Summary

For this episode, we continue on with our CULT series, with Part II of Heaven's Gate. For this episode, we discuss the group's initial nomadic lifestyle that they held throughout the 70s, as Applewhite and Nettles were nailing down their ever-changing doctrine. We also touch on the core belief systems, and the requirements for becoming a member.

If you haven't, please check out our last episode, MISSING in Paradise: The Heartbreaking Disappearance of Amy Lynn Bradley. A 23yo girl goes on a cruise with her family, but disappears from her balcony early in the morning. There have been reported sightings of her over the last 20 years. Is she still alive?
