It was so dark but im glad both of them made it out alive. Its so scary to think and actually even see cult members on the street casually trying to sway people and prey on sad looking ones on the streets itself like its nothing nowadays. Like that nothing even is done legally against it at all is mildly concerning to say the least
cluts/cult leaders often go after people who are in vulnerable states of mind, theyll use concepts if religion or family to lure people into them. So that makes the whole concept of cults much more scary and sad because if you think sbout it, anyone of us could be so desperate for help that we can end up in situations like this
They often use religions as a way to manipulate already believers, except they slowly turn it from God or whatever to themselves until they have everyone praising them.
Not to mention during the time of jones town the world was going through a pretty massive cultural change. Which left many confused on where to go next in their life. They were ripe for the pickings. Also something missed in the doc, there were survivors there as well inside Jones town. Some folks somehow managed to skip the role call and hid out in the jungle and I know of one old lady that hid under her bed.
Exactly. People like to go "oh that would never happen to me" but they dont understand that anyone can have a low point, and cult leaders use just that. They make you think you have a family, that you have friends", why wont you go to our meetings, dont you want to hang out with people that care about you?"
I sometimes feel sad cause they are just like fictional stories so something I think I'm treating them like such but if we don't watch them people won't know about what happened
I was really interested in this cult so I did a lot of research and found the tape when people were drinking the poison. I listened to the whole thing it was the most disturbing recording i ever heard you could hear the kids crying as the parents forced them to drink first…
304 children died that day, many force-fed the poison through syringes in their mouths by their parents. I was 10 yrs old when this happened and to this day I remember how everyone and everything around me (I'm from the Netherlands) seemed to be covered by this heavy blanket of fear and sorrow. I later learned that literally the entire world had learned about this tragedy, and to younger people I can only describe that for months what we all felt and went through was almost similar of what the world had felt during and after 9/11. For those interested, there was a very good and rather accurate movie made about Jim Jones, his rise and ultimate fall. It is called The Story of Jim Jones (released in 1980).
Honestly, this is so heartbreaking. I am the oldest of almost 10 children, 8 on my mother side and who I've lived with since they were born. The youngest being 3 and the oldest besides me just turned 17 on the 12th of November. The whole time my mind is just running scenarios on how I would get my siblings out of this predicament by the grace of the universe it drops my family into this. I'm not saying thinking of my siblings didn't come to mind but imagining my 3-year-old brother. Who is all smiles, trust everyone and is an all-around joy in my life and reason to keep going. I can't see him go through this; it's haunting my head down. My dreams are so lucid and vivid with the details that I felt like I had something similar happen to me in another life of not my own. I already can't stand to hear any of my sibling's cry or get hurt. This is my worst nightmare...
I listened to the whole recording and it was chilling. The way how the crowd was so cheerful and happy in the beginning. Then, one by one you hear people protesting and Jim Jones gas lighting them. With the help of a large number of people, the people who protested were quickly shut down. You just slowly start hearing the happy cheers turn into cries and screams. You hear children complaining to their parents that it hurts. And slowly the chatters, screams, voices, cries, they all died down. Eventually, it became silent. That’s when you knew that everyone had passed. It was truly frustrating and traumatizing. Because it didn’t feel like a movie, like something you would assume it to feel just because of how bizarre it was. But it felt so realistic and you suddenly realized you would’ve died too if you were there.
The Jonestown massacre is one of the darkest, heartbreaking yet so interesting cases i've listened too. I'm genuinely so happy to hear that he reacted to this.
The whole jonestown story is honestly really sad and terrifying, i saw a thing on Netflix called how to be a cult leader or smth like that and they had an ep about the cult leader. Its was terrible
Jim Jones recorded the full massacre. It's on UA-cam and I watched it. You could hear children and the people scream crying the whole time they were being poisoned. Up until the final 5 seconds it was pure and utter silence. Just pure creepy music.
20:33 not entirely important but I just wanted to point out that this part of the audio was used in the beginning of a song from the goth band, concrete blonde called “Jonestown”
My cousin has a cup with a picture of Jim Jones on it that says “Drink Up”. I didn’t realize until half way through this video that it was referencing the same thing. I remember my cousin telling me what it meant so I don’t know how I didn’t realize.
Colts attack when you’re vulnerable. They get you at your lowest or get you in using family and friends. You may think that you could never end up in this situation but you never know.
My mom and dad is from guyana and to see more stuff from the past about where my mom and dad is from is crazy and to know my mom was there around this time is crazy to
I watched a documentary on this case when I was little and recently listened to the 40-minute recording, and that is why I can't stand cults or religion in general
8:40 Hey Christian here, I'm here to say that what ever that pastor did was fake. Also when you meet a pastor, you have to detect their vibe before fully believing them. Story: one of the churches I use to go to, the pastor retired. He was such a sweetheart and he lives in Texas now. The man who replaced him gave me the creeps. Every one else was fine with him but I was very distant with him. I got called out osscaionaly for it but I never minded it because they never knew. One day he admitted that he struggled with drugs. I was alright...ok but there is something more to it. We did offerings and I had to put the plates in his office. To cut a long story short, I found 2 pound of coacine, 3 bottle of somewhat drank whiskey and words that weren't in any Latin or symbol language. Its been 5 years I was there but I'm happy to have left. I continue my studies at home but It would take me a while to get back in the building
the more i read about jonestown the more im like WHAT. the reason he got big and many people followed him was because of he would act and aid in progressive stuff at the time to get more support but he was always twisted. he slowly used multiple abuse tactics to always make the followers not realize the probliem. In jonestown, apparently people who wanted to leave were sedated by DRUGS to fix behavior, and Jones himself would take them to stay awake and sleep. Amphetamines, which he took, causes paranoia, so it just made him more deranged. He wore glasses cuz his eyes were red from drugs. sooooooooooo uh ya. charasmatic criminals are dangerous.
It’s not an immediate death. You won’t die in seconds and it’s an awful death. Those people suffered (even a couple minutes is too much for someone to go through something like that). Children were forced to drink it even though people around them were already starting to die. It’s so horrible. Every time I hear about cults that exist in our time it makes me sick. I’ll never understand allowing someone to trick you in that way and to allow the kids to be exposed to such a thing.
20:08 ima be real and I hope the person I’m talking about doesn’t see this but my friend she literally said she was asexual and she was bragging to me about touching 12 upper parts that day and then said she wasn’t gay
When it comes to cult leaders, they are terrifying because they can come off as extremely charismatic, persuasive, intelligent, and understanding. Jim Jones found people who were emotionally, financially, and spiritually lost and would prey on them. Yes, it should be obvious from an outsider looking in that they are being used. However, when one experiences a great loss in their life that the most rational thought is to find a community that would accept them (unfortunately, most communities can end up as cults).
I'll have you know we do not have everything documented, new species are found quite often. And There's still a lot of unexplored ocean, so there's bound to be small island or island chains with some sort of creatures.
A good example of an animal living yet not being a proper discovery until later would be the Aye-aye (pronounced eye eye) in my opinion. the story of what happened to that animal back then and is still happening is sad.
It was so dark but im glad both of them made it out alive. Its so scary to think and actually even see cult members on the street casually trying to sway people and prey on sad looking ones on the streets itself like its nothing nowadays. Like that nothing even is done legally against it at all is mildly concerning to say the least

These true crime videos are so scary and heartbreaking, but they are so intriguing and fascinating to watch.

Honestly I'm glad Kenji is doing videos about it this he brightens the mood honestly I would be crying
I was really interested in this cult so I did a lot of research and found the tape when people were drinking the poison. I listened to the whole thing it was the most disturbing recording i ever heard you could hear the kids crying as the parents forced them to drink first…
Fuck I feel so bad for them all, and for everyone who had heard that. I pray that the people of the cult can finally be at peace in heaven.
Damn....
WTF
That's just terrifying it's so sad
I don't understand, why the kids first ?
304 children died that day, many force-fed the poison through syringes in their mouths by their parents. I was 10 yrs old when this happened and to this day I remember how everyone and everything around me (I'm from the Netherlands) seemed to be covered by this heavy blanket of fear and sorrow.

My parents always told me, “don’t drink the koolaid” if I was believing a lie or a scam 💀
Now we know why
This cult is where the saying is from.
Oh wow
Outlast 2 is inspired by Jonestown. That's why Kenji noticed similarities.
Yeah i was about to say this must be what the inspiration was for that game
This is crazy dude...
funny fact my parents met in a cult which they were both born in so now i hate cults even more 😊
What kind of cult??
@@chococofffeethey probably don’t know the name, or it doesn’t have one. There are hundreds of cults in the world anyways, it shouldn’t really matter.
The Jonestown massacre is one of the darkest, heartbreaking yet so interesting cases i've listened too. I'm genuinely so happy to hear that he reacted to this.
haven't finished the video yet, but it's so hard to take the video seriously with that damn model dude LMFAO it always makes me laugh
The way the face of his model occasionally winds all the way to face the opposite direction is what kills me.
@@Asurendra117 LMFAO YES sometimes even just the shifty eyes looking back and forth and the subtle opening of the mouth gets me
The whole jonestown story is honestly really sad and terrifying, i saw a thing on Netflix called how to be a cult leader or smth like that and they had an ep about the cult leader. Its was terrible
The best feeling in the world: eating while watching a new Kenji video
When i first hear about this story about a year ago i was shocked at how cruel the cult leader was especially to the children
Kenji -- Challenges Jim Jones. --
Also Kenji -- Lit up like fourth of July in five seconds.--
15:22 kenji really said fight fire with fire😂 make a cult inside the cult!!!! That’s the plan
Jim Jones recorded the full massacre. It's on UA-cam and I watched it. You could hear children and the people scream crying the whole time they were being poisoned. Up until the final 5 seconds it was pure and utter silence. Just pure creepy music.
Kenji never disapoints
Kenji’s vids always make my day 💗💗
As i live in guyana i used to love hearing this story as a child and it always like told me to never give up when im at my lowesrt
As a Christian, this is heartbreaking to watch. To use the love of Christ as a way to manipulate others and do evil is so insane to me.

HOW DO U UPLOAD THIS FAST? LOVE YOU LMAO
yooo

I remember watching a video on the jonestown massacre, it was so depressed and disturbing. I hope everyone who died now rests in peace
2:40 I DONT WANT TO LIVE HERE ANYMORE KENJI SCARED ME TO WANT TO MOVE
15:20 this dude got a good imagination 🤣
Istg I can’t stop watching your vids T^T
31:07 tried googling how long cyanide takes bc i was curious if chat was telling the truth and i got a suicide helpline 😭😭 scared the shit out of me
2 to 5 minutes
5:46 This boy's name was John Victor Stoen. He unfortunately did not survive Jonestown.
You know it’s a good day when you get a notification from from UA-cam and it’s Kenji
i remember my teacher made us watch this in 7th grade, literally changed the way i think about everything
ngl it was so hard to watch, im just sorry for all those people who got brainwashed, thanks to kenji jokes i didnt cry lmao
The way the Jones town tape of their death is available to listen too is crazy and very interesting to listen too
My mom and dad is from guyana and to see more stuff from the past about where my mom and dad is from is crazy and to know my mom was there around this time is crazy to
I watched a documentary on this case when I was little and recently listened to the 40-minute recording, and that is why I can't stand cults or religion in general
I just like how he randomly started talking about a skin walker lol
8:40
Hey Christian here, I'm here to say that what ever that pastor did was fake. Also when you meet a pastor, you have to detect their vibe before fully believing them.
Story: one of the churches I use to go to, the pastor retired. He was such a sweetheart and he lives in Texas now. The man who replaced him gave me the creeps. Every one else was fine with him but I was very distant with him. I got called out osscaionaly for it but I never minded it because they never knew. One day he admitted that he struggled with drugs. I was alright...ok but there is something more to it. We did offerings and I had to put the plates in his office. To cut a long story short, I found 2 pound of coacine, 3 bottle of somewhat drank whiskey and words that weren't in any Latin or symbol language.
Its been 5 years I was there but I'm happy to have left. I continue my studies at home but It would take me a while to get back in the building
ngl tho, kenji is actually one of the men I feel safe around
Yessss kenji post
Man if i saw this when this first came out then i would've spoiled everything 😅
another day another post by kenji 🥳
they made a movie based on this case, The Sacrament. it was really good
Dang, really? Was it accurate to the story?
Talking blood clot is so crazy lmao 😭😭‼️
erm ..... what 😭 im scared, so scared in fact I closed my window sheets just to be safe 😭😭😭😭

charasmatic criminals are dangerous.
Love your videos ❤

The background music this specific true crime channel always uses reminds me of vanilla World of Warcraft soundtrack

Why am I so early for these vids all the time 😭
I think I am traumatized I am also one the verge of tears 😢
The tape is so disturbing, probably one of the worst things I’ve ever heard. I wish I never listened to it.
Knowing what happens and seeing Jones show all the kool-aid they had during the video made me feel cold and sick
20:08 ima be real and I hope the person I’m talking about doesn’t see this but my friend she literally said she was asexual and she was bragging to me about touching 12 upper parts that day and then said she wasn’t gay
Nah let's go to Kenji town 😅😅
Noooo!! Why did they have to come to my country?? This is one of the only reasons why people know us 😭😭😭
Ayoo Kenji😎
21:02
_KENJI WHAT THE FUCK_
the only reason I didnt cry was cuz I most literally hugged my fcking laptop
I wanna go to kenji land
(This is an edit after i watched the full video)
I'mA CRy I sWEar 😭
Hiii kenjiii I'm at the moviessss I'll watch it soon tho! Also don't drink the Kool aid! (Little joke for this cult)
8:58 i would live in kenjitown

Kenji how the hell did you go through your entire life and never hear about Jonestown?
When Kenji finds out about the FLDS and the other Polygamy cult groups his mind gon be blown with what they do to people
nah cause i was falling asleep to this and deadass thought “he sound like donald trump” before kenji said some 😭
Jones knew what he was doing 😨😨
The poor senator who thought he could save all those people :(
You should do more of this and more vids (love u and take care of yourself) :)
The girls at my school can be quite fruity but the boys are so much worse
I can’t even say anything because it’s so bad 😭
The all fruity mf
did he said "the boy in the white pajamas?" i pretty sureits called "the boy in thw striped pajamas"
Jim Jones no Jim Stones after Kenji's done with throwing rocks at him!
2:28 I believe it’s skin walkers because it’s a pretty big part of my culture
as soon as i saw the plane, i knew it was Jonestown.
I'll have you know we do not have everything documented, new species are found quite often. And There's still a lot of unexplored ocean, so there's bound to be small island or island chains with some sort of creatures.
hi kenjii
Yo, Kenji, what you using to make your avatar. So cute. ❤😊❤
A good example of an animal living yet not being a proper discovery until later would be the Aye-aye (pronounced eye eye) in my opinion. the story of what happened to that animal back then and is still happening is sad.
HEYY KENJI
