Cult Week 4

Summary

Every time I heard about Cult it just come in my mind Heaven’s Gate Cult. March 23, 1997 was when the mass suicide known as Heaven’s Gate occurred in Rancho Santa Fe community of San Diego, California. Thirty-nine members were found dead neatly in bunk beds wearing Nike shoes, black sweatpants, and covered with a purple cloth. I remember seeing the video in one of my classes and I was in shock how people could kill themselves because as they believed they were graduating from earth before mass suicide. Sad that all those people die with them believe. Cults are often seen as an alternative religion. Most cults are started because someone doesn’t like the way the world is and want to create what they feel the perfect world is. Then this person strives to make others believe as they do so they will join.
Religious Cults being manipulative, abusive and exploitative exploitive. It is very scary the thing people will do to join some type of cult. I remember when I was little, I used to go to a church cult until one day I was told that I was not allowed to play with my brothers, and I was only 9 years old still remember and that was the last time they saw me too. I always to myself what was the reason of that, but I will never give up of my family for no cult.
