In this short, undated tape \u2013 the only reference to a date was a divorce from 1971 \u2013 Jim Jones performs a healing of a woman who had cancer. The healing is followed by a testimonial by another woman whom Jones healed as well.<\/p>\n

The tape begins with the preliminaries to the healing already underway. Jones is revealing \u201clittle things\u201d about an elderly woman\u2019s life, because they are important to build her faith. He reminds her how much she spent in an uncontested divorce and what the name of the law firm was that represented her. He also asks her to tell the congregation whether she had given him this information before, and she says she hasn\u2019t. He invites her into his \u201caura,\u201d then asks her to vomit up the cancer. As the music swells in the congregation, the woman reaches into her throat to dislodge the cancer. The blood and apparently vile-smelling growth spills on the floor, and Jones asks the \u201cthousands of people\u201d gathered as witnesses to \u201cpraise the name of Jesus Christ.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the last few minutes of the tape, another woman speaks of how Jones revealed personal items that no one else knew about her. She already had faith in him, but it was renewed through the revelations. She was also surprised to learn that she was sick, but didn\u2019t doubt that he knew of her illness. She concludes her testimony by saying, \u201cI don\u2019t have to tell you whether I saw him as a man or a prophet. He healed me of a terrible cancer in my throat, so you know I saw him as God, my Savior.\u201d<\/p>\n
