PTMer

PTMer is a term used to describe a person who is a member of the People's Temple, a religious group founded by Jim Jones in the United States in the 1950s. The People's Temple was known for its emphasis on communal living, social justice, and the teachings of the Black Messiah, a figure believed by the group to be the reincarnation of Jesus Christ. The group gained significant media attention and criticism for its controversial practices and beliefs.

The People's Temple is most famously associated with the Jonestown massacre, which occurred on November 18, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana. In this event, approximately 900 members of the People's Temple, including many children, were killed by Jim Jones and other members of the group. The massacre was a tragic and controversial event that led to widespread condemnation of the group and its leader.

The term "PTMer" is often used to refer to individuals who were members of the People's Temple, regardless of their involvement in the Jonestown massacre. It is important to note that not all PTMers were involved in the massacre, and many were innocent victims of the group's teachings and practices. The term is also used to refer to individuals who may have been influenced by the People's Temple's beliefs and teachings, even if they were not formal members of the group.
