1998 Jonestown Memorial Conference
20 Years After Jonestown: What Have We
Learned About Cults
When: November 13-15, 1998
Where: Chicago, Illinois
November 18, 1998 marks the twentieth anniversary
of the tragedy in Jonestown, Guyana, in which nearly 1,000 men,
women, and children committed suicide or were murdered according to the orders
of cult leader, Jim Jones. At that time, only a handful of people knew anything
about the destructive groups that were being called cults. AFF had not yet been
founded. Since Jonestown, there have been other well-known cult tragedies: the
murder/suicides involving the Order of the Solar Temple in
Europe and Canada; the conflagration at Waco, Texas; the
sarin-gas murders perpetrated by Aum Shinrikyo in Japan, and the Heaven’s Gate
suicides in California. Not making the news are the hundreds of thousands,
perhaps millions, of individuals who have been psychologically traumatized as a
result of a cult affiliation. Unlike twenty years ago, we can today offer a wide
range of services and resources to the thousands of individuals and families who
seek help from AFF each year. This conference commemorates the
memory of the Jonestown victims by looking back to that pivotal event and
reflecting upon what we have learned during the past 20 years.
