yes, the leaders rather take all cult members with them and also people trying to save the cult members.

My family members have told me about Aunt Natlee in San Francisco during the Jim Jones era. Aunt Natlee was a member of the cult and although many cult members gave up all their monies and property to Jim Jones, Aunt Natlee did keep her home.

They tried to talk her out of joining Jim Jones to Guyana. She got to the airport ready to get on the plane, and her family stopped her and brought her back home.

Aunt Natlee never forgot what her family did, they saved her life and she was grateful until she died.
