A chilling recording of the Jonestown massacre
Above the screams of children who know no better, the confused chatter of brainwashed adults and fittingly new age muzak, Jim Jones chides and cajoles his flock to drink cyanide-laced grape juice in 1978.
Put this on your iPod if you dare and let the man who convinced close to one thousand human beings to end their lives and those of their children, get into your head. Not for the faint-hearted.

i canot beleive that he killed all of those people
even though lots of them wanted to die but even iam
only 11 years old even I wouldnt fall into a demand trap like that I think that is just wrong. Even though they say! that Jim Jones killed himself but I maen WHY HAVINT THEY FOUND THE BODY YET ? My dad told me that I would not go to some CHURCH! were there is a preacher that sounds HIGH. my father also said that even if they are playing some good old back gospel music I still wouldnt go i will never forget that.

technically he did not kill those people. more like he coerced them to take their own lives and what is more amazing is the fact that these people then fed the poison to their kids. to me that’s even more sinister than his apparent power of suggestion.

30 years ago today a group of utopian-leaning individuals took the lives of their children and then their own at the behest of a twisted mind. may history never repeat itself.

This man and his following of willing and unwilling victims stand as a reminder to us all of the dangers of not asking questions. When I hear people who speak with eloquence I find myself lulled as much as anyone, until I ask myself “Why?”. When I hear silver tongued politicians making promises that seem impossible, I ask, “How?” These poor dead people never asked the questions that would have cleared the mist away from their minds and exposed J. Jones as the evil man he was.

Jim Jones didn’t only coerce the people into suicide I think there were also armed men.
It was truly sad to see people forget about God and the Bible and start believing in a man!!! I just saw a documentary full of eyewitness accounts from former members.
It blows the mind when you hear about all the evil things that were being said to the members and done to the members but the people stayed committed to their (lost) cause. One eyewitness said that Jim Jones told the people that they would no longer follow the Bible and he threw His Bible out into the church and the congregation was still. Later Jim Jones told the people he would be their god. There were reports of rape, physical, mental and sexual abuse, between adult members and Jim Jones. It was truly an evil organization. Those people were spiritually broken!
