Jim Jones was a great person, and he convinced so many people that he was doing amazing things in the community. He united the races, and combated the racist attitude which may have lingered within members. He supported the poor and elderly people in the community. The people in his congregation were very well looked after, and people began to see him as a sort of role model to them. The congregation often referred to him as "dad" and they believed in his vision until the bittersweet end. A note from one woman who drank the Flavor Aid was later found on his body, calling him “Dad,” and concluding with, “Thank you for the only life I’ve known." He adopted those people adopted children of all colors, hard worker, lived in modest circumstances, didn’t have his own limo no matter how successful, never made fun of anyone, took care of business but was inclusive of the youngest to oldest, newest to oldest member all the time. This man, who is seen as a villain today, was so widely respected and immortalized because of his indisputable kindness and charisma. He provided them with so much which ultimately led to unimaginable loyalty and trust to this man, such as a child honors that of a parent. These people were betrayed by the actions of their hero, their role model but they cannot be blamed for entrusting such faith in him, as he misled them to believe him to be a demigod, perfect in so many ways and what he said. What he told them to do was truly thought to be the right thing to do.
