Jones: <\/strong>God is love, is principle. The Greeks said it\u2019s principle. God is principle. Principle, Eros, of love, agape. God is a love<\/em> principle. Thus you can graduate<\/em> anything that has principle. This is\u2013 that\u2019s our\u2013 our assumption. No longer is it an assumption, but it\u2019s a belief. But God is no longer unpersonifiable or is abstract no longer. We believe that he has been uh, mastered. We believe that throughout the (unintelligible word) of God has been manifested to us. You understand this principle. It\u2019s most<\/em> important to understand the principle\u2013<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> \u2013that God is love. And that Jesus said what I am, so shall you be, and we know that Jesus<\/em> was God. He<\/em> mastered it. It wasn\u2019t to begin<\/em> with, \u2018cause it said that he was made perfect through suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> But God is a state of abstract perfection<\/em>. God doesn\u2019t have<\/em> to be made perfect, but Jesus became<\/em> God (Hebrews 5:8-9, \u201cThough he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;\u00a0And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him.\u201d).<\/span> That\u2019s the mystery. He said, what I am, so must you be. Of course, you say, I\u2019m go\u2013 judging by g\u00ad\u2013 literal scripture. Well, you can\u2019t do that, I\u2019ve clearly shown you in, The Letter That Killeth [The Letter Killeth<\/a>], our little booklet, I\u2019ve clearly shown to every<\/em> honest heart, that you cannot find inerrancy in the King James. Inerrancy, or lack of error, is not in<\/em> the King James version. It\u2019s quite evident that the King James version has errors. Now come on, I want to prepare Professor [Edith] Roller. So let\u2019s get our mind. We always have to do some renewal because we\u2019ll have people who uh, come in, uh, membership from time to time who\u2019ve not perhaps established this in their mind. Well, let\u2019s\u2013 let\u2019s think<\/em> about this, and get your minds on this. You, none of you know that much. I consider any follower who\u2019s not looking at me now, to be grossly<\/em> disobedient. In many ways, I can determine whether you are true and faithful to Christ. It\u2019s by your lack of willingness oftentimes to reverence the voice of the right idea. Now if God is a principle\u2013 that wasn\u2019t of course to people who had their backs to me, it\u2019s a little difficult, but it\u2019s good of you to turn your back, then none of us have excuse. I\u2019ve already borne record of you that did not, and I would like to have some reasonable<\/em> explanation why you do not listen to me, when it\u2019s so essential. You heard the testimony of the bus that capsized and was brought back. You sit and uh,. listen to people talk about people that were put on there by me in those buses, in a herculean and uh, miraculous way, and yet they did not find them until they got to the\u2013 the point of destination. You\u2019ve heard about brother Rick [Cordell] as the house was on fire or the stove had caught fire, and then they threw water and had the explosion, and then the child run, Brother Cordell had a child run and put the picture on that. And that moment\u2013 that very moment\u2013 uh, at that moment the\u2013 the\u2013 the flames stop. You heard<\/em> all those things. So you\u2013 you have<\/em> to get some coordination if you want this ideal to be effective<\/em> for you.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And so each one of you who weren\u2019t looking tonight, it reflects a disobedience<\/em>. Even if it was failure to concentrate. It\u2019s a disobedience that could<\/em> destroy your life that is presently still going on. You\u2019d\u2013 I never miss a face. You think I do. I can be looking there, and I\u2019m seeing here.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Don\u2019t think I miss anything. \u2018Cause if it\u2019s possible for uh\u2013 for me to uh, do these things which you see every, every week. The woman brought back from the dead with her eyes, we\u2019ll have a picture of her back there last weekend, that was so dead. If you don\u2019t believe, her eyes was set, look at the Mertles\u2019 [Deanna & Elmer Mertle] pictures. They caught the eyes that\u2013 I hope someone with a camera caught her when she was running around, but he certainly classically<\/em>caught her dead.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> She\u2019s dead as anything you\u2019d want to look at, and you saw her dance around. In fact of the matter, it might be good, uh, Brother Mertle, just to send those pictures through, and let them take a look at that\u2013 at that particular picture. There\u2019s three in a series. (Shushes audience) Crying out. I want to know uh, the reason for the disobedience of uh, people when so much depends upon understanding the ideal. And in order to get to the\u2013 the practicality of what God is, we have to get the mythology<\/em> of God, well explained to the satisfaction of all sincere people. That has to be done. And I have come to do that. By all of these miracles\u2013 by all of these miracles I\u2019ve work. By all of them. The uh\u2013 uh, all of the miracles that I\u2019ve worked. It\u2019s uh\u2013 (pause) (Short laugh) Did you notice anything there?<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Yeah.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Someone\u2013 Laurie Efrein\u2019s purse, I think. And Philip has been\u2013 been mistakenly, uh thought that he might\u2019ve taken it. I did not suggest so. But there it is.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Applause<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Anyway\u2013 anyway.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> I\u2019m settin\u2019 right here where I can see\u2013 (fades out)<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I\u2019m singing out of this book. She said all that she\u2013 her test\u2013 testimony was that all I had in my hand was this book that I was singing out of, and so I have to use this uh, office, and there\u2019s paranormal and uh, charismatic extradimensional faculties to establish clearly<\/em> that I know all about the mythological god. Because in order to get people beyond the mythological god, someone has to clearly establish that he is in contact to the fullest<\/em> degree with<\/em> the supernatural god, or the superstitious god, or the uh, credulous god. Whatever one wants to say about it. So I think that I have clearly shown that I have ascended into the uppermost realms of the heavenlies, in that I have dematerialized<\/em>, and that is a literal<\/em> truth.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Dematerialized<\/em>, that\u2019s a literal truth.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I don\u2019t think some of you realize just how literal it is. All you in the staff, you\u2013 you need to get cognizant<\/em> of the fact that I have done everything that has been spoken of\u2013 uh, that the academics\u2013 \u2018Cause Carol Stahl can verify that I dematerialize. She\u2019s the one that can really do it more effectively. And Carolyn Layton, and uh, Ri\u2013 Richmond Stahl,because I did\u2013 I have, and I can when I choose as I have on these occasions. And I sound like I need to, but it\u2019s time now that we do away from the mythological concern, because I have clearly proven that I know what I\u2019m speaking about.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I have ascended into the third heavens, of which there are too many mysterious and marvelous things that I cannot speak of (2 Corinthians 12:2-4).<\/span> I have descended into hell, so literally as it was said of old, God\u2019s gone gone to hell and come back. \u2018Cause I have gone<\/em> to hell numerous times on numerous occasions, into the worth hellish conditions to deliver\u2013 deliver people from their bondage.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And I wish you\u2019d get the idea across again. Jesus was not<\/em> God. He became God. That\u2019s the mystery. He was<\/em> not God. For God is not<\/em>. God is a spirit. God is a principle, spiritual, it\u2019s principle, Eros, agape. He is a principle<\/em>. There is no person in the sense that we have considered God to be, an anthropologic being in the outreaches of space. God is a principle, just as inculcable, just as incarnatable as mathematics. Now this is what we\u2013 you could understand the mystery of Jim Jones being God personified, if we understood what we were talking about, then the fundamentalists wouldn\u2019t get so turned off, because God is as reincarnatable today, as he was in the days of Jesus. Not only that, but when a virtuoso in music comes along and demonstrates, it makes it easier for someone else to go beyond<\/em> that realm of demonstration in the field of music<\/em>. When a mathematician comes along and masters mathematics of one<\/em> century, it\u2019s easier for someone else then to come and build upon that and go to higher heights.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> So Jesus said, these things shall you do and greater<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> So that clearly understand that we\u2019re having to wait for the same uh, incarnation, but the Bib\u2013 but he said, these things shall you do and greater, because I go to the Father (John 14:12, \u201cVerily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Now if God<\/em> is love, that it\u2019s a mathematical ideal or a principle, and that principle can be concentrated upon, studied, until one graduates fully<\/em>. You can stop at the sophomore year, and be a sophomore if you wish, or a junior, or you can end up in the elementary level, or you can get a master\u2019s<\/em> degree. Masters of God. Or you can get a philosophical uh, doctorate of philosophy. You could become the ultimate degree, a PhD of God. You can graduate in the finality. (Diverts attention) Uh, you got something interesting, do you, sisters over here? More interesting than the one that will save your life, that no one that can until you come into what I have. What are you looking for? Are you looking for something strange or elusive? I am real. I\u2019m as real as the breath you breathe, and the heartbeat that\u2019s in your chest.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Calls.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And until you aspire to my noble ambition and demonstration, until you attain to that, you had better listen attentively, because it\u2019s like you being out in blind man\u2019s bluff or being out in a chaotic sea of turbulent destruction. You\u2019re on the sea of distress and the master of omnipotency. The generals who have your salvation is here, even now exuding the energy that caused that bus to be found, exuding the energy that caused the woman with all of her money to be found, because I possess the thought before it happened. Nothing is new to me. I know what she\u2019s going to speak before she spoke it.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Oh yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I\u2019m fully<\/em> familiar with it, because I\u2019ve been<\/em> there, and certainly we have the vivid proof of the picture. And then if you look clearly, you look in my face, you can see that I know all<\/em> about God. When I go with that dead woman, as I do, you look at that picture, you can tell that I know all about the supra paranormal, the supernatural, the miraculous. I am fully in attunement and identification and at one<\/em> with the spirit that you call God.<\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation:<\/strong> All right. That\u2019s all right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I\u2019d\u2013 clearly evidence, if you look at that picture. There\u2019s no distress in my face.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I have more distress with some of these poses, which I don\u2019t like to, because, you see, I recognize any principle. I know I have principle bearer, but I\u2013 they like for people to get caught up with the bearer and miss the principle, so I don\u2019t pose very well for pictures. But in the picture there, you won\u2019t see any distress. You will see the precision of a surgeon going at an operation that he\u2019s performed a million times. I might graze by you tonight and you look at the picture of that dead woman, you will see in me someone that knows what he is doing. So you had better listen to me, the divine spirit that is personified here, when we get down to what is that spirit.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> The great physician (unintelligible word) is here, we said. Certainly not, not in the middle of my conversation. The great physician now is here to sympathizing, socialist. (Pause) \u2018Cause God has no meaning whatsoever, unless you understand what he is.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> If God is love, that\u2019s if the\u2013 What kind of love? The love of the earth, the love (unintelligible word), the love of the body, it\u2019s what I\u2019ve seen (unintelligible word) come out of the elements of the love-making in the physical, it certainly wouldn\u2019t be a very high attainment. What is his love? And what does love mean? God is love. You tell me some (unintelligible word) word meaning perfect equality. In the original, it comes from a word meaning perfect<\/em> equality. Well, what brings perfect equality? A system. A system that guarantees that there\u2019ll be perfect equality. You can\u2019t have perfect quality\u2013 uh, equality by merely hoping<\/em> it to be. That\u2019s hopium [hoping and opium]. Just like an opium<\/em> addiction, some of you have a hopium. You got an ever\u2013 ever projection of the realms and beyond, but you\u2019ve got to have a practical understanding of God. God is love. Then what brings perfect love? Socialism.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Apostolic socialism as it was. Every time that a little Spirit descended in the New Testament, they sold their<\/em>possessions (Acts 2:44-45, \u201cAnd all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.\u201d)<\/span> \u2013 that was a first<\/em> step \u2013 baptize in the name of Jesus Christ. (Voice climbs throughout) Signifying death itself, death to capitalism, death\u2013 breath to the profit motive seeking, death to cultural seeking, death to sto\u2013 to status quoism, death to uh, socio-economic positions, death to the class structure, death to racism, death to possessions, death to materialism, death to capitalism.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yeah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Baptism in Jesus name, death to self\u2013<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And resurrection to love. And you cannot have a nebulous love. That\u2019s why the church is on such a shaky road today. They have no course.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You\u2019ve got to define<\/em> that love, and that love can only be defined by the divinity<\/em> of socialism. When God is socialism, God is love. Love is socialism. Socialism means that all<\/em> the means of the production that man has, the earth, the air, the water ways, the resources are owned by the same people, the family of man, the family of God. There\u2019s only one<\/em> source of ownership, love. That no one can privately own the air, no one can privately own the land, it must be held in common. So then that is love, that is God, socialism. No matter how many people have failed by naming it other things, fascism, communism, that matters not, because always there\u2019ll be a fault. And there\u2019ll be propaganda against the real.<\/p>\n

Woman<\/strong> in<\/strong> Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And there\u2019s always a close kindredship of the unreal to the real. No matter how many failures have been made, that which has produced the highest self today in the world has been socialism. The greatest souls that you know in the earth picture. [Albert] Einstein, socialist. George Bernard Shaw, socialist. I\u2019m talking about humanitarians. The great uh, sensitive artist Pablo and uh, what is it, the, the\u2013<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Picasso.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Caslow, uh, Caslow uh, Pablom, uh, Casals. Uh, all of the most sensitive refined superegos. [Karl] Menninger, who wrote us a major institute. An old time socialist. The early spirits of labor. There\u2019s none like Eugene V. Debs, to love, to care, to share. He went to prison so many times for his people. The greatest spirits have come out of socialism. I\u2013 I can\u2019t think of one. And even the world admits that the greatest are there. Norman Cousins has made most of the political things we have today. Social Security, a socialist. Norman Cousins, a founder of socialism in America. Most everything that he produced was robbed by the establishment. Built for him, modified, but still there. We are the first to uh, you know\u2013 and that to the country, is the first to admit you have to have some form of socialism, which unfortunately, is socialism for the rich<\/em>. I was very chagrined that Mr. [George] Wallace is uh, as I\u2019m going to tell you, I predicted that. More than that, there\u2019s another factor in it-<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> All right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Uh, I was speaking to Karen that day, earlier in the morning, and I became aware of it and I said something about a block having to be removed<\/em>. And I shan\u2019t\u2013 shan\u2019t go into that particular faculty in my power, and I\u2019ve been speaking of this necessity of the removal, and I said uh, we\u2019re\u2013 hopefully not by violence, but if violence came, (Pause) it wouldn\u2019t take his life, but it would be necessary to incapacitate<\/em>, that he might learn for a time at least. That he might learn<\/em>. And he<\/em>is incapacitated, and we\u2019re not s\u2013 not at all s\u2013 heartened by this. We\u2019re saddened by that. We\u2019re saddened that the man Wallace last week was saying, we don\u2019t want any control on handguns. We want no control on weapons. And that there\u2019s 30 million of these weapons loose is this country. Thirty million handguns. And as I said, we were and\u2013 90 million\u2013 90 million\u2013 30 million of the smaller miniature typed guns. And he says, he doesn\u2019t want any\u2013 any controls on them. Well, now, maybe since they\u2019ve shot someone of the right\u2013 the right wing, I\u2019m talking. Maybe now that some of these gun lobbyists won\u2019t have as much pull. Because there\u2019re just too many weapons, and 60\u2013 70% of all crimes of violence involve a handgun. (Pause) But I thought that when I saw the president [Richard Nixon] saying, anything we have, Mr. Wallace, is yours. And I see the intensive wards. (Attention diverted) I\u2019m watching those who do not pay attention. Though I\u2019m looking there, I\u2019m watching there. (Pause) (Back to congregation) Mr. Wallace has the entire floor of the intensive ward. Do you know what an intensive ward is? That\u2019s where the dangerous cases have to go.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And I thought that\u2019s\u2013 what? That\u2019s nice. We want Mr. Wallace to have intensive care, but Mr. Wallace should not be guaranteed the seventh floor, until every American is guaranteed the seventh floor when he\u2019s in trouble.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Applause and cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Mr. Nixon comes on and says, we will give you a hospital plane. We\u2019ll take you to the best<\/em> doctors, we\u2019ll give you the best<\/em> of hospitals. We\u2013 anything you wish, any hospital you wish to be in. I didn\u2019t appreciate that at all. Until Mr. Nixon tells me that every little white child in poor Appalachia, or every black child in Watts or Hunters Point, and every Indian child in the reservation is guaranteeing such care, (Enunciates each word) I say he is speaking wrong things.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers and applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> He doesn\u2019t touch<\/em> me. These politicians looking after each other\u2019s hide, does not touch me. There\u2019s only one kind (unintelligible, sounds like \u201cthat see\u201d), that\u2019s God\u2019s spirit. This mathematic principle that I am inculcating. Only time it could ever equalize is at death or with their own virus that they\u2019ve supported to use against the poor, finally the chickens come home to roost.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers and applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> What you live by, (pause) you will die by. If you live by the sword, you\u2019ll die by the sword (Matthew 26:52, \u201cThen said Jesus unto him, \u2018Put up again thy sword into his place: for\u00a0all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword<\/em>\u2019).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Some of us know well who are the members of the Gospel of Peace, fulls expect to die by the sword makers too.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Oh yeah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> We\u2019re fully aware that we can be the victims of their malicious crimes. But now and then there\u2019s one thing about divine socialism, the mathematics of principle. There\u2019s one good comforting fact of this divinity which I am whatsoever I am. Whatsoever you say I am. Whether you say I ascended from heaven or descended from hell, it matters not, I am the power that saves you from your transgressions (Hebrews 9:15, \u201che is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance.\u201d),<\/span> delivers you out of your problems, heals you when you were sick, broke the bondages that were on you that no one could break, took you in when you were a stranger (Matthew 25: 35-46),<\/span> adopted the babies when there was no place for them to go. Whatsoever you say I am, I am that I am, and I shall fulfull my work (Exodus 3:14, \u201cAnd God said unto Moses,\u00a0I Am That I Am: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel,\u00a0I Am hath sent me unto you.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Saith God. I enshroud myself in a mystery<\/em>, saith God, only that for the purpose of those who are in a lesser plane, who need that, a comfort<\/em> of the old<\/em> superstitions, but to those that are my friends, I will tell you (unintelligible word), though not a word, I am he which was and is to come, and beside me, there is no other in this continent today.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I am the inculcation of all<\/em> that you held to be abstract. I am all that you held to be mythological and more. I have more power than that shadow of a God that you once had. I have it in my finger<\/em>. I can command the waves and the winds to be still if I choose<\/em>, saith God (Psalm 107:25, \u201cFor he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (Voice calms) So it\u2019s nothing to materialize a purse or to find money or to be able to recall the elements.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> This is nothing of that which could be<\/em> done, if you<\/em> would get your minds and attentions, your love and your devotion centered on that which I am.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Socialism.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> If you\u2019d concentrate on what I am, you\u2019d have more power, more dynamics. The dynamism of this spirit<\/em> would meet<\/em> you and would solve<\/em> your every problem.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (voice rises) Would eliminate<\/em> your sorrows, would wipe away the tears from your eyes, would heal every disease, and finally, as only I have proven can be done these five years, stop death in its tracks. Who have you known? Who have you known in all your history, but something you read about and the book is incorrect. The book is full of errors, so you don\u2019t even know that happened, unless someone comes along and proves<\/em> that mathematics worked. They used to talk about atomic energy, but you didn\u2019t know it worked until someone set off an atomic bomb out in the deserts. You used to hear of electricity, but you didn\u2019t know it was a reality until someone brought the poles together. You did not recognize these forces as theory that could only just be some hogwash or head knowledge. That\u2019s the way it is with religion. It could be a lot of head knowledge, particularly when, as I prove here, you can\u2019t even get a fact straight<\/em> about uh, the precious Nazareth consciousness. The precious Jesus consciousness. You don\u2019t even know who his grandfather is (Matthew 1:1-16, contrasted with Luke 3:23-24). You don\u2019t know where he ascended to (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9,12; Matt 28:16-20; Mark 16:14,19). You don\u2019t whether he went to Egypt or whether he didn\u2019t, whether he stayed in Jerusalem. One writer says he stayed with his parents and kept the feast<\/em> of the Passover every year (Matthew 2 contrasted with Luke 2:41, \u201cNow his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover.\u201d). You don\u2019t know whether he died with one thief converted, or whether they were both scolding him and rebuking him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s the truth.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> One scripture says the thieves railed on him, another scripture says one of the thieves. Well, the reality was one\u00a0<\/em>did. The other said\u2013 rebuke to the one that did.<\/span> Because I remember the spirit, you see, I know. I\u2019m the\u2013 the eternal spirit. I know. I can collect on that in the precognitive. I go back into the pre-existence and collect on that, and I can see the visible image as he looked across from that\u2013 that uh, T-shaped tree. It wasn\u2019t a cross like you have it, but I can look<\/em> at that T-shaped tree, and I can hear him rebuking him. And I said, this<\/em> day I\u2019m gonna take you on the other side, and we will commune together. Just as we are here, we shall be there. I didn\u2019t say this day you\u2019ll be in paradise, because you don\u2019t<\/em> go from there to paradise. You go into a uh\u2013 the first heaven, and that\u2019s not paradise, but I said (voice rises) this day\u2013<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (Voice lowers) We\u2019ll start over on the other side, we\u2019ll communicate, and we\u2019ll continue our perfection on the other side. So that\u2019s what really happened (Matthew 27:38-44, contrasted with Luke 23:39-43).<\/span> You say, why do you speak with such authority. I speak with such authority because I have right\u2013 reached the realm of honesty, purity of thought, compassion and love, the personification of everything that is real, genuine and pure and honest and kind and loving. I have mastered God, I have my PhD in God. I have outdone all the degrees in this (unintelligible word) God. I have concentrated God in this body. God is no longer a superstition, but God is real, real, real.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> My body was once flesh of your flesh and dust of the earth and the cheapest<\/em> of mortality, but I took<\/em> that, and heard of the mathematics called God. And I heard what I had said in former days. Though being in the form of man, though as Jesus was being in the form of a servant, he considered it\u2013 he was a servant too<\/em>. And I heard him say, though I was a slave, though I was in the form of slavery, though I was in the form of a servanthood, I considered it not robbery to be equal with God (Philippians 2:6-7, \u201cWho, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:\u201d).<\/span> And I looked<\/em> at that principle and found<\/em> that mathematics, and I recognized that I had lost my inheritance in mortality. My father and mother were not<\/em> my father and mother. My Ku Klux Klan father was not my<\/em> father. I recognized that my father was infinite spirit<\/em>, that my whole creation, my whole causation had come from divine socialism. And I looked up from that poor bed by the railroad tracks, and I decided mastering in the spirit. And I mastered materially<\/em>, and I said to myself with a bursted appendix when I was nothing more than ten years of age. I said, I am God.<\/em> And I walked out of my bed healed, and I have been considering<\/em> that revelation ever since, and now<\/em> I have perfected it.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> There\u2019s no longer any chance for me to do evil. It\u2019s gone from me. That\u2019s the mystery you don\u2019t understand. I could not<\/em> sin. I am so born of God (1 John 3:9, \u201cWhosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.\u201d).<\/span> It\u2019s nothing that anyone else cannot implant in their consciousness. If you will take time to learn of someone who has reached into<\/em> that realm, and that uh, has got into the coffers of divine knowledge. If you\u2019ll just follow<\/em> this principle, it\u2019s appropriable to you<\/em>. It\u2019s appropriative to anyone that wants to follow, but some people think they\u2019re going to jump in easy. I\u2019ve been doing this for many days\u2013<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Oh yeah!<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> \u2013many years. I\u2019ve been specializing. I said I have been specializing<\/em> in God Almighty.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Scattered cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And as I specializing at that young age, and I considered no other father but divine science, divine socialism, divine love, uh, humanitarian love, and as I say, love, God is socialism. So I say, thank<\/em> socialism. God is<\/em> love. Socialism is<\/em> god. And I specialize and I specialize.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> And I worked it out of my body, the realms of mortal memory. I went down memory lane, and I had reeled long enough in the realms of mortality. I had reeled long enough under the influences of what I was supposed<\/em> to be. I heard the revolutionary voice within me that I am the light that lighteth every man that cometh into the world (John 1:9, \u201cThat was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.\u201d See also, Matthew 5:14, John 3:19, John 8:12, John 9:5, John 11:9, and John 12:46).<\/span> I kept hearing it in the trees. I kept hearing it in the birds, that picture that my mother has when I was just knee high to a grasshopper, three years of age, leading a billy goat and wild animals of all sorts, and crow on my shoulder, and uh, an owl in my hand, and a snake crawling right behind me. I looked at all these animals in procession. Even as a child, I had a kindredship. So it started early, it started in a former life. As John the Baptist\u2013 as it said with John the Baptist, he was Elias which was and is to come (Matthew 11, esp. Matthew 11:14, \u201cAnd if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.\u201d).<\/span> So don\u2019t think you can get there overnight, but it is attainable<\/em>. You must<\/em> be born again. And the beauty of it is, my\u2013 my precious comrades, you will<\/em> be born again. You shall<\/em> be born again (John 3:3-7). And if you are born<\/em> of God completely, if you graduate fully<\/em> of the substance and processes of divine science, socialism, God, if you fully get God in you, you will not commit sin. He that is born of God doth not commit sin (1 John 3:9).<\/span><\/p>\n

Voices in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> So there\u2019s no evil in me. I couldn\u2019t do evil if I would want<\/em> to. It\u2019s gone<\/em>. I have no desire. The desire<\/em> is gone.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Yes, that\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Say, what is it that, that I\u2013 You\u2019re saying you\u2019re not able to make mistakes? We\u2019re talking about [an] entirely different realm now, we\u2019re talking about purity<\/em> of consciousness. God is a purity of consciousness. That\u2019s not inerrant judgment, that\u2019s not inerrant moral or mortal judgment, it is a morality of the pro\u2013 most ultimate<\/em> nature. It is a perfection<\/em>in morality, a perfection in ethics. There is no<\/em> danger of me doing anything immoral.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> To your<\/em> standards, it might be immoral, but it will be the most moral<\/em>, the most altruistic that you could hope for. Anything I do is divinely good. And if you have a mind to know the spirit, you will know what I do is divinely true and divinely real.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Hallelujah.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to be uh, a vain theorist to get that either. You can just look around, and watch the inner workings and the outer picturing, and you will see clearly that I am the ultimate of honesty uh, that you\u2019ve seen. You say, are\u2013 you mean to say, you\u2019re the most honest person in America? Indeed.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I should be now being elected the president of the United States.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers and applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (whispering in mic) Hmm? I didn\u2019t\u2013 I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know. Let me know. (back to congregation) Not to mention, I\u2019m\u2013 you see, I\u2019m not using my supra natural power, although I have more of that than any of your so-called healers. I\u2019ve got more than any faker that ever claimed power or any so-called mystic. I have more in my hand than anyone you met, because you don\u2019t know anyone in your day that can materialize things as I did the briefcase, right before your eyes. You\u2019ve not met anyone who can go through a wall, but I can. It\u2019s not easy<\/em>, but I can do it. You\u2019ve not met anyone that can turn water\u2013 as Eva Pugh said, there\u2019s someone in Canada that wants us to bring\u2013 those white people, if they want to send\u2013 they\u2019ve got 60 people already, want to be brought on a bus. She said I sent 11 pitchers of water, and said, finally I said I\u2019m tired of sending any more water, he only turns it to wine. What Sister Pugh said to this man, said I sent 11 pitchers of water or 10 pitchers of water, and every one I turn and send up there, he turns it to wine. So they don\u2019t need for me to send any more water. Uh, this was her joking way of getting the message across. But you don\u2019t know anybody [who] can do that (John 2:1-11).<\/span> But I don\u2019t establish myself by those things. You notice<\/em> I never establish myself by those things. I establish myself because of being pure love, pure justice, the purest of honesty in a practical way. Not some kind of impractical thing. And they say, well, the anointing is on him. He heals the sick. That isn\u2019t worth a tinker\u2019s to me, if it isn\u2019t backed up by character. (Unintelligible word) impeachable<\/em>\u2013 it\u2019s the impeccable<\/em> character, purity<\/em> of character. There\u2019s not a\u2013 not a flaw<\/em> in the character. That\u2019s what\u2019s important. It\u2019s not the polish, it\u2019s not the dynamics, it\u2019s not the singing, it\u2019s not the s\u2013 uh, the sermonizing, it\u2019s not grammar, it\u2019s character<\/em>. That\u2019s what God is. (Emphasizes each word) God is a spirit. God is love. Spirit\u2019s too\u2013 too abstract a word. And it isn\u2019t the original word anyway. The closest thing to the original scripture is, God is love (1 John 4:16, \u201cAnd we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.\u201d).<\/span> And King James, as deadly a king as he was, drunk as he was, and he was a mean king. King of England 1611, he was mean. History will show you how mean<\/em> a man he was. The same ships to Africa to put people in chains, and to throw little babies that couldn\u2019t make the journey to the rocks below, as the King of England did, under the orders of the King of England. And throw pregnant mothers to the shark. And then you\u2019ve got the nerve to tell me that such a king can tell you what God had to say. He wouldn\u2019t know God from a wind in a breeze.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> You know the old timers, that shows the ancient of days, when they\u2013 when you make wind, you understand what I\u2019m talking about. If you\u2019re an old timer, you\u2019ll know that. You\u2013 you youngsters have another word I don\u2019t like so well, but make wind. Some people wouldn\u2019t know God from making wind, and King James couldn\u2019t tell God from making wind. And he doesn\u2019t. He cannot get it. (Unintelligible word) can get it. He\u2019s got things in there that are incorrect. Slaves, servants, obey your masters. That went out (voice rises) long before the dispensation of the Apostolic Age. That was not in the original Scripture \u2013 slaves, obey your masters \u00a0(Ephesians 6:5, \u201cServants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.\u201d) \u2013 said it was not there. Just to servants, obey your masters, obey those that have rule over you (Hebrews 13:17, \u201cObey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.\u201d).<\/span> They wanted to encourage serfdom and slavery, and they did. Racism in America was encouraged by such damnable things as that.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Murmurs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> The history\u2019s inaccurate. So then why wouldn\u2019t you take someone that comes along, and that\u2019s the only thing that keeps you from accepting truth, is your Bible stands in your way, which is in error. If it were not in error, than you could stand on it, but honey, you can\u2019t stand on anything. There\u2019s not a page you go, that you don\u2019t find an error. There\u2019s truth there, but who pointed you to the truth? Did you ever know the truth of socialism? And all that believed were together and had all things common, sold their possessions and goods, parted them to all men as every man had need (Acts 2:44-45).<\/span> Divine economic social racial inclusiveness, total equality, total economic, social and racial equality. (Firmly states) Total socialism. (Voice rises) Anybody every preach that to you?<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> No. Preachers wouldn\u2019t have Cadillacs, they preach that to you. They\u2019d have to go around in the same used clothes, if they preach that. They would not be able to have big cathedrals and preach that. The truths were there, but you wouldn\u2019t have gotten the truths, you would\u2019ve gotten something like\u2013 (Clears throat) I hate to go through this every time. Maybe we\u2019ll get all memberships at one point in one time. Or that sermon might be reusable if we keep it, to go over it at another\u2013 another time, if it has to be. (Pause) Well, let\u2019s look here. As I said, there\u2019s some great truths out there, but you needed a honest spirit to bring you the truth. Healing\u2019s there, but there\u2019s also cursing. Cursing of the little children. How are you to know what\u2019s right? Remember Elisha? (pause) The bald headed Elisha, the prophet? (pause) Some children mused at him having a bald head. Children muse at me all the time.<\/span> I think it\u2019s fun. Someone joked at me today something, I don\u2019t know what it was, and I never said a word. It was really inappropriate, they were in the presence of someone else, but I didn\u2019t think anything about it. \u2018Cause I thought if I\u2013 if I can\u2019t stand on my own merit, even though followers would try to undermine you sometimes unconsciously, if you can\u2019t stand on your own merits, why get excited? No use of getting excited over someone making a little uh\u2013 and this wasn\u2019t amusement<\/em>, this was a kind of a cut<\/em>, but Elisha just had little kids. Little baby children came up to him and made fun<\/em> of him. because he had a bald head. They\u2013 They didn\u2019t make fun, they said they joked, and it said God was incensed because the children did this. Now, how ridiculous. God or Elisha then ordered she-bears to come out of the wilderness, the woods, and to destroy all<\/em> those forty children. (pause) (Short laugh) Why, you wouldn\u2019t go across the street to worship a God like that (2 Kings 2:23-24, \u201cand as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> No.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> God\u2013 the God you<\/em> know didn\u2019t do that. That\u2019s the God of the King James that\u2019s carried up some of these old myths that are inaccurate. Isn\u2019t no God did such a thing as this. But there\u2019re great truths also. Elias has already come. You knew him not. Reincarnation. You can\u2019t understand anything about divine law, unless you understand reincarnation. God personified in a body. Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, for he\u2019d seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. He wrestled all night with him at Peniel. Genesis 32:30 (32:24-30). Exodus 24, then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu. And suddenly the Elders of Israel, and they saw the God. Not heard<\/em>, but saw the God of Israel (Exodus 24:9-11, \u201cThen went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.\u201d).\u00a0<\/span>See, God always<\/em> had a body. Beautiful truth. To see that that\u00ad\u2013 the perfection that you have held in escrow, the perfection that you\u2019ve held out unattainable, that the preachers have dangled in front of your face, saying give me your money so I can drive in my Cadillac, that perfection that\u2019s been held out of your reach, has (stretches out word) always been attainable, is always earth-present. He said he will always have a body, always had and always will. (preaching mode) Lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. (Matthew 28:20, \u201clo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.\u201d)<\/span> I\u2013 not it, I<\/em>\u2013 the same God that was at Moses\u2019 day, the same God that walked and talked with Solomon, the same God that he said\u2013 Solomon said why, his hair is as black as the raven (Song of Solomon 5:11, \u201cHis head is as the most fine gold, his locks are bushy, and black as a raven.\u201d). And Isaiah 7:20, you have shave with a razor (Isaiah 7:20, \u201cIn the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, namely, by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> The same God that wrestled in human form with Jacob all night <\/em>(Genesis 32:24-30). The same God that some murderous king, Kebur\u2013 Nebuchadnezzar 567 years before Christ, 567, looked in a fiery furnace even though he persecuted<\/em> the Jews. He looked<\/em> in the fiery furnace, and there he not only saw Eshack [Shadrach], Meshach and Abednego, but he saw Jesus Christ, God Almighty, in a body<\/em> (Daniel 3, esp. Daniel 3:25, \u201cHe answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (Voice climbs throughout) If a heathen king could see more than you, the children of promise, you will sacrifice, you\u2019ve been loving in the pursuit of divine mind, that\u2019s just come along with me in this battle for truth, if a dirty king could see more than you, what kind of equality would there be in the universe? But I\u2019m glad he\u2019s no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34, \u201cThen Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:\u201d),<\/span> the same god that Nebuchadnezzar saw will be foreseeable and visible in every day and every year. He\u2019s always had a body, he always will have a body. I am his body in this continent today. (cries out) God<\/em> personified.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Cheers and applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> I\u2019ve said it for twenty-some years publicly, and for thirty-some years privately, and I\u2019m still living, for you that are afraid I\u2019m going to die. (Pause) Great truths. Great, great truths. Manoah and his wife saw him (Judges 13)<\/span> and all the prophetesses and prophets. But the errors there, there are many. (Pause) You don\u2019t know your right hand from your left without a prophet. That\u2019s why he said how can you hear without a prophet. Or a preacher, how can he preach lest he be sent (Romans 10:14-17: \u201cHow then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? \u2026 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.\u201d).<\/span> For it is written in Se\u2013 1 Chronicles 21:1, Satan stood up against Israel and provoked David to number Israel\u00a0 (1 Chronicles 21:1, \u201cAnd Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel.\u201d). 2 Samuel 24:1 talks about the same event, but tells it differently. \u201cAnd again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, go number Israel and Judah.\u201d (2 Samuel 24:1, \u201cAnd again the anger of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.\u201d)<\/span> Here it was supposed to be David<\/em> numbering Israel and God\u2019s ordering it, and up there it was Satan in the first chapter. Now what is\u2013 is it, Satan and God the same thing? Well, they must\u2013 something to be considered there. Please get<\/em> this, (likely holding up The Letter Killeth<\/em>) \u2018cause you can\u2019t get her message until you get this. No use, no way trying, you can\u2019t get it until you do. (Pause) Myth. Abraham had only one son, Abraham had two sons. Hebrews 11:17. By faith Abraham offered up Isaac, his only begotten son (\u201cBy faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,\u201d). Galatians 4:22. For it is written that Abraham had two<\/em> sons (\u201cFor it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.\u201d).<\/span> No, he didn\u2019t, he had a concubine. Couldn\u2019t\u2019ve had two sons, not by Hebrew customs. He couldn\u2019t have had two sons. Now what did he do? But was Keturah his wife or his concubine. Do you really know? I just take one subject at a hand. You don\u2019t know a thing<\/em>. Genesis 25 says, then Abraham took a wife and her name was Keturah. K-E-T-U-R-A-H (Genesis 25:1, \u201cThen again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah.\u201d). But 1 Chronicles 1:32 decidedly says Keturah, Abrahams\u2019 concubine<\/em> (1 Chronicles 1:32, \u201cNow the sons of Keturah, Abraham’s concubine\u201d).\u00a0<\/span>(pause) So I don\u2019t know why you object to hearing someone that has character. Then when he proves<\/em> supernatural power to heal the sick, done nothing but purity with his gift. I\u2019ve healed more people by this personification of my divine graduation in mathematical formulas of God\u2019s nature, in this divine science as a graduate, as a PhD in God. I have done more good than all<\/em> people put together here have done with their lives. There\u2019s no healer in America or in the continents today that has been able to do as much in the supra-natural, in the para-psychological, in the paranormal, in the extra-dimensional, in the miraculous, no one has begun<\/em> to do what I\u2019ve done. But no one, no one has begun to attain to the love to adopt eight babies, to keep on taking in children, to feel concern for every person that comes in, a concern that treats everyone alike.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Murmurs of assent.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> That has no fear or favor of position. Will not allow someone to come in and push them around because of their money. Who gives no particular respect for anyone, only for the love. If he sees loving you, he accepts you, but if you come in with a master\u2019s degree in the world, or come from the richest family, if you don\u2019t come through that door with love, I don\u2019t give you any attention. If you come through that door with love, you can be a concubine\u2019s son, and I will treat<\/em> you as a king, because love is what I want to see, divine love. God is love, and I am that spirit.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Scattered applause.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> Love. (pause) So if you then\u2013 the only<\/em> way you have\u2013 to argument you went against me is by your religion. And even your religion preaches socialism. It\u2019s the high point of every time the Holy<\/em> Spirit came into the believer. Every time the Holy Ghost came, they sold their possessions (Acts 2:44-45),<\/span> and it was the only time that someone was struck<\/em> dead, when they kept back some for themselves. And Ananias and Sapphira dropped dead (Acts 5:1-1<\/span>0), just as the two dropped dead, the three here and were restored. (Pause) Only<\/em> because they withheld. In that<\/em> day, uh, no one restored them. They dropped dead, but nobody brought them back. (Pause) Something to consider. Now when we say introduction to socialism, I haven\u2019t got any time for that, you don\u2019t then say, that denies what you\u2019re saying. You have no<\/em> time for God.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Murmurs of assent.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> For God is socialism. That\u2019s why they\u2019ve lied to you, that\u2019s why they bombard you with their evil. Every little movie. Little boys were looking at something\u2013 Stephan [Jones] and his, uh, uh\u2013 his friend Michelle. They were looking at a movie, and I was resting, I didn\u2019t go to bed last night, I was resting on the davenport. And I said, I want you to remember the influences of Adamic man, capitalist man. Capitalism is the devil. If you want to call something devilish, it\u2019s possessiveness of things. The right to have<\/em> things, to compete for things. They were talking about this uh, the teacher today was speaking about this uh, [Arthur] Bremer that murdered uh, or assassinated\u2013 attempted to assassinate Mr. Wallace. They said he was a (emphasis) good student. He wasn\u2019t aggressive, only on sports<\/em>, highly competitive in football, highly competitive in sports. He was aggressive in there\u2013 there, but he said he really<\/em> wasn\u2019t aggressive. The fools, there\u2013 that\u2019s the very indication of the repression of this young man. He was<\/em> aggressive, he was capitalistic, sports make people aggressive. You\u2019ve gotta win, you gotta win, you beat down someone, you don\u2019t cooperate. American sports is not cooperation, it\u2019s competition. And this teacher was talking about how competitive it was, as a virtue, on the news tonight. He was a very competitive<\/em> student. That\u2019s what makes murderers<\/em>. Com\u2013 Competition finally ends up ultimately in killing<\/em> your brother.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> (voice rose) Cain killed Abel because he was a competitor<\/em>. It always is capitalism that causes murder. It may start out as a little innocuous thing, but finally<\/em> it\u2019ll end up causing you to murder your brother to get what he has. You\u2019ll want to get what he has and you\u2019ll cut his throat, knife him in the back, push him down, walk over him, but finally capitalism is the devil personified. It\u2019s murder incorporated. And that\u2019s what led Ca\u2013 Cain to kill Abel on that awful<\/em> morning. He wanted what his brother had (Genesis 4:1-8).<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> He wanted that\u2013 that\u2013 that esteem. He wanted that position, so he murdered<\/em> him. Capitalism<\/em> is the murderer, socialism<\/em> is God the lover. And if you can get it simply in your mind, then you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32, \u201cAnd ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> But the movie last night\u2013 and I will close with this. Said a voyage, a strange voyage, a voyage into some idiot\u2019s place. I don\u2019t know what they called it. What was this? Is\u2013 Is Stephan around here? Tim, you were there\u2013 you were incred\u2013 what was it? What was it called? Incredible Journey, voyage into somebody\u2019s stupid body. Fantastic Voyage<\/em>. And they\u2019re (unintelligible word) with this things. (shouts) You\u2019ve got to be shocked<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Voice in Congregation:<\/strong> Oh yes.<\/p>\n

Jones:<\/strong> The powers of the earth are ruled by the prince of the air. Capitalism is ruling the air today, its days\u2019 about done, but right now the prince of the air, capitalism, self-possessive, competitive, murderous competition, that\u2019s the devil (Ephesians 2:1-3).<\/span> That\u2019s what you need to fear. Every time you hear capitalism, you know that\u2019s the devil, and fear<\/em> it with all your heart. And if that\u2019s what\u2019s in you, if that\u2019s which is in the collective, whether it\u2019s inwardly or outward picured, it\u2019s the dail\u2013 most devious force there is in all human existence. (unintelligible word) showed it\u2013 showed doctors and uh, what\u2019s the usual thing, the communists were trying to get a secret uh, and the capitalist had it. The man was there with a blood clot in his brain. And\u2013 and the\u2013 if they could get the blood clot removed and there was no way that surgery perform it. You had to go in and operate. It was inoperable, so they\u2013 they\u2013 they had to deminiaturize, they had a new method of scientific wonder that they can deminiaturize by atoms uh, control computations of certain formulas which\u2013 You didn\u2019t need to do that too, they\u2019ll be doing it, but we\u2019re going to not see it done till socialism comes. They can reduce the size, \u2018cause everything that happens to science fiction usually has merit, and I\u2019ve seen it always, it can actually be done. So they could bring this down to a microbe, and they brought this submarine down to a microbe in a hypodermic, it was quite a uh, difficult process, I won\u2019t go into all that, that has no purpose to what I\u2019m trying to say. And they injected this sup\u2013 this submarine as a microbe into the bloodstream at the carotid artery, to go to\u2013 into the brain, and break up this clot, which as fantastic as it seems, that is conceivably possible, to deminiaturize just that much. \u2018Cause I\u2019ve sa\u2013 I\u2019ve said\u2013 I\u2019ve said I\u2019ve gone through walls, I know something about the realm of metaphysics. I have a master\u2019s, Ph.D., a DD and an LDD, whatever you want to give it, I\u2019ve got it in God.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Murmurs assent<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>If I haven\u2019t got it, it isn\u2019t worth getting.<\/p>\n

Congregation:<\/strong> Murmurs assent<\/p>\n

Jones: <\/strong>All right. And so I know the uh\u2013 the control of the elements, and uh, it is conceivable. But then they get in this little submarine, and up they go through the bloodstream, and they\u2019ve got three doctors on there, or two doctors, a doctor\u2013 two doctors and a helper. And they try to present the one guy as being the\u2013 the communist agent, and I said to the\u2013 I said it\u2019ll be the other guy. I knew it immediately, I know propaganda when I see it. It said this guy came along, and said, well I\u2013 Oh, they were looking at osmosis of the cell, and the cell taking in oxygen and putting out carbon dioxide, and what a remarkable process they said this was. Said\u2013 this one was saying, God, there has to be a God out there to do this. They always want to keep their God out there, \u2018cause they don\u2019t want you to do a thing about making this a better place. It\u2019s God out there, you see. (voice raises) The world and the churches had kept your God out there, because Jesus said, today is the day of salvation (Luke 19:9-10, \u201cAnd Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house, forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.\u201d), thy kingdom come, on earth\u2013 my will be done on earth (from the Lord\u2019s prayer, Matthew 6:9-13), but they want to keep out there because then you know\u2013 they know that they\u2019ll have trouble if you find out that you are gods. Jesus said, when they would stone him, he said, what good work do you stone me, is it not written, I\u2019m only been called the son of man, it\u2019s written that ye are gods<\/em>. Jesus came to earth, as I\u2019ve come to earth, to show people that there\u2019s no God higher than their own self, that they\u2019re gods. (Voice drops, then climbs) And boy, capitalism and the church age which has sold out to capitalism, it doesn\u2019t want people to get that message (John 10:32-34).<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Murmurs<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: When you reckon wi\u2013 with the fact that you\u2019re God, then you can make a heaven around<\/em> you. You can create your own condition<\/em>. They don\u2019t want you to think you\u2019re a creator. They want you to be a dumb, stupid<\/em> listener. Not a thinker. I have you attending in this room, not to just listen to me (claps hands once), but to stir up your pure<\/em> imagination, to stir up the wellsprings of eternal life, to stir up the Christ<\/em> in you, to resurrect God in you. That\u2019s why I have you listen, that you might be what I am, and even greater (John 14:12)<\/span>, because God compounds himself from time to time and place to place. (Pause)<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Murmurs<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Quiet) And uh, this remarkable, remarkable stupidity. They said uh\u2013 This other man said, why, it\u2019s the evolution<\/em>of man, this is just proof of his growth, from cell to persistence of the perfectability of man, to grow, to grow, to grow. He said, that\u2019s all it is, five hundred million years of growth. I knew right there, there was the communist.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Murmurs<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: The system always makes up the communist. \u2018Cause that\u2019s the thinker. A thinker has to be the bad guy. You see the bad word they\u2019ve got you to believe. They\u2019ve got you believing bad is\u2013 black is white and white is black, they\u2019ve got you believing the wrong things about the right things and right things about the wrong things. Vice versa. (Pause) Anyway, in the mystery of it, there\u2019s the truth. (Short laugh) (Pause) So, my dears, I knew then the bad guy\u2019s gonna be in all the way up that road. They pulled the awfulest stunts. (Pause) Capitalism always looks like it\u2019s good, but it ends up getting its enemies murdered. Finally, this doctor got exposed\u2013 Am I forgetting anything, Stephan, that uh, might be worth mentioning? Finally this doctor \u2013 you think of it, and if you do, then add to it \u2013 finally this doctor gets exposed. And of course, capitalism can never be shown publicly<\/em> to be a murderer. They couldn\u2019t take him with them, they swam out of the ai\u2013 the\u2013 the bloodstream, because the submarine was just defunct, and they swam out into the optic nerve and out into the m\u2013 the moisture of the eye, and that\u2019s how they got out. The microbes in there too far-fetched, that they could make it in their timing, but that\u2019s the way they got out. But naturally, they\u2019re not gonna let us communists swim out. And they are gonna look like they saved them. Uh, the\u2013 the guy went in to make a valiant effort to save these guys, but see, they always make God working with capitalism, their superstition of the\u2013 of the\u2013 the\u2013 the\u2013 the shows, of their movies, of their drama makes God working with them. Just about that time, all the rest of \u2018em are swimming around, but no white corpuscle attacks them. Naturally, the antibodies will fight any foreign object in the bloodstream, after so long a time. It\u2019s uh\u2013 and they\u2013 and they were beginning to get their size back, they\u2013 the deminiaturizing only worked for about uh\u2013 only worked for about uh\u2013 for an hour. (Aside) It\u2019s all right. I\u2019m just uh, diverting. (Louder) One hour it worked, and they were beginning to grow. But all of them were beginning to grow, but who did the white corpuscles go after? Why, of course, the dirty communist.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Yeah.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Where they would have to shoot<\/em> him. They coulda carried him down that current. But they don\u2019t want to ever look like they shoot, they only shoot in the background, they only shoot uh, when it\u2019s not observable. We only kill when it\u2019s in My Lais in Vietnam, when we can wipe out whole villages, as you go back and look on that bulletin board, or that picture of those American soldiers, officers showed you that threw their medals in\u2013 the murders, the murderers, the murders that we\u2019ve done for profit<\/em>. General David Shoup, uh, the commander of the Marine Corps, said we have murdered untold thousands and thousands of babies \u2013 it\u2019s in the Congressional Record \u2013 for tin, tungsten, rubber. (Claps hands once) (Voice starts to climb) The elements. What? Capitalism, to control, to possess, to hold, to hold. The whole war, according to General [James] Gavin, General Shoup, Rear Admiral [Arnold] True, General [Matthew] Ridgway, General Clark, Gen\u2013 General Hugh Hester. The whole war. These are our American generals, the finest flowers of the military complex, said we have killed 60 million\u2013 60,000 American boys, and two<\/em> million poor<\/em> Vietnamese, for American capitalistic competition, money-grubbing, dirty devils that want to hold, not only our own people\u2019s money, this terrible\u2013 uh, uh, we are so dumb, we\u2019re so blind, we\u2019ve been doc\u2013 indoctrinated by King James, that was made by capitalism. We\u2019ve been indoctrinated by a church that told us that our heaven was out there. I looked at this horror of the mine today in Idaho. Horrible<\/em>. 91 dead, not a one of them (Claps hands twice) should\u2019ve died. (Emphasizes each word) Not one federal law was kept. And who\u2019s responsible? The federal law that would rather get after somebody making five thousand dollars a year, and make them pay 16 dollars income tax they owe, rather than go after the big corporate interests that murder thousands and thousands of people, the federal government had not implemented laws that had been made 35<\/em> years ago. 35 years ago. Laws that were made that had bever been invoked. 91 people gassed<\/em> to death, choked<\/em> to death, because the telephones<\/em> wouldn\u2019t work, and the elevators<\/em> wouldn\u2019t work, and gas around them, no maps, little simple maps, the profiteers couldn\u2019t afford to make a map<\/em>. They don\u2019t want to give one dime of their dirty dollar profit, their devilish motives, they don\u2019t want to give a dime<\/em> of their profits to even make uh, an alternate route of escape for those poor men caught<\/em> down there in that hell of the mine. Not even a route<\/em>, not a map, not a piece of paper to show them how to get out. You should know your enemy, but the church, the lying church, the babbling mystery, babbling the mother of whore religion, the great re\u2013 opiate of the people, it has kept your blind<\/em> to your salvation, it has kept your blind<\/em> to your redemption.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Applause<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: There should be ten million people listening to my voice now, and in this room only 300 people that are knowing the truth<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Applause<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Calms throughout) The system has deluded us, blinded us, takes the movies, takes every little sacred thing, gets the children in their formative years, and it\u2019s got to have a political message. They said [Adolf] Hitler was a propagandist. He was a\u2013 He was a failure compared to what we do today.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: That\u2019s right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: We catch a child or a mo\u2013 adult in the middle of the night, in rest time with popcorn in their hand, the most impressionable, before they go to sleep, and we show them dirt<\/em> like this. A dirty commie is the man who doesn\u2019t believe in the Skygod, but believes that God is a science. (Pause) (Sighs) All the other things\u2013 Did I forget any other thing? Oh, the propaganda I pointed out to those kids. It was every turn, every turn, every turn. (Pause) (Hmphs) It\u2019s amazing you\u2019re here. I get disappointed that people don\u2019t recognize who I am, and the utter honesty of what I am, not because I need them to recognize it, but I just want them to be free. And there\u2019s one thing I don\u2019t have the right to do is to impose. I cannot impose. I\u2019ve never made anyone a socialist by my gifts or paranormal power. I can\u2019t hold a person like that. You\u2019ve got to get it inside yourself. That\u2019s why some of you don\u2019t get it here tonight. You\u2019d hate<\/em> this thing with a passion. The same spirit that caused Cain to slay Abel was capitalism, competition (Genesis 4:1-8).<\/span> So why would Mr. Wallace be surprised that a young boy, torn by the society, torn to get ahead, a subnormal individual, mixed up, no love in his home, his family didn\u2019t even know he was li\u2013 had left Milwaukee. Lonely in apartments. The alienation of capitalism, because we don\u2019t teach co\u2013 togetherness. Communes are bad, only dirty hippies live in communes. Even though the apostles<\/em> live in communes, even those the apostles<\/em> shared and shared alike, even though the apostles were living all night, they\u2019d been up all night and all day for many days in that upper room, that was a pure oldtime commune. When they waited upon the anointing that they found there, the revolution that happened in that upper room. But anybody [who] lives in a commune\u2019s a dirty hippie (Acts 1:13-15).<\/span> Some of you noddin\u2019\u2013 you\u2019re nodding your head at me, and some of you li\u2013 sister over there nodding like she agree, but some of you noddin\u2019 like you agree that the\u2013 everybody lives in a commune\u2019s a dirty hippie. (Calls out) I\u2019m being funny. (Pause) So you\u2019re<\/em> brainwashed. Hippie<\/em>. Hippie means bad<\/em>. Hippie\u2019s<\/em> bad, communist<\/em>is bad, socialist<\/em> is bad. Love<\/em> is bad. Love feast is bad. Anything that mentions love, sentiment, warmth, togetherness, it\u2019s bad<\/em>, because it\u2019ll cause you to get together, and if you get together, you\u2019ll put your minds together and realize who\u2019s got their foot on the back of your head. That\u2019s<\/em> why they don\u2019t want you to get together. They don\u2019t intend<\/em> for you to have a love-in.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers and applause<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: That\u2019s why they raid every love-in when they oughta be raiding these damnable churches.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers and applause<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Catholics can conduct bingo games, for the most di\u2013 diabolical things. They can have gaming laws broken on every hand, gamble right out in the open basement, and nobody comes near them because they\u2019re doing nothing but erecting horrible symbols where the poor whites and Japanese and blacks used to have houses on Geary, they have them no longer, because they\u2019re gambling downstairs in the basement, making those great big pavement monsters, taking the earth, taking the trees, taking the houses, swallowing them up, the modern mous\u2013 monster of technology, and leaving the people nothing. The Catholics are never bothered, but let a bunch of children get out someplace (Pause) and begin to talk about love, and they\u2019re immediately\u2013 Just last night, somebody\u2013 helicopter lowered on them, they even get their hair (unintelligible word), they\u2019re such treacherous bastards, that\u2013 get their hair long, they lowered their helicopter on these young people out in the middle of the wilds, with their dogs, and they shot first, asked questions later, shot the young man. All they found was a little bit of marijuana. Murdered him. Murdered<\/em> him. It’s on the front page of the Chronicle<\/em>. Yesterday. (Pause) Or in jails. Everybody\u2019s lost, you know. Peoples don\u2019t care. They\u2019ve got us brainwashed. Popcorn, TV, middle of the night. Young ju\u2013 uh, Chinaman dies in the jail. Picked up for drunk, throwed in the jail, lays all night, and the other bro\u2013 brother with him nearly died too in San Francisco, they got him out but the one boy drunk\u2013 and they said, well, we don\u2019t know why. Well, I knew one thing was wrong right off. The people, if they\u2019d been concerned, would\u2019ve raised a loud cry till the City Hall would never\u2019ve been able to go to sleep for a week. The idea that the police could throw somebody in a jail that was reeling under the influences of some kind of beating or something else that they\u2019d been put in their system, and just thrown in the drunk tank, and nobody looked at him all night, and the young, 24-year-old died. That\u2019s just down in San Francisco yesterday. Every day<\/em> the news comes. Every day, but right here in my assembly, while I\u2019m preaching the truth, trying to set you free, you sleep on me, you talk to other people, you look around, you don\u2019t even know what time of day it is. I\u2019ve got 100 people that knows which way the wind blows. (Pause) Maybe 100. I\u2013 I\u2013\u00a0I\u2013 I can\u2019t stay awake. You can stay awake, then mess around.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You can stay awake to eat<\/em>. You can stay awake\u2013 You can eat in the flesh, you can ea\u2013 do all the things you want in the flesh, and you stay mighty awake. You can play around in your poor identity games in bedroom, you can play around with all this central egocentrism, you can do all that, but you cannot hear the word of the great I Am when he\u2019s here to speak life<\/em> to you.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Liberty<\/em> to you. Freedom<\/em> to you. (Pauyse) Said, I\u2019ve heard this before. You never heard this sermon before. I never preach the same sermon twice. You\u2019ve never heard one of my sermons before, because I\u2019m spontaneous honesty, I never come with anything planned, it comes right from my heart, from the depth of my soul.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Never comes from any pre-planning. My plan was to say nothing, till I spoke to Professor Roller about a situation that\u2019s came\u2013 arose, just prior to our starting. (Pause) So please, please be able to detect the\u2013 the carnal nature, the devil, adamic. Please. Someone come up to me, some\u2013 more than one, saying, you baptize in the name of Jesus Christ for the remissions of sin imposed upon us, capitalistic adamic. Surely, that\u2019s<\/em> the sin. Man would not sin, if it hadn\u2019t been for system. The system of competition, that\u2019s the sin. System to get something that you don\u2019t need. Exploitiveness, competition, acquiring goods for goods\u2019 sakes instead of for use. All that\u2019s been our sin. So that\u2019s why I say, baptize you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins capitalism\u2019s<\/em> imposed upon you, that you might receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, which means absolutely nothing, unless you define it. What did the Holy Ghost? It gave them socialism. So I say that you might receive the gift of the Holy Ghost, socialism<\/em>. That\u2019s<\/em> what God came to give you, socialism<\/em>, an apostolic equality, an apostolic freedom<\/em>, apostolic justice<\/em>, apostolic sharing. That\u2019s what the Holy Ghost is.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers and applause<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: My God almighty. (Pause) No one in their right mind should ask me that, that\u2019s been here for two or three years. I\u2019ve got people sitting here who\u2019ve been here five or six times, never been in a meeting, a bu\u2013 a\u2013 a church meeting, a\u2013 a catharsis or uh, saints\u2019 meeting, as we call this, our fellowship meeting. Never been here, and they\u2019re\u2013 they\u2019re understanding it more than some of you who sit here for two and three years. What is it that we don\u2019t have an ear to hear, what the Spirit is saying to the churches (Numerous references in Gospels to \u201cHe that hath ears to hear, let him hear,\u201d including Matthew 11:15, 13:9, 13:43; Mark 4:9, 4:23, 7:16; Luke 8:8, 14:35).<\/span> Churches<\/em>. You\u2019re the churches. Church of [Marceline] LaTourneau, the Church of Stahl, the Church of uh, Sweet Love, the Church of Love Life [Lowe], the Church of [Don] Bower, the Church of re\u2013 Blochs, the Church of Christine, you\u2019re the churches<\/em>, and (calls out) I, the Spirit of Socialism, I <\/em>am the Spirit<\/em>, speaking to a conscience.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: That you might cleanse yourself of the temptings of the flesh. Carnality, adamic capitalism, that you might cleanse yourself of unrighteousness. Whatever your unrighteousness is, it all comes back to the seed<\/em>. Competitiveness, capitalism. It\u2019s the source of every murder, the source of every crime<\/em> against your fellow man, whether it be some kind of adultery, fornication, whether it be some kind of stealing, whether it be some kind of dishonesty of just a ethical nature, whatever the nature of the crime, the culprit is the same. Capitalism, the personification of evil. (Pause) (Calms) If you understand that, then you will know what it\u2019s all about. And you\u2019ll live more decently, by knowing the truth. I would think just one day\u2019s news would teach you what you need to know. Mr. Wallace gets socialism. Free airplanes, free hospital planes, free hospital wards, anything you want, Mr. Wallace. Why does Mr. Wallace get anything free? Because he had the power in capitalism to step over all he could step over, his brother [Gerald Wallace] was proven to be dishonest and immoral and corrupt and dodged taxes in Alabama, he had the power to collect power, and that\u2019s why he gets socialism. (Builds to ministerial fervor) We\u2019re saying, rich man, we\u2019re tired of you taking away from the poor, and giving yourself socialism, we want you to give to all the same things you\u2019ve been taking for centuries. We want you to give to all<\/em> mankind that which you have taken and used for your own self alone. We are sick and tired of your misuse and abuse of power and appropriating it on your own selfish and carnal lust. It\u2019s all we\u2019re saying. We\u2019re saying, Mr. Miner, we want the people to own the air, that the mines shouldn\u2019t\u2019ve belonged to some absentee owner in New York, when a poor foreman that stood on the telephone, saying, can I bring the men out, the smoke is filling the shaft, said, no, we cannot afford to lose the work hours. What right does somebody sitting in New York have to tell people who are working in the land and the toil under the ground in Idaho, two thousand five hundred, three thousand miles away, what right does some rich man sitting in a luxury apartment with a penthouse and with yachts all around in the various ports of the world, what right does he have to sit and tell someone, in the comfort of his air-conditioned office, stay there, we can\u2019t lose the manhours, and cause 91 sons of freedom to die, 91 human beings to die down there in that hellish depth, (cries out) what right does he have? He has the right because the prince and the power of the air is ruling, but God Almighty is unleashed (Ephesians 2:1-3),<\/span> the spirit of (unintelligible word) is unleashed, the spirit of socialism is freeing<\/em> the people.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls<\/p>\n

Man in crowd<\/strong>: (calls out, unintelligible)<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Calms) Then the poor folks when they could get out, after they\u2019d made the man his penthouse and his yachts, his Rolls Royces and his Cadillacs. And the one owner it said had five different wives that he was paying support on \u2013 a little bit of it leaks out now \u2013 paying out 700 thousand dollars in alimony. The rich owners of that mine company\u2013 what is the name of it?<\/p>\n

Low voice<\/strong>: Sunshine.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Sunshine Mines. Some poor young sir\u2013 21, 22, the mean age down in the twenties of those boys that died. Never had a chance to get an education, never had a chance to enjoy even their own earth that they walked on, while he possesses that land, that white man that\u2019s far away owns that land, never had to sweat under it. (Voice drops, then climbs) Inherited it from somebody who outfoxed the Indians. He never had a thing to do with it, somebody stole it originally from the Indians and give it to him, because they had bigger guns, and were meaner? What right does someone that stole that land have those people\u2013 have the\u2013 have to tell those people to stay down there and die? (Voice drops, then climbs) And then not even give them a map to get out, or flashlights, and they didn\u2019t even have enough gas masks to go around, not even enough gas masks to go around, and only one-third of them worked. They put them on and they suffocated in their own mask. (Drops to conversational, then builds) You sit here and don\u2019t understand what I\u2019m all about. You\u2019re some kind of a fool<\/em> if you don\u2019t understand what I\u2019m all about.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: You have to be blind, deaf and dumb, not to understand the spirit of Jim Jones. You say, I don\u2019t understand you, what do I need to do? I come with only clothes people give me, wouldn\u2019t have this, someone gave it off Sunday. I\u2019m tired<\/em>of this birthday stuff, but they crab\u2013 they didn\u2019t put any card on it, but I\u2019m gonna wear it, it\u2019s here. Naturally, I\u2019m gonna wear it. Anybody else vopuld wear it that wants it. But no birthday celebrate\u2013 uh, I don\u2019t have a piece of new clothing except this thing, I presume it\u2019s new, I found it, it was (stumbles over words) a cl\u2013 a cleaning<\/em> tag in it, but I still presume it was new. Slipped up here.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Few laughs<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: But I don\u2019t like it. You wanted to sing to me Sunday, I don\u2019t want you to sing to me. You want to sing, somebody said, let\u2019s sing Happy Birthday to You. Until you can sing for every poor mother that\u2019s carried the burdens of the world, until you can sing for every laborer that\u2019s worked with the dirt, you cannot sing for Jim Jones. My flesh is no different that the flesh of all that I Am. I\u2019m a part of all my fellow men. You must sing for all mankind, sing the song of freedom<\/em>, sing the song of socialism<\/em>, you make me glad, but don\u2019t sing to me, don\u2019t sing me a song to my birthday. The song I want to hear in you is a song that you have been resurrected. What I want to sing to your anniversary of socialism. (Voice calms) That will make me happy. (Pause) Not that you can sing to Jim Jones. It\u2019s no consequence that he\u2019s lived so many years on this earth that he hasn\u2019t touched you. (Pause) Someone come up to me tonight, two or three, and says, oh God, you\u2019re so beautiful. That makes me sick. (Pause) You\u2019re so handsome, God. (Pause) What I\u2019d like to hear you say, (cries out) God, you\u2019re so truth. You\u2019re so real. You\u2019re so pure, you\u2019re so honest. I don\u2019t care to hear you say I\u2019ve got good-looking hair, or I\u2019ve got good-looking body, I don\u2019t want to hear about that, I\u2019d get sick<\/em> of your worship of the flesh. I get sick that I could vomit, with the, oh, you look so good. (Pause) (Calms) How do you read me, is what I\u2019m interested in. What do you hear that I have to say? Say, well, I can\u2019t help that to feel that way. That\u2019s fine. Keep it to yourself. I don\u2019t mind that you feel it. I\u2019m not trying to abuse your thoughts, \u2018cause you\u2019re good people, but do you have to remind me of my outward exterior? I\u2019ve come to do away with all those things. Man looks on the outward appearance, capitalism looks on the outward appearance, but God Socialism (in full throat) looks on the heart. God Socialism, look at the purity of the mind. He doesn\u2019t care what kind of clothes you have on, or what your hairdo is, or what the color of your skin is, he looks at your heart, he looks at the depths of your soul. (Intense, but conversational) That\u2019s the righteousness of God. (Pause) (Voice drops) Please<\/em> don\u2019t call me beautiful, Bobby. Makes me pukey-puke sick. (Pause) Now you better get that message across, people, because I\u2019ll\u2013 next time, I put up with things, a lot of time, I will just nod my head (pause) \u2018cause I haven\u2019t got time, I\u2019ve got busy schedules on my mind, I haven\u2019t got time to disrupt you. But now when I make a public procalum\u2013 proclamation, you better get it in your head. Hmm?<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Right.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Say, I love you because you\u2019re kind. I love you, Father, because you are true. I love you because you have been good, upright, fair. I love you because you\u2019re the very, very symbol of justice. That I don\u2019t mind. Love me for that. But don\u2019t say, beautiful body. That sickening mess that comes and leaves, the beautiful body of God, (explosive sound with lips). (Pause) I hear it’s quiet.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: Just\u2013 You gotta get on out of realms. Everything\u2019s a school. You got some truth back east, but that\u2019s gone. It\u2019s not beautiful body now, it\u2019s beautiful mind. (Cries out) Beautiful mind.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: The body\u2019s a low realm, but the mind is a high plane. Come on up, come on up into the higher plane of my salvation, (calms slightly) the mind of socialism.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Stirs.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Conversational) Indeed, you could understand what I\u2019m talking about if you\u2019d read just one day\u2019s news. That would be all that would be needed. Just one day\u2019s news, child. You could look and see 91 people die, because of gas masks that won\u2019t work, so somebody could have another yacht that he doesn\u2019t use. J. Paul Getty, that makes 14 million, four hundred thousand dollars a day on his interest of his money in the bank, has got yachts he\u2019s never been in. H\u2013 Hughes and Wrights, and all these\u2013 this\u2013 this\u2013 uh, J. Howard Hughes, he\u2019s got\u2013 what is his name, I don\u2019t know these rich people, they don\u2019t impress me. I might remember some grandmother over in a poor uh, tenement section, but uh, these rich people don\u2019t impress me, I don\u2019t even know their name. What is it\u2013 Howard Hughes, I guess it is. Airplanes that are worth millions, he\u2019s never been in. Hotels, the tenant\u00ad\u2013 the pennant\u2013 penthouses he\u2019s never been in. (Voice builds throughout) Makes me sick, like it made me sick when I went back East and saw the leader having apartments and clothes, long since gone. Gone, gone, years gone, still showing me through his wardrobe, showing me his fine jewels, showing me his lovely rooms where nobody could come in. That mother\u2013 that\u2013 that great mother, thinking she was showing me something while people are dying, while there\u2019re people in need, while old people didn\u2019t have a place to go, showing me rooms that\u2019ll never be used, showing me apartments that\u2019ll never be used again, showing me clothes that\u2019ll rot there. That\u2019s God\u2013 that\u2019s not God. God long left that plane. God left that plane. God doesn\u2019t honor that kind of thing. That\u2019s why God\u2019s not there, \u2018cause God won\u2019t honor that kind of thing. God\u2019s spirit, pure spirit, won\u2019t stay where there\u2019s worship of things. He won\u2019t stay where flesh is exalted, he won\u2019t stay where materialism is exalted, God is a pure spirit, pure mind, pure socialism, and he\u2019ll leave anything that\u2019s anything less.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Calls, murmuring<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Calm, then builds) Uh, blessed hearts, get the spirit and the consciousness of God Socialism. Get that actual consciousness in your mind, and it is the source of every<\/em> resolution. It\u2019ll solve every problem satisfactorily, it\u2019ll adjust all circumstances. It\u2019ll make every day fall into place. It\u2019s the great map<\/em> of your salvation, it\u2019s the geography in which you study the terrain of the rocky roads to perfectability. You must have<\/em> it, you\u2019ve got to have it deep in your heart, you\u2019ve gotta know it, it’s the only thing that\u2019ll carry you through. When my voice is tired and begins to spit up blood from aching and co\u2013 throwing out my voice all night long, when my body aches and is racked with pain, when my eyes cannot even see but fuzzy little details, then I think on that which God is, a spirit of Socialism, and I rise up again with wings like an eagle, I soar above the clouds of mortality, I soar above all that which is mortal and capitalistic, (Drops slightly) and I fly again (Isaiah 40:31, \u201cBut they that wait upon the\u00a0Lord\u00a0shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.\u201d).<\/span> It\u2019s the thing that\u2019ll keep you flying, honey, when nothing else will keep you going. You look around and see all weak ones, and you\u2019ll say I cannot carry on, they know nothing about this principle that we are. Yeah, a woman that works so hard in projects, you think (slurs over two words) ways a lonely road, you couldn\u2019t keep going. How could these people that run projects keep going? Night after night and day after day, and I must say, by the way, anybody that\u2019s on projects, don\u2019t be trying to get them involved in other work, housing and things like that. They\u2019ve got too much to do. Just keepin\u2019 that, ch\u2013 uh, children\u2019s home and that convalescent home, but those people who are living purely socialistic, what keeps them going? What keeps them going? Some like Helen [Swinney] who, not only out there makes money for us each month, and turns it into the collective so that you can have more, and\u2013 and then goes down and has all the little concessions, the parks and the ball games, and makes several thousand dollars for the people, what keeps her going? Because down in her soul, she\u2019s found God Socialism, she knows what it is. (Voice rises) That\u2019s what keeps you moving on, when nothing else will keep you moving on. (Drops to conversational level, then builds) Your voice don\u2019t feel like talking, you\u2019ll think about where we\u2019re going, and your voice will get new energy. When you\u2019re aching and pain seems that\u2013 it\u2019s almost overho\u2013 overrule your very mind, and you don\u2019t think you can get your mind above the pain of your body, you\u2019ll think on that which I am, divine socialism, and you\u2019ll rise up again, and you\u2019ll soar like a rocket against the missiles of evil. (Calms) Divine mind, socialism. How beautiful God thou art. Truly, so good is our God, so marvelous, so (unintelligible word), so tangible, so real, so practical, so real, we wanted salvation so long, and now we have it in a package, Socialism, God, Divine love. Then to have it personified in a human body, so that you too can be personifiable in the same sense. A spirit in the consciousness of the presence of God can be yours. I\u2019m here to remind you that you are God, that it\u2019s up to you to make your heavens out of the hells of Sunshine Mines, out of the hells of Watts and the hells of Hunter Points, it\u2019s up to you. Just like I have made your hell a little bit more like a heaven. It was I, not another, no one outside of me, no one that I ever call on, all this energy comes inside me, I just look within, I just still myself and look within, and it all comes outside of this little ol\u2019 shapen body, misshapen as it is, small diminutive size, nothing to look at that one would want to revel in. But inside this body, there\u2019s a formula of power that can raise the dead, can heal the sick, can open up the blind eyes that he did last week, when she couldn\u2019t see a thing (claps hand once), and I could get her to see objects and colors, (claps hand once) (Ministerial cadence) oh yes, inside the body, this is the finger of God, these are the eyes of God, this is the mouth of God, this is the hand of God, this is the body of God, the body of God Socialism, I am the body, the body of God.<\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Cheers.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: (Voice builds) Where the eagles gather, there has to be carcass. And where the carcass is, the eagles will gather together. And I am the carcass, willing to die, that you could live. Willing that you could eat from me, that you might know the divine principle that will save you and set you free. You may be seated. Say, where the carcass is, there shall the eagles be gathered together (Matthew 24:26-28).<\/span> I don\u2019t mind dying, but I don\u2019t want you to die, to admire my clothes or to die talking about how we like to sung today, or how well I healed? I don\u2019t want you to be judging me by\u2013 by such superficial things. I don\u2019t want you to be talking about how I look. I don\u2019t mind dying, if uh, by my dying, you can take up my elements and become a stronger eagle. That\u2019s why this great vulture\u2019s laying here. The carcass is laying here. (Pause) (Calms, then builds) Dying, that you can get life. That you can eat of my flesh and pick it dry. That you can pick at my mind until it no longer exists as a person, as an entity of its own, it’s no longer individualized but it\u2019s collectivized. That\u2019s why I\u2019m here, dying<\/em> that you might live. But not<\/em> that you might be setting up another idolator. As I said in the fore days of old, why callest thou me good? There is none good. My flesh is no good. My birthdays are no good. My own history\u2019s no good. My name is no good. There\u2019s only one thing good, the Father of all things living, Socialism. God is love, and love is Socialism. The father is socialistic. (Voice calms) That\u2019s the good thing. Somebody\u2019ll come up to me and say, good teacher. Jesus wouldn\u2019t even permit to be called good teacher. Why callest thou me good? (Matthew 19:17. See also Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19)<\/span> This birthday business is a not\u2013 ad nauseum. He wouldn\u2019t have had it. Christmas. And then, at that to be a pagan hol\u2013 holiday. Wasn\u2019t his birthday. Born while the shepherds tend to their flock by night. Actually born someplace in May. (Pause) Same time he was born this time, if you must know it. But it\u2013 it matters not when he was born. He certainly wasn\u2019t born on December 25, because there\u2019s no shepherds out tending their flocks, December 25. He didn\u2019t want his birthday honored, and we honor it of flesh. But when he comes in his impersonal<\/em> way, said I am coming, I am hungry, I\u2019m over there in the mines, the Sunshine Mines in Idaho. Aggrieved mothers that need to be organized. Aggrieved families that need to be told what the problem is. I\u2019m over there hungry, destitute without homes, my\u2013 the housemaker, the provider\u2019s gone. Well, that\u2019s where he is. He said, I was hungry and you fed me not. Thirsty, and you gave me no drink. A stranger, and you didn\u2019t take me in. In prison, fighting for freedom, and you didn\u2019t come to me (Matthew 25: 35-46).<\/span> The church has ruined him. The church has polluted him. The church has misused him. They\u2019d like to keep him out there. They can keep pictures of him, but they can\u2019t contend with Jim Jones. Why is it the churches fight me more than anyone? Because they really don\u2019t love Jesus. For when he comes around, they can\u2019t stand him, because he activates all that\u2019s righteous, and he shows everything that\u2019s unholy up. And they don\u2019t want it. Tells the people that they\u2019re gods, they don\u2019t need the bishops, they don\u2019t need the priesthood, they don\u2019t need the churchanity, they don\u2019t need the ritual and religiosity. And they don\u2019t like it. If there\u2019s anything that should tell the whole world that I\u2019m sun, that I am the illumination, that I am a manifestation of the one hundred fold. Hundred percent God, what\u2019s what we\u2019ve been saying all along. You can be thirty fold if you want to, and look up to a dead Easter program on a pagan holiday, you can be a dead, dead dead 30 percent. Go pay some preacher to lie to you. You can be a 60 percenter, if you wish and get some experiences. Just a touch of Pentecost. Or you can move on in to where your father pastor is, one hundred percent, one hundred percent filled<\/em>, just like you fill a bottle, one hundred percent with water, I am one hundred percent filled with purity, and that purity is socialism. That\u2019s what it is. One hundred fold. (Matthew 13:8, <\/strong>13:23<\/strong>,<\/strong> 19:29; Mark 4:8, 4:20, 10:30; Luke 8:8)<\/span><\/p>\n

Congregation<\/strong>: Quiet applause.<\/p>\n

Jones<\/strong>: It\u2019s the most beautiful teaching on earth. Don\u2019t you ever go back. That\u2019s why we\u2019ve had the attainment of health, that\u2019s why we\u2019ve been about to materialize, dematerialize, that\u2019s why we\u2019ve been able to stop death 15 times in less than a year. It\u2019s been this recognition that I am in the hundred fold. Whatever you are, wherever you are, know this. Don\u2019t settle for anything less. Don\u2019t go back. If you go back, it\u2019ll be like a dog going back to its vomit. Whatever happened to this body, I\u2019ve said, I\u2019ve reached a plane now that I can put the voice here, whithersoever I am, my so-called personality manifestation, my same mind, supranatural mind. Little distinctive features of personality won\u2019t be there. But the same supranatural mind will be there, always, as I said it four times. This time, I\u2019m making it plain. (Taps pulpit) It will never leave you. If you have a v\u2013 ear to hear, it will never leave you. I am bringing sons into glory (Hebrews 2:10, \u201cFor it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings.\u201d).<\/span> It\u2019ll be done. It\u2019ll be spoken. By my helpmate, if it\u2019s spoken through her now, there\u2019s no male or female in him. And then when the time comes, there\u2019ll be seed out of the very loins of this consciousness. I shall speak. The voice shall always be here. (Pause) The voice of the right idea. Christ, which means anointing, which means revolutionary, which means equality, which means love. These are they that set the world upside down, turn it upside down. We\u2019re gonna get back to turning up the old capitalistic competitive exploitive world, we\u2019re going to turn it upside down and right<\/em> side up (Acts 17:6).<\/span><\/p>\n
