![]() I have been doing research on People's Temple for awhile now, and pretty much thought I understood the inside workings of this cult. I strongly recommend it as it will open your eyes and heighten your awareness. This is the definitive book I have ever read on cults, the People's Temple, and how good people get pulled in to such situations. I was also confused and frightened that these intelligent, educated, people who were seeking an inclusive church to be community for their family ended up in the "church" - and then ended up dead. Although it was only a short time I spent with them, I was grateful to know them and appreciative for their help and kindness. Weeks after that, they and their daughter were murdered in their home. ![]() They were warm, kind, and helpful people who helped me with my research and even came to class to be part of my presentation. ![]() Part of the research led me to the "Human Freedom Center" in Berkeley where I met "Al" and "Jeannie". ![]() I took a Summer class in Sociology and took on a project about cults - a hot topic of the day. The Summer of 1979 was between my junior and senior years of high school. ![]()
