- We're going to put a cap - for now - on our series about sects, cults, and bizarre expressions of Christianity by looking at the cult-iest of all cults - and the granddaddy of all narcissistic, power-hungry, pieces of skubalon that ever existed! His name was Jim Jones, and his "church" was the People's Temple. From his humble and twisted beginnings in Indiana to orchestrating the largest human massacre of its time in Guyana, this guy's rise to power and reign of terror is unprecedented and almost unfathomable! How did he coerce 900 people to follow him to a remote location in the jungle - set up a delusional commune - and then exercise such a level of mind control that they all committed "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced Flavor Ade? That's what we are exploring in today's episode. Join us if you dare!
I can see it now he’s at a healing service thinking wow I can make the world a better place by scamming people in this fashion🤦🏼♀️
So very sad….the actual helicopter footage on some of the documentaries showing all the bodies laid out is so overwhelming😢…such a waste of so many precious human lives…so many children😕 I hope Jones has a special place of torment all his own for eternity (Lord forgive me🙏🏼)
This was the most shocking cult for me. Maybe because I watched as the events unfolded on the news and shortly after, there was a tv miniseries that did a good job of showing the horror. I never saw Powers Booth, who played Jim Jones, in another role that I didn’t think of Jim jones. You would think people would learn from what has happened in the past, but it just seems like a lot of people want something more than that “old time religion”. Look at Hillsong.
I have been to the Eiffel Tower, I was 18 and do not remember anything specific about the elevators🤷🏼♀️🤣

Don’t drink the cool aid!!😮noooooo
