CNN’s special about it airs tonight at 9pm eastern. I’ve always been fascinated at how far Christians can be pushed by these super charismatic people like Jim Jones. Jim Jones started out as a fairly respectable preacher who at one time had a huge following. He preached racial equality and social justice etc...His followers were, at one time, just ordinary everyday people who eventual killed their own children and themselves for this guy.

Anyhow, if you wanta watch it, it comes on tonight.

Thirty years ago, 900 people died by murder and suicide. Only a few survived. Now, CNN special correspondent Soledad O'Brien reports on their untold stories as "CNN Presents: Escape from Jonestown."
