Cult members speak out 25 years after mass suicide of Heaven’s Gate acolytes (unknown)

Largest mass suicide on US soil took place in March 1997 when 39 Heaven's Gate members took their own lives.

“The true meaning of ‘suicide’ is to turn against the Next Level when it is being offered,” the statement reads. The Next Level are the care takers of not only this planet but all the systems of the universe. It is real individuals, in real bodies, in real crafts taking care of the issues of their planet. Heaven’s Gate was founded by Mr Applewhite, the unblinking star of the cult’s videos, in the 1970s. “Probably in our next reincarnation on this planet.” In 1996, Applewhite decided that a shadowy picture of the Hale-Bopp comet showed a spaceship in its wake, preaching that the ship was meant to pick him up with his Heaven’s Gate followers.
