Heaven's Gate: A Colossal Failure

Throughout history, there were many cult events. Many of them have common characteristics of corrupt leaders. For example, Charles Manson led his worship group to a murderous carnival. Clearly, in the cult history, leaders are the main cause of tragedy. The religious cult, the gate of heaven is based on the mixture of beliefs of Christian faith and UFOs. Until March 27, 1997, they were not in the public eye.

In 1997, 39 members of the Temple of Heaven committed suicide in San Diego, California with the aim of following comet Hale - Bopp to catch up with UFOs. Marshall Apple White and Bonney Nettles founded the Heavenly Gate in 1974. Its members are focused on web design, science fiction, castration and cleaning impurities. Regarding group suicide, they write on their website: "We have deeply discussed this topic and were psychologically prepared for this possibility. We found members of the heavenly gate When wearing black clothes and black and white Nike decade sneakers and wearing short hair, they were initially identified as men, but over half of them These suicide projects inspired many popular songs, produced SNL sketches, and produced numerous promotions (not necessarily welcomed) for Nike Decade sneakers.

When members of heavenly gates were found they were all wearing the same black and white Nike decade sneakers - the company soon quit this style for that terrible association. Since then, shoes have become a collector project. Apparently an unused pair found in the Arizona storage unit was auctioned on eBay for $ 6,660, which made Applewhite's face part of the advertisement. They told Sole's collector via e-mail: "They finally look the same as they like in class." "They can also understand them, which is a series of promoting sales Factors of a particular model or brand. "

In early March 1997, Louis Theroux contacted the Heaven Gate team on the strange weekend production of his BBC Two documentary series Louis Theroux. In reply to his e - mail, Theroux said that Portal of Heaven can not participate in the documentary. From 19th to 20th March 1997, Marshall Applewhite talked about group suicide and insisted that "this is the only way to evacuate the planet". After arguing that the spacecraft were behind the comet Hale - Bopp, Applewhite persuaded the 38 fans to commit suicide so that their souls can ride on so-called spacecraft. Applewhite believes that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) will take their souls to another "survival level above humans" after their death.
