On May 17th, 1931, Marshall Herff Applewhite Jr.

Crime, Conspiracy, Cults and Murder
Ep.89 | The BRUTALITY Of The Heaven's Gate Cult

was born the youngest of four kids in a small town of Spur, Texas.

Ep.89 | The BRUTALITY Of The Heaven's Gate Cult

And his father, Marshall Herff Applewhite Sr., raised a devout and close-knit family.

And he was a Presbyterian minister who traveled frequently on a mission to establish churches throughout Texas.

And tie that along with being a minister's son, and it's not hard to see the pressures and challenges he faced from a very early age.

So Marshall was brought up in a deeply religious environment, and his family life was rather traditional and strict, and largely because of his father's job as a minister.

Ep.89 | The BRUTALITY Of The Heaven's Gate Cult

Because Marshall Sr.

fully expected his kids to live righteously, adhering to Christian morals.

and he firmly disciplined them to ensure this.

But even with this, it still seemed like Marshall did enjoy his upbringing, embracing the culture fully.
