What led to the formation of Heaven's Gate cult?
Planet Earth about to be recycled. Your only chance to evacuate is to leave with us.
It was a final message, a warning, and just a short while afterwards, 39 people would be found dead, all with matching uniforms, the same method of death, and the same Nike shoes. These are the words of Marshall Applewhite, a humble preacher's son who would transform into a supposed extraterrestrial prophet, urging humanity to attain salvation through a spaceship that would take them to the Next level. And though it sounds like a made-up story in the world of science fiction, this is the real story of Heaven's Gate. Crime, conspiracy, cults, serial killers, and murder, all things that I love to consume, and I know you do too, you sick, twisted, beautiful, intellectually-minded... And today, we are diving into one of the most infamous cults in history, and that is Heaven's Gate.
So without further ado, let's unbuckle our seat belts, go Mach 5 down the highway, slam on the brakes, and bust through this windshield into this infamous cult.
I find New Year's resolutions fail for one reason. We try to remove a habit without replacing it. And if you are trying to quit vaping or smoking this year, fume is the replacement you need. And fume, that's F-U-M, is a flavored air device that lets you satisfy that urge to reach for something without nicotine, vapor, or batteries, just clean, natural flavors and a fidget-friendly design that actually feels good to use. And it's weighted, twisty, and gives your hands something better to do when that craving hits. But resolutions feel easy on day one, but then day five rolls around and the cravings are real. Fume helps interrupt that old pattern. And although I'm not personally giving up smoking or vaping, I just like the hand-to-mouth feel and just something
to fidget with, my current favorite flavor is crisp mint. But here's the deal for January. Fume is doubling every core you order. So order a pack and get two. And order three, you get six. Plus, grab a journey pack and you'll get a free gift when you use my code cccm but this double course offer disappears the moment january ends no extensions and no exceptions so in order to take advantage of it head to tryfume.com that's t-r-y-f-u-m.com and use code cccm to claim your double cores and free gift before this new year offer closes for good thank you so much to fume for sponsoring this video and supporting the channel and let's get back to it On May 17th, 1931, Marshall Herff Applewhite Jr. was born the youngest of four kids in a small town of Spur, Texas.
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 he brought the family along with him. So the constant uprooting of home life gave Marshall a mobile upbringing. 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. Not giving him a pass, by the way. Not even a little bit. But you know, we're gonna empathize just a little at the beginning because he's a little kid at this point, all right? 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.
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. And Marshall would regularly attend church, and he was seen as extremely dedicated to the faith. And Marshall demonstrated an intense passion for music and the performing arts, and he possessed a clear aptitude for public speaking as well. And these are all talents and skills that would shape this young man's adulthood. And his love for the stage led him to take part in theater productions at school. And he also sang in choirs at churches where his voice drew great praise.
