Welcome to Heaven's Gate.

Imagine that you are a member of Heaven's Gate.

Just for a moment consider it.

Cut your hair, you change your name, the whole thing.

And the one rule that's more important than the others is this.

In Heaven's Gate, the only relationship that counts is your relationship to

T and Doe and through them to God.

All your attention must go into that relationship.

Say goodbye forever to everyone else.

That force-focus that is demanded, it works like blinders on a horse.

It has the effect of keeping you and your fellow members devoted to the group.

But when Bonnie Nettles T, the co-founder of Heaven's Gate died in 1985.

Her partner Doe was at a loss and he did something odd.

He sent everyone home just for a bit, just for a break,

while he planned their next move.

He let them take their blinders off.

On today's episode, members of Heaven's Gate get a taste of freedom.

And then the group turns a corner to a darker time and a point of no return.

This is Heaven's Gate, Episode 6, The Choice.

I'll tell you who I am.

T and Doe, whatever they want to call her.

Whether or not you believe is up to you, you, you.
