I remember being a young child and seeing the video of this mass suicide on t.v. as I sat down to dinner. It disturbed me to no end and made me lose my appetite. Horrible.

I am not sure. I know I have seen a movie where Powers Boothe played Jones. but I might have seen another one. I actually thought his Father was a KKK man until I discovered he was Black

Talking about reversing history.

The “church” that Jones used to attend, in Lafayette, California, still has communist pastors, and are proud of it.

There really used to be a myth about purple jelly beans being poisonous, back in the ‘60s.

[momtothree]

Was that because of the purple dye? I remember when the companies stopped using red dye... annoyed my Mother to no end since she couldn’t get red lipstick.

I actually thought his Father was a KKK man until I discovered he was Black

His father was black?

Jonestown massacre forever coined the expression "they drank the kool-aid!"

Or, "I could have had a V-8!"
