The Life Of A Raven

I was watching TV earlier, a swedish channel, when i ended up watching a show bout a cult called “heaven’s gate”
where i think it was 28 people took their lives, in the hope of getting up to the next level of their lives.
and i end up thinking allot bout this.

How do someone, get allot of people to live with them for over 20 years,
Saying He is jesus that has returned to earth in his “Vessel” to take them to the next part.

I do understand that allot of people need religious belifes, but still this sounds insane to me.
To hand over all your earthly belongings, your name your house, never have contact with your family.

I mean, ofcourse its possible that this man really knows how to talk people around his finger,
we have seen this before in history.

But just believing that this person, will set you free, and when it all boiled down to it, they werent even talking bout heaven.

A spaceship was going to come down to earth and take them up to the next level.
In my own mind, i can not see how that makes sense to anyone.
Jesus comes down in a spaceship to make you into a genderless alien?

yea that was also one of the things the men of this cult did, they got themselves nutered.

My mind seriously starts screaming “WHY?!WHY?!”

All in all this ended up in a mass suicide.
But what actually frightened me the most was that members, that were away while the rest of the cult took their lives, actually followed up on it, taking their own lives else where.

Scary how much 1 man can infulence people.
but they mentioned another suicide cult, on this show, they didnt really say much bout it, so i looked it up a bit myself.

The cult was called “People’s Temple” which was lead by a man named Jim jones.
Together with him, over 900 people took their lives, women,men and children.
they were given Kool-Aid with cyanide, also poison in syringes.

What happened at Jonestown, is one of the places most people have died, in the united states,besides 9/11,
of a none natural disaster.

i was so shocked when i read into the death numbers on this cult and also saw some of the pictures that were taken when JonesTown was discovered with all the bodies.
1 Man, gets 900 people to take their lives.

Makes you turn around in wonder, and think, “Didn’t these people understand what they were getting themselves into?”
And also if the human for belife is so large, that they will follow any man,
as long as he can speak for himself, and even follow him into death?

I actually don’t have words for this cos i think its so shocking.

End of Rant for today
