Jim Jone citations

James Warren Jones dit Jim Jones est le fondateur et pasteur du groupe religieux d'inspiration protestante : le « Temple du Peuple » dont il a fait le siège d'une lutte pour l'égalité raciale et la justice sociale qu'il appela « socialisme apostolique » et dont la communauté établie au Guyana a parfois été considérée, à l'origine, comme un projet agricole communiste avant d'être le lieu d'un massacre et finalement désignée comme l'archétype de la secte dangereuse.

Jim Jones est à l'origine d'une des dérives religieuses les plus connues de l'Histoire ayant provoqué un traumatisme à l'échelle mondiale. Sa communauté connut une fin tragique le 18 novembre 1978 à Jonestown où 908 personnes périrent par ingestion de cyanure de potassium ou assassinat. Wikipedia
