They rent their clothes before that Ark of the Covenant.\u201d (Joshua generally, esp. Joshua 7:6, \u201cAnd Joshua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth upon his face before the ark of the LORD until the eventide, he and the elders of Israel, and put dust upon their heads.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen it [the Ark of the Covenant] disappeared, it was lifted, and Jeremiah said we will remember the Ark of the Covenant no more.\u201d (Jeremiah 3:16, \u201cAnd it shall come to pass, when ye be multiplied and increased in the land, in those days, saith the LORD, they shall say no more, The ark of the covenant of the LORD: neither shall it come to mind: neither shall they remember it; neither shall they visit it; neither shall that be done any more.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>[Agreeing with a woman quoting scripture to him] \u201cShe said a great truth there. Said once that God did nothing that he did not first reveal to his servants, the prophets. So that\u2019s a very good point.\u201d (Amos 3:7, \u201cSurely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You remember I\u2019ve always said, let your life so shine that men will see your good works and glorify your Father.\u201d (Matthew 5:16, \u201cLet your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou <i>give<\/i> your life and then you find it.\u201d (Matthew 10:39, \u201cHe that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it;\u201d Matthew 16:25, \u201cFor whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.\u201d See also Mark 8:35; Luke 9:24; Luke 17:33; and John 12:25)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[W]e speak of God in me in the hundredfold. In the scripture, it speaks, there\u2019s hundredfold, thirtyfold, and sixtyfold. Well, that means sixty percent of the principle, thirty percent of the principle, or a hundred percent fool <i>proof<\/i>, hundred percent <i>pure<\/i>. Your Bible tells you that in the last day there will be one hundredfold manifestation of God. That means one hundred percent God. Well, I\u2019m in the hundredfold. It\u2019s one hundred percent dedicated, completely committed, completely sacrifice to the will.\u201d (Matthew 13:3-23)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t throw a pearl of great price out too easily. Let people find it. If they don\u2019t find it on their own, it won\u2019t mean anything. It\u2019ll turn them away.\u201d (Matthew 13:45-46, \u201c\u2026the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus said deny yourself\u2026 Jesus said if any man would come after me, take up your own cross. He didn\u2019t say anything about taking <i>his<\/i> cross or pleading the blood of <i>his<\/i> cross. He said that if any man that would follow me, let him <i>deny<\/i> himself and take up his own cross. You can\u2019t take Jesus\u2019 cross, and Jesus can\u2019t work out your own salvation.\u201d (Matthew 16:24, \u201cThen said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.\u201d See also Mark 8:34, Mark 10:21, and Luke 9:23)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut people say uh, Jesus save me. Jesus <i>can\u2019t<\/i> save you. You must be saved by <i>enduring<\/i> to the end. He that endures to the end, the same shall be saved.\u201d (Matthew 24:13, \u201cBut he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.\u201d See also, Mark 13:13)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYe must be born again, I hear. Well, if you\u2019re born again, that makes you something new.\u201d (John 3:1-21, esp. 3:7, \u201cMarvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.\u201d See also John 7:50, John 19:39.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow many say that God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. This means <i>nothing<\/i> at all in terms of literalism. A Father who would sacrifice his son for reprobates, evil doers, would be less than love.\u201d (John 3:16, \u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat was actually the case, and has to be the case, a savior or God, a God must come himself, and Jesus bore that out when he said I have come in my own name? No. I have come in my <i>Father\u2019s<\/i> name.\u201d (John 5:43, \u201cI am come in my Father\u2019s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI [Jesus] and the Father are one.\u201d (John 10:30, \u201cI and my Father are one.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you see me [Jesus], you have seen the ultimate of good, or the Father.\u201d (John 14:9, \u201cJesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesus says these things shall you do and greater, because I go to the Father, so we\u2019ve living in a greater time of compassion, a greater time of love, a greater time of miracles.\u201d (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)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe word Communism\u2019s been badly abused, but on the day of Pentecost, they had all things in common. Perhaps we should call it Common-ism or Communalism. You have to share, you have to think of your brother or your sister above yourself.\u201d (Acts 2, esp. Acts 2:44, \u201cAnd all that believed were together, and had all things common.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[W]e believe in that God has no respecter to persons so if people, the first one said more than what I maybe had suggested, everyone would have to have that right to do so, because equality is the nature of God, our principle.\u201d (Acts 10:34, \u201cThen Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The law of life in the Christ sets us\u00a0free\u00a0from the law of sin and death.&#8221; (Romans 8:2, &#8220;For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we give generously, all the parables of every world religion says \u2026 then we will <i>reap<\/i> generously. If we give sparingly, we reap sparingly.\u201d (2 Corinthians 9:6, \u201cBut this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[M]ake the parable a little more difficult. The treasure\u2019s hid in earthen vessels. And don\u2019t cast it easily out.\u201d (2 Corinthians 4:7, \u201cBut we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe [Jesus] said, behold, I make all things new, you are new creatures in Christ.\u2026 You\u2019re a new creature. Well, if you see many new creatures in these churches, I\u2019d like for you to point them to us so we can go and work with them. But I haven\u2019t found very many new.\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:17, \u201cTherefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.\u201d See also Galatians 6:15, Revelation 21:5)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur own point of view is that we have been visited from higher dimensions. Paul called them third heavens \u2013 he was carried away to the third heaven once in a vision \u2013 or we say extra planetary realms.\u201d (2 Corinthians 12:2, \u201cI knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but the revolution of the Christ of the anointing lives in me.\u201d (Galatians 2:20, \u201cI am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear all that malarkey today. Jesus save me\u2026 I did a sinful lustful thing today, but I ask Jesus and he forgave me. No, no, no. Whatsoever you <i>sow<\/i>, that shall you also reap.\u201d (Galatians 6:7-8, \u201cBe not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll see the church as it was <i>required<\/i> to be. We were demanded that we take care of the household of the faith. That\u2019s what the church was demanded that it had to do, is to take care of the household of faith. We not only take care of the household of the faith, but hundreds and thousands of other people.\u201d (Galatians 6:10, \u201cAs we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe said each man and woman must work out their own plan of salvation in fear and trembling. That means it ought to be <i>serious<\/i> business, because it requires <i>fear<\/i> and trembling.\u201d (Philippians 2:12, \u201cWherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.\u201d)<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Christ, I prefer to say, meaning the revolutionary, the anointed one, because God has no meaning without Christ. Christ in\u00a0you, the hope of glory.&#8221; (Colossians 1:25-29, esp. Colossians 1:27, &#8220;To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGod is Logos or the word, and the word in the Greek means mind. And the mind when it\u2019s made flesh and dwells amongst you, it discerns the <i>thoughts<\/i> and knows the intents of the heart. It\u2019s quick and powerful. It separates soul from spirit or body from spirit, and if it can separate them, it can reunite them.\u201d (Hebrews 4:12, \u201cFor the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.\u201d)<\/ol>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>Summary:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><em>(<strong>Editor&#8217;s note<\/strong>: This tape was transcribed by Seriina Covarrubias. The editors gratefully acknowledge her invaluable assistance.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This tape of a Peoples Temple service takes place in San Francisco in September 1973. Jim Jones\u2019 address to the congregation includes many elements found in other tapes from the period \u2013 descriptions of healings he has performed, criticism of the Bible balanced against evocations of biblical scripture to reinforce his points, and requests for offerings, among others \u2013\u00a0but there are also singular aspects to the service as well. At one point, Jones opens the floor for a question-and-answer session about the church and its beliefs, something rarely done; at another point, he asks visitors to stand and identify themselves and give their church affiliation, if any, a way of introduction which he says they have never done before.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The service includes other familiar aspects as well, including testimonials to Jones\u2019 healing powers and charity, and singing (which is cut off).<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The tape opens with several minutes of praises for Jim Jones and the works he has done for individual members. As one man cries out, \u201cWhat what we visualize, Jim Jones can materialize, and if we let him take over, if we become clay in his hands, he will mold and shape and develop us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jones follows the testimonials with a request for offerings, and reminds the congregation of the biblical warning of reaping generously only if one gives generously. He then says that he will personally examine every envelope which contained the offerings \u2013 after the money has been removed, he adds, he doesn\u2019t handle the money \u2013 as a means of determining the members\u2019 faith to the cause. \u201cWe are separating the loyal from the non-committed,\u201d he says. The request then draws upon the miracles which the people have just heard about, and then makes the conclusion: \u201cMiracles like that come from giving generously. I mean that. If you give of yourself generously, you\u2019ll save yourself. Hold back, and everything will be held back from you.\u201d Finally, he adds a measure of urgency, counting down from a minute until the collection must be finished.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The theme of coupling the benefits offered by the church to the generosity of the offering returns later in the service. During the question-and-answer period, Jones tells his followers, \u201cyou cannot get help until you share.\u201d As long as people are selfish \u2013 \u201clike they are tonight\u201d \u2013 they cannot expect to realize the life of Christ or love or the socialist collective, terms which are interchangeable throughout the address. People are \u201cholding onto their money, and they want me to heal them, but as long as you hold on and want to have a treasure above someone else, you are <i>dying<\/i> because you\u2019re <i>living<\/i> in the carnal mind.\u201d A moment later, he is even more explicit: \u201cI could no more heal [the selfish] than a termite could heal them, because you get what you give. What you give is what you\u2019re gonna receive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The question-and-answer session allows Jones to outline his theology in a way that seems to have the newcomers to the church in mind. He parses the definition of \u201cprinciple\u201d \u2013 which he explicitly personifies as himself on other tapes, and more subtly on this one \u2013 as God, and God as love, and love as \u201capostolic communalism where there is <i>total<\/i> equality.\u201d In the same answer, he describes the principle as \u201cjust being the highest source of good or the highest <i>attainment<\/i> of good.\u201d Later he brings the answer back full circle, when he says, \u201cPrinciple is a recipe. The recipe today is total racial, social, and economic equality. The way to that recipe is love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jones equates God with Christ \u2013 \u201cGod has no meaning without Christ\u201d \u2013 and says that by referring to Christ as the hope of glory and as the anointed one, the Bible is actually acknowledging that Christ is a revolutionary, and that, as Jones says later, by \u201cset[ting] us free from the law of sin and death,\u201d Christ is standing up to \u201cthe enmity against the principle, the capitalistic mind, the selfish mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">That equating of God and Christ provides a foundation for Jones\u2019 renunciation of John 3:16 (\u201cFor God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life\u201d). A father who sacrifices his son \u2013 especially for evil doers \u2013 \u201cwould be less than love,\u201d Jones says. He then turns to other scripture \u2013 Christ\u2019s words that he and the father are one \u2013\u00a0to demonstrate \u201cwhat was actually the case, and has to be the case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jones offers several alternatives to the spiritual considerations of an unseen God. One of the alternatives is extraterrestrial. Quoting both Paul in Corinthians and two Hebrew Bible prophets as his authority, Jones says, \u201cWe have been visited from time to time by saviors from outer space.\u201d The Ark of the Covenant is proof, he says. People \u201cdied from some electronic power\u201d when they touched it, because it was a monitoring device from a spaceship. Eventually, the Ark lifted and disappeared, as a spaceship would.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">The less spiritual definition of God allows Jones\u2019 dismissal of John 3:16 to return in another form. Again, using the Bible as the source for his authority, Jones answers a question about God living on earth by emphasizing that tangible presence. \u201cThere never was a God anyplace else <i>but<\/i> on Earth. Never was any other place.\u201d When the questioner replies that God is on earth now, Jones answers, \u201cAnd always was.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">His declaration of personal divinity is somewhat coy in the minutes that follow, though, perhaps because there were a number of strangers in the congregation. When the same woman says God\u2019s name is Jim Jones, he answers, \u201cI\u2019ve always said, let your life so shine that men will see your good works and glorify your Father. Now you\u2019ve projected that Jim Jones is God.\u201d The rest of the answer \u2013 citing his miracles \u2013 does nothing to dispel her assertion, but doesn\u2019t overtly confirm it. He gives a similar reply later in the service \u2013 \u201cPeople can only speak for what works for them. And as you think in your mind, so are you. If in your mind you think you behold God, then you behold God. If in your mind, you think you just see an ordinary man, then you\u2019ll see an ordinary man\u201d \u2013 but then, as before, he continues with the things he can do that an ordinary man can\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Jones goes out of his way to differentiate between love and sex. Love has positive attributes, he says \u2013 \u201clove <i>gives<\/i>, love <i>sacrifices<\/i>, love <i>does<\/i> what the other person needs\u201d \u2013 as opposed to sex. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing farther from love than sex. Sex is animalism, sex is sensuality, sex is narcissism.\u201d The belief followed Jones to Guyana, where he often spoke of sex as \u201csick love games\u201d which are counter-revolutionary in that they distract the people who play those games from reaching their fullest potential.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">He also differentiates between people whose sole claim to religiosity is that they are born again, as opposed to people who actually do the work that Christ commands his followers to do. Describing people in the Baptist and Pentecostal churches as \u201cthe worst racists\u2026 the worst bigots\u2026 the most selfish,\u201d Jones adds, \u201cThey think that all they have to do is to put it in Jesus\u2019 hands and say a few little prayers on Sabbath or Sunday and it\u2019ll take care of it.\u201d But if you truly take on Jesus, you have to accept him in all of his parts, including the giving and sacrifice that love\/God\/socialism\/principle requires. Concluding one of his answers, he cries, \u201cit isn\u2019t just enough to get Jesus and swallow him on Sunday and think you\u2019ll spit him out on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Later in the service, Jones welcomes those who stand and introduce themselves. One woman testifies how her faith in Jim Jones \u2013 by holding his picture through the medical ordeal of her infant great-grandson \u2013 saved the boy\u2019s life. Jones follows up by saying that the picture has been responsible for 38,000 documented miracles, including cancer cures, extinguished fires, and drownings that didn\u2019t happen. As for Peoples Temple itself, he notes, there have been more than 460 times that year in which people have been resurrected from death, including people who were already dead when they were brought into the church. \u201cThe love that is in me, by people orientating or focusing upon that, we\u2019ve had had no death, no death.\u2026 No death in our family \u2013 the mother church \u2013 for years. No death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">This facility is an extension of the Temple\u2019s recognition of the power of the mind. He speaks of holy men who can stop their own hearts or slow their own breaths or regulate the flow of blood within their own bodies. He tells of hypnotists who can persuade someone that a pencil is a hot poker, and when it touches them, it leaves a burn. He speaks of people who can move an object merely by concentrating on it. This is the mind control he urges his followers to embrace.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">\u201cThe power of mind,\u201d he says near the tape\u2019s end. \u201c[I]f you think positively through the emphasis of a positive aura, to one who has that positivism metabolized to such a degree that it\u2019s a part of their very being, like it is mine, it can stir up a creativity in you that will save you from things that everyone else in the whole human race will have to undergo\u2026 If you think positively and unselfishly, then you come to the nature of God, you come to the sweet garden of Eden, you come to the holiness of an advanced utopia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">A few moments later, he has turned that call into a political message: \u201c[U]se your mind control with the <i>center<\/i> control that I have and all of our minds together will bring a revolution,\u201d he says to cheers and applause as the tape ends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><b>FBI Summary:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Date of transcription: 7\/3\/79<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J.
