Heaven's Gate

[roguejuror]

Their website is still up untouched since the '97 incident. http://www.heavensgate.com/

Two thousand years ago, a crew of members of the Kingdom of Heaven who are responsible for nurturing "gardens," determined that a percentage of the human "plants" of the present civilization of this Garden (Earth) had developed enough that some of those bodies might be ready to be used as "containers" for soul deposits. Upon instruction, a member of the Kingdom of Heaven then left behind His body in that Next Level (similar to putting it in a closet, like a suit of clothes that doesn't need to be worn for awhile), came to Earth, and moved into (or incarnated into), an adult human body (or "vehicle") that had been "prepped" for this particular task. The body that was chosen was called Jesus. The member of the Kingdom of Heaven who was instructed to incarnate into that body did so at His "Father's" (or Older Member's) instruction. He "moved into" (or took over) that body when it was 29 or 30 years old, at the time referred to as its baptism by John the Baptist (the incarnating event was depicted as "...the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove" - Luke 3:22). [That body (named Jesus) was tagged in its formative period to be the receptacle of a Next Level Representative, and even just that "tagging" gave that "vehicle" some unique awareness of its coming purpose.]

Wow. Had kind of forgotten about this. I don't think I knew much about them to begin with/// I definitely know more now after reading that and the Wiki article. Those mass suicides are creepy.

I've spent the last half hour studying the Heaven's Gate site, and I've decided that Scientology is still the superior religion.

 

[MrX]

Serious style points for leaving on a comet, though.

 

[MrX]

Whoa, I didn't know that Uhura's brother was a Heaven's Gate suicide.

 

[betplom]

Yeah their site reeks of the 90's.

Someone should update the homepage, it's 2013 for fucks sake.

Domain registration expires next month. Rogatien let's snipe it away from them.

Oh man I'd love to. Someone is controlling it though, last updated July 2012. Usually 30 days to the date it goes open, I'll keep an eye on it. We could make it GL's official cult.

Oh, hell yes!

Maybe Do and Ti could come back as premium interstellar handicappers, sending us winning picks from above.

I bet IAG and her brethrens would love that.

Post suicide press release.

By the time you read this, we suspect that the human bodies we were wearing have been found and that a flurry of fragmented reports have begun to hit the wire services. For those who want to know the facts, the following statement has been issued.

The members took phenobarbital mixed with pineapple, washed down with vodka. Additionally, they secured plastic bags around their heads after ingesting the mix to induce asphyxiation. Authorities found the dead lying neatly in their own bunk beds, faces and torsos covered by a square, purple cloth. Each member carried a five-dollar bill and three quarters in their pockets-- said to be for interplanetary toll.

Pretty reasonable if you ask me. It costs me more than that to get through Kansas City.

Still praying for you Matty!

This doesn't inspire confidence:

During a brief window of time, some may wish to follow us. If they do, it will not be easy. The requirement is to not only believe who the Representatives are, but, to do as they and we did. You must leave everything of your humanness behind. This includes the ultimate sacrifice and demonstration of faith -- that is, the shedding of your human body. If you should choose to do this, logistically it is preferred that you make this exit somewhere in the area of the West or Southwest of the United States -- but if this is not possible -- it is not required. You must call on the name of TI and DO to assist you. In so doing, you will engage a communication of sorts, alerting a spacecraft to your location where you will be picked up after shedding your vehicle, and taken to another world -- by members of the Kingdom of Heaven.

hahahahaha

 

[MrX]

Yeah, this seals it. I'm not interested in this religion.

Applewhite and six members of the cult had been castrated in Mexico a few months earlier – another way to deal with unwanted desires.
