Summary Note

This Jonestown community meeting from the spring of 1978 includes many elements of gatherings from that period – discussions of the infamy of relatives, recitations of the news, and a political philosophy that seems shaped more by external events than by a consistent ideology – but there is much laughter and light-hearted play through most of the tape. Even when the conversation steers towards the serious, like the White Night the community finds itself in once again, the tone is conversational, almost routine, rather than fearful or threatening. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
