| The 60s drug culture, claimed peace and love as its basis. That was not true. It's more closely related to evil and irresponsibility. |
Facts are slowly trickling out about
the horrible act.
As information leaks out, we can ask
God to please let those with open hearts and minds take note of
the danger posed by commonly accepted practices of the worldly.
First, we leaned that Jones' wife of 10
years, Amber Jones 28, had been accused of an improper relationship
with a 19-yer-old neighbor. She had also been accused of neglecting
her children in a DSS complaint, before the Joneses divorced.
Interim Lexington County Sheriff Lewis
McCarty, called Amber Jones, who did not have custody of her
children, a “very sweet lady.”
On Wednesday, Jones' father, Tim Jones
Sr. warned people not to make a judgment on his son.
"He is not the animal that he will be
portrayed through the media,” Jones Sr. said. “Our little Tim a
very loving father, brother and son.”
Tim Jones Jr., the Lexington transplant
form a suburb of Chicago was arrested in Mississippi on Saturday and
had drug-related paraphernalia in his vehicle. He seemed to be under
the influence of drugs, police said. Police found blood and childrens clothes in his SUV.
Jones Jr. when he was 19, was arrested
for a cocaine possession charge in March of 2001, in Illinois. Later that year he was charged with stealing a car,
burglary and passing forged checks, according to criminal records in Illinois. Jones has also been discharged, early from the Navy
Tim Jones Sr., admitted his son had a criminal record, but he made light of it.
“Typical teenager doing stupid stuff,
that's about it," Tim Jones Sr. told the Associated Press from
his home in Amory, Mississippi.
Tim Jones Jr. had a wife who allegedly
fooled around. He had a penchant for illegal drugs and a father that
seems to be delusional. There may be a picture developing here before
our eyes.
Of course, nothing can explain why Tim
Jones killed his precious five children, unless he is the Devil
himself.
But there is no mention of any church
in his life, his father seems out-of-touch with reality, and there is
no accountability aimed at the mother of the children. Tim Jones vowed mate for life, seemed to
be devoted to her personal pursuits, more than tending to the welfare
of her children.
When media fails to lay out the secular
and pop culture items that surrounded Tim Jones, it is no wonder that
it is difficult to fit all the pieces together.
All of the societal diseases that oft-ridiculed social conservatives rail against were prevalent in
Jones' life before he murdered his five children.
Until we focus on the rot of our
culture, and are honest about the danger, without apologies, why should we not expect to
see more Tim Joneses?
