Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Temple member Cleve Davis has done something wrong, and he knows it. He calls CJ Jackson, another Temple member whom Cleve considers a brother, to talk about his regret over what he has done \u2013 an incident which is never fully spelled out \u2013 and to ask (repeatedly) for forgiveness. From the outset, CJ rejects the apology \u2013 \u201cYou\u2019re messing with this principle, with this cause, with everything that we stand for here\u201d \u2013 and says that the apology should be directed to the church and the people in it, beginning with Jim Jones. \u201c[I]f you get yourself together, if you prove yourself together, doggone it \u2026 you know<\/em> how forgiving and how loving he is.\u201d He also suggests that Cleve make unspecified amends.<\/p>\n

But there are deeper issues, deeper problems that predate this one phone call, \u00a0and can\u2019t be resolved during it, even if either party were willing to try. \u201cI am nobody\u2019s traitor,\u201d Cleve says emphatically in the opening minutes of the call, but he is still on his way out of the Temple \u2013 being pushed as much as he is jumping \u2013 although he insists he can\u2019t leave until he has some dental work done. In the meantime, he can\u2019t have access to his money, to his belongings, or even to his daughter.\u00a0 But if anyone is to blame for all this, according to CJ, it\u2019s Cleve, for acting \u201clike an ass.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cleve\u2019s early words in the conversation of brotherhood and loyalty turns to pleas and eventually defiance. They are mirrored with CJ\u2019s words of rejection, recrimination, antagonism, and eventually, threats. \u201c[I]t\u2019s been requested that you leave town,\u201d CJ says, then adds a moment later, \u201cyou stay away from here<\/em>, I\u2019ll tell you that much.\u201d<\/p>\n

The gulf reveals itself to be irreparable. CJ says his relationship with Cleve has affected his own position within \u201cthe cause\u201d \u2013 an assertion which is also not explained \u2013 and Cleve\u2019s association with others has hurt them as well. Towards the end of the conversation, when Cleve says he\u2019s going to LA to get his life back on track \u2013 ostensibly to find his way back to the Temple \u2013 he says he\u2019ll be staying with another Temple member named L.C. \u201cWhy would you put L.C. in a position, man?\u201d CJ replies.\u00a0 \u201cYou\u2019re compromising L.C.\u201d<\/p>\n

The conversation ends in frustration, without an exit or even a direction to go. \u201cI don\u2019t have nobody, man,\u201d Cleve says. \u201cAnd you\u2019re trying to take all I got.\u201d<\/p>\n
