Jim Jones from Pauline Groot
Nothing like a crisis to make me face things. In this case, it’s the fact that my so-called “dad” makes atomic bombs for a living. All my honky “relatives” are directly useful to the fascist conspiracy. I’m an accomplice to atomic bombs. I’ve dodged facing that guilt for years – now it’s getting home.
I also feel guilty in the opposite direction – if I weren’t socialist, none of my honky “relatives” would be in any danger of concentration camps. Because of me, they may be in camps yet. I don’t know how great the risk is. I don’t love them, but they did condition me to feel guilt over harming them. I worry sometimes.
The only protection for my honky “relatives” is for me to denounce them over the microphone, and hope the CIA knows which side they’re on. For maximum effect I should change my name, too. If you want to teach the audience about the danger, I will be glad to answer questions about scientists. I want to convince people (if anybody will listen) that those motherfuckers actually will push that button to start nuclear war. Is this OK? Please answer.

(continued from other side)
I also find that I need to change several of my own patterns. For instance, I often think people are hostile and trying to put me down, and get defensive, resentful and hostile. Back there this made sense but here it’s counterproductive, paranoid, and interferes with me making friends. I hate and fear situations where I don’t know what’s going on, even if my instructors are gentle and kind. I resist either by passive withdrawal and sleepiness, or active loud mouthing questions, delays and tactics to get attention.
I have a lot of trouble with the idea of People’s Temple committing group suicide to help the cause of international socialism or to avoid fighting the Guyanese. The idea itself bothers me, and so does the fact that you gave it such serious consideration. I guess I want your loyalty to be a personal loyalty to People’s Temple, more than a commitment to Socialism. Maybe I want that because that’s where I’m at. I’m not sure. It bothers me – I should have asked in the last people’s rally. I chickened out. Can this be discussed?

Undated letter to Jim Jones from Pauline Groot
Jim Jones from Pauline Groot
I’m nervous about Tom Partak – his patterns are a lot like mine and what happens to him could happen to me. Or if you don’t understand his patterns, you won’t understand mine when I need you. The biggest difference between us is that I write myself up. Also that I truly believe in the viciousness of the CIA. I’d rather face death here than go back there.
Anyway, I think you’re barking up the wrong tree. You assume that he’s isolated because he feels “better” than us niggers, you look for the prejudice and you resent his attitude. I don’t believe that’s where his head is at. I think that in his confusion, he thinks us niggers feel we’re “better” than he is. Most of his actions and confusion are direct results of this idea. Most of his actions and confusion are direct results of this idea.
You probably don’t think it’s possible that anybody could even think such an idea. I’ll try to explain.
In many European nations, children are not supposed to speak until spoken to. If the adult does not speak, the child must not speak. For the younger person to speak first is considered an intrusion and an insult. I think Partak’s dad demanded that.
In most black cultures, the younger person is supposed to speak first. Among blacks, not speaking is the insult and speaking first is the sign of respect.
The result is that when he’s trying hardest to be respectful, it comes across insulting. So he’s resented by the seniors and doesn’t know why. So he probably figures, ‘Well, “these people” don’t like me and never will.’ There’s no way he’d feel like part of the family in that situation.
You don’t believe it can happen? Jim, I was in that pattern. It took me 3 years to figure out what was wrong and retrain myself to say “Hello” without being afraid to a senior. And I like seniors too.
With the young people there is another pattern, but the same results, The problem is over “capping on.” In many European cultures, including my own Dutch pattern, this is considered extremely insulting. The belief is that whoever caps is acting like he’s better than the one being capped on, and that any
—–
EE-G-1-33
form of capping is insult, mockery, ridicule and put-down, and should not be tolerated by anybody with any self-respect. Many of our young people here feel that capping is normal friendly conversation and that anybody who doesn’t like it is some sort of “superior” prick, or just doesn’t want to talk to them at all. So in this clash of cultures, both sides feel rejected, scorned, and hurt.
To repeat my main point, Tom believes us niggers feel we’re better than he is. He thinks we aren’t even speaking to him. And we aren’t.
I watched this on cassava crew. People gave him orders every day; Hoe here, pitchfork there, stop picking at your athlete’s foot you filthy motherfucker, and so on. Danny Moton talks to him, but Danny’s assigned to guard him. Aside from that, you know how much friendly human conversation he gets in an average day? NONE – not even “hello.” I may be exaggerating. I get emotional on this subject because I’ve been in that situation and it nearly destroyed me, but that’s the pattern I saw. It upsets me.
I told Penny. She said he isolates himself. I didn’t fully believe it but it was possible. We agreed I should talk to him on breaks and try to bring him out of it. You know what happened? In 3 days I was hearing jokes about “Pauline Partak.” They weren’t funny jokes, either, they were real putdowns. A couple days later Joyce accused me of sucking up to Tom. I denied it angrily, Joyce repeated the accusation and I yelled “Fuck you!” Joyce said I’d be on learning crew for that, because in Rob’s absence she was acting crew supervisor and had yelled “Fuck you!” at a crew supervisor. I shut up but I was still mad.
So from Tom’s point of view, not only [crossed out: “would”] the cassava crew wasn’t speaking to him, they’d ridicule anyone else who did and try to prevent any friendship or even conversation.
Then when he tries to tell you he feels isolated, you get mad at him and assume that he feels superior! If even you don’t understand, what hope has he got?
—–
EE-1-G-34
Please don’t believe People’s Temple never rejects anybody. Us niggers aren’t that perfect yet.
I don’t think cassava crew meant anything serious in their teasing about “Pauline Partak”, and I don’t think they really intended to reject or isolate Tom. I think they don’t know what they’re doing to him. But the results are just as bad as if they knew.
Tuesday the arguement with Joyce, and Tuesday night he was talking about going home. Wednesday a break in the pattern, 5 minutes friendly human conversation with Odell. Wednesday night he was talking about being willing to stay and die with us. The correlation is exact.
If you once believe that he feels we are rejecting him, that we aren’t speaking to him, all his other actions make a single consistent pattern. For instance, moving to the piggery, wanting to leave, trying to commit suicide, the situation is so bad, if I were in it, I’d be desperate for any way out. The bad attitude and feeling of being separate from “these people” is normal for that situation. The voices in the head are something that happens to people who are too isolated, too long; the cure is enough real people talking to him in the real world. The wish for his mom, well, she may not have loved him but I bet she spoke to him. The work pattern, well, if people only spoke to me to give me orders, my attitude would be “Fuck you and your cassava too!”
His resistance is passive, he’s outnumbered and surrounded. And the mental confusion, well, if you act loving to him in some ways and then get mad every time he speaks of isolation, desperation, and loneliness which to him is his heart’s core – well, it would certainly confuse me. In fact, when I was in the same situation, it confused me a great deal. You acted so kind in some ways and so cruel other ways. I guess you just didn’t know where my head was at.
I don’t see Tom as racist or arrogant. He is isolated, he insulates himself with pride from the worst of the pain. He doesn’t love us but he doesn’t believe we love him either – in his mind he probably
—–
EE-1-G-35
thinks that what he’s doing to us is exactly what we’re doing to him.
Why doesn’t he leave and stay gone? Because all his life he’s been treated the same way, he hasn’t anything better than rejection and isolation, nowhere in the world and maybe never in his life. If you don’t believe that, you don’t know the middle-class mind. If they don’t have any niggers to pick on, they dont’ suddenly turn loving and kind; they go after Jews and foreigners. And Tom was a foreigner’s child. He took the hate that a nigger would have taken if any niggers had been there. He’s unloving because he’s never felt loved or accepted in his life (except maybe by his mama – that’s her hold on him.)
His indifference is the apathy of despair – he’s given up hope of ever having friend; he no longer even tries. There’s enough pain and enough niggerization in that consciousness, that you could reach him through his loneliness.
If I had your authority, I’d appoint people to show warmth and kindness to him, people with black skins, outgoing personalities and good hearts. Russell Moton, Henry Mercer, Helen Snell come to my mind as examples. Odell would be good if he understood the problem. I’d pick a couple of dozen; both to give Tom more friends and to lighten the load on each friend. I’d let Tom talk about his isolation without getting mad, I’d tell the audience to not get mad because he’s being honest, I’d draw him out and try to let the audience see where his head is actually at. (He draws quite easily if I use a very gentle tone of voice – he’s quite sensitive to tons of voice._ I’d also either instruct cassava crew to talk to him kindly and gently without capping, or move him to another crew that didn’t cap so much, and instruct that crew to go out of their way to show warmth. I’d move Danny Moton with him, Danny’s a responsible guard and has shown more kindness to him than most people would show.
[Arrow pointing to text that continues along left side of page]
It’s a low plane of consciousness that I’m writing from isn’t it – feeling emotionally “with” a class enemy. You’re probably thinking about having me watched too. One difference between us – I’ve been accepted on cassava crew. That’s worth living for, fighting for, and dying for – my heart’s desire. I will not betray.

Undated note from Pauline Groot
Jim Jones from Pauline Groot
My feelings toward you now are strange – fear, hostility, respect, gratitude & liking all mixed up together. Very unreliable. Some sexual feeling too.
Source of hostility – when I was young I got in a bad cycle – didn’t make friends, didn’t get any practice making friends, didn’t know how to make friends, didn’t make friends, etc. Other children didn’t want to associate with me – maybe they were afraid the unpopularity would rub off on them. People usually didn’t speak to me, even to say “Hello,” except of course the class bullies found me an easy target. I thought it was normal for people not to speak. I was lonely, though – painfully lonely. I took refuge in pride and intellectual activity – the closest to real work I knew about. Sometimes I got so lonely, I’d make another try at making friends. Then I’d get my feelings hurt again, and go back in my shell. I didn’t understand the pattern – I just thought everybody hated me. If somebody tried to cap on me, I thought they were serious and hostile, and tried to drive them away, or leave. The pattern was paranoid, self-centered, without any love for anybody else (except seniors and animals), proud, defensive, hostile, and suspicious.
I did relate to a few liberals, slightly. They knew me as a woman engineer, talked to me without capping on me, with real or pretended sympathy for the prejudice I faced, and even admired me for facing it. That was the closest to friendship I got – I truly thought that was what the word “accept” meant. The word “free,” to me, meant “dont have to be hassled by people all the time,” or better yet, “among friends.”
So with that pattern, I came to People’s Temple. I tried to explain to you that people [inserted “had”] hated me, and you didn’t believe me, and I resented that. Then you strongly encouraged me to get a job in chemical engineering, and you said People’s Temple would accept me, engineering and all. So I thought they were all liberals, and would treat me as the liberals did. It didn’t happen; and I thought you had lied to me.
I still don’t know if I actually was accepted or not. Remember I thought not speaking was normal, so most of the time I didn’t speak I’m sure they thought I was acting better than them, and resented it. I wouldn’t take any criticism or even “capping on,” I resented them strongly. I know. I didn’t feel accepted.
It was very confusing. You had promised I’d be accepted, and I didn’t feel accepted, it looked like you lied, but I couldn’t talk about that. You were “God,” God has all

EE-1-G-60
power and all knowledge. I felt you could make people like me anytime you wanted, you never did, and the loneliness hurt, and surely just wanting friends was a good desire, but you wouldn’t give me my good desire. I felt you must hate me to make me suffer in loneliness like that. And yet in other ways you were kind and loving and right. You saved my sisters life, and you smiled at me when I met you, and preach women’s liberation and were kind to animals, and you had a lot of understanding of people, but you never seemed to understand me. It was very confusing. I remember deciding that since I couldn’t even tell right from wrong I would just have to learn the difference from the beginning, like a child just beginning kindergarten. It wasn’t conscious, but I must have also decided to cover my ass in the meantime. Since I thought you wanted to exploit me for my pay by pushing me into a situation of more prejudice than I could stand, knowing that once I had an engineering job I’d be too stubborn to quit. I wouldn’t get a job at all. I felt like a coward for not going back into engineering and fighting it out, and yet I felt that I’d rather starve than be hated that much again.
Also, I was partially accepted. Not even among the young people, but the seniors liked me and mothered me and I ran their errands and they brought me through.
I put this in past tense because here in Jonestown for the first time in my life I am accepted. I’m on Rob Gieg’s cassava crew; and the people accepted me. I’m still scared they’ll disaccept me tomorrow, but aside from that fear and the carry overs of my own bad patterns from capitalism, this is heaven on earth for me, my dream come true and my hearts desire.
I have a few requests yet. Look for this pattern on people coming in, especially from the middle class where it’s common, and don’t tell them they’ll be accepted. Tell them People’s Temple is more loving than other places but not completely loving yet. Tell them about speaking, and capping on, and say nevertheless, this is the most loving place you’ll ever find. That much is true. Tell them that after a confrontation people are friends again, here.
Also, please tell the people of People’s Temple if somebody has no friends and feels isolated, that doesn’t necessarily mean the person feels “better,” it doesn’t necessarily mean they should be resented and fought and hassled and harassed to bring them down. Maybe they don’t know how to make friends.

To get Tim Stoen, I suggest we pretend he used a racial slur on one of our congregation. That would give us a way to be suing him. I’m cheerfully ready to commit perjury to get him.
I’m prepared to do considerable for our defence; for instance, a crazy nigger act stark naked in government chambers (my figure is pretty good though I usually dress to hide it). Or lay down on the road, and if the enemy take me alive, our people

have my permission to shoot to kill – whether I survive or not. If necessary, tell the people I had a terminal illness which you couldn’t reach because of my hostility.
I’m still scared of pain – shouldn’t be, but I am – I avoid slow painful ways of dying. I don’t mind a quick death, knowing what I’m dying for – don’t mind it at all.
Has Tim Stoen committed any objectionable libel, slander or perjury? He’s sure said enough about us.

Reflection on Dick Tropp’s Letter from Pauline Groot
Jim, about Dick Tropp’s letter, everything he said about himself applies to me except the willingness to be shot. If I was shopping my usefulness was up, I’d feel exploited, use, and mad.
How somebody can betray as a potential traitor, I know how but it’s hard to explain. The closest comparison is leprosy. A leper can cut his hand to the bone just by accident because the brain does not feel with the hand is going through. A traitor can hurt us, our anybody, because of not feeling for what others are going through. Call it moral leprosy. Debbie [Blakey] can do anything, and she will because she does not feel for anybody else.
Me, there’s no way I’d ever leave Jonestown of my own free will. I know too much about the cruelty of the USA. But if I was kidnapped and tortured, I’d talk. On a more immediate level, I’ve been daydreaming when I should have been studying. I don’t trust myself. The only way I act right is with structure around my ass. On the other hand, I’ve improved my behavior quite a bit since coming to Jonestown. If I grow fast enough, maybe I’ll grow to be able to take pain before it really comes down.
I used to assume that moral leprosy was the normal human condition – “each man his own prisoner, in solitary confinement for life.” – The psychologists call it anomie. I grew up among the atomic bomb scientists, and every single one had this quality. I guess that’s how they could make bombs. I thought that was just how people were. I still think that a lot of people have moral leprosy, completely, and a lot more have a case which is complete except for a few relatives or close friends. When you wonder how Debbie could endanger black people with her racist lies, I think you’re naïve; she doesn’t give a shit about a bunch of black strangers and never will. I wish you knew that, your strategy would be better. And if you knew and believed that people like Debbie are perfectly normal on this plane, you might be able to reassure her mother Lisa [Layton]. Debbie isn’t any worse than a lot of people in this movement; she just happened to get the one set of circumstances that would cause her to go. Or at least, Lisa might be better able to endure if she thought so.
I also think you make a tactical mistake, telling everybody you don’t understand people like Debbie. It contributes to people thinking they know more than you, they can get around you, changing the strategy you lay down, etc.

EE-2-f-4b
You’d be better off asking somebody with an established record of paranoia to explain how people could be so evil. Jeff Carey is paranoid enough, and so am I. I’m going to start telling you what I think you’re being idealistic and naïve. Even if I’m wrong.
I think you’re naïve to imagine people will realize your goodness. It’s like a radio broadcast; no matter how loud and clear, people won’t pick it up unless they’re tuned to the same vibration. Communists might pick it up. To people who don’t understand communism, you’re going to appear as a devil come to destroy their world, or a confusing, frightening, unpredictable mixture of good and evil, or stupid or crazy, or some combination of those ideas. You need to know this when you plan strategy. You can reasonably hope the Communists will see you as another communist (maybe) and recognize you as good; if anybody else does, you should treat it as a pleasant surprise.
You got this far without being recognized as good I’m more than a fraction of Jonestown, so it must be possible to build without necessarily being recognized. As to what you actually are building on, it’s a sort of trade-off. It’s as unstable as building on sand. I know I’ve thought along these lines, and I suspect a lot of other people did too – “Well, this is a better situation than living outside in America, so I’ll do enough work and show enough obedience to stay in the group and keep out of trouble.” I believe this is the attitude of 9/10 of Jonestown. You should expect treason, not be so shocked and shook up by it. People with that attitude don’t have much loyalty to break, and it’s very easily broken.
This does not necessarily mean that all your work is in vain. For instance, I didn’t understand communism, I didn’t understand what the hell you were talking about until after I came here and saw it and lived it for a while. And I call myself smart. Others will probably be getting the message, one by one. Some will, and some won’t.
I think you were naïve not to recognize long ago that a lot of people are afraid of you, including many in Jonestown. You want tuned to fear, and you don’t pick up on it; but hate and fear are two sides of the same coin. Every time somebody hates you,
—–
EE-2-f-4c
and doesn’t come to you and talk it out, they are also afraid of you
People don’t remember your goodness, you’ve got to remember that. When you do something necessary like demanding work, people don’t just hate you, they’re afraid of you too. They don’t understand what you’re doing or why it’s necessary. What they do see is, you’re causing them trouble and inconvenience now, you are likely to cause more in the future, they can’t predict when or why: so they’re afraid.
When I tried to express this about myself personally, you thought I had gone crazy. I’m telling you now that I believe 9/10 of Jonestown is afraid of you and will continue to be afraid until they get a full understanding of communism, which may take years if it ever happens. If you don’t believe me, ask people to write up to you how much of they’re afraid of you. But have the doctor on hand before you read the answers, because the answers will break your heart.
People under a capitalist boss are usually much more afraid, and with much more reason. You haven’t caused the fear, capitalism caused it, you just kind of inherited the fear when you took the role of leader. People resent you because you look physically like a white person – right? You learned to live with that. This is another emotion that you get and don’t deserve. I also believe that if you recognize clearly that it exists you will be able to strategize around it, and have a much better chance of actually reaching people by knowing what is the obstacle in the way. If you think people aren’t afraid of you, just because you love them, you’re too naïve.
You are naïve when you told me, “People’s Temple will accept you.” To make a flat, blanket statement that way, it just isn’t so. You could have said, “People’s Temple is more accepting than anywhere else,” or “You’ll find more warmth, more friendship, and less hassling here than anywhere else,” or something like that. But there is no person completely accepted by everybody in Jonestown. It’s naïve to think there could be when we all grew up in capitalism, and I hope you won’t make a flat statement like that very often. I got my hopes up so high, and then when I ran into a bunch of hassling, I didn’t realize at that time you were to pure yourself to expect the
—–
EE-2-f-4d
evil that people do. I just thought you had lied. This sort of thing is not helpful. It upset me quite a bit and made me reluctant to talk things out with you. I wish you would quit it – the last time I noticed you were still speaking the same way. Peoples Temple is more accepting and less hateful than anywhere else in America, that much is true, and it should be enough.
You’re being naïve every time you tell women that they’ll be just as well accepted whether they get a guy or not. The leadership in Jonestown may feel that way, but some of the membership are still showing more respect to women who have a guy than women who don’t. You’d be better off to ask women for the names of the individuals who respect them more when they have a man. Then blast those individuals for encouraging every form of sex and treason we’ve ever had. There is less of that bullshit around Jonestown than anywhere else I’ve ever been. I feel more free to act in a “man’s job” here than anywhere else I know.
If you want evidence, ask Mother [Marceline Jones] or Eva how many people showed less respect to Eva after she and Johnny Jones broke up. We’ve come a long way, but the job is not yet done.
You were naïve when you consider letting our enemies have you so they’d leave us in peace. They already can’t stand their consciences; with you dead, by their hands, do you think they’d suddenly be able to live at peace with themselves? Hell no! They’d attack Jonestown with more fury than ever. As a daughter of a living father, I’m amazed at your love; as a follower of a battle commander in time of class war, I am appalled that you are so naïve.
Another thing you haven’t considered is how many people would become class enemies if you die for John [Victor Stoen]. People who don’t have enough guts to die with you, but can’t live with themselves afterwards, would be class enemies as evil as Tim Stoen, located in Guyana and in our ranks. This sort of thing will happen, much more strongly, if you give yourself up to the enemy. The only way to get the enemy off our backs is to win the fucking war
I offer one more thought to how you predict Debbie – anything that nearly killed us in the past, she is going to try again. No matter how vile. I hope she’s not smart enough to plan into new ideas of her own.

Undated Memo to Jim Jones from Pauline Groot
EE-2-f-10a – 10b
Dad,
If we go to Cuba, I am not worried so much about the Cuban gov’t refusing to let in our people who are now in America, I’m worried much more about the American gov’t refusing to let them out.
For instance, Marie [likely Marie Lawrence] and her 8 foster children. She’d probably have to try to sneak out; she’d never get papers to take foster children to Cuba.
There‘d be others. How much trouble, how much danger to try to sneak them out? Could it even be done? In all cases?
If you’re dead, it probably won’t be done successfully.
Also we have some members back there who would be willing to follow you to Guyana – Promised Land – but not to communist Cuba. What’s worse, they’d cover their own faithlessness by saying you betrayed them by turning Communist. (I don’t know, maybe I’m too paranoid.) I don’t know how important you consider this.

- Explain armed struggle & revisionist concept of terrorism. Tell what I think would be terrorist. Armed struggle – planned organized struggle with all weapons to overthrow capitalists. Capitalists & revisionists call it terrorism because they’re scared. Real terrorism is Nazi, KKK & police tactics – random killing & shit.
