BACKSTORY: We went to NYC for the first time ever to attend the SubGenius devival thrown by the GFY Clench. Amazingly, bus tickets were only $3 there, and $9 back. For more pictures and audio of the devival, check out the official page at www.subgenius.com/bigfist/fun/devivals/NYC-2010/3_NYC_DEV...
These well used boots belong to the very
talented New Mexican singer/songwriter/novelist Jim Jones.
His novel, Rustler's Moon was 2009 New Mexico Book awards finalist for best historical novel and best first book categories.
Of course he does a whole lot of other cool stuff too...including letting me photograph his riding boots!
Today the We're Here! gang is visiting the cult group.
Of course I'm going for the laugh here, but the Peoples Temple cult was no laughing matter, their leader Jim Jones was a nutter, and more than 900 people ultimately died in the horrific 1978 mass murder. You can read more about it here.

Matthew 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. 2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?
4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows. 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. 15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) 16 Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: 17 Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: 18 Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. 19 And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! 20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: 21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. 29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.
32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: 33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. 34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. 36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, 39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. 42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. 48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; 49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Revelation 16:12-16
12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

Quoted from above website:
“Miranda says hell does not exist;
Miranda says the devil has been destroyed;
Miranda says sin does not exist;
Miranda said he has done greater things then Jesus;
Miranda said “I am greater then Jesus.”
Jose Luis De Jesus Miranda is a nut case who claims to be Jesus Christ incarnate in modern times. The Word of God expressly states in Mark 13:21-22, “And then if any man shall say to you, Lo, here is Christ; or, lo, he is there; believe him not: For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” End of quote.

Claims to be end time witness mentioned in book of Revelation in the Bible:
Ron Weinland
In his second book, “2008 - God's Final Witness” Ronald Weinland declared:
“I am to announce, through God’s direct revelation, that I am one of those two witnesses. The other witness will be revealed to the world during the time of the great tribulation—within the final three and one-half years of man’s era” (Weinland, Ronald. 2008 - God's Final Witness. Copyright © 2006 by the-end.com, inc., Cincinnati. Published October, 2006, p.16). www.the-end.com/
On this website, Ron Weinland says that he and his wife, Laura, are the two end time witnesses in the Bible in the book of Revelation! Weinland’s two deceptive books, free upon request or in pdf format here:
Great article here:
"Concerns About Ronald Weinland's Church of God, Preparing for the Kingdom of God"
Yes, duplicity is on the loose, my friends! Beware! False lights are flowing out into the world in greater numbers, double minded, double tongued devils. Some alive and well NOW and pastors of churches like Miranda and Weinland! Just as Jesus foretold!
The bizarre story of the apocalyptic cult led by Rev.Jim Jones that resulted in the 1978 mass suicide of more than 900 in Jonestown, Guyana, all began here in San Francisco at this modest church located on Geary & Fillmore. Photograph taken Jan. 1979
Photographed at Leo J. Ryan Park in Foster City, Caifornia. The park was named for Leo Joseph Ryan, Jr. (1925–1978) was an American teacher and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, he served as the U.S. Representative from this district (California's 11th congressional) from 1973 until his assassination as part of the Jonestown massacre in 1978. Ryan was shot and killed in Guyana while investigating claims of people being held against their will by cult leader James Warren Jones (1931-1978) and his men at the Peoples Temple Jonestown settlement.

But allow me to quote the fun part, where Pastor Dennis Terry introduces Rick Santorum:
"I don't care what the liberals say, I don't care what the naysayers say, this nation was founded as a Christian nation...There is only one God and his name is Jesus. I'm tired of people telling me that I can't say those words.. Listen to me, If you don't love America, If you don't like the way we do things I have one thing to say - GET OUT. We don't worship Buddha, we don't worship Mohammad, we don't worship Allah, we worship God, we worship God's son Jesus Christ."
OK, first of all, Pastor, it isn't just liberals and "naysayers" who point out this country was not founded as a Christian nation, but also historians and the founding fathers themselves.
And who is telling you that you can't say "those words?" Nobody is telling you that. What they're doing is disagreeing with your philosophy, and you can't take that. I'm certainly not telling you what you can say, but I sure as hell am telling you that I have every right to disagree with you, and point out why I think you are wrong.
But I suppose your bible overrides the Constitution, and any logic and common sense I might express will be null if it doesn't correspond to a bible verse.
And now you're also saying I don't love this country if I'm not a Christian? I should GET OUT? Where should I go? I suppose it doesn't matter, because I'll eventually rocket my way up Satan's asshole as far as you're concerned. But how dare you say I have no love for this country simply because I don't believe like you do. How un-American of you.
Pastor Terry plays the victim here, but it is he who is clearly on the attack.
This is nothing more than a Christian hate speech, folks. But how many Christians will speak out against such talk? I know you're out there, you moderate, loving Christians, so why don't you say something? I need to hear from you.
Respect should come from actions, not professed faith. I can't respect any religion until the moderates, who I believe to be the majority of any religion, speak out against the fanatics. Until you do so, people like this arrogant, intolerant man will be seen as your leadership, your spokesperson. Is that what you really want? Is this how you want to be seen? Is this really your opinion?
If so, we have a serious problem, you and me.
Allow me to jump forward in the story for another quote:
“I know what’s in his heart. It’s the fact that he’s a Christian,” said Vickie Raabe, a 69-year-old Baptist…"
May I remind you that David Koresh was a Christian? What about Marshall Applewhite, or Jim Jones, or Pope Sixtus IV who aided the Spanish Inquisition? All those people where tortured and killed by Christians. But let's not even get into the Vatican's machinations. That would fill volumes.
Oh, but those Catholic priests who were molesting young children? Yep, you guessed it. Christian, every single one of them. The list goes on and on and on.
Being a Christian doesn't give you any special power to be a good person. It's time we abandoned that belief right now. For every decent Christian you can show me, I can show you a non-Christian who is every bit as good.
So I don't care what you say, Pastor Terry, and I won't try to stop you from saying it, but I will damn well assert my right to respond to you, to disagree with you, to debate you, all the while still loving the country I live in. I'm every bit as American as you are, and shame on you for inferring the opposite. If your Jesus is as hateful as you are, I want nothing to do with him.
For my own TRP day: Playing Dead. I figured if I'm going to die, I'm taking Chucho and the finfan and her kids with me. And who doesn't love Kool Aid? Mmmmm... Sweet dreams...

In Jonestown, looking east. People on December 1974 charter plane trip are inspecting Mr. Mugg's cage, the first residence in Jonestown. Jim Jones (in red) and Muggs are on his cage tethered together with visitors. In this background, the jungle can be seen.
Mr. Muggs (a chimpanzee) had been brought into Guyana on the charter plane, then by the Cudjoe to Port Kaituma. Mr. Muggs became the first resident to live in Jonestown. Settlers, who came earlier in the year, still resided in Matthews Ridge, as did the visitors for their short stay. Once residences were built, settlers left Matthews Ridge and moved into Jonestown.
Permission from California Historical Society required for use.

Looking east. People on charter airplane trip in December 1974 came to inspect Jonestown. Jim Jones at center (red shirt) as everyone looks at the first buildings built and being built.
To right is the banana shed, where all bananas were stored until ripe to eat and sell to locals. Building had troolie palm leaf sides and metal roof. No windows--rather openings--some of which had shutters.
People are in and next to the emerging skeleton of the main building: to come are the kitchen, dorms, showers, and living-dining room. It became the main kitchen and dining area of Jonestown.
Moving beyond the left side of photo is Mr. Muggs' cage--the first residence finished in Jonestown. Muggs was a chimpanzee who came to Jonestown with this charter plane.
Bearing left past Muggs' cage, was another small building. It became Jonestown's plant nursery. It was probably used by security people guarding the site and then guarding Mr. Muggs as well.
