Witness to Jonestown documentary-highly recommend

[gtc08]

Anyone interested in historical events and particularly the Jonestown tragedy will want to see this. I just got through watching DVR record of it. Has more interviews with people who got out somehow, and interview with Jim Jones brother. For people who dont know what Jonestown is, there is a real good youtube video of it. Very very disturbing documentary, fascinating at the same time. Re-airs all day Saturday on MSNBC.

small forward for USD Torreros is Rob Jones grandson of Jim Jones.

 

[eek.]

A bit morbid for me thankyou very much.

It just shows us how easy it is to manipulate people once a kook is running the show, like what Germany had to deal with.

I'm pretty sure it is on Thursday at 10pm on CNN. I first found out about Jonestown two years ago and it is truly fascinating. Amazing how people can take a man as their god and give him all of their possessions.

Kinda sounds like those wacky cults in Texas and Utah.

Exactly what it was but Jim Jones took it to an extreme and killed hundreds of people.

Seduction of the masses is not that hard...you find what they are lacking in their life...give them a little...wet their appetite and promise much grander things.

wow...i just watched it. Man if there were a tombstone of Jim Jones that actually existed, show me where it is so i can take a couple of whacks at it with a sledge hammer.

Mother of God what an aweful, aweful event.

the quote from one of the survivors says it all. "Whoever said time heels all wounds doesn't know what the hell their talking about"
