i'm pretty sure it's where people got the phrase 'drink the koolaid' from, they made a fuckton of flavor-aid in an oil barrel and then knocked that shit up with cynaide, valium and some other fun stuff

the waco seige was another fun cult pact-suicide story

i thiink they're interesting but there's defenitely some weird shit involved

On at least two occasions during White Nights, after a "revolutionary suicide" vote was reached, a simulated mass suicide was rehearsed. Peoples Temple defector Deborah Layton described the event in an affidavit:

"Everyone, including the children, was told to line up. As we passed through the line, we were given a small glass of red liquid to drink. We were told that the liquid contained poison and that we would die within 45 minutes. We all did as we were told. When the time came when we should have dropped dead, Rev. Jones explained that the poison was not real and that we had just been through a loyalty test. He warned us that the time was not far off when it would become necessary for us to die by our own hands."[69]

no they made it for their suicides

everyone decided to kill themselves because they just shot a fucking congressman 26 times and a bunch of media personel and they thought the US would do an air-raid on their shitty commune
