On November 29, 1978, Jack Arnold Beam, son of Jack Lovell Beam, interviewed at Ventura, California. Beam left Peoples Temple (PT) in 1975 because of excesses of Jones but has remained in contact with former members of PT through the Human Freedom Center in Berkeley, California, and a group called Concerned Relatives, the latter organization strictly concerned with the PT members in Guyana. Most information furnished by Beam is heresay [hearsay] in nature and not direct. Beam\u2019s father, mother and sister, Eleanor Beam, died in Guyana as did his wife\u2019s mother, Lois Ponts. Beam knows a great deal about historical background<\/p>\n

Beam also had a list of other close members of PT but did not describe them as dangerous. In Beam\u2019s opinion, none of the above persons, regardless of public statements, would reject the teachings of Jones and was still adhere to the principles ordered by Jones even though deceased.<\/p>\n
