Makes me remember about some "contemporary" guru who's famous now days... Creepy and scary, but somehow too many people love him despite of being suspected of killing his wife, do you know who am I talking about?
Agreed I have seen the the TV series Visitors in the 80’s. Turns out they was a reptilian alien race in human form, desired to consume human flesh and steal our resources, they had wear sunglasses, because our sun hurt their eyes.
@@dpounder101 Well, it failed with my family. We left within minutes of people starting to call him Jesus & claiming he’d healed them. Never went back. And then the news came out years later about Jonestown, Guyana. The horror of that…
A lot of commentators of this video don’t understand how Jones had his impact. He had an integrated church, was helping senior citizens, getting drug addicts clean. Faith healers have always been suspect, but he was doing a lot more. Seeing such tangible results is what made people believe in Jones. He was politically connected. He was a self proclaimed social justice warrior. A lot of people wanted what he was offering.
He recruited the simple-minded, the desperate and the well-meaning, all of which there were many at that time. The fact he was shamelessly exploiting minorities didn't matter to his political allies at the time but that's the Democrats for you.
Joey Bigler Got any evidence that these were “Nazi” rallies or are you just another of these easily programmed morons, brainwashed by the mainstream media propaganda machine? You don’t even realise, you’ve been so taken in by 4 years of relentless media disinformation, you’re someone who would’ve been a prime target for a con-artist like Jones.
I got the chills multiple times watching these poor impressionable people believe they are seeing God's miracles right before their eyes. So sad. And the people he "healed" probably just wanted to believe it so bad that in the moment the placibo effect took control. Powerful stuff.
He’s a good preacher. You can’t talk about this preacher that way. He’s a great preacher, and he preaches just like Reverend James Cleveland. Reverend Jim Jones he is a good preacher, and if he was alive today I would’ve went to his church.
It´s a shame how people take advantage of someone´s belief. Jesus had the power of heeling but he didn´t order his followers to commit suicide. On the contrary, he sacrificed himself for others on the cross. Lunático
naknobaboc it wasn’t a Suicide it was mass murder. But yes some of the followers willingly took the “drink” but if you research more you will see that a good amount of the people where forced to drink it. Some of the followers where told that they where gonna get killed if they didn’t take it and some of them where held down and it was injected into them. So not all of it was Suicide but some of it was.
Jesus said that if you didn’t hate your own life, you were not worthy of him. He said to pick up your cross and follow him. Look at the attack on massada. Or the story in Maccabees.
Jones version may of Christianity may have been corrupted, But Christianity itself was plagiarized from earlier religions. On the healing, note how many times in the bible is one admonished to pray and it will be answered (without qualification). How many quadriplegics who prayed to walk again were healed? How many amputees had limbs restored?
In the in the beginning he did preach right but that power went to his head and the drugs and the healings Real Lies don't worry Jim Jones will be responsible for everything he did fooling those people in the committing suicide and mass murder
@@patrickbutas2666 Dude, Jim Jones was a Marxist, he never believed in Jesus or god. He blatantly admitted that he infiltrated the church to spread his Marxism.
@@JudasBenPesach Exactly, He preached Christianity in the beginning simply to lure in parishioners. After a while, his sermons began to change to his true meaning. He revealed in the 70s that he was an atheist and hated the bible, calling it the enemy. He NEVER was a Christian.
Yeah, look at Trump, in Plain Sight, how many crimes has he committed, In plain Sight, why hasn't he been arrested? This video should be sent 2 D U.S. Justice Dept & D question should B asked, When R U going 2 Arrest Donald Trump before America has another Jonestown, but this time in the USA!
What's even more crazy is in other sermons of his, he blatantly bashes the bible, calls it all lies and says there is no such thing as heaven. It's up to us to make it here because we are all a god..according to what jim Jones preached.
mary young I think you might be right. I’ve seen the pics of her in documentaries and online and I think it’s actually her. Interesting that they would get such a shot of her like this even tho it was quick. The look on her face makes me think so many deep thoughts, such a strong person she was to stand up to him in those last moments. Very sad story.
That was Christine Miller.. the lady that stood up to jones on the last recording tape and told him that she didn’t want to die, the babies deserved to live & that it was way too many ppl to kill.
The people were sincere in their faith and I'm sure that they found the holy spirit. Jim Jones was a wolf in sheeps clothing and unfortunately feed on their energies until death.
Bullshit. After a while they knew Jones was a socialist Atheist. and still followed him. Everyone who went to Jonestown fully understood at that point what he stood for, and it was NOT spiritual at all.
Truly if this people knew God's will, they would have not been deceived. These people were too young in spirit to discern the wolf before them; that, or there were never born of the spirit to begin with, or both. Sweetness and sugar mixed with the lack of knowledge of God's will drove this people to there unknowing demise. Nonetheless there judgement as been sealed, all we can do is hope that most of these people pass the judgement of God, I don't know his Judgement, I can't know, and I will never know his judgement till that day and hour comes. But surely the children, the children belong to God.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this congregation was not with the holy spirit, light does not dwell with darkness! This people were drunk on demons as the wolf grinned and spat out venom from his mouth!
I believe this was at the Los Angeles Peoples Temple. What a lot of people don’t understand is that Jones had already disavowed Christianity by 1972. Socialism was Jones’ ideology and he viewed religion as a way to bring people in. At the same time of this video, Jones was also regularly preaching atheism and socialism in San Francisco. You can look those videos up, he is usually wearing sunglasses in them. He changed his preachings to appease the crowd in whatever context, location he was in.
@@Nhnhnfk thank you. Making people Marxists or Leninist via religion is total non sense. It's literally a point of both to accept that religions are only there to manipulate the people and have to be abolished
The crazy idea for me, is that Jim Jones was really able to unite people beyond their race, in a time period that had racial conflict. That is so interesting and to me, it’s some kind of power to unite people like that.
Jonestown fascinated me since I'm 16. The more I read about it the more I figure Jones was not a con man. He had this ability to unite people and tried to use it for good purpose but over time his ego grew bigger and bigger and he lost control. That s the true danger of power and in a way power is like a demon who is constantly tempting you
Jeffrey Kaufmann Utter nonsense. Does not compare to the likes of Churchill, Martin Luther King or Hitler. Sounds uncannily like Mr Donald Trump if truth be told.
Lawrence Hannon Obviously he had a huge, enthusiastic following many of who died to do his bidding due to his “charisma” and ability to “speak” to people even if what he said was nonsense.
@@lawofaverages5373 He kinda does compare to them actually. He actually studied Hitler's speeches and learned from them and those who survived the massacre said he was up there with King in the way he spoke. He's nothing like Trump. He's way more convincing than Trump is. What he said was utter drivel, the way he said it and convinced people of it was something else.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 he was not one of the greatest orators, but manipulators of all time. In this video, he even calls on Jesus' power and praises him, that strenghtened his manipulation even more. The Evil always uses Good if it wishes to go a long way. Like Nazis and Bolsevics promised to people many good things in the beginnings, so did Jim Jones. Ultimate evil cannot develop without using a lots of elements of Good for its cause.
About 30 years ago, I did my 7th grade topic paper on Jim Jones and the mass suicide in Guayana. I didn't even know what it was at the time. I stumbled upon the images of all the dead bodies while scrolling through some microfilm and decided at the last minute this was a good topic to write a rushed essay, which I did in about two hours. Strangely, after all this time between that first essay and now, I believe this is the first time I have actually heard Jim Jones' voice. PS: as a professional screenwriter today, I still almost always wait for the last minute to meet my deadlines.
Why do you think you do that? Are you lazy or dont ideas come or do you just not like writing the script as much as thinking about it and how do u deal with it?
@@ActionableFreedom I like to allow the ideas to marinate with as much time as possible, to give them richer layering and weaving with the surrounding ideas, if that makes sense. Just making stuff up by the seat of your pants without thoughtful (and heartful) integration into the story, almost always seems contrived and amateur, though lots of young writer wannabes can't see this. That's with my own stuff, on spec. With others' material -- directors and producers wanting polish and rewrites and ghostwrites, which is most of my work--I do it very quickly, without much thought. I think the difference is that I don't have any emotional connection to their material and so it is easier to make decisions for stories. I love the writing of the actual script the most. But that is the icing on the cake. The real work is the story discovery and composition, and that can take years: notes, research, soul searching, more notes, brainstorming, angle-gaming, etc.... Without that groundwork and legwork up front, I can almost guarantee your stories fall flat and thin. Embrace the unknown, which is where all the great ideas hide.
lol she didn't need glasses no matter what. it was confirmed Jones hired all the people he "healed" and none of them were actually sick or disabled in the first place.
8:57 Is that Christine Miller? Parts of this film were used for the PBS doc, but never saw the whole thing. Most of these people seem like they believe it; they were either brainwashed or afraid to dissent or both.
Yes there is some surviving Audio/Visual record of the People's Temple that was used in the PBS Special. This is the whole video that was only shown in part in the PBS documentary.
The thing with Jones is, he claimed to be all things to all men. If you were inclined to religious belief, he sought to convince you he had miraculous healing powers. If you were inclined to politics, he'd talk about racism and other ills affecting society. Quite a few people (especially well-educated young adults) in the Temple didn't take Jones' religious stuff absolutely seriously, but still thought he was an extraordinary person and that it was okay if Jones lied because of all the good he was said to be doing. Jones explicitly defended "the ends justify the means" as an approach to morality. He'd admit to his closest associates that he would stage faith healings, but argued it was necessary because otherwise older or more conservative-minded folks wouldn't care about his socialistic message otherwise.
Unbeleviable... I'm just reading 'The road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple' and I must say, that this [hi]story is better than a lot of fictional books (though a bit terryfing...)
@@communitygardener17 I read this and it was very thorough book. Tim goes back and forth between the People's temple, the history of some people like Congressman Ryan, the Stoen family and what their legal issues were like trying to get John back, almost everything. I did feel that some areas were rushed..like Tim Carter's discussion with Gloria not expounded upon as Tim describes it, the beatings of Stanley Clayton not being mentioned, etc. Because with some documentaries, there were things I never knew happened because they were not covered in Tim's book. I suppose "Raven" by Tim Reitermann and "The Road to Jonestown" by Jeff Guinn are probably, as a duel, the best books about the subject. I recommend both for anyone who is interested in a very in depth look at this strange time in history.
It is amazing how a great orator like Jim Jones can give people so much hope. Giving people hope is a great thing in a world where we all die and face judgement, as long as the leader doesn't murder his followers and give them an early death. Our time of death is in God's hands, not another person's . Too bad he let such great oratory and leadership skills go to waste.
I am approaching 60years in just a couple months from now and the thought of getting old is scary as heck when you're living alone. Nevertheless, I see how easy it must of been to have desires of wanting to join this church affiliated with Jones here you have at least 95% Afro American membership led by a white preacher blacks loved and adore this man unfortunately I was only 15years at the time but I liked and lived for pentecostal church services..we had church and worship from sun up to sun down....and oh my God...it's almost as frightening to think had i been living in Los Angeles, CA during this time...I know I would have thoughts of joining it just seems so peaceful back then people were seriously worshipping and praising God I was seriously fascinated by Jesus back in those days and God only knows i loves pentecostal church services . i don't know as I view this video... it's so much I could say about this video it just looked like happier times then I don't know it's just all bittersweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@IAmThe_RAhi dear thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions 🙏🙏 every now and then I reflect back on what occurred back in 1978 in Guyana and wonder to myself how did something like worshipping and fellowshiping go so horribly wrong where all the members end up dead 😢😢😢Ooh my gracias God I can hardly fathom the dreadful news I made a decision to follow Jesus Christ long ago but unfortunately somewhere along the way I went astray but I guess Jesus loves me now ❤️❤️❤️
"Ask yourself what would someone have to tell you or do to you to get you to do something you didn't think you were capable of and examine that. Learn from it. Don't judge it. Don't stand separate from it. Be willing to stand in the shoes of the people you're judging." -Stephan Gandhi Jones, Jim Jones's son
@misa smith He was kind of a Pentecostal preacher. He never claimed that he is not Christian anymore. In his final speech, he said, "Take our life from us. We laid it down. We got tired."
@@Englishsea24was all a work...the woman in the wheelchair worked for him. The woman with the numb fingers fake.. to the old black woman who imaginarily had some kind of pain all in on it with jones.
5:01 - This scene in particular makes me want to reach out to Jim Carey, cause he does a look that looks like him, and if anyone could play Jim Jones, it would be him. I'd love to have him watch this, cause I think he'd want to do it, especially if a good director made it.
My father was a methodist missionary out in the West Indies where I was raised. All this is weirdly familiar. This is a world before the internet…and hundreds of channels on tv…before social media…. This was were like minded souls and friends met, loved…felt good for a while… Apart from the theatrics and carnival there is something beautiful here…they had no idea what they were walking into.
I do not feel sorry for adults because they are fools. I'm sorry because of children who had no choice and they were killed by their parents. Psychol and demon.
I feel sorry for them all. The adults were just as blinded at first. I feel bad that they all went through something that had made them lose faith. Feel awful that our country and world did not, (still does not), display enough love an equality for one another- therefore making them run to the first person who promises it. But I feel worse for the people who made this country so divided and evil. That evil and need to divide is what made a lot of these people buy Jim Jones story of building a peaceful, normal community. No crying, no hate, no fighting. Shame on them for being tricked by another man into believing they had a safe, stable and loving community of people to start a family and have children in. The survivors all have said that being in that place with their fellow friends were the best years of their lives because the conncetion they'd built with each other. It's not their fault Jones had his own hidden agenda. Jones was just as weak or wounded as these people had been. But these people looked for comfort and love to heal them...he looked to destroy and over power others to make his wounds heal. I feel worse for him and people like him though bc God will have no mercy on their evil
Stop calling them demons, they all knew what they were doing. Jones was a radical Communist, they all participated in this ane even gave their allegiance to the soviet union.
Jhonni j same here, I would like to go back in time to this place, day and to have the mind I own now, pretend to be involved but secretly observe everybody’s insanity
paul iblis I agree with you that many were putting on a facade to try and survive, I have no doubt that they were frightened right to their very core. but I do honestly believe that there were few who did go along with this craziness
I wrote another comment. I don't know what happened but it got deleted. But what I was trying say was that this was all recorded in Guyana inside their armed compound. There was no chance of leaving. So if by any chance if you end up in there you would probably be killed in the mass suicide.
paul iblis right, nice bit of info. I still do believe that there were people who really did believe in this stuff. Through documentaries I’ve seen from survivors, the reason they’ve fled and their family members haven’t has often been down to the fact that they saw the madness, but their family/friends became intertwined within the madness
Looking at how these people black and whites rejoicing in unity and in one accord in the spirit of GOD would have been enough for me to join this kinda fellowship oh my god just the camaraderie in the room is exceedingly GREAT most definitely intrigued I don't know I just 14 years of age when this video was recorded I would have been easily lured and easily persuaded too partake and participate in this type of fellowship but once he flung the holy bible across the room and said there was no God I believe that is when I would have walked away and leave the church completely 😢😢😢
he would have "spotters" who got the stories of those he would call on. This method is completely debunked because to this day, psychics attempt to claim to speak to the dead, or know things about you they possible cannot know. It's all a deceptive trick.
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness. Matthew 7:21-23 Christianity is genuine. The people who use their gifts for their personal agenda are what gives Christianity a bad name. This verse clearly says that the people who will plead with Jesus on the judgement day were certainly gifted with powers in their hey day to prophecy, heal, drive out demons and perform various forms of miracles but Jesus did not know them. Dang, if Lucifer can fall, what is mortal man but we have the option to repent. Keep the Faith and eyes on Jesus at all times.
With the exception of the wise and great Sister Christine Miller giving him the "You ain't nothing and you ain't gone never be nothing" look, this whole video was the most ridiculous thing I'd ever seen. SMH.
0:54, 08:56 Is that Christine Miller? If this is true it would be a strange coincidence. She was the one who objected against the mass killing in Jonestown.
Jim jones missed his true calling im sorry.. the man loved women was an amazing charismatic leader and most importantly a professional habitual liar.. sound familiar enough? Looks like a congressman to me.
Then why has it been so easy for Americans to follow Trump? Jim Jones is not the first, Cults have existed for decades! All U have to do is energize people & use it for bad!
I know he was a con artists, cult leader ext but how or what did he do to “cure” people from their disabilaties or cancer can someone explain it its still very crazy to me and I've watched several things on him
Theatrics, he used chicken gizzard when people were supposedly spitting up the cancer. I read somewhere that they drugged a lady, while she was out they put a cast on her when she woke up they told her she fell and passed out. Then they cut the cast of in a church session and she started walking. 😂 Obviously in most instances, they planted their people for their charades. It's all carnival tricks.

Peoples Temple truly had the potential to be something big and powerful and wonderful for change in the world and yet for whatever reason Jones went the other way
Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?'
Why are so many people saying follow Trump, I will Vote for him Again? Then you know why those folks were able to follow a Cult leader. Americans are following Cult leaders right now!!
The problem.. Christ wasn’t the center, wasn’t the message.. JJ was the central figure. 2 Corinthians 11:14 Authorized (King James) Version 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

So look up the video of the family members and Congress visiting Guyana. Some interesting footage if you haven't seen them alreadt
Look how gullible and credulous the poor mass looked at him with so much anticipation and believe. I see how easily they could be lured into the 1978 massacre. Sad story ⛔️😔
I think it's interesting how the 70's cult mentality that was once religious is now idealistic. You have the trans cults, the political (left or right cult), the drug cults like weed and so on. You have movie franchise cults (maybe a little less threatening) but are nonetheless a cult. Then you have Disney cults (scariest of them all).

joe biden …
0:54 That woman's look is priceless. She must've sensed this man's evil intentions....
I was thinking that maybe that was Christine Miller.
mary young I think you might be right. I’ve seen the pics of her in documentaries and online and I think it’s actually her. Interesting that they would get such a shot of her like this even tho it was quick. The look on her face makes me think so many deep thoughts, such a strong person she was to stand up to him in those last moments. Very sad story.
That was Christine Miller.. the lady that stood up to jones on the last recording tape and told him that she didn’t want to die, the babies deserved to live & that it was way too many ppl to kill.
Lol I thought the exact same thing
Vegas Summer her look is very foreboding. it's as if her future self, who confronted Jones on that last day, is there with her at 0:54
The people were sincere in their faith and I'm sure that they found the holy spirit.
Jim Jones was a wolf in sheeps clothing and unfortunately feed on their energies until death.
Bullshit. After a while they knew Jones was a socialist Atheist. and still followed him. Everyone who went to Jonestown fully understood at that point what he stood for, and it was NOT spiritual at all.
Truly if this people knew God's will, they would have not been deceived.
These people were too young in spirit to discern the wolf before them; that, or there were never born of the spirit to begin with, or both. Sweetness and sugar mixed with the lack of knowledge of God's will drove this people to there unknowing demise.
Nonetheless there judgement as been sealed, all we can do is hope that most of these people pass the judgement of God, I don't know his Judgement, I can't know, and I will never know his judgement till that day and hour comes.
But surely the children, the children belong to God.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this congregation was not with the holy spirit, light does not dwell with darkness! This people were drunk on demons as the wolf grinned and spat out venom from his mouth!
Sincere my ass the were fuckin stupid and could not think for themselves, its best they didnt makeit.
The only good thing out of this people were brought together black and white
I believe this was at the Los Angeles Peoples Temple. What a lot of people don’t understand is that Jones had already disavowed Christianity by 1972. Socialism was Jones’ ideology and he viewed religion as a way to bring people in. At the same time of this video, Jones was also regularly preaching atheism and socialism in San Francisco. You can look those videos up, he is usually wearing sunglasses in them. He changed his preachings to appease the crowd in whatever context, location he was in.
Yes ma'am you are so right. He used the Church as a springboard for his Marxist/Leninist ideology.
Actually renounced Christianity long before then. In the late 50's I believe, certainly by the early 60's. He was a Marxist who wanted to BE God.
Whatever twisted form of atheism or socialism he preached, it was neither atheism nor socialism but an excuse to make himself God to these people.
what in the rat fuck are you talking about?
@@Nhnhnfk thank you. Making people Marxists or Leninist via religion is total non sense. It's literally a point of both to accept that religions are only there to manipulate the people and have to be abolished
The crazy idea for me, is that Jim Jones was really able to unite people beyond their race, in a time period that had racial conflict. That is so interesting and to me, it’s some kind of power to unite people like that.
Jonestown fascinated me since I'm 16. The more I read about it the more I figure Jones was not a con man. He had this ability to unite people and tried to use it for good purpose but over time his ego grew bigger and bigger and he lost control. That s the true danger of power and in a way power is like a demon who is constantly tempting you
@@hervederinel262 Nah, he was a con man, but an extremely skilled and ambitious con man.
Yeah but he united them with deceit. The Bible say Jesus had no deceit in him
@@DripCaptain How do you know that Bible statement in itself isn't deceit?
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure.
Who can understand it?
It’s so sad that this happy, enthusiastic group with Jones as their preacher devolved into what was the Jonestown massacre😥
One of the greatest orators of all time
Jeffrey Kaufmann Utter nonsense. Does not compare to the likes of Churchill, Martin Luther King or Hitler.
Sounds uncannily like Mr Donald Trump if truth be told.
Lawrence Hannon Obviously he had a huge, enthusiastic following many of who died to do his bidding due to his “charisma” and ability to “speak” to people even if what he said was nonsense.
@@lawofaverages5373 He kinda does compare to them actually. He actually studied Hitler's speeches and learned from them and those who survived the massacre said he was up there with King in the way he spoke. He's nothing like Trump. He's way more convincing than Trump is. What he said was utter drivel, the way he said it and convinced people of it was something else.
@@jeffreykaufmann2867 he was not one of the greatest orators, but manipulators of all time. In this video, he even calls on Jesus' power and praises him, that strenghtened his manipulation even more. The Evil always uses Good if it wishes to go a long way. Like Nazis and Bolsevics promised to people many good things in the beginnings, so did Jim Jones.
Ultimate evil cannot develop without using a lots of elements of Good for its cause.
About 30 years ago, I did my 7th grade topic paper on Jim Jones and the mass suicide in Guayana. I didn't even know what it was at the time. I stumbled upon the images of all the dead bodies while scrolling through some microfilm and decided at the last minute this was a good topic to write a rushed essay, which I did in about two hours. Strangely, after all this time between that first essay and now, I believe this is the first time I have actually heard Jim Jones' voice.
PS: as a professional screenwriter today, I still almost always wait for the last minute to meet my deadlines.
Why do you think you do that? Are you lazy or dont ideas come or do you just not like writing the script as much as thinking about it and how do u deal with it?
@@ActionableFreedom I like to allow the ideas to marinate with as much time as possible, to give them richer layering and weaving with the surrounding ideas, if that makes sense. Just making stuff up by the seat of your pants without thoughtful (and heartful) integration into the story, almost always seems contrived and amateur, though lots of young writer wannabes can't see this.
That's with my own stuff, on spec.
With others' material -- directors and producers wanting polish and rewrites and ghostwrites, which is most of my work--I do it very quickly, without much thought. I think the difference is that I don't have any emotional connection to their material and so it is easier to make decisions for stories.
I love the writing of the actual script the most. But that is the icing on the cake. The real work is the story discovery and composition, and that can take years: notes, research, soul searching, more notes, brainstorming, angle-gaming, etc.... Without that groundwork and legwork up front, I can almost guarantee your stories fall flat and thin.
Embrace the unknown, which is where all the great ideas hide.
Show us your taint!
@@JihadBunnydick Okay. Where you at?
Literal schizo
Spoiler alert, she still needed her glasses.
lol she didn't need glasses no matter what. it was confirmed Jones hired all the people he "healed" and none of them were actually sick or disabled in the first place.
8:57 Is that Christine Miller? Parts of this film were used for the PBS doc, but never saw the whole thing. Most of these people seem like they believe it; they were either brainwashed or afraid to dissent or both.
Yes there is some surviving Audio/Visual record of the People's Temple that was used in the PBS Special. This is the whole video that was only shown in part in the PBS documentary.
I think it is her
The thing with Jones is, he claimed to be all things to all men. If you were inclined to religious belief, he sought to convince you he had miraculous healing powers. If you were inclined to politics, he'd talk about racism and other ills affecting society. Quite a few people (especially well-educated young adults) in the Temple didn't take Jones' religious stuff absolutely seriously, but still thought he was an extraordinary person and that it was okay if Jones lied because of all the good he was said to be doing.
Jones explicitly defended "the ends justify the means" as an approach to morality. He'd admit to his closest associates that he would stage faith healings, but argued it was necessary because otherwise older or more conservative-minded folks wouldn't care about his socialistic message otherwise.
Brainwashed
That's her.
Unbeleviable... I'm just reading 'The road to Jonestown: Jim Jones and Peoples Temple' and I must say, that this [hi]story is better than a lot of fictional books (though a bit terryfing...)
5 months later how was the book?
You might want to check out Raven, by Tom Reiterman. It is a thourough, definitive work.
@@communitygardener17 I read this and it was very thorough book. Tim goes back and forth between the People's temple, the history of some people like Congressman Ryan, the Stoen family and what their legal issues were like trying to get John back, almost everything. I did feel that some areas were rushed..like Tim Carter's discussion with Gloria not expounded upon as Tim describes it, the beatings of Stanley Clayton not being mentioned, etc. Because with some documentaries, there were things I never knew happened because they were not covered in Tim's book.
I suppose "Raven" by Tim Reitermann and "The Road to Jonestown" by Jeff Guinn are probably, as a duel, the best books about the subject. I recommend both for anyone who is interested in a very in depth look at this strange time in history.
It is amazing how a great orator like Jim Jones can give people so much hope. Giving people hope is a great thing in a world where we all die and face judgement, as long as the leader doesn't murder his followers and give them an early death. Our time of death is in God's hands, not another person's . Too bad he let such great oratory and leadership skills go to waste.
Unless you’re a sociopath like him

He was pro black you seems to forget about that, and his member are mostly black and the message for eqaulity, hmm seems familiar?
The wonderful Christine Miller at 8:55, folks. RIP Hero
I noticed her too. Poor Christine... she had no idea she'd be fearing for her life in a remote jungle of Guyana just 6 years later.
She told them not to drink it. Leave the kids alone. Look at her looking at him in disgust
I am approaching 60years in just a couple months from now and the thought of getting old is scary as heck when you're living alone. Nevertheless, I see how easy it must of been to have desires of wanting to join this church affiliated with Jones here you have at least 95% Afro American membership led by a white preacher blacks loved and adore this man unfortunately I was only 15years at the time but I liked and lived for pentecostal church services..we had church and worship from sun up to sun down....and oh my God...it's almost as frightening to think had i been living in Los Angeles, CA during this time...I know I would have thoughts of joining it just seems so peaceful back then people were seriously worshipping and praising God I was seriously fascinated by Jesus back in those days and God only knows i loves pentecostal church services . i don't know as I view this video... it's so much I could say about this video it just looked like happier times then I don't know it's just all bittersweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Are you still religious? I discovered this tragedy today.
@@IAmThe_RAhi dear thanks for sharing your thoughts and opinions 🙏🙏 every now and then I reflect back on what occurred back in 1978 in Guyana and wonder to myself how did something like worshipping and fellowshiping go so horribly wrong where all the members end up dead 😢😢😢Ooh my gracias God I can hardly fathom the dreadful news I made a decision to follow Jesus Christ long ago but unfortunately somewhere along the way I went astray but I guess Jesus loves me now ❤️❤️❤️

I'd love to have him watch this, cause I think he'd want to do it, especially if a good director made it.
Same idea... 🤣
No resemblance to Jim Carrey!
Powers Boothe has already done the best Jim Jones ever lmao
I don't think I'd trust him to portray Jones very well.
Jim Carrey is a very versatile actor
My father was a methodist missionary out in the West Indies where I was raised. All this is weirdly familiar. This is a world before the internet…and hundreds of channels on tv…before social media…. This was were like minded souls and friends met, loved…felt good for a while… Apart from the theatrics and carnival there is something beautiful here…they had no idea what they were walking into.
I do not feel sorry for adults because they are fools.
I'm sorry because of children who had no choice and they were killed by their parents.
Psychol and demon.
I feel sorry for them all. The adults were just as blinded at first. I feel bad that they all went through something that had made them lose faith. Feel awful that our country and world did not, (still does not), display enough love an equality for one another- therefore making them run to the first person who promises it. But I feel worse for the people who made this country so divided and evil. That evil and need to divide is what made a lot of these people buy Jim Jones story of building a peaceful, normal community. No crying, no hate, no fighting. Shame on them for being tricked by another man into believing they had a safe, stable and loving community of people to start a family and have children in. The survivors all have said that being in that place with their fellow friends were the best years of their lives because the conncetion they'd built with each other. It's not their fault Jones had his own hidden agenda. Jones was just as weak or wounded as these people had been. But these people looked for comfort and love to heal them...he looked to destroy and over power others to make his wounds heal. I feel worse for him and people like him though bc God will have no mercy on their evil
We should all feel sorry for everyone who was misled and deceived
Stop calling them demons, they all knew what they were doing. Jones was a radical Communist, they all participated in this ane even gave their allegiance to the soviet union.
1:51 That girl is lusting over father Jones giving him the once over.
He took out a whole town with just 1 punch.
Bruh
Yesss😫
7:30 - When Jones said, “All the goodness of all the worlds great religions.” That should have been a red flag!
The fact that you were watching the occult in action did not raise a red flag with you?
All religions have good points and bad points.

Jhonni j same here, I would like to go back in time to this place, day and to have the mind I own now, pretend to be involved but secretly observe everybody’s insanity
Also this all was just a facade. There were probably threatened to be killed before before this ceremony.
paul iblis I agree with you that many were putting on a facade to try and survive, I have no doubt that they were frightened right to their very core. but I do honestly believe that there were few who did go along with this craziness
I wrote another comment. I don't know what happened but it got deleted. But what I was trying say was that this was all recorded in Guyana inside their armed compound. There was no chance of leaving. So if by any chance if you end up in there you would probably be killed in the mass suicide.
paul iblis right, nice bit of info. I still do believe that there were people who really did believe in this stuff. Through documentaries I’ve seen from survivors, the reason they’ve fled and their family members haven’t has often been down to the fact that they saw the madness, but their family/friends became intertwined within the madness
Looking at how these people black and whites rejoicing in unity and in one accord in the spirit of GOD would have been enough for me to join this kinda fellowship oh my god just the camaraderie in the room is exceedingly GREAT most definitely intrigued I don't know I just 14 years of age when this video was recorded I would have been easily lured and easily persuaded too partake and participate in this type of fellowship but once he flung the holy bible across the room and said there was no God I believe that is when I would have walked away and leave the church completely 😢😢😢

Not everyone here died at Jonestown. The lady in the wheelchair died in Jonestown.
I don't see any difference between this and what you see in the Pentecostal Church
There isn't
4:50 HELL NAW!!!!!‼️‼️🤣😭😂🤣🤦🏽♀️
Couldn't help but roll my eyes
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
So fake 😭
What a nice church, how do I sign up to join this group?
There's one like it that's in LA. Wouldn't recommend it, tho 😂
Don't mean to be nerdy but the cult hasn't had any members since the late 70s
Do you know the source of this footage?
Thanks!
I know the dancing and singing in the beginning was credit to the newsteam who went to Guyana with Congressman Leo R. & Jackie S. Jim had put on a big, grand performance to put on a fausade for them. So look up the video of the family members and Congress visiting Guyana. Some interesting footage if you haven't seen them alreadt
No matter what he has done but he was very handsome
The girl @01:49 and again @06:54 is in lusty infatuation with the Reverend Jim. So creepy.
This should be made into a comedy!!! Lady went from barely walking to doing the twist!! I can't stop Laughing!
Look how gullible and credulous the poor mass looked at him with so much anticipation and believe. I see how easily they could be lured into the 1978 massacre. Sad story ⛔️😔
It is heartbreaking I agree
I think it's interesting how the 70's cult mentality that was once religious is now idealistic. You have the trans cults, the political (left or right cult), the drug cults like weed and so on. You have movie franchise cults (maybe a little less threatening) but are nonetheless a cult. Then you have Disney cults (scariest of them all).
What's a Disney cult?
"JIM JONES, COM A SUA ELEGÂNCIA, E COM A SUA ATUAÇÃO DE CAUSAR ESPANTO".

Olá, ouvi falar que ele, sua mulher e suas crianças moraram em Belo Horizonte, no bairro Santo Antônio durante 1962 ...
@@hugoveracandia3562sim. Isso é verdade. Eles passaram quase 1 ano no Brasil e primeiro foram pra BH e depois RJ, onde ele trabalhava como professor numa escola americana. Só que como estavam "tomando" o templo dele, ele logo voltou e fez a mudança do templo de Indiana para Redwood Valley, na Califórnia. As sedes em Indiana e Redwood existem até hj mas não há qualquer memória do Templo dos Povos.
ELE VEIO DAR AULAS PARA PASTORES DO BRASIL .@@hugoveracandia3562
He took advantage of many people, especially poor blacks
