I'm just reporting it as I remember it from 1970something...I am certain about Bro. Urshan and the elders though...remember that verbatim because JJ's answer struck me so.

I will do some further investigating...FB's from that area...maybe she has some info for us...

Barb, you have the right to be wrong.....LOL!

I exercise that right all the time, myself!

There may if anything been a letter to JJ from the UPCI.

Much of what was talked about back in 1979 was hype.

He was not assocated with the UPCI...

The closest he came was the AG where in Indy he preached his first couple of sermons in the 50's...

Either way he was a bad seed.

What makes a man go to such extremes? I had heard he was oneness at one time. I was wondering of anyone here on this forum personally knew him and what led to his great downfall?

The Story of Jim Jones Paradise lost, Jonestown. Will be on the History channel at 7-9PM.

They did not "lay down side by side." Some were forced to drink of the Kool-aid.

The sad part about it there are other "churches" that are very seclusive...too many secerts...to many revelations...sad things like this happen over and over...

I know some were forced but I thought they then lined up in a row side by side. Whether they were forced or not wasnt what I was saying.

That is that mentality...follow the leader...
I fear for those who do not know the voice of the Lord for THEMSELVES..someone told me not long ago that they were too lazy to pray they would let the leader get all the answers...
While I do believe and everyone knows I do believe in obeying our pastor...we must have some common sense...I find it often missing...
