  • Summary

  • We're going to put a cap - for now - on our series about sects, cults, and bizarre expressions of Christianity by looking at the cult-iest of all cults - and the granddaddy of all narcissistic, power-hungry, pieces of skubalon that ever existed! His name was Jim Jones, and his "church" was the People's Temple. From his humble and twisted beginnings in Indiana to orchestrating the largest human massacre of its time in Guyana, this guy's rise to power and reign of terror is unprecedented and almost unfathomable! How did he coerce 900 people to follow him to a remote location in the jungle - set up a delusional commune - and then exercise such a level of mind control that they all committed "revolutionary suicide" by drinking cyanide-laced Flavor Ade? That's what we are exploring in today's episode. Join us if you dare!
