Podcasts about reverend jim jones

On this episode of Wife of Crime I am telling Russ all about the diabolical cult leader Reverend Jim Jones and his church The Peoples Temple. Most people have heard the expression "Don't drink the kool aid..." but not everyone knows where this warning actually stemmed from. Jim Jones started his church with a mission to help Black Americans at a time when racial tensions were at an all time high. He preached a socialist message and in the early years did many good things for the poor and homeless as well. But as time passed something sinister was growing inside of him. The power he held went unchecked and that power became a hell of a drug... In Part 1 we discuss Jim's childhood and the early years of his church. You may find yourself asking... can someone who does evil things also have good in them?? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Part 2 of the case of Jim Jones and The Peoples Temple the story continues with Jones telling his followers that it's time to head to South America to build a socialist utopia where they can live together in harmony. Reverend Jim Jones has already began to descend into madness but, a group of a little over one thousand loyal church members are ALL IN and have decided to follow him. Little do they know that this new beginning is really just the beginning of their tragic end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Tucker Carlson is perhaps the country's most influential conservative commentator; his eponymous podcast is routinely among the most downloaded shows on the internet. Despite his endless fulminations against the mainstream media, Carlson has an impeccable mainstream media pedigree. He's hit for the cycle on cable news, having hosted shows on Fox, MSNBC, and CNN. After he was fired from Fox News in 2023, under circumstances that are still hotly disputed, Carlson quickly reconstituted his career on his own—free of corporate shackles, with no institutional guardrails, and with a professed willingness to explore topics that his former mainstream media colleagues wouldn't touch. Last week on his show, he did just that, airing an interview with a man most people in the mainstream won't touch: a podcaster named Darryl Cooper, who Carlson called “the most important historian in the United States.” In reality, Cooper is an amateur historian with no publishing record—no books, no academic articles. He produces a popular history podcast called Martyr Made, in which he does deep dives into subjects like the Israel-Palestine conflict, the cult of Reverend Jim Jones, and the trials of Jeffrey Epstein. He has previously described his personal politics as those of a “non-racist fascist.” On Carlson's show, Cooper demonstrated some of those fascist tendencies when he identified Winston Churchill—not Adolf Hitler—as the “chief villain” of World War II. He wasn't a hero at all, Cooper argued, but a “psychopath” who forced Nazi Germany into a war that it didn't want. And what of the Holocaust? Cooper doesn't speak of Jewish victims, but vaguely and airily of “prisoners of war. . . local political prisoners and so forth” who the Nazis “just threw. . . into camps, and millions of people ended up dead.”  In September 1941, a mere week after Nazi troops occupied the Ukrainian capital of Kiev, that city's Jews were ordered to congregate for “resettlement.” Under threat of severe punishment, they obliged. . . and were loaded into trucks to be transported a short distance to Babi Yar, a ravine just north of the city. In a two-day orgy of violence, 33,000 Jews ended up dead. Innocents, not prisoners of war; children forced to lie on top of those pushed into the pit before them, then executed with a bullet in the back of the head. This is how they ended up dead. Tucker Carlson, who has the ear of millions of conservatives, including Donald Trump, and who secured a prime time speaking spot at the Republican National Convention, said nothing in response to Cooper's revisionism. No pushback. Not an arched eyebrow. Just unalloyed praise for an extremist autodidact, America's “best” historian. Cooper defended himself on Twitter by assuring his critics that Hitler was indeed desperate to make peace and was also willing to “work with the other powers to reach an acceptable solution to the Jewish problem.” Jewish problem was not in quotes. When another user pointed this out, Cooper responded: “Was there not a problem involving the Jews in Europe at the time?” Hitler apologia and antisemitism packaged as brave historical inquiry is not new. We've heard versions of these arguments from cranks, extremists, and anti-Americans on the left and right, for decades. But why is there a sudden resurgence of these odious ideas on the American right?  Today, we talk to Victor Davis Hanson to help us answer this question. Hanson is a classicist and historian, the author of two dozen books, including the critically acclaimed The Second World Wars: How the First Global Conflict Was Fought and Won. And for years, Hanson was a weekly guest on Tucker Carlson's television show. We discuss his relationship with Carlson, the accuracy and derivation of Darryl Cooper's claims about the Second World War, and why so-called “anti-elitism” often drifts into antisemitism.

You're never gonna guess who we're chattin' with for this episode 73 of The DOD45 Show. When I say never, I mean never….I'll end the suspense. Our guests this week are James Warren Jones aka The Reverend Jim Jones of the Peoples Temple and the controversially titled artist Edward Theodore Gein aka The Butcher of Plainfield…Say What? That's gonna make for a dumpster fire of an episode. But in actuality, our guests this week are the dubiously mental Mr. Dibbs & his comrade in innovative musical experiences, Brett Fullerton, together known as INIM E.G. A secretive, but no so complex, moniker for their union. Come to think of it, with the revelation of the actual guests, there's still potential for a dumpster fire. You're gonna find out. We recorded this discussion the day before Halloween, so in the spirit of the holiday, Dibbs and Fullerton turned up in full garb. On this episode I draw Mr. Dibbs a long anticipated concept of his, which none of his other artist homies were willing to touch, The fabulous Sir Elton John Wayne Gacy. When conversing with a mass murderer & a serial killer, it seemed to be the appropriate time to tackle a concept like this. As far as what to expect from this episode content-wise, it's anybody's guess. What I can tell you is that Sage Francis pops in for his Sage's Social Media Lurk to question Dibbs about the infamous moment that Dibbs recorded himself smuggling a razor onto an airplane under his tongue. And mysteriously we have 2 different people claiming to be Mr. Dibbs, calling in with a question for the Question From Dibbs segment. We always have a great time hanging with these 2, and it's not nonsense, our purpose is to also promote the 2nd 7” record of the 3 part series that I've done the cover art for. Limited presales of this album, of which I cannot pronounce the name of, are now being taken. I've had the pleasure of hearing it and it's as you'd expect. Pure fire. And if I'm being honest, I'm quite happy with how the artwork turned out for the cover. Each album also comes with the 2nd limited edition print that lines up with the print from album 1 and they'll unite with the 3rd 7” record when it comes out. Like some Voltron shit right there. This is another fun one. We also manage to squeeze in some discussions about people like Dog the Bounty Hunter, Steven Seagal, Steven Tyler, Forrest Gump, Forrest Whitaker, George Clooney, Brett Favre, Brett Michaels, Brad Paisley, Brad Pitt and Dibbs tells us a story about his shop teacher punching him in the face. Boom! Cellophane up your furniture, sharpen the knives, cue the security cams and prep the fire extinguisher for this episode 73 of The DOD45 Show with Brett Fullerton aka Ed Gein & Mr. Dibbs aka Jim Jones.

The Reverend Jim Jones grew from an impoverished, lonely child in Indiana to the dynamic and charismatic leader of his own religious movement. His dream of creating a socialist utopia for his followers became a reality when he built a compound in Guyana. But all was not as joyful as it seemed. When the truth was finally revealed, the shock of Rev. Jones' end game reverberated across the nation and the world.

In part one of this two part series, Dee and Kate investigate the sordid past of the world's most famous social media influencers – The Kardashians – and their connection to faith healing cults, the Reverend Jim Jones, and ultimately the Ku Klux Klan.

In recounting the fascinating, intersecting stories of Jim Jones and Harvey Milk, Cult City tells the story of a great city gone horribly wrong. November 1978. Reverend Jim Jones, the darling of the San Francisco political establishment, orchestrates the murders and suicides of 918 people at a remote jungle outpost in South America. Days later, Harvey Milk, one of America's first openly gay elected officials—and one of Jim Jones's most vocal supporters—is assassinated in San Francisco's City Hall. This horrifying sequence of events shocked the world. Almost immediately, the lives and deaths of Jim Jones and Harvey Milk became shrouded in myth. Now, forty years later, this book corrects the record. The product of a decade of research, including extensive archival work and dozens of exclusive interviews, Cult City reveals just how confused our understanding has become. In life, Jim Jones enjoyed the support of prominent politicians and Hollywood stars even as he preached atheism and communism from the pulpit; in death, he transformed into a fringe figure, a “fundamentalist Christian” and a “fascist.” In life, Harvey Milk faked hate crimes, outed friends, and falsely claimed that the US Navy dishonorably discharged him over his homosexuality; in death, he is honored in an Oscar-winning movie, with a California state holiday, and a US Navy ship named after him. His assassin, a blue-collar Democrat who often voted with Milk in support of gay issues, is remembered as a right-winger and a homophobe. But the story extends far beyond Jones and Milk.

Flynn vividly portrays the strange intersection of mainstream politics and murderous extremism in 1970s San Francisco—the hangover after the high of the Summer of Love. 2 years ago #10, #and, #city:, #cult, #days, #ed, #francisco, #harvey, #jim, #jones, #milk, #opperman, #report, #san, #shook, #spreaker, #that

I Want to Believe the Podcast – S5 E8 – #CULTure: Fear in Northern Maine Open Song - The Power by SNAP! Close Song - Cult of Personality by Living Colour Clips in episode from: What Makes Something a "Cult" by I Am Your Target Demographic Also contains one clip from Blankenship's Facebook Page Welcome to episode 8, season 5 of the I Want to Believe podcast! The word “cult” is typically considered pejorative. And it seems the groups themselves tend to evolve into different archetypes. From destructive to doomsday cults to political and polygamist cults, and more. They all have varying definitions when considering pop culture, academia or whichever lens someone chooses to view a cult through. During the 1960s, the counterculture movement in America was about peace, love, and happiness. Historians say that freedom of expression was the cornerstone of both the Civil rights and the Vietnam anti-war movements. But by the 1970s, America was filled with violent faiths and deadly cults. Charles Manson, Reverend Jim Jones, and many other cult leaders became common names in American households. During parts of 2019 and 2020, the people of the small northern Maine town of Saint Agatha were concerned that a cult had started to take root in their quiet and safe hamlet. We'll tell you more in a sec… Before we jump into the episode, we wanted to provide the I Want to Believe social media & email links.

What does a fruity grape beverage have to do with a mass suicide? Well, maybe everything. This week, we'll learn about Reverend Jim Jones and the People's Temple, and the mass suicide that took place at Jim Jonestown in Guyana.

On this episode of The Sofa King Podcast, we look at the story of Jonestown, the city that housed the People's Temple, where over 900 people died famously from poisoned Kool Aid in November of 1978. According to its founder, the Reverend Jim Jones, it was to be a Socialist paradise, a commune in the country of Guyana, and an escape from the evils of Capitalism and a corrupt American government. When you look at the young religious life of Jim Jones, this dream commune sounds like an actual possibility. Because when Jones first started his Temple in the early 1960's, he was a champion for integration of African Americans into American society. He held multiple governmental positions, was a friend to civil rights, and was a religious leader on the national stage. From Governor Jerry Brown (his first term way back when…) to First Lady Carter, Jim Jones advised them all. However, somewhere in his time as the leader of his Temple, he started preaching about the nuclear apocalypse and called himself the reincarnation of multiple religious figures. (This may have been inevitable since his own mother thought she was the giving birth the messiah when she was pregnant with Jones…) So how did a white leader of the black community become a murderous, drug-using cult leader? What crimes forced him to move his group to Guyana in the first place? How was the amazing Congressman Leo Ryan involved in bringing down Jonestown before he was gunned down on an airfield? What do conspiracy theorists say about the connection to the CIA? This is one of the craziest cult stories we've covered. And yes, I know, it was technically grape Flavor Aid, not Kool Aid…

Minneapolis-based author and Fast Company opinion columnist Joe Berkowitz joins the podcast this week to talk about the found footage horror genre with a focus on Ti West's 2013 thriller The Sacrament, which presents a fictionalized version of the 1978 Jonestown massacre, set in the modern era and presented as an edgy documentary from Vice Media. Joe and I discuss the evolution of the Found Footage genre, their common structural problems, the use of Vice journalists in The Sacrament, and the overall “ethics” of cinematic exploitation.

Blair Alan Gadsby (Religious Delusions American Style: Manipulations of the Public’s Mind) - how political elites use our religious beliefs against us. “End times” Christianity and Biblical literalism were given us by intelligence. (If you can make people believe the world is 6,000 years old, and God wants Israel where it is – damn the Palestinians – you can make them believe anything.) This is a defense of religions. Religions have been blamed for government shenanigans. The Jonestown “massacre” was likely a CIA mind-control experiment the agency could have stopped after the first 180 dead. (About 900 died.) Bodies were dragged into position. They didn’t suicide where they were found. The Reverend Jim Jones lived like a king in Brazil, close to Joseph Mengele, notorious fugitive Nazi. We have these secret societies. The basic one is Skull and Bones, based out of Germany. Academic religious studies are AWOL. They’re on the take from the Pentagon. The Pentagon blows something up and gives money to a university and says, go study those who don’t like what just happened. In Waco: The Rules of Engagement (documentary) - you see the drone footage of the military assassinating the people in the Branch Davidians compound. They were torched by the FBI, with tanks. Same thing in Oklahoma. We’re told a fertilizer bomb did it. But there were steel beams cut inside the building. 9/11 woke Blair up. The documentary “Loose Change.” In 2008 Blair went on a hunger strike for 9/11 truth in front of John McCain’s office in Phoenix. Hundreds rallied. He shrunk to 124 pounds. Local media ignored him. Intelligence infiltrated 9/11 truth to make it preposterous with disinformation (“the planes were animations”). We can find real knowledge. It takes work in this time of fake news. We must hold to the fire the feet of our representatives. We must tell the truth, and keep discussing it and talking about it.

In this Dateline classic, Josh Mankiewicz takes an in-depth look at the journalists who exposed the dangers of cult leader Reverend Jim Jones. Originally aired on NBC on July 13, 2018.

Heyo Listeners - Sorry for the delay, today's episode is an extra long one and took a bit more time to edit than expected. Here's hoping it was worth the wait! - Loren Up until the events of September 11th, the tragedy in Jonestown represented the largest number of American civilian casualties in a single non-natural event. On November 18, 1978, more than 900 members of the People's Temple committed mass suicide at the behest of their leader- Reverend Jim Jones. Nearly 40 years later, the tragedy still fascinates people. The story of a charismatic minister seeking to create a utopia with his devoted followers in a remote country, and his gradual decline into madness and paranoia. Thousands flocked to him, traveling to Guyana to build their peaceful homeland. Utopia came crashing down with the visit of Congressman Leo Ryan.

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.

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?

What a Creep Season 5, Episode 5 Reverend Jim Jones “The People’s Temple”   Margo leads the discussion this week talking about a cult Creep--the Reverend Jim Jones who caused the deaths of over 900 people in Jonestown, Guyana in 1978. Jim began his career as a pastor from Indiana who believed in social justice. He eventually morphed into a despot who caused the ruin of countless lives and is the origin story for the expression “drank the Kool-Aid.”  Then Sonia talks about a person related to the Jonestown event who is NOT a Creep.  Sources for this episode:   Salon (David Talbot): Jim Jones' Sinister Grip on San Francisco Season of the Witch by David Talbot Wikipedia: Jim Jones The Road to Jonestown: Jim Jones & the People’s Temple by Jeff Guinn Cult City: by Daniel Flynn Jonestown: Terror in the Jungle (CNN) San Diego State University Jim Jones online archive     Be sure to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts and you will never miss an episode.  Also, be sure to follow us on social media!

In 1978, the Reverend Jim Jones and his American socialist followers committed murder and mass suicide in the jungles of Guyana. Who was Jim Jones? Where did he come from? Why were people willing to kill and die for him? Why am I asking you when we clearly are putting out a podcast on the subject and know the answers? Guess you'll just have to listen to find out. And now you're sucked in. It's genius levels of marketing like that have allowed this podcast to reach the prestigious 25 show mark with a total of 27 overall plays.

November 1978. Reverend Jim Jones, the darling of the San Francisco political establishment, orchestrates the murders and suicides of 918 people at a remote jungle outpost in South America. Days later, Harvey Milk, one of America’s first openly gay elected officials—and one of Jim Jones’s most vocal supporters—is assassinated in San Francisco’s City Hall. This horrifying sequence of events shocked the world. Almost immediately, the lives and deaths of Jim Jones and Harvey Milk became shrouded in myth. Now, forty years later, this book corrects the record. The product of a decade of research, including extensive archival work and dozens of exclusive interviews, Cult City reveals just how confused our understanding has become. In life, Jim Jones enjoyed the support of prominent politicians and Hollywood stars even as he preached atheism and communism from the pulpit; in death, he transformed into a fringe figure, a “fundamentalist Christian” and a “fascist.” See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Midday theater critic J. Wynn Rousuck joins Tom for another of her weekly reviews of the region's thespian fare. Today, she's talking about Thank You, Dad, the world premiere of Baltimore playwright Aladrian C. Wetzel’s trilogy of short plays based on the life of the Reverend Jim Jones, the notorious founder of the ill-fated religious cult, The Peoples Temple. It's the 2019 season opener for Rapid Lemon Productions, and the work is now on stage at Baltimore's Theatre Project.Featuring a solo performance by RLP Artistic Director Lance Bankerd, with direction by Donna Ibale, the trilogy recalls the tragedy that unfolded in a South American jungle settlement in 1978, when the Reverend Jim Jones ordered the deaths of over 900 members of his Peoples Temple, a quasi-religious community that included hundreds of children. It was the largest mass-murder/suicide in modern history.The plays portray Jones at three points in his life: his first ministries in Indiana in the 1950s, his progressive services in California in the 1960s, and his fatal last sermon at the Peoples Temple's village in Jonestown, Guyana.Rapid Lemon Productions' world premiere staging of Thank You, Dad continues at the Theatre Project until Sunday, January 20.

The untold story of the intersecting lives of the Reverend Jim Jones and Harvey Milk—marking the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown massacre and Milk’s assassination November 1978. The Reverend Jim Jones, the darling of the San Francisco political establishment, orchestrates the murders and suicides of 918 people at a remote jungle outpost in South America. Days later, Harvey Milk, one of America’s first openly gay elected officials—and one of Jim Jones’s most vocal supporters—is assassinated in San Francisco’s City Hall. This horrifying sequence of events shocked the world. Almost immediately, the lives and deaths of Jim Jones and Harvey Milk became shrouded in myth. The distortions and omissions have piled up since. Now, forty years later, this book corrects the record. The product of a decade of research, including extensive archival work and ­dozens of exclusive interviews, Cult City reveals just how confused our understanding has become. In life, Jim Jones enjoyed the support of prominent politicians and Hollywood stars even as he preached atheism and communism from the pulpit; in death, he transforms into a fringe figure, a “fundamentalist Christian,” and a “fascist.”

6.8 out of 10 - Okay. www.latheatrebites.com In 1978, People's Temple, a progressive, Black multiracial church, self-destructed in a Guyana settlement named after its leader, the Reverend Jim Jones. A riveting story of complicity and resistance; loyalty and betrayal; black struggle and black sacrifice told through the voices of Black women.

Legendary researcher MAE BRUSSELL is the focus of our fourth installment of the Midnight Writer News Legends Series. In this episode - an airing of her 365th and 366th episodes - Mae focuses on Reverend Jim Jones and the Jonestown massacre in Guyana. Just close to two weeks after the massacre, it is amazing how much information Mae had already gathered. These were the first two episodes of a five-episode concentration on Jonestown. She would come back to the topic on future episodes. Interesting to JFK researchers, she has some pretty pointed things to say about Mark Lane, who was one of Jonestown's attorneys and was in Guyana when the massacre occurred. The MWN Legends Series was created to pay homage to the researchers and authors who have paved the way for so many of us. Therefore, Midnight Writer News and S.T. Patrick would like to thank Mae Brussell (1922-1988) for her work and her spirit. Go to MidnightWriterNews.com for our free archives.

JIM HOUGAN joined S.T. Patrick to discuss the 40th anniversary of the Jonestown Massacre. Hougan, the author of the three part "Jim Jones, Dan Mitrione, and the Peoples Temple" rose to prominence with his breakthrough 1984 work on Watergate, Secret Agenda: Watergate, Deep Throat and the CIA. Tonight, Hougan addresses the biography of Reverend Jim Jones, the parallels to Dan Mitrione, Jones's 201 File, why he found religion, Indiana's surprising intelligence history, the origin of the Peoples Temple name, Jones's fascination with mass suicide, the ministry of Philadelphia's Father Divine, Jones's support of Communism... and Anti-Communism, the theory that Jones had an imposter, the passport controversy, the trips to Latin and South America (Cuba, Mexico, and Brazil), a potential audience with Fidel Castro, the brainwashing debate, Rep. Leo Ryan, the Jonestown Agricultural Project, the autopsies, the "kool-aid," and so much more.For our free archives, go to MidnightWriterNews.com or subscribe for free on iTunes, the iPhone podcast app, or many other podcast providers.

Have you ever heard the phrase "Drinking the Kool-Aid"? Do you know where it comes from? Do you really? It's an image that few Americans who were around at the time can forget: bodies - some piled on top of each other - sprawled around a crude tin-roofed building in the middle of the South American jungle. A mass suicide of over 900 church members who willingly (and some not so willingly) drank cyanide laced punch at the request of their leader, the Reverend Jim Jones.  The place was officially known as the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project or, as most people called it, Jonestown.  The evening news of November 18, 1978 carried the shocking images around the globe and soon Americans began asking themselves the familiar question - how could this have happened? In this episode, we'll be taking a look at some of the background to the Jonestown Massacre and, as this is a podcast called "The is the President", the US President's response to tragedy. In this case, a press briefing from President James "Jimmy" Carter on November 30, 1978. We'll also play a portion of what is known as the "Jonestown Death Tape", a harrowing real-time recording taken by Jonestown leader Jim Jones as he exhorted his followers to their deaths. And we'll try to set the record straight on the drink involved - despite the ubiquity of the phrase, the drink mix used in Jonestown was actually "Flavor Aid" and not "Kool Aid."  If you'd like to read more about the goings on in the Guyanese jungle, Jonestown, the Rev. Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple, there's an excellent website maintained by San Diego State University that contains pictures, recordings, and a treasure trove of primary source documents. On a lighter note, Harmon and Scott also discuss the merits of Philadelphia's cheese steaks, the James Bond movie "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," and the possibility of President Oprah.   WARNING: This episode contains graphic audio of people in extreme distress.  In addition, we're welcoming a new sponsor onboard - Dennis Miller.

This podcast is far from any sort of definitive collection but it is an intereting episode to listen to. We begin with am interview with the Reverend Jim Hones himeself, then a short glimpse into the church it's self. Then a lengthy phone conversation in which a member discusses finding a breaking point and another member talking her through it and attempting to bring her back into the church. This podcast is meant to be a starting point to peak interest in a history America dealt with. Jones was born in Indiana and started the Peoples Temple there in the 1950s. He later moved the Temple to California in the mid-1960s, and gained notoriety with the move of the Temple's headquarters to San Francisco in the early 1970s. James Warren "Jim" Jones (May 13, 1931 – November 18, 1978) was an American cult leader. Jones was the founder and leader of the Peoples Temple, infamous due to the mass murder-suicide in November 1978 of its members in Jonestown, Guyana, the murder of Congressman Leo Ryan, and the ordering of four additional Temple member deaths in Georgetown, the Guyanese capital. Nearly three-hundred children were murdered at Jonestown, almost all of them by cyanide poisoning. Jones died from a gunshot wound to the head; it is suspected his death was a suicide. Jim and Marceline Jones adopted several children of at least partial non-Caucasian ancestry; he referred to the clan as his "rainbow family",[23] and stated: "Integration is a more personal thing with me now. It's a question of my son's future."[24] Jones portrayed the Temple overall as a "rainbow family". The couple adopted three children of Korean-American ancestry: Lew, Suzanne and Stephanie. Jones had been encouraging Temple members to adopt orphans from war ravaged Korea. He had also long been critical of the United States' opposition to communist leader Kim Il-Sung's 1950 invasion of South Korea, calling it the "war of liberation" and stating that "the south is a living example of all that socialism in the north has overcome". In 1954, he and his wife also adopted Agnes Jones, who was partly of Native American descent. Agnes was 11 at the time of her adoption. Suzanne Jones was adopted at the age of six in 1959. In June 1959, the couple had their only biological child, Stephan Gandhi Jones. Two years later, in 1961, the Joneses became the first white couple in Indiana to adopt a black child, James Warren Jones, Jr. The couple also adopted another son, who was white, named Tim. Tim Jones, whose birth mother was a member of the Peoples Temple, was originally named Timothy Glen Tupper.

In this episode we discuss a number of legendary and infamous cults, and the terrible atrocities they are known for. The People’s Temple, lead by the notorious Reverend Jim Jones, was a socialist minded, tightly knit religious congregation.  Though the People’s Temple and Jones himself was initially known for striving for social equality, this cult would … Continue reading Cults → The post Cults appeared first on Strange Matters Podcast.
