I have taken the test of the dice, and it spoke true to me:)
"As Dan Akroyd would say, "The Orbs of Meepzorp Await!" The Mother Ship will call for you at midnight. Be there or be square!
The group that ended as "Heaven's Gate" was known by various names over the twenty-two years of its existence. In the early years, at least, the group did not give itself a name. Hence, several of its names were given to it by outsiders. Sociologist Robert Balch, who studied the group during its early life, referred to them as the "Bo and Peep UFO Cult." Picking up on a key teaching of the group, news reporters often referred to the group as HIM ("human individual metamorphosis"). Members referred to themselves simply as "the group," and their leaders as "The Two." In a newspaper advertisement taken out by the group in 1994, they called themselves "Total Overcomers Anonymous." "Heaven's Gate," the name of their Web site, is apparently the name they settled on near the end of the life of the group. Marshall Herff Applewhite (aka Bo and Do) was born in 1931, the son of a Presbyterian minister in Spur, Texas. Bonnie Lu Nettles (aka Peep and Ti was born in 1927, though her birthplace is unknown. In 1952, Applewhite earned a B.A. at Austin College, and studied briefly at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia before dropping out to pursue a career in music. He served as music director at the First Presbyterian Church in Gastonia, N.C. before moving to Houston. In Houston he pursued a career in the performing arts and became a professor of music at St. Thomas University. Nettles was a nurse when they met in Houston in 1972. Little is know about her background other than knowledge of her interest in metaphysical studies. She was a member of the local Theosophical Society and participated in channeling. She apparently introduced Applewhite to the world of metaphysical studies. Applewhite and Nettles met after he had been dismissed from St. Thomas University as the result of a scandal involving a male student. The dismissal plunged Applewhite into depression and bitterness. Balch (1995: 147) reports that Applewhite had long "vacillated between homosexual and heterosexual identities, never feeling comfortable with either." In Nettles, Applewhite found a "platonic helper" who did not threaten his sexual identity. Gradually isolating themselves, they cut off contact with others. During this period, reports Balch (1995: 142), they became "absorbed in a private world of vision, dreams, and paranormal experiences that included contacts with space beings who urged them to abandon their worldly pursuits."
If you're going to follow a false prophet, why not go all the way? Bo and Peep were doing the vision thing a lot more creatively than Joseph Smith.
