Diane Sawyer reports on the kind, intelligent people who walked away from their daily lives, careers, families, friends and even young children to join a group led by Marshall Herff Applewhite.
Former members who shared their experiences for the first time, loved ones of deceased followers and authorities who worked on the case spoke with Diane Sawyer about the Heaven’s Gate tragedy.
Cult members were required to follow an extremely structured schedule while living under Marshall Herff Applewhite’s direction, like attending hours-long lectures and being told when to shower.

lucifer is real …
I still remember watching the mass suicide on the news, or very shortly after. It’s disturbing on how skillful manipulators can bend weak minded people to his or her will.
It doesn't happen in England, in USA people in the South can marry a vegetable, quite legally
Doe was a homosexual who refused to “come out” and instead had himself castrated.
Do wasn’t their god he was their older member who was leading them to a different plane of existence
I always felt bad for all those virgins
They tried to get me once in Chicago and Milwaukee, the younger blonde with the big dark squared glasses. That spooky old man reminds me of Dia Abrams boyfriend who took all them kid's inheritance. Real strange dude.
The news putting this out is a freudian slip. Its no coincidence. Look at politics and the social spectrum, everyone on either side feels they "fit in" with those ideals, they put down others that oppose their views, easily controlled by the media that feeds their political beliefs. Young liberals with rainbow hair that scream mental instability are not unlike these genderless haircuts. This clip is basically throwing it in your face that subscribing to politics 100% is "cult like" complete with brainwashing and the destruction of yourselves or others.
When u have always strived to be the best and seek approval from ppl u get cults and ppl that are quick to join. I pray that they are able to get out.
I think what made them join the cult is the feeling of belongingness. They are skilled and smart and successful but lonely. That is why they are hypnotized by the cult. They want a tight-knit family that they never had. Do is their father figure and maybe they love him so much because of the security he gives of being so sure. These people are smart but not sure. Do is psychotic, confident. and so sure.
Modern day leftism.
Heaven's gate is a great religion
Brainwashed them
Crazy
Grrrr
How can you be so happy about dying?
Honestly, we didn’t and don’t decide when to be born. So why did they think they would get to decide when they die?
They all have that cult look in their eye. How the hell does that happen?
Sorry but I have absolutely no sympathy for the weak minded morons who fell for this nonsense. It’s a shame we can’t weed more of these intellectually challenged idiots out of society tbh.

We're they even real people just unbelievable in a creepy way especially that devlish old man that look like something out of the movie poltergeist.
Wow, so sad. Reminds me of what Trump fox news, and Q has done to 30% of Americans . They all believe anything they tell them with no real evidence. I pray everyday for them all. God bless.
Listen, the time has come. The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news.Mark 1:15 Please think about it. Believe in God's son Jesus today, repent of your sin, heaven is perfect dont be left behind. Love Y'all
Anybody still think it’s a good idea for babies to be born “without” a gender? 🙄
Why does the hairline truth and the way we should always get mixed in with bunk bananas! And aliens dont care about the hair lol…
Damn i missed my ride on the flying rock. Is anyone else starting the next group?
Such high achievers but weak in the inside… easily persuade by a man 🤦🏻♀️
And then in 2022 they rebranded as the ‘Republican Party’.
The main thing I think people in Cults have in common is that they are mesmerized by being told they are one of the 'Chosen Ones'. They have been singled out . . . they are special. They will be saved, and others won't. Some of these people seem to have had stature that, as they age, they feel they have lost, or they have a famous sibling or family that they are in the shadow of. If you want to avoid a Cult, understand that you are special . . . and so is everyone else❣
This world is so cruel. This is so sad seeing them.
Making believe their life is perfect. Narrow
Is the gate
There sure are a lot of experts in the comments here.
Killing them with kindness
Hale Bopp comet
When you are tired of living luxury life that is what happens. In that state living doesn't make any sense to you any more.
Viewers. Don’t comment unless you know what you’re talking about! Don’t act on emotions. Act on facts!
They all have this weird look in their eyes, like they’re not in driver seat of their body anymore.
