Have you ever heard of heavens gate cult?

[DivineSpark]

They did mass suicide

Yes. Here are some of the members final interviews:

 

[Sn0wy0wl]

Heaven? I believe in great cold silent blackness and nothingness. I expect nothing more on the other side.

[psp3000]

all of their recordings are on The Internet Archive and their website is still active today

I recommend looking into Aum Shinrikyo and Ashtar Sheran/Angel's Heaven (there's so many different domain names to keep up with and I wouldn't browse them unless you have a good anti virus or are looking at an archived version of one of their many domains)

I remember when it was happening, it was crazy.

There were a lot of cults in the news from the late 60's on. Most didn't commit mass suicide but did other things to find themselves in the news.

Aum Shinrikyo has my vote for the best anime made by terrorists.

you should watch that Game Theory video from eons ago about Earthbound too
I think it mentions the anime, also the video game based on the cult which isn't made by the cult if I can remember correctly
or maybe some other video game Youtuber that was known at the time made a video on that I think he was named Gajin Goomba or something

Actually yeah from many yt lost media (which i love watching) i havent watched the interview or website. I just know how somewhat began and "ended" (ik there's still members just living in the downlow)

Where do I sign up.

 

[alwaysalone]

Yep jim Jones as well. I'm just not stupid enough to buy their bullshit and I'm not dying when some whacko says so.

 

[wham311]

Just like that. Just a nice little helping of applesauce and you're at peace. No decades full of moments saturated with agony.

He sucked fr. Who feeds sn to kids? With cool aid...?

Welp his lasts tapes are pretty chilling, revolutionary suicide wasn't gonna change anything.

It was cyanide. I doubt they knew about sn being poison back then. It was still being used in large quantities on ham. Lol

 

[leloyon]

I'm more of an Aum Shinrikyo girl myself.

 

[Imeavie]

I have actually had a brief exchange of emails with them in recent years. They're still active to some degree, though it seems in more of an administrative capacity.

 

[Interdegenerate]

Yeah but I was never interested by cults.

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

I think this is where the phrase "drink the kool-aid" came from, except, it's wasn't kool-aid. Funny how language works. Or I'm totally wrong.

It came from Jim Jones' group the people's temple because he put the cyanide in kool-aid
