Yeah I got sucked into this story aswell, Jim Jones was also using forced medication, sleep deprivation and solitary confinement to brainwash those people. Random fact, one old lady actually slept through the mass murder, when the armed guards went to check on her they thought she was dead but she was sleeping.
Imagine walking outside and its 900 corpses of your friends
This is a tough one to watch when you see those documentaries. Jim Jones helped alot of people,and welcomed people of all backgrounds who would often be rejected and forgotten like drug addicts and sick elderly. He did alot of great things,his only problem is that he was a white man. I always look at what Jim Jones did as a succesful model to copy outside of the mass killing and taking him out of the equation. What I would ask is why hasn't the NOI done this on a grander scale
