Search CNN Networks SPECIALS Quick News Almanac Video Vault News Quiz One year later, Heaven's Gate suicide leaves only faint trail March 25, 1998 Web posted at: 9:49 p.m. EST (0249 GMT) (CNN) It was perhaps the strongest sign yet that the Internet was coming of age: it was implicated in a tragedy that shocked the nation. The 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult who took their own lives one year ago were professional Web page designers who used the Internet to attempt to win converts and spread their message. The cult members committed suicide over a few days in late March 1997. They died in shifts, with some members helping others take a lethal cocktail of phenobarbital and vodka before downing their own doses of the fatal mixture. Police found an eerily placid and orderly scene on March 26. Heaven's Gate members believed that Hale-Bopp, an unusually bright comet, was the sign that they were supposed to shed their earthly bodies (or "containers") and join a spacecraft traveling behind the comet that would take them to a higher plane of existence. For a time, the story became a national obsession as the media revealed details about the group. Among the most shocking: several of the cult's members, including leader Marshall Applewhite, had undergone voluntary castrations in the months leading up to the mass suicide.

Home Apologetics Bible Reviews ... AIA BBS Boolean: AND OR Case Insensitive Sensitive Previous Article Next Article The Heaven's Gate Cult By Gretchen Passantino The Heaven's Gate cult is one of literally thousands of millennial cults, including hundreds of UFO-based cults around the world. They attract followers by promising escape from expected cataclysmic events that supposedly will signal the end of this millennium. The Heaven's Gate cult is the last stage in the almost three-decade transformation of a vagabond couple's UFO delusions into a sophisticated Internet suicide cult. The Heaven's Gate cult was led by a man named Marshall Applewhite, who claimed that his spiritual name was "Do." He began his "Star Trek" in the early 1970s with a female partner, Bonnie Nettles, who used the spiritual name "Ti" (pronounced "Tee"). (She died of cancer in 1985.) Bo and Peep (Do and Ti) believed that they would fulfill Rev. 11 by being killed, lying dead in the street for three days, and then being "raised" from the dead into the space ship, along with their followers. As the day for their "sacrifice" approached, they preached that their death and "resurrection" would prove the truthfulness of their preaching. The Two and their followers disappeared by early 1976, and over time most of the followers returned to normal life. The group resurfaced at various times with various names during the subsequent decades. They paid for full-page ads in many newspapers nationwide during 1988, and again in 1993. (Ominously, their ad in USA Today and other newspapers warned that anyone who truly desired to enter the Kingdom of Heaven would have to give up everything including their human existence. In 1995, the group entered its final phase:

Gargoyles The whole cult phenomena, particularly the Heavens Gate cult, revolves around faith. Remember that this cult didn't just appear the day before they killed themselves, this group has a 22 year history, a history based on the charismatic leadership of their leader, Applewhite. In the mind of cult members god spoke to Applewhite and Applewhite in turn instructed the cult about gods will. This is not so dissimilar to the method of Jesus Christ's teachings, as the son of god he knew gods will and taught it to his followers. Sometime in their history these cult members had attained real faith in Applewhite's words and at the very crux of faith is the blind leap. The action that can not be supported by empirical evidence by rather by what has been drilled into them by church leaders. Foolish you say? Within a block of where you are currently sitting there is likely to be dozen people who emphatically believe that when they die they will go to heaven, or hell, or be reborn until they attain enlightenment. There are many others but the point is all religions are based upon this leap of faith, there is no evidence to support allegations of afterlife except the scriptures that define the religions themselves. But these scriptures can hardly be considered unbiased on the matter. Trusting the word of scripture to make an argument for afterlife is like giving up control of the language to your adversary in a debate. When all the terms are defined by your opponent you are bound to lose.

25. Heaven's Gate Mass Suicide This was an immense tragedy for these individuals and their families.religious cults wider implications. Heaven s gate was a small cult. http://www.stelling.nl/simpos/heavgate.htm

Heaven's Gate mass suicide in California: some early remarks More Heaven's Gate links In March 1997, once again people found dead bodies in a house in Canada. The house belonged to a ‘New Age' religious cult, the Order of the Solar Temple . Like this group had done before, it was both suicide by cult members, and murder of people unwilling to join them in death. However, on 26 March, news about a bigger collective suicide replaced this item in the media. In a luxurious mansion at Rancho Santa Fe near San Diego in California in the United States, police found 39 bodies of members of the Heaven's Gate religious organization. Their age varied from teenager to elderly. They included an ex-Miss Rodeo, a former cowboy movie actor, and the brother of an actress in the TV series Star Trek . Some of them were castrated. This was an extreme case of negative ideas about sex, which one may find also elsewhere in occultism, like in the novel The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. They wore uniform clothes. After their deaths, purple shrouds covered them. The American ‘paranormal' spoon-bender Uri Geller , known from TV entertainment shows in The Netherlands and elsewhere, told on CNN television that he might have been among the Heaven's Gate dead. The cult had asked him to join. However, Geller said, though he believed in

Renowned social scientist Daniel Druckman reports on a three-year study that found TM ineffectual in enhancing human performance and discusses the flawed methodology of pro-TM researchers' meta-analyses. Finally, two psychologists look at meditation techniques, including TM, and their use in therapy and find nearly two-thirds of practitioners experience negative side-effects, ranging from anxiety and panic to suicidal depression even psychosis-like symptoms.

This was quickly noted to be remarkable. The comet was very active at these distances which is unusual. Many comets have large outbursts at great distance only to quieten down. Hale-Bopp did not. It reached naked eye visibility at 2AU from the Sun and continued to brighten.

var cm_role = "live" var cm_host = "angelfire.lycos.com" var cm_taxid = "/memberembedded" The Closing of Heaven's Gate A Christian Response to a Modern Trend[1] Introduction In recent days the comet Hale-Bopp has been seen streaking across the earth's skies, and many have been looking to capture a glimpse of this rather rare celestial event. But members of the Heaven's Gate cult had visions of a different sort; they thought a massive UFO might be riding in the wake of the comet, and that this UFO could transport them to a better world. The cult's leader, named Do (as in dough)[2], considered himself to be a Christ-like figure, and led his New Age followers to believe that mass-suicide ("leaving these containers," as they put it) was the means of escape to "the level above." Since this occurrence, the subject of religious cults and their bizarre belief systems has been much discussed. Once again, UFOs are in the news. For many people of common-sense the whole scene appears ludicrous. Surely, the beliefs of groups such as Heaven's Gate pose no threat for the sane individual. Or do they? Is there something relevant to glean from this tragedy? Are there lessons we should learn and take to heart? Thirty-nine deluded individuals left this earth to stand before their Maker. Their legacy is, at the heart, religious in nature. Therefore, true believers in Jesus Christ should have something to say about these matters. Basic Lessons False teachers will always be among us.

The Anti-Cult Movement Introduction Deprogramming Conservatorship Deprogramming Bill ... Links Introduction The Anti-Cult movement is the name given by sociologists and scholars to designate the loose group of organizations and individuals who are opposing so-called "cults" on a strong "Us vs Them" duality. The movement mostly originated with Ted Patrick's kidnappings and deprogrammings in the early 70s and is based on the notion of mind-control , a concept that has been debunked in the 80's but is still alive in popular media. The movement resorted to conservatorship laws to get hold of cult members and forcibly "treat" them, and tried to legalize this practice further by trying to pass deprogramming laws . Exacerbating the fanatical reaction of cults and encouraging a cult phobia among the public and authorities, anticultists helped to precipitate mass tragedies like Jonestown Waco , and the Heaven's Gate . Today, the anti-cult movement is a potent force behind discriminative measures promulgated against minority groups in

Heaven's Gate Home Page Abstract In San Diego on March 26, 1997, the bodies were found of 39 similarly dressed men and women who took their own lives in a mass suicide. Led by Marshall Applewhite, the Heaven's Gate cult believed that a flying saucer was traveling behind the Hale-Bopp comet. They chose to leave their physical bodies behind to find redemption in an extraterrestrial "Kingdom of Heaven." The sect also left behind apocalyptic messages in their Rancho Santa Fe mansion and on home pages on the World Wide Web. This paper looks at online material produced by the cult and the media coverage of their tragic end, it explores the background of the cult and the science fiction and millennial influences on their beliefs, and it considers the group's connection with cyberculture and some of the questions raised by their mass suicide, which perhaps, as David Potz said in
