||The infamous '''[[Jim Jones]]''' was responsible for the deaths of 909 men, women and children in Jonestown, Guyana on November 18, 1978.  Jim Jones preached a series of meetings with William Branham in 1956, and seems to have picked up on William Branham's phraseology relating to "[[The Message]]"  (refer to the transcript of the handwritten note below).  He was known as "Brother Jones" on the tapes, which have a number of "blank spots".  His '''mass murder-suicide in 1978''' could have also been the result of paranoia when his group of followers were not raptured in 1977.
