about

The audio here comes from Jonestown tape Q775, in which Marceline Jones and Linda Sharon Amos, both figures in the inner circle of Peoples Temple leadership, surreptitiously record a visit to former members Linda and Clara Swaney in which they attempt to convince Linda Swaney to return. However, the Swaney sisters raise a number of serious concerns about Peoples Temple: that members work to the point of exhaustion toward unproductive ends, that the real "cause" around which everything is organized is a man (Jim Jones) prone to constant manipulation, and that Jim Jones relies on his godlike image within the organization to empower him to "use" his followers sexually in a way that threatens their mental and emotional health.

lyrics

I just don’t see the movement anymore there

All right, you two go out

there- there’s no accomplishment in the movement

No accomplishment
to see the people in the- in the-
being helped in the court
the children are getting hope
The black women and men
for the first time in their lives
feel like men and women
You, you don’t see that?

No

Well, I don’t know then

Well, what did they have before?
You know, I mean, I remember-

What do they have now?
What do they have-

They feel that they have a purpose
someone to care about them
that’ll fight for their children
They really do
I mean, if you-
if you’ve had much chance to talk to them
When I talk to people
they- they feel for the first time
that their lives have meaning
What- What did they have, you know
going to working on their knees day after day?
They- They didn’t have-

They’re still doing that
they’re still doing that, you know
and they’re dedicating their lives
and they’re giving it their all
to something where nothing ever happens

Linda, it’s not time for it to happen

And when is going to be the time, though?
When is going to be the time?

You know
I don’t think that I uh
lost faith in a-
in a cause or a vision
but I think that I mainly lost faith in Jim
and he is the cause.

Well, now what-
what did you lose faith in?
In what part?

Just in Jim, you know, in the, in the-

What did he do that made you lose faith?

Just the manipulation
the total manipulation everywhere
It just seemed like everywhere we went, you know
it was just manipulation
Manipulation on people within
mani- manipulation on people without

What else could that kid go through?
It’s a wonder she’s even got a decent mind on her
For an image of Jim put up as God
and then use her sexually?
