Have a cup of punch.

Most of you probably were not alive when this happened. Ask your parents if they remember it?

by **vtmarik** on Sat Nov 04, 2006 2:52 pm

Awesome, it's about time it got the modern-day documentary approach.

by **2dimes** on Sat Nov 04, 2006 2:53 pm

Yeah, I just edited it to read punch.

Ah, now I have to edit my post to eliminate that thing now that it has no origination...

I'm listening to the death tape now. The thing is chilling.

I never knew he had a lisp at the end.

Caleb makes me think of Jim, I guess that's wrong though because I'm reminded that at least Jim wasn't a racist.

In one of the clips Jim Jones said cool-aid.

Hey you got a link? I'm trying to assemble a Timothy Leary vs. ______ mix techno song thing... Probably either over VNV Nation's "Joy" or "Genesis"

Yup.

He just said. Something about knowing the answer to a question because "I am a prophet." brutal.

by **2dimes** on Sat Nov 04, 2006 3:34 pm

Pretty major god complex here.

Jim said "with out me there is no life, I'm the best friend you'll ever have."

Later he'll say have a beverage on me.

And they all took his "testimony" on faith. Sad they didnt question any of it.

Is Jone's town a horror movie?

Sort of.

I was in high school when this happened and remember it fairly well. It really brought to light the dangers of religious cults and brainwashing as the Reverend Jim "Do-You-Want-Some-KoolAid" Jones was a master.

Yeah Marshall Applewhite leader of "Heaven's Gate" was another one much more recent but people seem to be forgetting him.

they did a movie about jonestown way back. i think it something that really doesn't need to be done again.

Yeah they should sweep it under the carpet so it's easier to repeat.

by **2dimes** on Sun Nov 05, 2006 10:37 am

Jones and Applewhite were both born in may 1931.

cult activities have been around since the world began. there have been other extreme cults that have done mass suicides since the jonestown incident. these groups scoop up the depressed, forgotten, people who are searching for something better.
the approach is the same. become their friends, isolate them, and, brainwashing tactics.
whether it is political, religious, hate related. these cults exist and feed off of people fears, desires and hopes & dreams.

the list is endless. and, revisiting Jonestown is just sad. i for one wouldn't pay money to see a movie staring a crazy man and his ideology

by **2dimes** on Mon Jan 22, 2007 6:24 pm

So you think Tom Cruise will get the lead role?

Then I hope you didn't watch Farenheight 9/11.

by **2dimes** on Tue Aug 17, 2010 1:51 am

Well, it apears to have been finished and then dissapeared. I found it in parts on youtube and hope to watch it soon. Should have a ton of shudder moments.

Props to Kool-Aid Megacorp for overcoming this marketing disaster.

Have they? The punch was a different brand all along.

Enough about the Democratic and Republican parties - we're talking about cults here.
