Heaven's Gate Cult.

In 1997 39 people all dressed in identical black shirts and jogging pants and wearing identical Nike running shoes took a fatal cocktail of phenobarbital and vodka. They sought to join the spaceship hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet in preparation for our earth being "recycled". This Video consists of some of their own home movies and some interviews with survivors of this incident.

Understand where you're coming from, but..

They got what they wanted out of life. This was their strongest belief that humans could evolve further if they took the steps they took. And the scientist in me says - you don't know that they didn't achieve what they aimed for.

Listen to them speak dude.. that's nothing to be sad about, for me at least.

I'm trying to get this across in a non-disturbed way.. i'm not being a jerk about it

Example - some people enjoy pain. Most people hate pain. When they find someone that enjoys to hurt them, it's not abuse or assault, and it's nothing to think negatively about. It's their decision, it's what they want to do, it's their life, and you can't take that away from them. I felt vaguely uplifted after hearing them interviewed.. i don't know if that's good or bad.

(Suicide being illegal is a joke)

PS. Nothing in this video said to me that they were misled or tricked, so as of the moment i type this, what i say is true and fair.

Another crazy ass cult lead by a charismatic manipulative asshole. The leader had a history of announcing "The UFO is coming". I saw an interview with two people who were teenage members of a UFO cult in the 70s. It was lead by the leader of heavens gate (Do?).

He had everyone assembled at a specific location in the 70's waiting for the UFO to pick them up. It didnt show...

So the cult dissolved, he was made look the fraud he was. Years later when those two people saw this on the news they said something like, Well he found a way that he wont have to face being wrong again.

This is the ugly side of free will, but still they can do what they want. As long as they don't hurt the rest of us, the can go right ahead and kill themselves. The Earth is overpopulated anyways.

I'm fine choggie, i just believe people who have every appearance of being in their right mind - insofar as we all have that appearance - have a right to live or die as they choose.

Who are you to say someone can't kill themself?

I approve of cults that practice mass ritual suicides. I'll take any situation where the sheep of humanity, that believe in magic instead of reason, willingly take their own lives, thus freeing up some space on our crowded planet.

Why wait for car wrecks and amateur "jackass" stunts to take out one at a time when we can do this effectively?

You know... Personally I wouldn't join any cult that made everyone have that same horrible looking Vulcan haircut.

I remember working at a hospital when this happened. I came in that night to do my shift and found the following joke fax stuck to the bulletin board:

> Stardate 10357.22 (March 28, 1997)
>
> To All Heaven's Gate Personnel:
>
>Due to extensive tail winds caused by the comet Hale-Bopp, pickup of
>the 39 passengers has been delayed until year 3024 when we pass the earth
>again.
>
>Do not eat the pudding at this time.
>
> ***REPEAT***
>
>Do not eat the pudding at this time.




I almost pissed myself.

My logical side says good riddance. My emotional side is very sad that they were so blind to reality, like many others in this world. The only difference being that this particular cult included suicide in their pointless rituals and beliefs.

I dont ee where commiting suicide fits in to the belief.its like "humans are really awsome, and we are about to evolve, so obviously lets kill ourselves to acend to that higher level!"


when did being stop having to earn evolution?

Bitch ass cult, what a waste of reality.
