Didn't they hide behind a thin veneer of Christianity? I don't remember much about it. It does seem more strictly cultish though now that you mention it. But there are others on the far right who definitely proclaim their Christ while at the same time spewing their hatred against lots of different things.

I agree with you fully about the other things you said.

Jim Jones may have hid behind a very thin veil of Christianity, very thin! :-) The Heaven's Gate people didn't, at least not the kind we know.

Spewing hatred is not the same as proclaiming a false doctrine. Afterall, you will know them by their fruits. False doctrine can be very deceptive because they throw in a little truth here and there and some people who aren't grounded in the Word are led down a path that may lead them far astray from the will of God. The promise of riches can be very seductive. Just my opinion, certainly I am not an authority. I have just studied it, and have been confronted by them and had to stand my ground.

I don't mean to offend anyone who does follow these ministries, but I do hope they will take a moment or two and just rethink some of the things they are being taught, and be sure it does line up with the Word of God.
