    Hi friends happy Monday!
    Hope you are all staying safe and healthy out there. Sorry I went a little MIA but I am happy to be back. Today I wanted to talk about Jim Jones and what was going on with his whole situation. This could easily be a 3 part series, there are so many more people and factors that came into play as well, but I wanted to keep it simple and focus on Jim and his life. Honestly, it would've gotten so confusing QUICK if I started throwing all these different names at you. Anywho, thank you guys so much for stopping by and hanging out with me. Hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day, Love and appreciate you guys so much!! I hope to be seeing you very soon

    As a black girl I can confirm: Black churches are so lively and everyone is always happy to be there. The shouting(form of dancing) and music or even the food that we have after it's all comforting. Really shows their passion for all they do and believe in. Proud of that

    Jim Jones scares me like no other cult leader because his early message of equality is one I would have agreed with, and might have been tempted to follow. Other cults leave me wondering how these people got taken in by the leader, but with Jones, I know exactly how. I can see myself as one of his followers and it terrifies me.

    At my previous job I worked with a woman who survived this nightmare. Her, her son, mom, sister, and her husband all lived in Jonestown. When Jim Jones was telling everyone they had to die, she fled in the rainforest with her baby on her back. Unfortunately, her family didn’t join her. She had to leave in secret because she knew it was her only way out. A tragedy.
    PS she’s literally one of the sweetest, kindest people I know. Her name is Leslie and she actually wrote a book about her experience. It’s called Slavery of Faith by Leslie Wagner-Wilson

    Jonestown is one of the few stories that truly make my skin crawl. I know this might just be a theory, but can you imagine being an african american in the times of segregation and you hear of this wonder church that accepts everyone and truly cares for you? Can you imagine how many african americans viewed his church as a sanctuary? A safe haven? A place where they truly felt equal? This monster could've easily make some of my family his victims and it sickens me. I hope he rots for eternity.

      That’s why anyone or any group that demands you agree or you’re the enemy is shady. It’s so important to REALLY know what a groups truly stands for and always question them! If they get mad when questioned it’s a red flag. Anybody that I’m going to represent I’m making sure I 100% know everything about them.

    Bailey isn’t lying about that last tape. I had to listen to some of it for a college course years ago, and it is truly devastating. You hear people screaming in pain, including CHILDREN and BABIES, and you hear mothers wailing because their children are dying. There’s one point where mothers are crying and begging to keep their children from taking the poison, and Jim Jones is telling them they have to let their children go. You don’t forget that tape once you hear it. Jim Jones is an absolute monster.

    Some of my aunts and uncles knew Jim Jones, went to school with him at Richmond High School. One of my uncles said Jim was a real nice guy and was shocked to hear the news. My Mom tells a story about how this little Black boy walked into a barbershop in Richmond to get his hair cut for his mother's funeral. The White barber refused and Jim Jones stood up for the child. He shamed the barber for refusing the boy service when he just wanted to be presentable for his mother's funeral. This tragedy is heartbreaking on so many levels.

    I was purposely skipping over this video because I knew that someone in my family was killed in the massacre. But last night my cousin made a post about my great grandfather who was killed in Jonestown because she learned new info about it so I figured I should watch. I called my mom and she still cries over it, she misses her grandpa. She’s still heartbroken because she had a close relationship with him and remembers spending so much time with him when she was younger. She told me before how her older sister was planning on going to Jonestown with him and his second wife but didn’t end up going. Thankfully she didn’t and she’s still alive today. It hurts to know that this is part of my history.

      Over the last few days I’ve been speaking to more family members and getting more details of what things were like for Jim Jones’ followers. My mother says every night when they sat down for dinner there was a photo of Jones hanging there near the dinner table. They also hung a photo of him over their bedroom doorway. When they would arrive at/depart from the church my mother and her siblings (children at the time) would have to cover their eyes while their grandpa walked them into the church or into the car. They had to do this because people would be protesting and holding signs that their grandpa didn’t want them to read. The protesters would shout that there was a witch in the church. It’s so sad that my great grandfather was so convinced. He sold several properties that he owned and gave it all for Jim Jones and to move to Jonestown.

      Or in a nursing home, especially back then when they weren't regulated as much back then. Very scary. I was able to choose the nursing home that I went to after I fractured my upper right humerus, yes that bone. The food was better than some places might have been. And I visited him every day to make sure he was taken care of properly, they did an excellent job with him and everyone else there. He was high maintenance, to put it lightly. Constantly calling the nurses or aides for help when I could easily do something for him.

    Actually, Bailey, if you haven't already, this would make for a brilliant "Dark History" video if you haven't already. It is MACABRE. On the morning of the 19th, Guyanese foot soldiers went to the compound and it was dead quiet. The whole ground was apparently covered in a veil of fog. They described the ground feeling damp and marshy. But that silence was shattered when a younger teenage foot soldier actually saw what he was walking on. He apparently screamed and screamed, went into hysterics. All he could say was "BODIES! ITS ALL BODIES! EVERYWHERE". I hope that man is okay.

      I know a man whose parents were apart of his church, but they left when he went to south america. They went out to Arkansas and built a house in the mountains in Mena. He does work for people there, but won't take money for anything. People just put money in his account at a hardware store or they buy groceries for him and his family. He is actually a really sweet man. He never raises his voice, cusses, or anything like that. Only one of his kids was born in a hospital, and they are great kids. He doesn't really remember Jim, but he said he liked going to the church because sometimes his dad would let him have a coke after.

    My dad was in the airforce during this time and he was sent out to Jonestown. His war skill was mortuary so he had to bag and tag all the bodies there. He said that he didn't handle Jim's body, although his buddy did. He recounted his experience to me and said how they were alerted to get on a plane and had no idea what was going on or where they were going. They then landed in Panama and were notified at that point exactly what was happening and where they were going. They went from there to Jonestown. He told me about all he saw there, and it was horrifying. He said often bodies were falling apart since they were exposed for some time to the elements. Mothers holding their children that still had the liquid in their bottles. He has ptsd from his experience there and said he still has nightmares many nights about it. I only just learned about all this from him recently about him going there and it was so wild to me listening to him talk about it even though I'd already known a lot about Jonestown.

    If anyone is interested in this kind of stuff, I would look into Stories from Jonestown. It focuses more on the members of the Temple (who honestly were victims in this case) instead of Jim Jones himself, and was written by one of the members of the Tectonic Theatre Project (who was behind The Laramie Project). There’s an opinion Times article that I think is worth a read: “The Story of Jonestown is more than Jim Jones.”
    I’m glad you gave context to the entire situation that explains what happened up to the event.

    My grandfather went to school with Jim Jones. Not like high school, but a theology type of school as an early 20 something. He said that the best way to describe Jim Jones, was CHARISMA!! He said that there was always a group of people around him, listening to his theories & ideas. He said that when Jim spoke to you, it felt like you were the only & most important person on earth. He said Jim was able to manipulate & maneuver any situation to his own desire. My grandfather said Jim scared him, alot. When the church was in the process of moving to Jonestown, Jim got in touch with my grandfather & invited my family to join them. He said that it would only cost $25k per member of the family to join them in "paradise." I'm really glad that my grandfather passed on that invite. But it is cool that my family has such a creepy connection. Ok... that's my claim to fame. Thanks for this video! It was awesome!

    This gave me chills because we’re seeing Jim Jones-like false teachers in the modern church today. I hope people don’t generalize Christianity based on the first part of this story.

    • @HarryPairatestes363
      @HarryPairatestes363 7 місяців тому

      There is really nothing to generalize. Jones--even in his younger years-was a self professed Atheist and Marxist who very cynically and opportunistically used a "religious" platform to prey upon people like the insidious vulture that he was. The idea that Jones 'started out' a Christian, then transformed into a secularist, is just pure fantasy. I have a stack of documents obtained via a FOIA request, as well as a number of books on this subject, and honestly, I don't believe he had any real core beliefs or convictions whatsoever; a megalomaniac and sociopath if there ever was one... And very likely working in the service of others who were as bad as he was.

  • @spidey_things

    At first I felt so conflicted because he seemed like a great person, I knew that he wasnt going to be because Bailey was making a video on him. But like, not being racist, creating a church where both black and white people could come and preach their religion. Making companies accept black customers, helping teenagers get to college for free with free housing and free food. Even the stores that helped out the community get clothes that they may need while helping the other people in the community get rid of some unwanted objects or clothing in their homes. Everything else, horrible, but those things made me think that he wasnt so bad at first.

    My dads grandmother was one of the followers who went with them to Guyana. I remember watching a documentary about it when I was a kid and my dad spoke up about it. He said he remembers going to the church as a kid in California & seeing the “miracle” sermons Jim would have. He said that the govt brought back the majority of the bodies but his grandmother’s body was never identified, so there’s no telling if she was left back there or brought back here. He got very teary eyed speaking about it and said he didn’t like talking about it...
