Podcasts about hale bopp comet

I have vivid memories of the night of March 22, 1997. Part of it has to do with, y'know, young dumb love—but most of it has to do with the Hale-Bopp Comet, also known as the Great Comet, which was brilliantly visible from my hometown that night. I had a huge crush on this guy, and he invited me to watch the comet with him. We climbed up on the rooftop of this neighborhood bar with a bottle of screw-top wine, and we watched the sky—and suddenly, there it was, a bright silvery ball with a long glowing tail. Magic. I'll never forget it—wrote some bad poetry about it later that night. And then a couple mornings later, I woke up to the strangest news story of my life. A group calling themselves Heaven's Gate had taken their own lives en masse out in California—and they'd left behind a video explaining why. They were catching a ride on the comet, with the full certainty that it would take them to paradise. They were leaving their human bodies behind, chasing the pure perfection of enlightenment. These were smart, educated people with families who loved them. What led them to this? Join us for the story of one of the deadliest cults in American history: Heaven's Gate. Sources:Heaven's Gate: America's UFO Religion, Benjamin Zeller https://web.archive.org/web/20081003124716/http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070318/news_lz1n18timelin.htmlCult Education Institutehttps://www.heavensgate.com/ https://web.archive.org/web/20080122002236/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,986136-1,00.htmlWikipedia "Comet Hale-Bopp" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comet_Hale%E2%80%93BoppFollow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/true-crime-campfire--4251960/support.

The Hale-Bopp Comet was a sight to behold. However, no one could have guessed what would happen as it would travel across the US. This week I'll tell you all about Ti and Do, TELAH, and what it's like to be part of one of the most obscure religious cults of the 70's.allthatsinteresting.com, history.com

Bonnie Lu Nettles and Marshall Herff Applewhite, Jr. founded what is known today as Heaven's Gate, a fantastic group of UFO enthusiasts and religious believers. Though they both came from a Christian background in Texas, the mystery of Area 51 affected their daily lives to the very end.  Nettles was a nurse, and Applewhite was a pastor, but they shared a willingness to adjust their cosmology (and theology) with new information. Before the end, they had biblical arrangement of seer and spokesman, but they were a lot more extreme about sexual abstinence than even your most annoying Christian friend.   Bonnie and Marshall adopted new names about as often as you might change your shoes--something that Nike would prefer not to talk about.   While the evidence suggests that Nettles and Applewhite were true believers, going so far as to offer financial support to those who decided their commune wasn't right for them, thing proved dangerous at the end, when Applewhite decided that the spirit of a long deceased Nettles was on a spaceship tailing the Hale-Bopp Comet, which would pass by the Earth in 1997.  Fearing an unprovoked Waco-style massacre, and believing the next stage of human evolution was achievable through suicide, the cult of Heaven's Gate willingly took their own lives with pudding/apple sauce mixed with phenobarbital.  We explore the realities surrounding brainwashing, and the various pseudonyms taken on by everybody involved, and the fantastic range of names adopted by the church before settleing on Heaven's Gate (Anonymous Sexaholics Celibate Church; Human Individual Metamorphosis; Total Overcomers Anonymous).   All this and more....   Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshop.Join the Community on Discord.Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram.

Why do some identical twins have different fingerprints? Oh the 90s, era of the Hale-Bopp Comet and the Human Genome Project in science. Mapping the human genome was A Big Deal, and everyone from then-President Clinton to your high school biology teacher was pretty excited.  The genome project eventually led to the lesser-known but also very important Human Epigenome Project — health impacts beyond our genetic code. How are we impacted by environment and behavior, in addition to (or despite) the effects of our genes? Ruby and Anne are having this critical nature/nurture conversation with Kent Thornburg, PhD, Professor of Medicine, Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, School of Medicine at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU).  Just FYI, Dr. Thornburg's list of credentials, accomplishments, and accolades are far too long to reproduce here, but you can learn more about him and watch his Tedx Talk on the OHSU website: https://www.ohsu.edu/people/kent-l-thornburg-phd. We have so much technology, so much information — why are we sicker and with lower life expectancies than earlier generations? Because technology is a tool, much like a hammer. You can build with it, but you can also destroy. We've actually caused epigenetic changes through processed foods, decreased physical activity, increased stress, and other poor choices. Learn what the science of epigenetics actually studies and what we've discovered so far (including that fingerprint-twin question). And learn to take action that can help you be healthier and pass on better health to future generations.

In part 2 of our 3 part series, the boys sit down to follow up on the Art Bell Hale-Bopp Companion conspiracy. We are now beginning to get corroboration from other sources, a mysterious, top 10, University astronomer has had contact with Professor Courtney Brown and his colleagues at the Farsight Institute to verify that there is an alien vehicle traveling with the Hale-Bopp Comet. We also hear from our favorite amateur astronomer about the absolute deluge of media attention he received (mostly negative) after he went on Coast to Coast AM.    Part 2 will conclude our examination of the Hale-Bopp Companion controversy episodes in which Art is firm believer at this point. In episode 3, we will be taking a look at Art confronting Professor Brown and the interaction between Heaven's Gate, Art Bell, Coast to Coast AM, and the Hale-Bopp Comet.    Our series will go through the most important episodes that led to what will be known as the Heaven's Gate Ritual Suicide. A religious movement that believed that the Hale-Bopp comet was a signal from intergalactic entities. Was Art Bell responsible for the death of these 39 individuals? This three part series will attempt to uncover that very fact.

Paul and Chris, in a Coast to Coast PM first, are doing a multi-part series in which they are unpacking one of the more serious controversies in the Art Bell Universe, the Hale-Bopp Comet Conspiracy. In our first part, Art has amateur astronomer Chuck Shramek and Professor of Political Science at Emory University, Courtney Brown to discuss, what they claim to be, is an alien craft that is following the Hale-Bopp Comet that captivated our whole planet in 1995-1997.    Our series will go through the most important episodes that led to what will be known as the Heaven's Gate Ritual Suicide. A religious movement that believed that the Hale-Bopp comet was a signal from intergalactic entities. Was Art Bell responsible for the death of these 39 individuals?

In 1997 the largest mass suicide on US soil happened as the Hale-Bopp Comet passed over earth. The tragedy was a result of the belief that evil space aliens were holding humans back from reaching their true potential, deeply held by the religious organization Heaven's Gate, founded in 1974 by leaders Ti and Do. One of the earliest members, Sharon Welsh just happened to be the aunt of my friend and fellow podcaster, Leslie Fear. So I asked Leslie if she would come help me tell the story of Heaven's Gate, using her never been told insider perspective.

Hello Everyone! This week we have a cosmic episode that will go down in all land time. Join us as Kelly tells us all about The Hale-Bopp Comet and The Heaven's Gate Cult.

What happens when you start to question the moral foundation you grew up on? In this episode, Steve and Leo sit down to have another conversation about programming but begin to notice similar principles behind law, society, its mores, and even religion. Leo grew up a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, a Protestant-Christian denomination distinguished by its observance of the Sabbath (on Saturday) as a sanctified day of rest. While studying the Bible, he started noticing circular logic and other problematic reasoning which led him to question assumptions from his upbringing and begin to let go of his faith. As an INTP, reworking his beliefs wasn't personally as challenging as the fear of disappointing his family because leaving the faith could be interpreted as jeopardizing his soul and a cause for separation from the ones he loves.  What's clear is that both Steve and Leo have had to do a lot of thinking surrounding issues of faith and community. Steve and Leo also talk about free-will, cults, workaholism, burnout and depression.  Guest: Leo Lutz Deytah - Creative Digital Consultancy Instagram: @only1skeemer Episode References: OzzoBot Seventh-day Adventist Church - Wikipedia Business Wars: Cereal Wars - Apple Podcasts Ninety-five Theses - Wikipedia Inferno (Dante) - Wikipedia Original Sin - Wikipedia Calvinism - Wikipedia Arminianism - Wikipedia Ten Commandments - Wikipedia The Great Disappointment - Wikipedia The History of the Millerites – ThoughtCo Heaven's Gate - Wikipedia   Teetotalism - Wikipedia Prohibition - HISTORY Saving Mr. Banks - IMDb Science Mike - The Cozy Robots Show (formerly Ask Science Mike) The Burnout Generation, Anne Helen Petersen (Buzzfeed essay) The Liturgists Podcast * Faith Undone Podcast * * If you're looking for information on deconstruction, many listeners may find listening to these podcasts from Season 1 more helpful than the more recent episodes.

Plus, we discuss the mass suicide committed by its members in 1997, the reason behind the Nike shoes, and more.[FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA]TWITTER: www.twitter.com/PodcastAfraidINSTAGRAM: www.instagram.com/PodcastAfraidYOUTUBE: https://tinyurl.com/3mwr54tbTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@podcastafraid[PATREON & KO-FI]Do you need more Even the Podcast is Afraid content, and would like to help support the show in the process?

This week on Bad Ideas we dive into the Heaven's Gate Cult, a millenarian group led by Marshall Applewhite. The group believed that they would ride a ship hidden behind the Hale-Bopp Comet into a new life of ascendance.

The Hale-Bopp Comet was considered the most observed discovery in the 20th Century. For many, it was a time of excitement and scientific studies. But for some, like the followers of Heaven's Gate, it was a time to leave this world. Listen in as we learn about what happened at the Heaven's Gate Mansion in 1997.======Follow us on Twitter @UntimelyPodcastMusic: "Humbled in a Battle" by Antti Luode (http://anttismusic.blogspot.com)

What could compel 39 people from all walks of life to abandon their friends and family and commit suicide in a vain and rather crazy attempt to hop a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet in March of 1997? Well, the answer is stranger than you think...this week we look into the history, mystery, and ultimate tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult. How did a Texas nurse and a college choral director with Broadway dreams become the leaders of the UFO Cult to end all UFO cults? And how did they convince so many unlikely people to join them? Were they really trying to transcend humanity or were they perfectly deranged bedfellows preying on the trust of their followers. This week we shave our heads, learn the handshakes and try to get to the bottom of the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to start a cult with Alexa (he's unsuccessful), in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot also tries to order a 5 gallon drum of Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid (it's related), and also in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot offers to get drinks for the show (also actually related). All of that and more on the podcast that has never been in a cult, but if we were we’re pretty sure Dr Frank N Furter would be our leader – Hysteria 51.

DEEP DIVE - On this episode we talk about one of the biggest mass suicides on American soil and an organisation that shook the American people to the core in the late 90s, The Heavens Gate Cult. Classed as crackpots and 'Techno Pagans’ the cult operated from 1976 until the mass suicide event in 1997 where 39 people died by ingesting poison laced applesauce, and lying down peacefully to die with a purple shroud over their face. This strangest of scenes was orchestrated by the cults leader Marshall Herff Applewhite who founded the cult with his wife and partner Bonnie Lou Nettles. They allegedly met in a psychiatric hospital where Nettles was a nurse and Applewhite a patient. Suspected schizophrenia was the cause of Applewhite's mental maladies and when paired with Nettle’s support and somewhat similar delusions, the recipe for a crazy religious organisation was born.Using mysticism, theosophy and fundamental elements of many religions, Nettles and Applewhite created a UFO focussed cult that appealed to the more modern faithful follower. God and Jesus didnt do it anymore for people coming out of the swinging 60s and the promise of hitching a ride, body and soul, on a real honest to goodness UFO into another galaxy was a dream for these cult members.After Nettles death in 1985 the cult belief system took a dark turn and self mutilations, like castration, began to take place. Polygamy, starvation, celibacy, and mind control techniques like regiments sleep and food and constant humming were all inflicted on the members of the cult in Bonnies absence. Applewhite hatched a plan and created a new doctrine where only the spirit would now be accepted into the spaceship and in 1997 they got their chance.The Hale-Bopp Comet was to sail past the Earth and Marshall convinced the followers of the cult that there was a spaceship in its wake; piloted by Bonnie Nettles spirit 12 years after her death. The all believed and went about video taping confessional suicide notes on tape and describing their justification for the mass suicide that was about to take place. We discuss the origins of the cult, the nature of the relationship between Applewhite and Nettles and the mentality of the members to take their own lives. ________________________This podcast is supported by the generous donations of the wonderful folks over at Patreon.

In this episode of OBP, Kaity Heart and Blaquie O talk about Heaven's Gate Cult that sealed their fate with the passage of the Hale-Bopp Comet...oh, and they also talk about harpies, Iron Fist, and the REAL king of the wild frontier.

The 20 year anniversary of one of the strangest tales in modern American religious history is quickly approaching. On March 26th, March 26, 1997 Marshall Herff Applewhite led a group of 39 devoted followers to their final destination. In their minds they were headed to a spaceship following the Hale-Bopp Comet where they would be taken and transformed into perfect angelic alien beings, a state in which they would live forever. We're joined by Benjamin E. Zeller, Religious Historian and Author of the book "Heaven's Gate: America's UFO Religion."

Today's Show: Democrat look shell-shocked after President Trump delivers his address to the joint session of congress; once again proving that they have not been paying attention. Also, several democrat congresswomen dress up like they are awaiting the next Hale-Bopp Comet. And, not even an alt-left fake news poll can hide that Americans are falling in love with the Trump agenda. Listen to The Ryno Report LIVE, Monday-Friday on Renegade Talk Radio

The Battle of the Somme began on July 1st 1916, one hundred years ago this month, and it lasted until the 18th of November. This was the defining battle of the first world war and the very first day of this clash was the bloodiest in the history of the British Army. Hundreds of thousands would lose their lives in the four months of fighting. This was a campaign fought between the German and British empires and the Battle of the Somme has been called the beginning of modern all-arms warfare. The bloodshed is similar to the Gettysburg and Antietam battles during the American Civil War and as we have found with the locations where these meetings took place, the Battle of the Somme battlefield is reputed to be incredibly haunted. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of the Battle of the Somme! The Moment in Oddity was suggested by listener Brittany Cox and features Crybaby Bridge and This Day in History features the discovery of the Hale-Bopp Comet. Our location was suggested by and researched by Oddity Editor Bob Sherfield.

Strap on your Nikes, grab your favorite alien snack, and join us as we look back at the time we tried to uncover the truth behind the Heaven's Gate Cult. Did we find the keys to the kingdom or just a one-way ticket to Crazy Town? You'll have to tune in to find out!Original DescriptionWhat could compel 39 people from all walks of life to abandon their friends and family and commit suicide in a vain and rather crazy attempt to hop a ride on a UFO hiding behind the Hale-Bopp Comet in March of 1997? Well, the answer is stranger than you think...this week we look into the history, mystery, and ultimate tragedy of the Heaven's Gate cult. How did a Texas nurse and a college choral director with Broadway dreams become the leaders of the UFO Cult to end all UFO cults? And how did they convince so many unlikely people to join them? Were they really trying to transcend humanity or were they perfectly deranged bedfellows preying on the trust of their followers. This week we shave our heads, learn the handshakes and try to get to the bottom of the largest mass suicide to ever take place on American soil. Plus, Conspiracy Bot tries to start a cult with Alexa (he's unsuccessful), in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot also tries to order a 5 gallon drum of Sharkleberry Fin Kool-Aid (it's related), and also in unrelated news Conspiracy Bot offers to get drinks for the show (also actually related). All of that and more on the podcast that has never been in a cult, but if we were we're pretty sure Dr Frank N Furter would be our leader – Hysteria 51.Email us your favorite WEIRD news stories:weird@hysteria51.comSupport the ShowGet exclusive content & perks as well as an ad and sponsor free experience at https://www.patreon.com/Hysteria51 from just $1ShopBe the Best Dressed at your Cult Meeting!https://hysteria-51.creator-spring.com/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
