60: Jim Jones and the People’s Temple, Part 3 - Where Are The Thundercats When You Need Them?
from Too Close to Home Podcast · host Jennifer Davis, Becky Johnson
Scott Mackenzie once sang, "If you're going to San Francisco, you're going to meet some gentle people there". This song was not written with Jim Jones in mind! In part three of this in-depth series, we see the establishment of the People's Temple headquarters in San Francisco, the rise of Jim Jones' short-lived political career, the escalating abuse, and what became the Temple's biggest ideology shift: abandoning all traces of traditional Christianity in favor of full-blown Apostolic Socialism... with Jim Jones at the center as a God-like figure to his congregants.
