What a Creep: Reverend Jim Jones "The Jonestown Massacre" (Cult Creep)

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!
