[geese honking]

[flute playing]

SAWYER: Since there was no music in the group,

I sold all of my instruments.

And so, when I left, the first thing I did,

it was rent a flute and buy a harmonica.

I like to, you know, mix it up.

[playing harmonica]

[harmonica and drums playing]

Yeah, I was hitchhiking down to Texas one time.

[continues playing]

And I saw a UFO down there.

It was about 1976

after I joined with what was called the UFO cult.

But anyway, I didn't-- I didn't have any sex

with aliens or anything like that.

There's other parts of that

that I could keep on talking about, but...

I don't wanna freak people out.

[playing continues]

Let's see here.

This book was written by Ti and Do.

The cover says "How and When

'Heaven's Gate'"-- in the biggest letters--

"The Door to the Physical Kingdom Level Above Human

May Be Entered."

[music]

"As the two Older Members put out a 'statement'

"and held public meetings over about a nine-month period

"in 1975-76, to bring their crew together,

"the media tagged them the 'UFO Cult.'

"Because of their expectation of leaving aboard a spacecraft,

"the two Older Members then went into seclusion

with their crew."

After that nine-month period of holding meetings

around the country,

Ti and I felt like we had instruction

to call the students together and to begin

an intensive, or in-depth classroom training program.

The numbers started dwindling,

cut about 50% to somewhere in the 40s or 50s.

And then, we started

really getting down to the nitty-gritty.

They said it was gonna be the most difficult process

that a human could embark upon,

and that it's not likely that we would all make it.

BENJAMIN: They put this together out of everything

they thought was important.

This is a list of their behavioral guidelines.

These were distributed in November 1976.

The read is very extreme if you're not a member.

[Frank Lyford speaking]

If you don't want to do those, then you're not welcome.

SAWYER: The first one is, "Can you follow instructions

without adding your own interpretation?"

Two, "Can you deliver instructions

"as you receive them, or do they change

according to your programming?"

Three, "Do you participate in inconsiderate conversation?"

Four, "Are you physically clumsy?"

Five, "Do you halfway complete a task because..."

Six, "Do you put tasks off, procrastinate?"

NARRATOR: Strict obedience and accuracy

were demanded for entry to the Next Level,

so every task was regulated.

You were not to come up with,

"Well, I'm gonna make the pancakes this big."

There was a mixture,

a size, how many a person got,

how the syrup was poured on it, everything.

SAWYER: Nine, "Staying in my own head,

"having private thoughts, taking any action

without using my check partner."

BENJAMIN: Heaven's Gate practiced a system

called the check partner system.

Your check partner would be assigned to you

to make sure that you were following the rules.

LESLIE LIGHT: And they'd pair you up with the person

you'd least likely want to be with.

And I didn't have a lot of rough street edges,

so they gave me this really crazy, hyper,

speed-freak, street person guy

that was, like, hard to be around.

SAWYER: "Major Offenses:

"Lying to my teachers or any of my classmates.

"Breaking any instruction or procedure knowingly.

Sensuality-- permitting arousal in thought or in action."

WOMAN: Sex, it's a tough one.

- It's a hard one. - [laughing]

WOMAN #2: What if you slip?

I mean, are you forgiven once if you make a slip?

[laughter]

[Frank speaking]

SAWYER: What's left, right?

Right?

Someone would think,

"If I followed all these things 100%,

then I would be a robot."

I didn't like what I saw,

'cause the rigidity and the...

was a turn-off to me.

I would never submit to anything that was controlled.

See, I don't-- anything that controls people,

that's why I became a hippie, I did not like control.

And those two things, I just thought, that's--

you know, I don't wanna be involved anymore.

ROBERT BALCH: As people left the group

for one reason or another, got spun off,

the energy inside the group would actually increase

because everybody really wants to be there,

and you're getting rid of the people

that have doubts, questions,

kind of still too much into their own personal habits.

Those people kind of fall to the wayside.

TI: Do you feel that you have made the progress

that you wanted to make?

Have you met the expectations?

Well, the thing is, our expectations

are constantly growing.

It's like... I know I've changed some,

but I haven't become nearly what I want to become.

I don't think people know how deep their humanness goes,

and what it involves trying to overcome it.

It gets down to the nitty-gritty

of your ways of looking at things,

and your ways of responding,

and things that have been engrained in you

for years and years in this particular body that you have.

And there are a lot of things that I've been feeling,

but nothing I could describe.

[music]

JANJA LALICH: So, this was one of their publications,

it's called "Ruffles."

It says here "Snacks for thinkers"

because this spaceship kind of looks like a potato chip.

This was given to me by Dick Joslyn,

and everyone was asked to turn in

some kind of little saying

that fit very much with their ideology.

For example, "A goal is not reached

"by just learning how to reach it.

The goal is reached by doing what you learned."

So, it kind of shows their sense of discipline.

"Everyone interprets the truth

at his own level of understanding."

This is like alternate facts, right?

This is very relevant to today.

These people were very ahead of time.

[chuckles]

"Reality is not something you escape from.

Reality is something you escape to."

So, that means you're not really living in reality.

What cults need to do is to turn you into a conformist,

you know, to get you, hopefully, to become a true believer.

They need to break down you and create a new you.

DO: When you're in the process of overcoming this vehicle,

it loses its identity.

It loses the consciousness of who it was.

JANJA: The deepest part of the indoctrination came

when they were convinced that they were not human beings.

They were convinced that they were actually these beings

from the Next Level above,

and that they were essentially living inside

these human shells, which they called vehicles.

DO: We'll use the term "vehicle"

when we speak of this body that we're wearing,

this flesh and bones, because we don't relate to it.

It's not me, it's just a suit of clothes that I wear.

BENJAMIN: Any religious group has its own terminology.

As you join the group, you have to learn the language.

It's sort of an unofficial initiation process.

SAWYER: The house was a craft, like a spacecraft.

The kitchen was the Nutri-Lab.

The laundry was the Fiber-Lab.

The vehicle's sexual organs were plumbing.

Sex was sensuality,

not that we talked about sex much,

except for avoiding it.

They didn't explain it when they changed the terminology,

but all of these terminology changes

also changed the way we thought about things.

So, it didn't stimulate memories.

One of the things that helps you, and this is--

this was kind of adopted, in a way,

in the Catholic church,

when nuns and monks that isolate themselves

in thoughtful studying conditions,

they take another name.

It helps disassociate them with the family tree.

Around 1977, members of Heaven's Gate

effectively became monks and nuns.

They became monastics.

Remember, they were celibates,

they were living exclusively for trying to achieve

sort of this entrance to heaven, to the Next Level,

and they were given new names.

The system that eventually was used by Ti and Do

was to use a single-syllable, effectively, a first name,

and then a shared last name,

which always ended in "ODY".

SAWYER: Ti and Do said that the Next Level

was adopting us into their family.

So, the family name was O-D-Y.

If I were in the group and my name was Rob,

I would be "RBBODY."

Three consonants, always capitalized--

RBB, and then ODY.

So, all the names were six letters.

And so, I became SWYODY.

DO: Hi, DVVODY. There's OLLODY.

ALXODY. There's VRNODY.

STMODY. DVDODY.

ANLODY. DSTODY.

JWNODY. GLDODY.

We call him TLLODY

because he's a little taller than LGGODY.

"ODY" is a diminutive,

so it means "a little member,"

and that TLLODY or STRODY

were little members of the Kingdom of Heaven.

It's like the diminutive for God,

and they're all on their way to becoming gods.

SAWYER: And that when we became adults,

they would drop the "Y,"

so we'd be the family of Od,

which is like a little Next Level humor,

because we were kind of odd.

ROBERT: They began wearing uniforms,

and they had a unisex look.

Very short hair, the women wore no makeup.

They had slacks, tennies, shirts that they wore,

buttoned clear to the top, long-sleeved.

If you had a look that you were attached to,

if you'd worn a beard, you know, for years and years,

you should get rid of all that and adopt a new appearance

in the same way that you took a new name,

because those were all things

that symbolized your identity as a human.

BENJAMIN: Members of Heaven's Gate didn't see themselves as robotic

or having to live within an oppressive system.

They really saw themselves as living and enjoying it.

I remember I talked to one ex-member

who said, "Actually, it was--

"the best part of my life was when I was with the Class.

I had the most-- I had the greatest growth."

And I think they even used the word "fun".

Nothing here strikes me as fun.

But I suppose if you're in-- if you're in it

with a group of several dozen other people,

and you're all working together, and you think you're doing it

for a greater good,

perhaps that's what... that's what is so meaningful.

DO: It's not that I enjoy being the instrument

of giving out these procedures.

But these students love it, they've seen the value.

It does not restrict them, it frees them.

But you have to have been there

to know what we're talking about.

Otherwise, you can easily doubt it.

Well, one thing you have to consider,

what we as individuals wanted to become.

I think everyone in this Class wanted something

more than the human world had to offer.

They were seeking some type of goodness,

some type of rightness that they did not feel in this world.

I'm seeing people actually develop

into what I always wanted to believe

they could develop into.

And it's like I want to go out

and put headlines on all the newspapers

saying it's possible to overcome your humanness,

'cause I'm seeing it happen.

[music]

JANJA: Having that kind of discipline,

and struggling through it,

and knowing that you're all struggling through it together,

creates this sense of family,

which is part of what binds people to these groups.

And when you think about years and years and years of that,

that's what makes it so difficult for people to leave.

This is the only world they know.

It's so hard not to get choked up

when you talk about this.

But I met the people that are here.

I met my teachers, Ti and Do,

and I knew that I knew all of them,

and that they were my family.

And I've been happy ever since.

I mean, it's been tough.

Anybody who's been honest, like she said,

you get hit with everything but the kitchen sink

trying to turn you away, but it's been wonderful.

And in making the decision that we made to do this,

we know that we broke hearts, we know that we hurt people,

and we don't take that lightly.

It-- we didn't want to hurt anyone.

Unfortunately, it's the individuals

that these vehicles cared for the most

that are actually the greatest threat to us.

BENJAMIN: Ti and Do were almost paranoid,

to the extent that they were afraid

they were being tracked by ex-members, family members.

One of the repercussions is they were constantly on the move

during the late '70s.

They moved from campground, to campground, to campground.

ROBERT: They never quit camping entirely,

but in 1978, they finally had to move into houses.

Apparently, some members had inherited some money,

and one of the ex-members who was close to Bo and Peep

estimated that it was somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000.

And at that point, they began renting mansions.

FRANK: My cousin, David, his dad was the president

of the New England Phone Company.

And for the first seven years of the cult,

we lived off of his trust fund.

ROBERT: They liked upscale suburban neighborhoods,

nice houses, big houses in quiet upper-middle class areas.

They would move people in,

and none of the neighbors would know.

We would live 15 people in a house,

and there was designated people that could go outside.

And the same people were seen outside all the time,

so it appeared as though there was just a few people

living in a house.

[Frank speaking]

BENJAMIN: This is Marshall Herff Applewhite's FBI report.

There's a letter from a concerned parent

which was sent to a congressman, forwarded to the FBI.

And the FBI dutifully responded

and said "there's really not much we can do

about this group, they're consenting adults."

Do wasn't worried about the government

so much as family members intervening.

NARRATOR: The magnetism of Ti and Do

enticed 19-year-old David, Nancie Brown's son.

NANCIE BROWN: I couldn't believe that he was really going off

to do this, and I had to have some knowledge of why.

I mean, after all, you've spent 18 years raising a child.

He was now 19, and he said,

"You know, I can't ever picture myself

"just living the kind of life that most people

take to be normal."

He left in '75, and this was now 1980.

Apparently, some parents and people

have tried to hire private investigators,

and nobody's been able to find out

anything about them.

There was a formation of a parents network

by the late '70s, led by a woman

named Nancie Brown.

So, any time there was any news

that the Heaven's Gate members, or part of Heaven's Gate

was at a certain location, she would notify folks.

And this is a newsletter from-- from that network.

There were many of them. This is just one.

NARRATOR: As the years past with no word from David,

Nancie Brown feared for his safety.

NANCIE: I reached the pit of despair

when the Jonestown news broke in '79.

And I remember sitting there watching this horrifying sight

of bodies scattered around the compound

like crumpled leaves.

It was just this little message in my heart all the time--

Where is he? Is he all right?

[sighs] Is he alive?

Will I ever see him again?

TERRIE NETTLES: This is '74, '75.

My mom wrote me once a month.

My mom did all the things that they weren't allowed to do.

But she never talked about the group.

All she wanted to do was talk about

what I was doing in my life.

And I wanted to know what was going on,

obviously, in her life.

And we even talked occasionally on the phone.

But the thing that I didn't like,

was she mentioned that any time she called me,

Herff was on the other line.

I received a letter on August 13th, 1982.

She said, "Terrie, if you are with others,

"please do not let them know who this is from,

"especially that network woman, Nancie Brown.

"She is not to be trusted.

"I am well and safe as of now.

"Sorry I have to be so secretive,

but that's the way it is at this time."

I just didn't know what that meant.

Are you trying to tell me something?

Is something going on?

BENJAMIN: Ti had been sick, Bonnie Lu Nettles had been sick.

She had been diagnosed with cancer,

and she was exhibiting illness.

She had cancer of the eye.

She had her eye removed and a prosthetic put in.

She never talked about it.

Never mentioned it, never complained about it.

SAWYER: They went back to the hospital,

and she had an examination,

and they said that the cancer was in her liver,

and that she only had a short time to live,

and they-- they couldn't do anything for her.

It was only like two or three weeks

from finding out to her passing.

We were all devastated.

Most of all, Do.

How could this happen? It wasn't supposed to happen.

We were all supposed to graduate together.

TERRIE: When I didn't hear from her for a while,

I was going every single day looking for a letter from her.

I came home from school one day,

and... I got this phone call

from members in the group.

[phone ringing]

A couple named Liv and Dick Joslyn.

They wanted to come talk to me about my mom.

When they showed up,

Liv said something about my mom

going to the doctor.

She talked about my mom's eye,

and that she was having trouble with it.

And... out of the blue, I just looked up at her,

and I said, "Mom's dead, isn't she?"

And, um, she said yes.

At first, I mean, for the first few seconds,

you're in denial, you know,

and is this one of those dreams I'm having,

or is this a reality?

I just felt like somebody had ripped my skeleton out of me.

You know, I just-- I just went limp.

I was a total basket case.

I mean, I... I was in shock.

And I remember going to bed that night

and... when I woke up the next morning,

my pillow was soaked, my hair was wet,

my face was wet.

I had cried all night long.

These are the death certificates.

And this was the first time I... I ever saw

when my mom died.

She died June 19th, 1985.

I found out March 22nd, 1986,

nine months after the fact.

Ti's last wishes were to not tell Terrie

about... her death.

But she was able to talk some

during that time too, so she could have called Terrie.

But she didn't.

And I know Terrie has a hard time with that,

and I understand that, I'm sorry for that.

I'm sure that's very painful.

But Ti was not the same person as her mother.

It was the same vehicle,

but none of the mind came into that vehicle.

TERRIE: I wanted to know more about my mom.

I tried to contact Herff Applewhite,

and he wouldn't return any of my calls.

He wouldn't respond to anything.

I was constantly fighting to get answers.

And then all of a sudden, he sent me a--

an audio cassette,

and he talked about everything but what I wanted to hear.

DO: Terrie, this is Do.

I'm a bit embarrassed and awkward

about the fact that I didn't contact you

when Ti left her vehicle, or died,

or however you want to look at it.

I was so torn between trying to comply with her wishes.

I guess, in honesty, I was so awkward,

that I might have been chicken

and not just taken it into my hands

and talking to you.

This task and her mission for the Kingdom of Heaven

was everything to her.

She felt that this was the only consistent way

to even end her part of the task.

I think if you'll think about that,

you can understand it, and certainly don't grieve

in thinking that she didn't want you to know

because of lack of love for you, or anything,

'cause that certainly wasn't true.

I'm going to pray for your release

from this suffering.

The suffering... [clears throat]

[choking up] ...has been very great for me.

And I want you to...

[clears throat] ...know that I love you,

and I wish I could do more for you.

TERRIE: It hurt me to hear the emotion in his voice,

because I understood it.

But at the same time, this was my mother.

This was a friend to him, a spiritual partner,

or whatever you want to call it.

It-- it's just not the same thing.

I found out later that my mom lived in Dallas

not far from where I was staying at the time.

I had moved to Huntsville for college.

I was four hours away.

I should have been there when she was sick

to hold her hand, to tell her I loved her,

to-- whatever I needed to say.

You know, you took all that away from me.

[interviewer speaking]

No. Nobody seemed to be interested.

Well, my doctor wanted me to see a psychiatrist

because I was having...

I gotta stop for a second.

DO: I feared being left with the responsibility

of the mission with my partner being gone.

But I can remember in the first few weeks

that I met Ti, that Ti said,

"Why do I feel that this is something

that I'm to give to you, and then I'm to go back?"

And I didn't know what she was talking about.

But I know now.

Do's response was deep heartbreak.

Grief.

And... to the point where he questioned...

whether he should continue the Class.

So, since Erika and I were both visiting Calgary,

'cause that's where our parents lived--

Do decided we should travel together

as check partners.

Of course, the understanding was

that that's all we were.

When we stopped for a layover,

and we're sitting on the same bench

in kind of a secluded area...

I had this overpowering desire

just to give her a hug.

That was the first time we had touched

in... about 10 years.

I just felt, let's run away together.

If she had said, "Let's stop this...

I've had enough, let's go do something else,"

I would have said yes.

- Oh! - You want me to do some work?

[inaudible chatter]

Let's continue with the tour.

NANCIE: He looked well.

Of course, it was absolutely marvelous seeing him.

Phone calls are nice, letters are nice,

but to actually...

to see and hug him, and talk to him,

and spend the couple of days together

was... very-- very important to me, and to all of us.

ROBERT: And these parents literally didn't know

if their kids were dead or alive,

because they had not heard anything from them

since '75.

NANCIE: All right! [cheers and applause]

ROBERT: One woman I talked to described her son

when he came back on Mother's Day,

she said she was shocked because he was clean-cut,

he was polite, he was really helpful around the house.

Called up his old friends, went out with them,

stuck around for two weeks, and then all of a sudden

said, "Well, it's time to go.

"I can't tell you where I'm gonna go,

"what I'm gonna be doing,

and I'll be back in touch again sometime."

And then, he vanished.

If they were really these other beings

that weren't really in this body,

this body had nothing to do with them,

why then did she die a very human death of cancer?

So, this was one of the snafus that--

that Do had to deal with.

That was a very tough one for me,

because Ti and I thought that--

we just knew, it seemed, that we would both be here

for the full duration of the task,

and it didn't occur to us that one might leave

prior to the other one leaving.

One of the most powerful forces in religion

suddenly reared its head there.

It's what we call cognitive dissonance--

the moment in which an event occurs

that seems to undermine your very theology,

your very doctrine.

BENJAMIN: The basic idea

of Heaven's Gate up to that moment

was that you would chemically and biologically

transform your body from being a human being

into becoming a Next Level alien,

and then you would physically get on board the UFO,

which would sail off into Heaven.

What happens when Bonnie Lu Nettles,

when Ti dies?

The vehicle broke down,

and humans would say, well, the vehicle died.

And so, how can you say she left her vehicle?

The explanation which was given to members

is that it looked to us

like she was suffering from cancer,

but in fact, her Next Level consciousness

burned up her human body.

Cognitive dissonance comes in.

Your faith system shifts to make room for the event.

It tested me, it tested the Class,

and we're all 10 feet taller because of it.

REZA: There is a parallel here

with Jesus and the Jesus movement.

Jesus' followers believed that Jesus was the Messiah,

according to the Jewish definition of the Messiah.

But there was a huge problem.

A dead Messiah is, by definition,

no longer the Messiah.

And so, Christianity didn't just go away.

They fundamentally redefined what "Messiah" means.

Messiah is not an earthly King,

it's a heavenly King.

The Kingdom that the Messiah creates

isn't on this world, it's on the next world.

Understand that no one had ever said these things before.

And for Heaven's Gate, that big shift

would be the idea that if it happened to her,

it might happen to others as well.

Ti's thinking was, if that's what you have in mind for me,

and if that's what you have in mind for Do,

and for the Class, then that's-- that's what we want.

When Nettles dies, it undermines the entire point

of the bodily transformation.

And now, it's a spiritual transformation.

We're going to leave our bodies behind.

So, in a strange way, the tragedy of Heaven's Gate,

the suicide of all those people,

is a direct result of the unexpected death

of one of the co-founders.

What it meant to me...

even though it still breaks my heart...

to recall the experience...

it very swiftly

and very solidly

put me on firmer ground

in relationship to my Heavenly Father.

It put me in a better relationship with Ti

than I had before she left her vehicle.

I know that Ti is still, to this day,

my primary, if not my total link

with our Heavenly Father.

BENJAMIN: During her lifetime, she's called the Older Member.

He deferred to her, and Do also said

that his connection to the Next Level

went through Ti.

After her death, Do looked to her

as still guiding him, but now from outer space.

Ti is my Older Member.

Ti is my Heavenly Father.

And in fact, it's no more than a decade after her death

that Do publicly declares himself

Jesus returned to Earth, and declares that Ti

was the one known as God the Father.

ROBERT: Even though she was raised as a Baptist,

Bonnie was involved in metaphysical teaching.

She's involved in New Age ideas,

all of this stuff

that must have just driven Do crazy,

because Marshall Herff Applewhite, Senior,

was a very prominent Presbyterian minister,

and by all accounts,

Herff really wanted to emulate him

and become a minister just like he had done.

And if you read the Heaven's Gate book

that came out much later,

Do is, like, really harsh on the New Age.

And New Age is, like, that's one of the big ways

that Lucifer is trying to get his hooks in humans.

After Ti dies,

the message becomes much more biblical,

moving away from Ti's ideas to more Do's thinking.

DO: We see the world.

We see the world as the anti-truth,

the Antichrist.

The world will see us as anti-truth, Antichrist.

We know that that is inevitable.

SAWYER: Ti gave us instructions before she died, of course,

to make our commitment to Do.

Ti trusted Do 100%.

Do came to a meeting,

maybe the second, or third, or fourth meeting

after Ti left, and... he said,

"There's something different about me.

I want to play a little game."

[people chattering] That's right.

That's right.

[chattering continues]

ROBERT: Do called everybody together one day and says,

"Well, I've got a little test for you.

If you had $100 that you could spend

for something for yourself, what would you buy?

Apparently, it just drove everybody absolutely bonkers.

Here, they've been in the process

of giving everything up,

they have no personal possessions at all.

And all of a sudden, $100 to buy something

only for yourself, what would it be?

DO: Now, when you become a candidate

for our Father's Kingdom,

our Father then says, "I'm a jealous god.

"For a period of time, you might have thought

"you loved me more than you loved those other things.

"But if you're gonna get into my house,

you have to love only me."

ROBERT: What it was, the answer,

was a very simple gold band, a cheap $100 gold band.

A wedding ring.

ROBERT: Up until this point, the focus was on the message

or the process of overcoming.

But what happens with this marriage ceremony

is now the loyalty is shifting from the message

to the messenger.

That is why ever after that,

when you see people in the group,

if there's a picture that shows their hands,

they'll have wedding rings on.

BENJAMIN: It is a question that will not go away.

What kind of messenger could convince 38 followers

to commit suicide alongside of him?

RIO DIANGELO: Do was a wonderful person.

He was very helpful, a very good teacher,

and we had a lot of reverence for him.

Here's the problem--

once people's lives are conformed

to predictable patterns through peer pressure--

and you saw the people, they were dressed the same way,

they sported the same kinds of haircuts--

virtually anything is possible.

Ti and Do never...

were out to con anybody.

If they conned anybody, they conned themselves first.

REPORTER: Miss Lalich, let me start with you.

Do you believe this was suicide or murder?

I believe it was murder.
