Temple Workers - The Work of Jim Jones

People from all walks of life were attracted to the positive lifestyle and optimistic worldview promoted by the temple. By 1973, there were 2,570 people's temple members across America. Some members became full-time workers for the church, to help with the endless duties and chores required to maintain their growing community. Jones melded these separate, often conflicting groups into one cohesive group of supporters, not under God, but under socialism.
