Jim Jones
FameRank: 8

"James Warren" ""Jim"" "Jones" was an American sect leader and community organizer. Jones was the founder and the leader of the Peoples Temple, best known for the murder-suicide/mass murder-suicide in November 1978 of 913 of its members in Jonestown, Guyana, and the murder of five individuals at a nearby airstrip, including Congressman Leo Ryan. Over 300 children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of them by cyanide poisoning. Jones died from a gunshot wound to the head; it is suspected his death was a suicide.

Jones was born in Indiana and started the Temple there in the 1950s. He later moved the Temple to California in the mid-1960s, and gained notoriety with the move of the Peoples Temple in San Francisco/Temple's headquarters to San Francisco in the early 1970s.

A lot of people are tired around here, but I'm not sure they're ready to lie down, stretch out and fall asleep.

She's as good a person as you're going to find.

To me death is not a fearful thing. It's living that's cursed.

We just came back from Walt Disney World. We participated in the 'Goofy Challenge'.

I don't think he even realizes his potential and he's having a lot of fun doing it.

He's always in the weight room lifting and he's quickly become a student of the game. He looks at tapes of the how to do the glide [delivery] and now we have a machine that he can practice. He's really improved.

There are other races we like to run, so we don't try to complete the whole series. But we like to get at least 10 Gold Cup races in.

He'll go back and forth between the two events. Basically, we're just using this indoor season to get him ready for the spring.

It really makes me feel sad because this bridge is the only post-truss in the world.
