    When my mind wanders to the subject of cults and people who are members of cults,I always catch myself thinking things like,"What kind of sheep-brained automoton would ever allow themselves to be taken in by something that's so obviously ridiculous to me!?" And when a "knee-jerk reaction" type thought like that pops into my head,its immediately followed by a little pang of guilt. Because that's not fair. I'm sure it's just like getting robbed or being on the frontlines of a battlefield or something like that. Inasmuch as you may like to think you'd behave a certain way,but until you find yourself in a situation like that you have absolutely no idea what you would actually do.

    I know several people who were in Xenos, and I myself attended many of their events. They are fairly normal to outsiders, but the cult alarms start going off loudly when they force members to become reliant on them for everything and then force members to abandon their outside friends and families who weren't a 'good influence' on them - which means basically anyone who has or has had premarital relations or other various 'impure things', or people who just don't like Xenos. Luckily all of the friends I knew in the cult left it shortly after college, but some of them were REALLY into it until it started negatively impacting them personally.

    back in Uni my friend and I were approached by members of the Unification Church. They were pretty persistent and even got my friend's #. He had to block them because of spam. It's just crazy how young and international their reach is.

    I like your take on these types of videos.. I have always been into true crime. They're always taken very seriously. I feel like you brought a good mix respect and seriousness to the story and while meshing your personality to it so it did keep it a little more light. I've heard the story before but you had definitely a fresh take on it.😊

    The fact that Heaven's Gate responded gives them some legitimacy, at least on the cool factor.

    I know others have already mentioned it but the fact that you asked Heaven's Gate their opinion on Eternal Atake made me bust out laughing at work

    @55:26 Congrats on your clean time! I injected heroin and other opiates for 10 years before i quit! In my opinion going to programs makes it harder to stay clean because you stay surrounded by addicts and your life continues to revolve around drugs. The only difference is you obsess over not using drugs as opposed to obsessing over using them... different things work for different people!
