Mass Suicide Planned By New Heaven's Gate Cult

I would like to take the position against scathing articles, evangelical Christian attacks and some misquided media misconceptions towards Heaven's Gate. My article is not for children or anyone under the age of 18. There are serious issues being discussed here and not for the faint minded or faint hearted. These are my opinions and do not reflect anyone else but me, with the exception of one later opinion further in the article that is shared by all new members. I am not a survivor but a new member of Heaven's Gate. I have accepted the teachings of Ti and Do who were the founders of Heaven's Gate almost ten years ago. There were several tragedies that made me realize that maybe Ti and Do were telling the truth; the September 11, 2001 tragedy at the twin towers in New York was the biggest one. Heaven's Gate had two previous names before that. Those names were "Human Individual Metamorphosis" and "Total Overcomers Anonymous". I used to be in a Mulderite sect that was called "The Gates Of Fox Mulder" and realized that Ti and Do's message, regardless of worldly opposition, had more substance to it. Some other followers said that a light bulb came on and the information made really big sense to them; the same happened to me.

Heaven's Gate is called "the cult of all cults". I agree to this label. Heaven's Gate was a harmless group of people then when they graduated and are a harmless group of people now until we choose, on our own choice, whether or not, to stay here or to transcend to a higher level of existence. We at Heaven's Gate have two choices. We can either stay here and be beacons of light or we can leave this already dead world and see if we get accepted on board a flying saucer in a new alien body or see whether or not we will reincarnate into a different human body in another age. If we reincarnate into another human body in another age, say 100 or 1000 years later, this means that we didn't overcome all of our human vices and imperfections in the previous age and need to spend some more time on this earth to overcome some more. You might ask whether or not we care about our families. We do, but they are not God. Our families cannot decide where we go when we die. Our families have their own beliefs that differ from ours and we are supposed to accept their beliefs while they reject ours? We will answer to God and the Next Level when we die, however way that is, and not our families. To me, God comes first over any humans. If you think I'm sellfish, then I guess Jesus was sellfish too since he left his family to go preaching and eventually left this world. We hope that the families of the original followers, who graduated in 1997, eventually heal and move on in their lives. Hopefully some day they will realize that the Away Team, orchestrated by Do (sounded as Doe), graduated on their own choices.

The media, other website critics and the majority of Christians in the Christian world call us a "cult". We're fine with that title. We have been called everything in the book. However, let me make some clarifications so you may understand the misconceptions from the facts. Dr. Stephen O'Leary of the University Of Southern California said the following quote in a documentary about cults. He says, "Cult is a word that we use to apply to religions that we don't like. A cult is simply a church in seed form." His quote rains true since quite a percentage of evangelical Christian sectors call any group of people, who differ from their beliefs, as a "cult". The Christian definition of the word "cult" applies to anyone outside of their circles. This is a false and misleading definition which has been damaged and rewritten to meet a more Hollywood standard of the word almost giving the word "cult" a permanent and unwanted stain. The difinition of cult, in its simplest form, is summed in two words. The two words are "to worship". "Cult" also means to "cultivate". That is it. All other re written definitions are false.

Many new religions start out as cults. Jesus had his own cult 2000 years ago. Jesus was called a heretic by the Jewish Pharisees and the Romans back then. Even though some Jews accepted the message of Jesus and followed him, most of society did not. Check your Bible literature. It is all there if you don't believe me. Do (Doe), what the world knows as Marshall Applewhite, was called a heretic and spurious messiah along side of his partner Ti. They were slammed by the outside world from 1975 up to 1997. The common belief of the word "cult" is, for the most part, the most tainted word in the english language. Origins of the word date back over a thousand years ago. "Cult" comes from the Latin word "cultis" which means "to worship". This, as I had explained earlier, is the purest definition of the word. Christianity, Hollywood, Heaven's Gate hate groups and some media groups have their definitions of what a cult really means. They are all false at the most or partially wrong at the least by a critical mass off the principle target.

There are cult like routes in the secular world today that I believe might not have any idea which God they are worshipping. In Ancient Greece, people became part of a cult that could have possibly been the world's first known or identified cult. The name of group was the "cult of Dianisis" which became titled so after the Greek god of whine. These people worshipped alcohol because they felt that they were under the control and guidance of their god. The reason why they drank was because they wanted a release and relief from dailly pressures and common or overwhelming stresses of evryday life, fears, anxieties and other situations of pressure. The drinking of alcohol caused the followers to relax and lay back or become lax in some form or another. In summary, it was a religion of relaxation and escape through alcohol. Sound familiar? It should. Alcoholics can reflect this pattern and the Canadian culture, as I am sure the USA does the same, promote the drinking of alcoholic beverages. They don't realize that they are actually worshipping Dianisis instead of God. That makes a huge percentage of alcohol beverage consumers worshippers of a god they never knew existed. It is there choice of course and maybe a bunch of them don't realize who exactly they follow and give their allegiance to. However if they are going to call Heaven's Gate a "cult", then maybe they should be made aware of the glass house they are throwing stones from; they will find that their homes have a few cracks.

Then there are the feminists. There are two kinds of feminists. There are the women that want, not demand, respect from men. In return they will give respect in a loving and mature fashion. Then there are the braw burning feminists which demand allegiance and treat men as zeroes. These kind of women serve, as militants, the god of Isis. The religion of Isis was an Egyptian group that was dominated by women that treated men as slaves. The braw burning feminists follow this pattern, some knowlingly and some unknowlingly. In summary, we all belong to some kind of cult like status in the secular and religious worlds. So, the point is that people shouldn't comdemn each other but do anyway. We have to all break free from this type of hatred and misunderstanding. When one person or group attacks another because they are different then what they are executing and promoting, in whole or part fashion of essence, is hatred. I read Patrick Cooke's scathing article on us after reading all of the heat that was going on here at the Now Public website. Patrick Cooke's article was really sad to read because of the intense hatred he has towards us. What is worse is that he feels that he is justified in doing so even though he didn't study the information nor does he ever want to study the information. You can't smash someone without getting all of the facts. We don't like it when people take on this kind of vigilante behavior and slam us without a license of reason. Xfody, another new member of Heaven's Gate, disqualified Cooke's article on the basis that he didn't read up on the information. If you don't "read up" then "don't review". People should be very careful in the kinds of slander or over exaggerated dogma or creed they try to spread about us. We all have lawyers and are fully prepared to used them.

People are saying that we are going to commit another mass suicide. I have people I know come up to me and ask me, out of concern, if I plan on leaving. Other members have the samething happen to them once it is learned which teachings they believe in. Let us all explain one thing that all members can agree on as I have recieved their permission to explain. Each member, whether they be survivors or new sheep, have two choices. The first choice is to lay down their imperfect fleshly bodies that are constant stumbling blocks to the inner beings that are trying to get ahead. Once a person leaves his or her body, on their own choice, he or she may be put on ice because they chose to leave without the presence of a heavenly representative. Do (sounded as Doe) mentions this in his last video "Do's Final Exit". If people drop their vehicles (human bodies) without being a part of Heaven's Gate, they will go to whatever/ wherever the memories of their minds will take them. If someone believes that they will enter some magical city in space when they die, that is where their memory will take them. Other groups preach threats of force by emotionally blackmailing people to stay by calling them cowards if they leave or they teach that a person will burn in hell if they leave before their bodies stop ticking. The Bible doesn't mention the word "suicide" anywhere. Sampson dropped his vessel, what the world calls suicide, and the Lord took him up. Check your Bible literature if you don't believe me. WE are not telling anyone to leave. We are just saying that if we choose to commit mass suicide, then that is our choice and our business. So stay out of it. If some of us choose to leave this world while some of us stay, then these are OUR choices. We don't owe anyone any explanations. If some or all of us choose to leave, then we will do so regardless of what you people say. This is because the general public is ignorant of the Evolutionary Level Abobe Human.

We don't serve the world. How is it that everybody elses beliefs are okay but ours are not? I saw some televison shows of how a man shoots his dog when its health outweighs its usefulness. I see in some medical shows how family members choose to "pull the plug" on relatives that are braindead and in a coma. Sudddenly that's okay huh?? I see in some medical dramas of how family members put their long time pets "out of their misery" by having the vet jam a needle into those animals and watching them die thirty seconds later. Oh that's different huh?? Well, as far as I'm concerned, that is promoting murder. It's one thing if the person, that chose to have their animal put down, didn't know any better. I am criticizing not them but the institutions that are allowing this doctrine of "misery killings". What about abortion? That issue is okay too? Do you see where I am going with this? An abortion says that it is "her body" and she can do whatever she pleases with it. Fine, we too at Heaven's Gate have a choice what to do with our bodies. It is our bodies, let us do what we so choose to do and leave us alone.

Some media websites say that Heaven's Gate is extinct. They know that we exist but refuse to update their information and why? Hysteria and fear, if not, just plain rudeness. Other media groups said, of the 39 Away Team members, that they were either "thumbing a ride on a space ship" or "hitch hiked a ride on a space ship". These are cheap words and stupid words. Other media franchises claim that Rio Di Angelo is the only surviving member and that Heaven's Gate is officially defunct. What planet are they from? That is far from the truth. Obviously they haven't heard of Crlody or Swyody and others that were part of the original group or gathering.

We are not planning a mass suicide. The world, who lives in extreme sin and sellsfishness is actually committing "the mass suicide". This is not a criticism. This a mere statement of startling realization. When you are shown the truth and reject it, then you can become quite the "right off". The title of this article implies and aims at the paranoid silliness of some attack articles by some media groups. The definition of this article title also implies that if we do choose to leave as a whole or individually, even though some said that we aren't planning on leaving, it is our choice and not yours. Do (sounded as Doe) said that three types of believers, who chose to stay here, can survive the spading under that is to come. So their are two options of either to stay or to leave. If we choose to stay, then we all try to live as clean and overcoming life as possible by conquest. The conquest is the shedding of human ways and accepting the next level ways. No doubt alot of you clicked onto this article for one reason or another; the main reason being that "negativity and death make the ratings". People will always condemn Heaven's Gate. I'm sure that "100 Huntley Street" (an Evangelical Baptist/ Pentecostal Christian show) had a hay day condemning the 1997 graduation of 39 people to a better level of existence. That's okay, considering that the art of people jumping around, doing cart wheels, rolling across the isles and / or falling down to the floor, after being prayed for by a minister or usher, cannot, should not and will not be found anywhere in the Bible as God inspired. Read your Bible if you don't believe me. People will hate us and condemn us which are their choices, provided that they don't slander us unless they wish to feel the legal reproach of the matter.
