She advised
that regarding
any written
oaths made
by members
of
the
PT that
she must
have signed
hundreds
and hundreds
of
blank
pieces
of
paper
while
at
the
PT in
San Francisco,
and
in
Jonestown. Members,
including herself,
were also
required to
sign
confessions
admitting that
they
molested their
own children,
to having
committed murders
and
other
crimes. This
was done
as
a test
of
loyalty
to
the Reverend
JONES. l{!
Reverend JONES
had body
guards that
were
armed.
They included
TIM JONES,
JIMMY JONES,
CALVIN DOUGLAS,
JOE
WILSON, and
JOHNNY coaaf-u!
There
was
a security
force at
Jonestown and
it
was used
for internal
policing. Reverend
JONES first
claimed
tha the
security force
was for
defensive reasons,
to
defend
the camp
from the
Guyana Government
forces. He
later claimed
that the
security force
was to
guard
the
camp against
an
invasion from Venezuela. ] !
In reality,
the security
force was
used
to
prevent
escapes from
Jonestown and
to enforce
Reverend JONES
rigid
standard
of
discipline.
All during
the night
security guards
patrolled the
perimeter
of
the
camp. These
guards carried
weapons. They
carried shotguns
and they
carried rifles
with scopes.
These weapons
were
in
clear
view and
no attempt
was made
to
conceal
them
from
the view
of
camp
residents.
Many were
equipped with
straps
and
carried
on the
backs
of
the
guards. In
addition
to
patrolling
the perimeter
of
the
camp, the
security forces
also made
bed checks
during
the night.
The security
forces had
informers among
the
ranks
of
the
PT and
it was
not uncommon
for one's
own family
member or
spouse
to
turn one
in to security. ! }
The following
peo le
were considered
to
be
members
of
the security force
