...they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. Acts 17:11 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. Isaiah 8:20 "Whatever it is, I'm against it. No matter what it is or who commenced it, I'm against it." Groucho Marx, from Horse Feathers

40 years ago: A testimonial dinner that never took place
A testimonial fund-raising dinner in honour of former San Francisco Housing Authority chairman and Peoples Temple founder and leader Rev. Jim Jones was scheduled to be held in San Francisco. However, the gala, endorsed by 75 prominent leaders in support of this prominent Communist liberal social reformer, was cancelled two weeks before the scheduled date because of the guest of honour's permanent inability to appear at the event.
