Hi, today I will tell you about probably the most conceptual sect in the history of mankind. There will be both Jesus dissecting in a luxurious spaceship, and a lite version of the Temple of the Nations. Let's go!
Two
It was in the United States about 50 years ago. The era of the heyday of technology and the general fascination with the topic of aliens and flying saucers. Our protagonists are the real Bonnie and Clyde from the sectarian world. And in our story was exactly Bonnie. Bonnie Nettles and Marshal Applewhite.
Both are classic losers in life. Two divorces, and Marshal also lost his career due to a scandal with a student whom he harassed. Bonnie was also greetings. Its main theme is occultism and spiritualism. In short, they found each other and muddied. Soon, Marshall began having visions that he was the messiah, which Bonnie naturally supported. They pulled the story from the Bible by the ears and believed that they embody two witnesses from the Revelation of John the Theologian. In this prophecy, God gives strength to two heavenly messengers who come to life after a martyr's death and ascend to heaven in a cloud. Applewhite and Nettles were fans of science fiction, so they decided that the cloud is a spaceship, and Heaven is a physical place that can only be reached in a living body aboard a spaceship.
"Church of the celibacy of sexaholics anonymous"
The idea of a new faith was slowly formulated. Die - go to a new level by flying with Jesus in a spaceship to a newfangled paradise. The way is to give up all attachments on the planet, especially sex. It's time to recruit followers! They began to travel around the country preaching and occasionally committing petty crimes. Soon Marshal ended up in prison, where he had time to dream up. So he fantasized that our ancestors were aliens, and after death they would take us away in a spaceship, thereby saving us from the impending apocalypse. Gradually, visiting other sects, recruits joined their ranks. So they first called themselves "Church of the celibacy of sexaholics anonymous", apparently for marketing purposes, and then "Metamorphoses of a single person."
Applewhite and Nettles and their group constantly traveled and stayed in isolated camps. It was during this period that the basic requirements for all participants were formulated: it was forbidden to call or write to friends and relatives, to use drugs and alcohol, sex was strictly prohibited. Men had to shave their beards, and women had to refuse to wear jewelry. Friendship and common forms of communication should be suppressed. Members of the movement adopted new names that ended in "-odi" like Rkkodi, Jmmody. Soon their flock numbered a couple of hundred people, but the guys broke off. It was at that time in society that distrust of sects was aggravated because of the same Temple of the Nations, so new participants both arrived and left.
Sectarian cyberpunk
Unfortunately, Bonnie was diagnosed with cancer and she drove away pretty quickly. The Marshal became depressed, so he aggravated the prohibitions in terms of sex and even castrated himself along with several followers. Against the background of general loss and depression, he began to rethink the structure of religion: earlier he taught that members of his community would leave the Earth in a physical body and that death causes rebirth, but now ascension was only possible through a spiritual path ... The soul will be transferred to a spaceship, where it will receive a new body. Only it will make it possible to arrive at the biblical Eden - a planet inhabited by super beings. This is exactly what, according to Applewhite, Jesus Christ did in his time. But soon the guys found a new hobby. They learned programming and web design,
Judgment day
Nevertheless, we do not forget who the heroes of our history were. Losers. Therefore, the sect, renamed "Heavenly Gates", remained a handful of repulsed fanatics, which numbered no more than 50 people. Marshal's health deteriorated, so he realized that the spaceship was about to pick everyone up. And very handy at that time a very bright comet flew over the United States, which, as you know, was that very ship. The guys decided that in order to teleport to the ship, they had to say goodbye to their own bodies. So they rented a small house in California and amicably overdosed on barbiturates. At the end of March 1997, the community of 39 people was completely closed from the outside world, and its members wrote farewell notes. When the police found the corpses, everyone was wearing black clothes that read "Heaven '
