Is "brainwashing" perhaps a form of gaslighting?

Kerri is the most thoughtful, reflective and understanding person if her side of things is accurate. Her father is lucky to have someone to committed to loving him and supportive as she is.

Great deep dive into a story I had only previously known through mainstream news. I didn't realise that there were new members joining as late as the 90's, originally thought the members that commited suicide had been believers for decades. My heart goes out to all the family members left behind, suicide always leaves so many unanswered questions.

The Heaven's Gate podcast tackles a very difficult and traumatic subject with great nuance & respect to everyone involved. If you ever asked 'why would / how could they?' this is the podcast for you.

Episode 10 packs a punch, even compared to the rest of the Heaven's Gate podcast. I literally cried. Damn.

I can't believe they hid her mothers death, and then not even stay to explain.

intergalactic nonsense.. the perfect description for the gullibility of some people. It's baffling how anyone could fall for this. Granted aliens are more likely than gods

Really enjoyed the podcast but I wish it would have moved a little quicker. A lot of filler and musical interludes. Besides that great job.
