Jim Jones's Healings

Once he had followers, Jim Jones directed attention from his healing powers towards his communist agenda. Things of individual people became less common. Instead, Jones said he wanted to heal society. He told his congregation that living a life of God required something of them. They needed to feed the hungry, take care of the sick, and donate their possessions to create economic equality. Only then would they become more godlike. When it came to followers, he cared about quantity more than quality. A small group with little funding could not achieve his dreams of a socialist Eden.
