hereby agree to join______________________________. I understand that my
life will change in the following ways. I know what I am getting into

Everything
that is right and good is due to the group's belief, the leader, or
the teachings.

By Jennie
Sharma
| "When you meet the
friendliest people you have ever known, who introduce you to the
most loving group of people you’ve ever encountered, and you
find the leader to be the most inspired, caring, compassionate
and understanding person you’ve ever met, and then you learn
that the cause of the group is something you never dared hope
could be accomplished, and all of this sounds too good to be
true, it probably is too good to be true! Don’t give up your
education, your hope and ambitions to follow a rainbow."
~ By Jeanne Mills, former
member of the Peoples Temple and subsequent victim of assassination
a year following the Nov. 18, 1978 Jonestown suicides/murders of
913 adults and children. |

which talks about the CIA being involved in Waco and Jonestown. Our readers can do
further research online concerning "Jim Jones being a CIA operative conducting
