And it's, it's shocking.

Yeah.

It's, it's really awful, but it's like, you know, um, I, it, it's people for whatever reason are susceptible to cults, right? You brought up Jim Jones, right? I mean, that was, that was a group from, uh, didn't they originate like in San Francisco or something like that? Or I don't in Northern California or something.

I can't remember exactly all the story of that one, but that one came out of, you know, this country.

You know, that cult's gone now.

So is the Jim Jones one and the David Koresh.

A lot of them are gone now.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I always think there's somebody at these cults that sits around and goes, maybe, no, I shouldn't say that.

They all, there were no kids involved in this one, right? Like Jim Jones was horrible.

I mean, that was brutal.

And I think it plays on people's just wounds, the kind of universal wound that we all share in this world of the wanting to be in control of pain and death, right?

I thought I heard on a podcast the other day, was Jim Jones New Thought? Was the cult leader Jim Jones, was he in that realm of New Thought?

Not that I'm aware of, but I do know who Jim Jones is, but I was never taught that he was affiliated with New Thought.

It's possible that he actually used some New Thought ideas in what he did, but I've never been taught that he officially was part of New Thought.

You can.

Even like Jim Jones.

It was something, they made it like there was some Jesus angle at the beginning or something before it turned full death cult communist.

But it's like, just because it says pastor something, I don't know what that, I don't know, I don't know what I have in common.

Kill this whole fucking world.

We should just all Jim Jones it because this isn't looking good.

So Meghan Markle's dad, Thomas Markle Sr., is being accused or alleged has sexual abuse allegations being tossed his way.

Yeah.

I think that maybe there had been reports of abuse of some kind.

And Jim Jones and his top people in the cult showed the congressman and the journalists around and were like, everything's great.

Don't worry about it.

And then they went back to the small airport there and were about to get on the plane and then were ambushed and shot and killed.

It's maybe juice.

It's not Kool-Aid, right? It's not or is it flavor made? I don't know, whatever Jim Jones gave.

But, you know, as a whole, I wouldn't mind if a lot of society stepped off with some Kool-Aid and just went that route.

I might offend
