5.0 out of 5 stars Misplaced Idealism, March 11, 2000
By Frances Nowve (California) - See all my reviews
Jeannie Mills was a big-hearted woman who would take people into her home at the drop of a hat. The People's Temple seemed to provide an avenue through which she could share her love of humanity. Needless to say, it was big mistake. Jones used her sterling qualities as he used the thousand or so others who joined his Temple. Mills tells a bizarre tale of cruelty, rip offs and insanity. Accepting the belief that self-sacrifice was more important than self-esteem, she and others gave up more and more to Jones' "cause" which turned out to be world domination for Jones (as he revealed to them). The book makes an interesting companion piece to Deborah Layton's book, "Seductive Poison." Too bad it's out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars God on Geary St., September 24, 2004
By Boyd Rice (denver, co.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I lived on the same street as Jim Jone's People's Temple, & I got a hell of a lot of warnings from relatives to steer well clear of the guy! Not like I cared--- I wasn't a Christian, a communist, or anyone even remotely susceptable to his message. Still, the warnings came. He seemed almost comedic in the news, in the Glide Church... then came the news of the deaths in Guyana. A week later a paperback was on the newstands in Safeway at Church St. & Market in SF. It was all very nuts. "Six Years With God" seems to be the most definative book... & the most lurid. What more can you ask for?

5.0 out of 5 stars Shocker!!, April 10, 2004
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
<<<Jeannie Mills, who with her husband, Al, defected from the temple in the fall of 1975. Jeannie Mills, her husband Al, and daughter Daphne were found murdered in their Berkeley home in 1980. Their murders are still unsolved."When you meet the friendliest people you have ever known, who introduce you to the most loving group of people you've ever encountered, and you find the leader to be the most inspired, caring, compassionate and understanding person you've ever met, and then you learn the cause of the group is something you never dared hope could be accomplished, and all of this sounds too good to be true-it probably is too good to be true! Don't give up your education, your hopes and ambitions to follow a rainbow."
Jeannie Mills>>>

Just as I got through reading this story, and posting my first review, I searched just a bit further, and found out that this woman and her family were mysteriously murdered. How horrible this is!! It may have been a ex-member of the cult that certainly was not deprogrammed. Please, let us protect ourselves and our families from such a horrible experience!
