When i say, im god, then i feel it well up in my soul and i see it well up in you, and i see the sick healed and the blind see and the dead raised. In truth, he was a liar, a charlatan, a phony faith healer. This from the same sermon in 1972 talking about a 90yearold with a bad leg. His leg was healed instantaneously because he saw me as god, god, god, god, god watch this woman who jones said had a broken leg. A helper cuts through the cast. Now the leg was broken yesterday . Now run jones asks if she feels any pain. Jump up and down real quick. No pain whatsoever. Thats it. They traveled around the country and held these meetings, pulled these fake healings and fake miracles and people would shell out money like you wouldnt believe. This is jerry parks as he looked back then. He was fooled for years. But it was all through lies and fake healings and all that stuff. The man was fake. I know now that he was fake from the beginning. By his own account, jim jones was born on the wrong side of the tracks in a small indiana town in the depression years. At 21, jones became a student pastor by taking a correspondence course. Within a few years he had started his own church in indianapolis. Named it peoples temple and opened its doors to africanamericans. He and his wife marceline became an interracial family through adoption and embraced racial harmony in an era that resisted it. But even then jones preached of catastrophe. At that time the cold war was going on, and he was saying a bomb was going to fall and there would be a nuclear war. In the mid60s, jones moved his church outside the town of ukiah in Northern California. He got this revelation slou to come to ukiaha california. There was a cave out here. A cave in the hills around Redwood Valley that would shield everyone from nuclear fallout. I know now as sure as im sitting here and i knew and have for a long time there was no such place. It was all one of his lies. Jones built this church and offered sanctuary there, a safety net to the elderly and poor, usually blacks from the inner city. They signed over their Social Security checks and the peoples temple cared for them for the rest of their lives. He built this whole thing on the premise of brotherhood, economic equality and a world where no babies go to bed hungry. Jerry parks and his family followed jones from the midwest out to ukiah in 1966. Jerry got a job in a supermarket. He started talking about everybody giving 25 of their income. I sat down one time and figured after i got back how much money i gave that man, and it was around 76,000 bucks. His youngest daughter tracy learned to fear jones when she started school and was told to stay away from other children. If you got caught talking to people that were not affiliated with the church then you would be in trouble for that. Trouble at jim jones wednesday night meetings. He called them catharsis, the purging of evil. So i was scared to do anything wrong because i was scared i would be called up and be beaten. Leslie wilson was 13 when she first encountered the peoples temple and the hold it had on members. What happened in catharsis . If you were doing something incorrectly which nine times out of ten someone would find something you did incorrectly you would be called to the floor and disciplined. How . Either by a paddle or being spanked. You were hit . Uhhuh. In front of the whole church . Oh, yes. Grown people . Yes. Spanked . Yes. Who did the spanking . Whoever he deemed to do it. Her mother joined the peoples temple as a haven where leslies sister michelle on the right could get help for her drug problem. As a minister, leslie said, jim jones could be spellbinding. He could quote scripture and turn around and preach socialism. He appealed to anyone on any level at any time. Even so, racial equality came with exceptions. The majority of the congregation was africanamerican. The people who ran the church, the leadership, were they majority africanamerican . No. They were majority caucasian. The dark side of jim jones was always there. What did you have to call him . Father. Like he was god . Correct. Jones would boast openly in church about his sexual couplings with both women and men. For me sitting there listening to it, i thought it was insane. And i dont understand, soledad, why they didnt grab my hands and run like crazy when he spoke of having sex with men and women in the pulpit. I dont know what drove her to stay. Ill never have that question answered. Just ahead, rehearsing suicide. Five minutes later jones says, youve all just been poisoned. You have an hour to live.

Come treat yourself to feast fit for the season before it ends. This is the peoples temple membership, now numbering in the hundreds in Redwood Valley, california, in the 70s. By then tim carter was already getting an early taste of how it would all end. We had a very small vineyard on the ranch in Redwood Valley. And they said, hey, grapes would come in from the ranch and they have wine, does anybody want some wine . And so each of us got this styrofoam cup with about threequarters threequarters filled with wine and drank the wine and like five minutes later jones says, youve all been poisoned. You have an hour to live. It was a test for jim jones trusted inner circle. They did not panic or resist. Now when i look back on that whole thing now, you know, you think that might have been the wakeup call that it was time to get out of dodge . Yeah, absolutely. That should have been. I should have been gone the next day. Carter stayed on. He was a marine vet who survived some of the worst fighting in vietnam. He came home bitter, a cynic, a hippie, and joined the peoples temple in 1973. That same year, jim jones reached a deal in guyana to begin clearing land in the jungle for a future settlement he would call jonestown. Jones chose guyana because its government was socialist, its people black and englishspeaking. It is a small country, not even a Million People on the north coast of south america. Beautiful Promised Land. Beautiful Promised Land. Those were jones words for his creation, a place where he and his people could practice socialism, live in harmony and answer only to themselves. We wanted to have a better world. You know, a better society, one without racism, sexism, ageism, economic equality for people. Verne gosney joined the church in california about that same time. He and his wife, an interracial couple, were welcome. The peoples temple was a rich tapestry of people. They were people who had survived adverse situations, racism, discrimination, just very difficult lives, and they had triumphed to that point. In 1975, jones moved his Church Headquarters from Redwood Valley down to San Francisco to a larger stage where he became a Political Force and a face in photoops. Roslyn carter was campaigning for jimmy carter. I believe that was 1976, and there was going to be a rally downtown. Literally, we stuffed the building. We were the rally. This photo of tim carter with the woman he loved, gloria, was taken at the Golden Gate Bridge during another public appearance. When jim jones was asked to give the benediction for the new Suicide Prevention barrier that had been erected. Thats right. Only a year before jonestown took its own life, jim jones was praying over a Suicide Prevention barrier. In that summer of 1977, jones was facing increasing criticism from some members who fled the church because they no longer believed in jones. When new west magazine published an expose article about church beatings, jim jones suddenly decided to leave the country. He began putting his flock on planes to south america, by the dozens, day after day. Teenagers and Young Children were among the first to go. Parents followed. I got this phone call that says, its time for you to go, and this voice entered my head that said if you dont go now, you will never see your child again. Leslie wilson had become pregnant at 18. This is her son jakari. The father took the boy to guyana first so leslie followed. What was it like in guyana . Beautiful . Paradise . Not paradise by any means. Did it feel like you were in captivity . Oh, right away, right away. Your passports were taken right away, seized. And this did not raise red flags or it did . It did. In your heart of hearts you had to know that there was no way out. There was no way out. Tim carter praised jonestown in this testimonial. Its beautiful. I cant ive never been so totally happy or fulfilled in my life. As long as he was not being eaten up by bugs. You could see him scratching the bites. These are home movies made by jim jones to attract Church Members to his namesake. American bananas are nothing like these. He showed off the supplies. Flour, flour, rice, blackeyed peas. And then this. Koolaid. Koolaid. The reality of jonestown, hard work, long hours, too much heat, too little sleep, and as Leslie Wilson remembers, meager food. Dinner was rice and gravy and sometimes soup with chicken feet sticking out. She wrote this letter to a friend there in jonestown. I now feel as if my whole being is worthless here. Im now 21 years old and my life will surely consist of nothing more than it does now. At the bottom she wrote destroy this now. But at a wednesday catharsis meeting my letter was being read by jim in front of the whole congregation, and if i could have crawled in that guyanese soil and dug a hole so deep, i would have done it. I was just in fear. Your best friend turned you in . My best friend turned me in. As punishment, leslie was placed on a hard work detail. For her the Promised Land was a failure. Were not going to make a difference in the world because no one knew about us. No one cared. We were just this bunch of folks living in the jungle, surviving. The utopia was a hoax . It was a hoax, and that realization itself was overwhelming. When we return, a secret plan to kill. Cyanide is one of the most rapidly acting poisons.

As soon as jerry parks arrived at the entrance to jonestown in the spring of 1978 with his wife and youngest daughter, he saw guards with guns. I seen those armed guards. Thats when my heart fell. I knew then, that weight i got in jonestown, i knew then that i had made the biggest mistake of my life. Reverend jim jones home movies helped lure parks and his family to guyana. It was going to be a city right in the middle of a jungle and made it sound like really a paradise. Instead, he found hell on earth. Jerry parks complained about the heat, the food, the confinement. Life dont get any worse than that. That was literally a jungle prison. In front of the congregation, jim jones told parks the only other thing you can do is either adjust or walk through the jungle and its meet snakes and all that [ bleep ] and one wants to do that and guns. Can be arrested by police and be put in a federal penitentiary. Jones would punish parks. He called me up front and he says, i hear you want to go back home, and he started beating on me. He had two, three security that were karate experts hammering on me pretty good. Parks was put on a hard work crew out in the hot sun digging ditches. In jonestown, even his 11yearold daughter tracy parks got up for work before dawn each day. I had to work in the rice fields. You had to use a big machete or the big rake that had the knife at the bottom and you had to cut the grass down. One day she went to the infirmary with an earache. And they looked in there and pulled out a cockroach the size of my half of my thumb, huge. Tracy parks saw no future in jonestown. I knew that in the first month there that im stuck here and that im most likely going to die here. Verne gosney came a month after the parks. He brought his 4yearold son, mark. His wife had fallen into a coma during childbirth and never came out. Gosney sank into a haze of drugs. I did use heroin. I used amphetamines. I used cocaine, marijuana, lsd. He came to jonestown to get clean and did. Their idea of a drug treatment was, you know, work you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and if you mess up, beat your ass. I mean, thats their drug treatment program. He soon found jim jones controlled everything. Its a dictatorship. It was supposed to be a socialism, but it really was fascism. Jones own words. This organization is built upon the dictatorship and i am goddamn it, very much in control. Jonestown was failing. Not much was growing in the fields. Most food had to be shipped in and jim jones had begun to talk about another move, to communist russia. Long live this socialist dream thats beautiful. Church members were told to learn a new language. You had to Say Something in russian before you could get anything to eat. Little old ladies coming up, older people, elderly people, you know, they couldnt do it. They couldnt memorize anything and he would turn them away. Yet unknown to parks, unknown to gosney or almost anyone outside the inner circle jones was already preparing for their death. This is a memo written to jones by the peoples temple doctor six months before the mass suicide. It reads in part cyanide is one of the most rapidly acting poisons. I would like to give about two grams to a large pig to see how effective our batch is. The test apparently was never carried out, but thats not the point. While in guyana we made a startling discovery. The church had been buying cyanide long before most of the members arrived here in jonestown. Cnn has learned that for at least two years the church was buying a quarter pound of the deadly poison each month. By the time congressman ryan first began raising questions about jonestown, six pounds or more of cyanide had already been shipped here, strong evidence that the reverend jim jones had been plotting the death of his followers long before that fateful day. Were told jonestown had obtained a jewelers license to buy the cyanide which can be used to clean gold, but there was no jewelry operation in jonestown. In that last year, jones never left the jungle camp, a prisoner of his own making hiding from a Court Custody fight over this young boy he claimed he sired by another mans wife. Jones would summon his people to mass meetings they called white nights and rant about suicide if under attack by the cia or the Guyanese Army or other known unknown forces. If youre not prepared to die for your children, you will not stand up for your children. For months jones will tell parents their children might have to die. At some point you will sacrifice your children. You have to make that commitment. At one meeting jones tried to get jerry parks to promise to kill his daughter tracy if the camp were invaded. How old is your child . 11. At 11 unless it came to an overwhelming invasion. Then we would gently put them to sleep which we have and they would never know what has hit them. Weve already prepared for that are. And i thought, you know what . Am i the only one in this cotton picking group thats got the guts to stand up and say, no, i dont want to commit suicide . From that moment on jerry parks sai
