For many reasons, the 1990s was a strange period in popular culture. Among them, the 1990s was an era when cults still existed publicly, and "Tianmen" was an era when it was widely publicized before and after its end. As of this writing in 2021, the Heaven's Gate website is still operating in a certain way, and many people are curious how this is possible.
Needless to say, this website is like a tribute to the Flash website of the 90s, with stars and outer space backgrounds, colorful links scattered on the screen-there is also a flashing "red alert" on the top homepage, which may be due to the cult Believe that their days on the earth are numbered. The site has a lot of content, but it is still running.
Keeping the website up and running is not free. Therefore, considering that the Gate of Heaven committed a mass suicide in 1997 and then appeared to be closed publicly, it is surprising that the official website is still intact. Decades after the closure, the site is still operating, and many people who have studied in the past or want to know the gate of heaven are curious about how and why all of this.
At the bottom of the Heaven’s Gate website, there was an email address of the website operator, but they did not quickly explain who they were or how they were connected to the entire cult.
However, according to the "Mirror" report, after the mass suicide, two members of the cult were left behind in order to maintain the operation of the website and the information on the Gate of Heaven. They are considered to be Mark and Sarah King.
Just a regular reminder, the Heaven’s Gate website (geocities?) is still running: https://t.co/oVQ0tggwrG
The King is an elderly couple living in Arizona. It is said that they also established a company called TELAH Foundation on behalf of Heaven's Gate, which represents the level of evolution beyond human beings.
The website itself explains all the contents of the Gate of Heaven, why mass suicides are carried out, and how to learn more about the cult through various texts.
Marshall Herff Applewhite Jr. (Marshall Herff Applewhite Jr.) is the leader of Heaven’s Gate. He believes that when Comet Hale-Bopp passed the earth in close range in 1996, an alien spacecraft was going to pick him up and His followers are on the way. In a publicly released video produced by Marshall, he explained that in order to be picked up by these so-called aliens, he and his disciples must change from their human bodies to alien forms.
By organizing three independent suicides, in which 15 members participated in two contests, and 9 members participated in the final stage, Marshall believed that he and those who died with him would be picked up by the spacecraft dragged behind the comet.
Thirty-nine members of the Gate of Heaven died due to ingestion of phenobarbital (slowing brain activity), mixing with pudding, and drinking alcohol. Then they put a plastic bag on their heads and gradually died.
Although the website of Heaven's Gate still exists so far, it is still unclear what its purpose is. As far as the public knows, the cult is no longer active. It is believed that the couple have been following it closely and replying to emails from those who are curious about Heaven’s Gate, but they also did not come forward to explain why the site is still active.
It's like a time capsule of relics from the 90s and incredible tragedies.
