No one joins a cult; everyone joins a good thing, but once you’re in too deep, it can be impossible to tell the difference.
A cult conversation wouldn’t be complete without Jonestown, the Peoples Temple, and its monstrous leader Jim Jones. The Peoples Temple was supposed to be a beacon of hope for Jim Jones’ followers. Instead, it developed into a living nightmare as people were manipulated, brainwashed, and ultimately led to their death. Join us as we dive into one of the deadliest cults in human history in part three of our cult miniseries.
