		Heaven's Gate has been characterized by many as a religious cult, but it is important to define this term, since it has historically carried negative connotations.
		Heaven's Gate, which has been known also as Human Individual Metamorphosis and various other names such as "the Bo and Peep UFO Cult", which were invented by the mass media, was a millenarian movement, which incorporated traditional Biblical teachings with the idea of space travel and beings from other dimensions.
		Heaven's Gate is an interesting study in that it combines elements of all four of Stark and Bainbridge's models of cult formation.

	Cults
		We think immediately about the Heaven's Gate cult and the 39 otherwise bright people who recently killed themselves so they could supposedly be transported to a UFO trailing the Hale-Bopp Comet.
		Cult leaders and followers are isolated and cut off from normal interaction with people outside the group.
		Someone attending a cult meeting for the first time quickly finds himself the object of attention and loving regard-"love-bombing." Feelings of warmth and acceptance are experienced as the group presents itself as a closely knit family bound together by ties of affection and common purpose.

		Heaven's Gate was led by Marshall Herff Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Nettles (who died in 1985), who taught their followers how to enter the Kingdom of God.
		The bizarre apocalyptic theology of Heaven's Gate is interpreted by its critics as absurd and ridiculous; yet it was taken deadly serious by its devotees, and a significant part of the UFO scenario is now accepted by large sectors of the public.
		Considered cults in their own day, they were passed down from generation to generation, but perhaps they are no less queer than the new paranormal cults.

	Heavens Gate Cult
		Heaven's Gate -- another web site designed by the Higher Source team -- cryptically states that suicide is acceptable for cult members who want to ascend to a "higher level of life." In this case the "higher level of life" refers to a spaceship behind the Hale-Bopp comet.
		The name of the cult is now believed to be Heaven's Gate, not Higher Source, as reported previously.
		One of the videotapes showed the cult's leader, Marshall Applewhite -- a trekkie-like individual with bugged-out eyes -- in a weird triple image, stating matter-of-factly their intention of leaving earth and hitching a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bobb comet.

	CNN - One year later, Heaven's Gate suicide leaves only faint trail - March 25, 1998
		The 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult who took their own lives one year ago were professional Web page designers who used the Internet to attempt to win converts and spread their message.
		Heaven's Gate members believed that Hale-Bopp, an unusually bright comet, was the sign that they were supposed to shed their earthly bodies (or "containers") and join a spacecraft traveling behind the comet that would take them to a higher plane of existence.
		That ease of access to information led to fears that the new medium offered new opportunities for cults to recruit, and that the sci-fi pastiche of Heaven's Gate was a perfect fit.

	How Cults Work
		Cult leaders don't want you to know that you are being recruited into a cult and so they order their recruiters to dress, talk and act in a way that will put you at ease.
		Cults train their members to instantly destroy any critical information given to them, and to not even entertain the thought that the information could be true.
		Cult leaders will then use this information to convince their members that they have a supernatural link, the trusting member does not suspect the very natural mechanism behind the supernatural revelations they are given.

		Where in the seventies the ‘cults" were the culprit for all and sundry evils, "satanists" seem to have inherited this position for the eighties.
		During a relatively short period afterwards the image forming around "cults" was dominated by the high profile "anti cult movement", that gave a (semi-?) scientific foundation to the pathological aspects of cult membership with the metaphors brain washing and "snapping".
		In fact traditional deprogramming boils down to making a fake appointment with the "cult member", in order to take this person against their will to an isolated place where during a period of days (as long as it takes for the "cult member to snap out of its cult personality") an intensive therapy is administered.
