John and Laura-Lynn discuss the authoritarian structures and doctrines that connect Branhamism, the Latter Rain, and today’s New Apostolic Reformation. They explore how William Branham’s reinterpretation of Malachi, the Elijah motif, Christian Identity influences, and mystical elements helped form a theological framework that still shapes major NAR figures and institutions. Through examples involving Jim Jones, Christ for the Nations, Gordon Lindsay, Dutch Sheets, and others, they illustrate how these ideas created a parallel “kingdom” with its own prophecy-driven hierarchy. They also examine how these movements subtly redefine the gospel, elevate human leaders, and inject mysticism and esoteric narratives into Christian belief. John and Laura-Lynn reflect on cult dynamics such as elitism, shunning, secrecy, and the pursuit of spiritual power, emphasizing the need for critical thinking and grounding in the plain reading of Scripture. The conversation highlights why awareness, historical accuracy, and careful theological evaluation remain crucial as these movements continue to influence mainstream charismatic spaces.______________________Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962 Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K ______________________– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham – Visit the website: https://william-branham.org

Hi, friends! Happy Wednesday! What if I told you that one of the most influential... and mysterious cult leaders in American history is someone most people have never heard of? And that Jim Jones himself, yes Jonestown Jim Jones, got many of his ideas from same guy? Today, we're diving into the wild and complicated story of Father Divine—the charismatic leader behind the Peace Mission Movement, a man who inspired millions, shaped pieces of the civil rights era, built entire communities from the ground up… and also demanded unwavering loyalty that crossed more than a few lines. This isn't your typical cult story. It's part spiritual revolution, part empire-building, part “wait, WHAT?!” And somehow still a chapter of American history no one talks about. And we should because it brings up an interesting question... Where's the line between a movement that helps people… and one that controls them? And at what point does something become a cult? Let's get into the Dark History of Father Divine. And when you're done... go check out my MMM episode about Jonestown: https://audioboom.com/posts/8164237-jonestown-massacre-apocalyptic-cult-who-was-jim-jones ________ FOLLOW ME AROUND Tik Tok: https://bit.ly/3e3jL9v Instagram: http://bit.ly/2nbO4PR Facebook: http://bit.ly/2mdZtK6 Twitter: http://bit.ly/2yT4BLV Pinterest: http://bit.ly/2mVpXnY Youtube: http://bit.ly/1HGw3Og Goodreads: http://bit.ly/3IVnO7N Snapchat: https://bit.ly/3cC0V9d Discord: https://discord.gg/BaileySarian RECOMMEND A STORY HERE: cases4bailey@gmail.com Business Related Emails: bailey@underscoretalent.com Business Related Mail: Bailey Sarian 4400 W.

Most of us think we'd never fall for a cult. We imagine the followers of Jim Jones as naïve, brainwashed, or broken people who “drank the Kool-Aid.” But what if that's not the truth at all?In this eye-opening episode, host Gabe Howard speaks with the award-winning author of “Death in the Jungle: Murder, Betrayal, and the Lost Dream of Jonestown,” Candace Fleming, about the real story behind Jonestown, aka the Peoples Temple, and the mass suicide that shocked the world. Fleming reveals how ordinary, intelligent, and socially conscious people were slowly drawn into Jim Jones's orbit — not because they wanted to die, but because they wanted to belong, to matter, and to change the world. Listener takeaways: Discover nine warning signs of a destructive or cult-like group. Learn why intelligent, well-intentioned people joined Jim Jones' cult. Explore how to recognize and protect yourself from coercive influences. Listen in as they explore how groupthink, manipulation, and gradual isolation can transform a movement with noble intentions into something deeply destructive.  Together, they dismantle the myths surrounding cults and reveal the psychological, emotional, and social dynamics that allow them to take hold. Ultimately, their conversation challenges us to confront an unsettling question: Could it happen to any of us? “They had started people with Peoples Temple, some of them back in the ‘50s when it was still in Indianapolis and truly was an integrated church, unheard of in the '50s. They followed Jones to California and then on to Guyana. And all of that was because of their own community. So people came for many reasons, but none of them because they were, as we would like to say, cultists, brainwashed, crazy.” ~Candace Fleming Our host, Candace Fleming, is the prolific and versatile award-winning author of many books for children and young adults. School Library Journal praised her most recent title, Murder Among Friends, which received four starred reviews, as a "chilling page-turner." Her previous book The Rise and Fall of Charles Lindbergh received six starred reviews, was a Kirkus, PW, Booklist, and SLJ Best Book of the Year, and was hailed by the Wall Street Journal as a “fascinating chronicle.” Candace's The Family Romanov also received six starred reviews, won the Boston Globe-Horn Book Award for Nonfiction and the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and was recognized as a Sibert Nonfiction Honor Book. Her many acclaimed picture books include Giant Squid, a Sibert Honor Book. Visit her on the web at candacefleming.com. Our host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder. He is the author of the popular book, "Mental Illness is an Asshole and other Observations," available from Amazon; signed copies are also available directly from the author. Gabe is also the host of the "Inside Bipolar" podcast with Dr. Nicole Washington. Gabe makes his home in the suburbs of Columbus, Ohio. He lives with his supportive wife, Kendall, and a Miniature Schnauzer dog that he never wanted, but now can't imagine life without.

Today, on November 18th — the anniversary of Jonestown — we honour the 918 lives lost to a destructive, high-control group. It's a stark reminder of what can happen when loyalty, secrecy, and unquestioned authority replace truth, autonomy, and critical thought. Their memory calls us to remain vigilant, to speak up, and to listen when people inside controlling systems find the courage to tell the truth.In this short episode, I read out a set of powerful insider comments about the PBCC's recent Strive26 seminar. These comments expose the reality behind the polished presentation, the psychological pressure, the forced messaging, and the widening gap between what the PBCC claims and what its own members are experiencing.The insider walks through how the PBCC meets nine of the ten internationally recognized criteria for a cult. Their words shed light on the control, the gaslighting, the exhaustion, and the fear that many families inside are living with every day.To every insider who continues to speak, quietly or boldly: you are not alone.To those who have left: your clarity saves lives.And to those still inside these systems: there is nothing wrong with questioning what doesn't feel right.Thank you for listening, for caring, and for helping bring these stories into the light.Link for insiders- https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/goeymlokj1gukjiqt5944/Strive-26-podcast-iinsider-comments-ep.152.mp4?rlkey=2qldoo7qejyr1db09toc6nag9&st=wm7ram8q&dl=0To share your story or be a guest on the show, email info.getalife@proton.meGet a Life Paypal donations -https://www.paypal.me/getalifepodcastGet a Life GoFundMe-https://gofund.me/614bcd06PayPal link for USA- https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8Tz4n35OJ8Olive Leaf Network- https://oliveleaf.network/Thinking of Leaving Pamphlet and resources - https://oliveleaf.network/resources/Link to Anchor/Spotify- https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/G6sjHA2xHwbPreston Down Trust Decision-http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/media/591398/preston_down_trust_full_decision.pdfAberdeen incident- https://drive.google.com/file/d/1riImgAqwaqGwjYq6vRQIr4_jscJA0eQN/view?usp=sharingIf we walk in the light letters-https://drive.google.com/file/d/14WlgJladl1r95YGxW0FbZ0prYfjlg7FU/view?usp=sharingAdmin/Legal email address:stouffvillelegal-gal@protonmail.comOffice address:22 Braid BendStouffville ONL4A 1R7#plymouthbrethrenchristianchurch #pbcc #abuse #church #cult #religion #trauma #religioustrauma #sexualabuse #mindcontrol #brainwashing #conversation #exmembers #exposingtruth #expose #exposure #whistleblower #getalifepodcast #getalife #podcast #rules #strict #exclusivebrethren #brucehales #BruceHales #BDH #BruceDHales #UniversalBusinessTeam #UBT #RRT #RapidReliefTeam #Aberdeen #OneSchoolGlobal #OSG #johnhales #shutup #withdrawnfrom #worldly #excommunicate #assemblydeath #christiansect #christiancult #canadiancult #canadiansect #sect #worldwidesect #worldwidecult #cultescape #cultescapestory #bully #bullying #brokenfamily #awareness #cultescape #cultandculturepodcast #cultescapee #cultescapeer #cultescapeeinterview #askingforhelp #unispace

On today’s episode of The Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down how Donald Trump is being consumed by the growing Epstein feeding frenzy — from his inexplicable softness toward Ghislaine Maxwell to signs he may be genuinely afraid of what she knows. As Trump lashes out at Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene with the same fury he once reserved for impeachment-backers, his grip on the GOP shows early signs of slipping, even as the DOJ considers whether reopening the Epstein investigation could delay the release of sensitive files. With the economy struggling, tariffs quietly being dropped, and ACA subsidies suddenly in play, Trump’s visible panic comes at a politically vulnerable moment. Chuck also recaps conversations from the Texas Tribune Festival, where potential Democratic contenders like Wes Moore and Tim Walz signaled a return to mainstream, service-rooted politics — and where Moore’s centrist lane and military background set him apart as 2028 speculation slowly heats up. Finally, Chuck hops in the ToddCast Time Machine to revisit several pivotal moments in the history of American conspiracy theories that all fell on the same calendar week, plus he recaps the weekend in college football!

On today’s Chuck ToddCast, Chuck breaks down how Donald Trump is being consumed by the growing Epstein feeding frenzy — from his inexplicable softness toward Ghislaine Maxwell to signs he may be genuinely afraid of what she knows. As Trump lashes out at Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene with the same fury he once reserved for impeachment-backers, his grip on the GOP shows early signs of slipping, even as the DOJ considers whether reopening the Epstein investigation could delay the release of sensitive files. With the economy struggling, tariffs quietly being dropped, and ACA subsidies suddenly in play, Trump’s visible panic comes at a politically vulnerable moment. Chuck also recaps conversations from the Texas Tribune Festival, where potential Democratic contenders like Wes Moore and Tim Walz signaled a return to mainstream, service-rooted politics — and where Moore’s centrist lane and military background set him apart as 2028 speculation slowly heats up. Then, historian and author David Lesch joins Chuck to discuss the new book Dodgers to Damascus — an unexpected blend of Middle Eastern politics and baseball. Lesch traces his path from aspiring major-leaguer to one of America’s foremost scholars on Syria, explaining how the fall of the Ottoman Empire, artificial borders drawn by European powers, and a lack of cohesive national identity still shape the region today. He offers candid reflections on his relationship with Bashar al-Assad, why Syria is likely drifting toward a sectarian majoritarian state, and whether any country in the Middle East is truly positioned to attempt democracy. From Iran’s teetering leadership to the Saudis’ complicated partnership with the West, Lesch unpacks the geopolitical moment with clarity and experience. Chuck and David also dive into the surprising ways baseball helped him understand the Middle East — and vice versa. Lesch reflects on the physical toll of pitching, the Braves’ legendary rotation, and why modern sports medicine might have saved his career. The conversation even explores whether the Middle East could ever embrace baseball, the role of Islamophobia in shaping perceptions, and why travel remains one of the strongest antidotes to fear. Ultimately, Dodgers to Damascus is less a sports memoir and more a sweeping look at a region still wrestling with the consequences of history — and this episode brings that complexity to life.

In this fiery Garage edition of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux tears into Australia’s climate politics, the collapse of net-zero, and the rising despair among Generation Z. Reacting to the coldest November since 1913, Jeremy says the climate narrative has “fallen apart”, yet politicians and activists cling to it. He applauds the Liberal Party’s decision to drop net-zero, arguing the policy is impossible, unaffordable and driven by ideology rather than evidence. Jeremy critiques Gen Z’s bleak outlook, calling it the direct result of poor economic management, high energy costs and political failure. He breaks down the cost of living crisis, skyrocketing electricity prices, China’s coal-powered advantage, and the $2 billion bid for COP 31 — which he labels “a con”. The episode wraps with historical moments, reflections on mass persuasion such as Jonestown, and a reminder to stay grounded in truth and common sense.

When a U.S. congressman boards a plane to investigate a remote religious settlement, he expects a diplomatic visit — not a reckoning. What begins as a routine inquiry quickly unravels into something far darker, fueled by secrecy, devotion, and fear.

Before the world knew his name, Jim Jones was just a small-town preacher with a big vision. He spoke about justice, equality, and love when few others dared to — drawing in crowds who saw him as a voice for the forgotten. But behind the sermons and the smiles was a man driven by something more than faith.In Part One, we explore the rise of Jim Jones — his early life, his calling to ministry, and how his hunger to lead began to blur the lines between pastor and prophet.Trigger Warnings:RacismAnimal DeathRapeViolenceCults Deadly Faith PATREON: https://patreon.com/DeadlyFaithPodcast?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkDeadly Drip Merch https://www.bonfire.com/store/deadly-drip/?utm_source=facebook_messenger&utm_medium=store_page_published_share&utm_campaign=deadly-drip&utm_content=default Need A Podcast Editor?

In this joint episode of Southern Demonology and The TW Road Podcast, JJ and Chris dive into the unsettling intersection between faith, delusion, and obsession — what happens when spiritual experience spirals into full-blown psychosis.From the apocalyptic frenzy of Rapture prophecies to the chilling order of Heaven's Gate and the catastrophic end of Jonestown, the conversation unpacks how charismatic authority, unchecked belief, and isolation twist human devotion into tragedy.But it's not all doom and brimstone — along the way, the two trade blows over Star Trek, cult psychology, Maslow's pyramid, and even the theological merits of Taylor Swift. What begins as a dark dissection of mass delusion expands into a larger reflection on modern echo chambers, the erosion of truth, and the human need for meaning — however dangerous that pursuit may become.With humor and honesty, JJ and Chris remind listeners that belief is a double-edged sword: it can lift us toward transcendence or plunge us headlong into madness.Access all of Southern Demonology's episodes, social links, and contact info at https://www.southerndemonology.com#southerndemonology #spiritualpsychosis #cultpsychology #faithandmadness #heavensgate #jonestown #religiousdelusion #theology #demonology #southernhorror #occult #beliefsystems #podcast #truecrime #paranormal #rationalfaith #echochambers #religiousstudiesSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/southerndemonology.

‘Don’t drink the Kool-Aid’ is inmiddels een veelgebruikte uitdrukking, die de toehoorder op het hart drukt niet zomaar de woorden van een charismatische leider aan te nemen. De uitspraak is geïnspireerd op de zogenoemde Jonestown Massacre, waarbij sekteleider Jim Jones zijn 915 volgelingen overtuigde zelfmoord te plegen door het drinken van Kool-Aid vermengd met cyanide. Voor zijn nieuwe boek Hotel De Wereld: Wageningen, Suriname en andere postkoloniale tragedies bezoekt Frank Westerman de jungle van Guyana, waar de dramatische gebeurtenis zich bijna vijftig jaar geleden afspeelde. Hoe kreeg Jones zijn volgelingen zo ver hem te volgen? En waarom is het zoveel makkelijker om iets af te breken dan om iets op te bouwen? Over deze vragen spreekt hij deze week in de podcast, terwijl hij tegelijk pleit voor twijfel en nieuwsgierigheid. Als jonge, bevlogen ontwikkelingshulpstudent in Wageningen was hij namelijk op veel vlakken zekerder van zijn zaak dan nu.

Todd grudgingly returns to life after shortwave with a sore jaw, a jacked neck medicated with Leinenkugel's, and a prostate full of unimpaired sarcasm. Fresh from oral surgery and his final WWCR broadcast, he jumps straight back into New York's new Marxist soap opera: Zorak's rise, the DSA's full-blown takeover of the Democrats, and the party's desperate rebrand from identity equity to affordability. It's a kind of hangover episode with bite: part recovery diary, part political exorcism. Between complaints about aging, painkillers, and Marxist cosplay, Todd wonders out loud. again, whether the “Red-Green Alliance” is just Jonestown with Wi-Fi. It's cranky, funny, and 100% X-Pod; the start of a new chapter, minus the religious radio filter!

Lawrence Wright is an author, screenwriter, playwright, and a staff writer for The New Yorker magazine. He won the Pulitzer Prize for his 2006 book The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11. Most recently, filmmaker Alex Gibney directed an HBO documentary based on Wright's reporting in Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, and the Prison of Unbelief. Much of Wright's work is about how religious belief animates personal action and political conflict. He has documented the Jonestown massacre, explored allegations of Satan worship, profiled brimstone-tinged gospel preachers, and, of course, tracked the histories of al-Qaeda and the Church of Scientology. Regarding the latter, he isn't necessarily sympathetic to the Church's claims, but he understands its appeal. "People don't go into it because it's a cult, they go into it because they're looking for something," says Wright. "It's like going into therapy; people do benefit from it." "But it's one thing to get into it, it's another thing to get out of it." Originally aired April 14, 2015See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The People's Temple in Jonestown, Heaven's Gate, The Order of the Solar Temple. All cults that ended in tragic mass suicides. How could such lofty aspirations end so badly? For today's self-contained installment of The Roots of Conspirituality series, Julian explores the shadow side of the anxiety-relieving religious notion that death is just a doorway into a better place. How do charismatic prophets indoctrinate believers into ending their lives, and often the lives of their children, in the name of spirituality? Julian briefly examines each of these groups, along with Paul Nthenge Mackenzie's Good News International Ministry—450 of whose followers starved themselves to death in a Kenyan forest in 2023. Then he transitions into exploring philosophical, psychological, evolutionary, and neuroscience-based ways of understanding the elements that make these spiritualized perversions of our survival instincts possible.

Beyond The Outer Realm welcomes back Maxim W. Furek Date: September 30th, 2025 EP: 621 TOPIC: Maxim joins me today to talk about his book " Paranormal Apocalypse" . - Book Overview - - What if our obsession with the end times reveals something extraordinary about human nature? From a forgotten 1969 song that predicted our technological nightmare to the mysterious drone swarms of 2024, something dark threads through human consciousness—an inexplicable attraction to our own destruction. The Secret Psychology of Doomsday Why did a simple folk song about the year 2525 become a massive hit during the Summer of Love? What drives ordinary people to abandon everything and follow apocalyptic cult leaders? And why can't we look away when the world seems to be ending? Author Maxim W. Furek has uncovered a hidden pattern—a psychological phenomenon he calls "Apocalyptic Awe" that explains everything from ancient prophecies to modern conspiracy theories, from Hollywood blockbusters to political movements. The Questions That Will Haunt You: What did H.P. Lovecraft see coming that we're only now discovering? Why do the same apocalyptic fears resurface generation after generation, just wearing different masks? How are online "rabbit holes" weaponizing humanity's oldest anxieties? What connects the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to your social media feed? The Dark Discovery Through shocking case studies—from Jonestown to January 6th, from nuclear panic to AI anxiety—Furek reveals how apocalyptic thinking isn't just shaping our entertainment and politics. It's rewiring our brains. But here's the twist: understanding this hidden force might be the key to our survival. Some truths about human nature can only be found in humanity's darkest fantasies. The Bridge Between Worlds Why do the paranormal and apocalyptic thinking always appear together? Why do UFO sightings spike during social upheaval? What's the real connection between ghost stories and global catastrophe? The answers will change how you see everything—from the news to your nightmares. Ready to discover what your fascination with the end times says about you? Paranormal Apocalypse isn't just about predicting the future—it's about understanding the hidden forces already shaping it.

(True Stories of Abduction) *** In some kidnapping cases, the victim outsmarts their abductor. We'll look at a few quick-thinking abductees whose out-of-the-box thinking and determination to survive helped them to escape their captors. (They Outsmarted Their Kidnappers) *** In some cases of kidnapping, the victims have an opportunity to escape – but don't. They even try to help those who abducted them in the first place. In many cases this indicates the victim is suffering from a terrifying type of brainwashing we've come to know as Stockholm Syndrome – and we'll look at a few famous cases of it. (True Cases of Stockholm Syndrome) *** A beautiful California co-ed was kidnapped in 1974 - and two months later, she burst into a bank with a machine gun. We'll look at how Stockholm Syndrome changed 19-year-old wealthy heiress Patty Hearst into a cold-blooded bank robber.

Read my deep-dive article on the website: https://weirddarkness.com/Jonestown44MinutesJim Jones started the Peoples Temple preaching racial equality and winning civil rights awards, but by 1978 his Jonestown compound had become an isolated nightmare of beatings, forced labor, and "suicide rehearsals" where followers practiced drinking poison. On November 18th, when a congressman's investigation threatened to expose the truth, Jones ordered his followers to feed cyanide-laced punch to over 300 children first—then recorded audio as 900 people died in the largest loss of American civilian life before 9/11.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE for the ad-free version: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateTake the WEIRD DARKNESS LISTENER SURVEY and help mold the future of the podcast: https://weirddarkness.com/surveyIN THIS EPISODE: We'll look not only at the horrible events of the Jonestown massacre itself, but what life was like for those in The Peoples Temple cult before the mass suicide took place.

Todd Thompson exposes today's ideological Left as a new religion — with saints, martyrs, blasphemy laws, and holy wars. From DEI rituals to the Jonestown Warning, this broadcast shows how ideology has replaced faith and why the Red–Green Alliance threatens Western civilization. - Broadcast August 22, 2025 on WWCR 4840 kHz from Nashville, this week's edition of The Thompson Show dives headfirst into the theme of ideological religion — the secular Left's new faith, complete with saints, martyrs, blasphemy laws, and holy wars. Todd examines how today's ideological zealots: Canonize their saints and martyrs — from Marx and Lenin to George Floyd and Greta Thunberg. Enforce blasphemy laws in the form of speechcrime and cancellation. Sacrifice truth, tradition, and common sense on the altars of DEI, climate zealotry, gender ideology, and ritualized propaganda. Wage holy wars through riots, uprisings, and cultural purges in the name of “justice.” From Joan Didion's warning about “moral imperatives” to Jacques Ellul's insight on propaganda and orthopraxy, Todd connects the dots between ideological conditioning and religious zeal. He highlights the Boomerang Effect — how integration propaganda meant to normalize (like corporate DEI rituals or Target's pride campaigns) backfires into outrage. The broadcast reaches its climax with the Jonestown Warning: Jim Jones as the original “woke Marxist preacher,” blending Bible verses with socialist slogans, building a utopian commune that ended in mass graves. Todd argues that the same psychology underlies today's woke religion — utopia promised, hysteria enforced, corpses delivered. Closing the show, Todd expands the critique to Europe's blasphemy laws, the UK and Scotland punishing veterans and teachers for “Islamophobia” while excusing Islamist extremism. He ties this selective enforcement to the Red–Green Alliance, showing how the far-Left and Islamists have made common cause against Western civilization.

February 26, 1980. Berkeley, California. 51-year old Al Mills, his 40-year old wife, Jeannie, and Jeannie's 16-year old daughter, Daphene, are all shot to death, execution-style, in their home. Jeannie's 17-year old son, Eddie, is left unharmed inside his bedroom, but claims he did not hear the murders take place. Years earlier, the Mills family had defected from the Reverend Jim Jones' infamous cult, the Peoples Temple, and become outspoken advocates against them. Following the Jonestown Massacre, rumours circulated that surviving members of the cult were going to target the family as revenge. However, investigators suspect that Eddie was the actual perpetrator and make an unsuccessful attempt to charge him with the crime 25 years later. Did Eddie Mills murder his own family, or were they victims of an assassination by outside intruders? This week's episode of “The Path Went Chilly” explores an unsolved triple homicide and its potential connection to the Jonestown saga.Additional Reading:Support the show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeannie_Millshttps://people.com/archive/the-mills-family-murders-could-it-be-jim-jones-last-revenge-vol-13-no-11/https://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/BERKELEY-Man-jailed-in-family-slayings-from-25-2557794.phphttps://www.eastbaytimes.com/2005/12/09/son-wont-be-charged-in-1980-slayings/https://archives.sfweekly.com/thesnitch/2015/11/12/yesterdays-crimes-peoples-temple-hit-squads-and-jonestowns-last-victimshttps://www.sfweekly.com/news/yesterdays-crimes-jonestown-was-just-the-beginning-for-one-peoples-temple-family/https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/articles/199203/the-truth-about-jonestown
