Jones Sanctuary

Jim Jones research blog. Adult (20s), non condoning. Discussions about Jim Jones live here. DO NOT INTERACT IF YOU ARE UNDER 18.

[jonesanctuary]

It took me a bit too long for this blog in my opinion, but here is another Jim Jones blog on the internet!

My thoughts and general opinions, as well as discussions on Jim will go here. General reblogs on Jim will go here too.

This blog is 18+, as per the subject matter. I do not want to interact with minors.

Antis, don't report - just block.

This blog will not discuss other true crime cases.

About me:

I am an adult woman (20s) and myself a socialist. I do not condone any of the harm Jim perpetrated toward his victims and have great compassion toward what they experienced. Personal thoughts and opinions, even (and especially) those that relate to Jim, are tagged with "sanctuaryspeaks". Posts where thirst is expressed are tagged "thirstag", just in case you need to block it.

While I admittingly find him physically attractive, I realize what he did was horrific and none of the people victimized by him deserved it. The harm he perpetrated toward his victims will be discussed here too. My thoughts on this exact aspect are discussed a little further here:

There's a lot of new people on here! If you are one of them, I bid you welcome.

Friendly reminder that blogs that are not 18+ get blocked immediately. This is for the safety of the person. This blog features adult oriented content and subjects.

I hope that this blog teaches you something new!

The Memos of Annie Moore

Linked below, the memos of Annie Moore - nurse to Jim and inner circle member, as well as sister of Carolyn Layton - are horrifying in a way that I have not seen expanded on.

Not for the faint of heart, Annie confesses to literally shaking Kimo (Carolyn's son) when he would not stop crying due to an ear infection, neglecting a child that had a fever to engage in a sexual tryst with another member of the community, and nearly killing Jim twice with her negligence - the most serious of which causing Jim to need to be revived by Stephan Jones.

The link below goes into detail, CW for extreme depictions of child neglect and vivid depictions of near death.

I've had some time to think about it, and even with the terrible things that Jim had done, I can't help but feel that almost no one closest to him had his best interest at heart. Jim was at the mercy of the inner circle in the end, and in my opinion, not fully in power. Not that this downplays any of the harm done by Jim to other people - nothing excuses that - but with "friends" like this, who needed enemies?

Jim was so paranoid about others drugging him and being attacked by the CIA and outer forces, when truly the largest harms being done to him were coming from inside of the house.

What a horrific end for everyone.

[jonesanctuary]

A reminder for all new here: this blog is strictly 18+ due to subject matter.

[jonesanctuary]

Fell back for a minute, tried to do the real life thing, Jim Jones is the remaining denominator however...

I'm back. But I lurked a lot, so I truly never left.

[jonesanctuary]

This post is a bit of a long time coming -

This blog is going on hiatus.

I have lost quite a bit of interest in Jim as a subject at the moment. The interest waxes and wanes - at times, it comes back strongly, and at others, the interest goes into a deep remission. I am in a period of remission currently.

I don't know when or if this blog will recieve future updates. At present, I have a hectic private life as well. In regards to the interest itself, I feel like I have nothing new or productive to add to the conversation surrounding Jonestown at present. I want conversation on Jim and the subject to be thought provoking, at least when I make long form posts here I do.

If I do have something new or productive to add to the conversation, I'll be right here again.

I came across this video and thought it was really rare, so I wanted to share it with you all.

In 1973, USC film school students Jim Ruxin and David Gottlieb asked Jim Jones if they could film within the Peoples Temple for a documentary. Jim agreed and let them film what they wanted and accorded them an interview, but only a few days later, he eventually changed his mind, and as shown above, told them they were ending it here.

JJ Sketch Dump #3

I've drawn way too many low-nutrient JJ pics...

↓Maybe it’ll be a little NSFW…? I don’t know.

MORE PLEASE!!

[brotherjonesie]

Please, I am begging you all, look at this image of Jim. There’s an audio tape where he says that he hates wearing shorts and yet here he is! Looking happy as can be in shorts!!

[jonesanctuary]

A beauty in shorts, for sure! 😍

[idkwhatname222]

I found two Jim drawings I did around mid last year.

[idkwhatname222]

If I’m remembering correctly, counting by the years, Jim has now been dead for about as long as he was alive.

[jonesanctuary]

He has been. Next year, he will have been dead longer than he has been alive. It's devastating, especially since he could have been so much more.

A fact about Jonestown today, for those who may not know: Did you know that they used to make toys?

Here are some of the stuffed animals they made on sale! Lovingly crafted by the congregation, these were called “Marcie Toys”, named after Marceline herself, and were sold to raise money for Jonestown’s creation. They were also given to children around Jonestown. Here’s an example of one, a bootlegged Mickey Mouse (credit to BombsOverDadBags3000 on Reddit for the incredible find! You can also see Mickey to the far left of the first photo)

And here’s a tag that was placed on these toys:

Here are some more pictures of the congregation, hard at work. No matter what happened in Jonestown, the pride and joy the people have in these photos are infectious. It was called Peoples Temple for a reason - Jim may have lead it, but the people were the heart and soul behind it.
