Kind of still operating. There are some people who were members (classmates) who go by TELAH as I recall and still keep the old site going and will even give you material if you request it, and one of the old classmates, Sawyer, is still a firm believer. He has been very much at odds with other former classmates of Ti and Do and resents their taking ownership of things Heaven's Gate. I underestrand people wanting to not be part of this world, to want to something special, but I find the belief-system anbd desires so unsettling, and deepy unethical to the vehicle you inhabit (the body that is taken over). That body snatcher mentality is so off-putting to me. These were misfits who found a sense of community and purpose and propped each-other up which led to the 30 "beaming up" as one member who ended her vehicle's life put it -- A Star Trek reference being very apt since Nichelle Nichols's (Uhura) brother was one of the class that took that fateful act.

I spent so much time looking into them, watching documentaries, hearing the tapes, watching the videos, correspondence, everything, that I do feel this deep connection with the class (and I find it all so sad).

^ Very interesting. Frankly, the "exit" tapes from Applewhite and his students (the away team) I found so compelling, but I don't recommend to others. Buddhafield is fascinating.

Oh, and I hope no one complains about us derailing the thread. Icarium might be like, "The dark forces have tried to steer this down these hellish side-roads and tried to lead the flock astray and away from the straight and narrow road of the truth and the light of my threadly vision, but we shall prevail. You look thirsty, here, have some Kool-Aid." Sorry for such a terrible cult leader impersonation and an even worse impersonation of Icarium (who may be a part-time cult leader, who knows?)

No, i like threads that goes into various discussions. Also if it manage to have a civil tongue. Tom Cruise is an enigmatic ficure whom inspire me. The Last Samurai and Minority Report is in my to 20 films ever.

The four choises i have in the poll, is both based on my recollextion of poll results in previous PA polls and actors level of esteemed preformances, whom also has some relation of not being to much years appart from eachother.

As a fan of the Harry Potter film series, and me and my fathers relation to the jewish story of seccond WW, Schindlers List have a VERY spesial space to hungarian jews, the ability of Ralph Finnes in portraing Amon Göth, sends cold sensasion of ice down the spine, and hot hatefull venom. Also Finnes role in the English Patient. Ralph Finnes is one of my favourite actors, and from interviews and how he was among the young actors in Harry Potter, a real gentleman

Throw in The Name Of The Father too, great actor!

Hi,

A thought ... remember that she went on to politics ... and I just kept thinking about something ... can you imagine her putting on a "performance" in front of all those rich farts that didn't win anything and bought their way in?

IO can see it now ... by the time she is done with her small speech, half the men in there have prunes and worn out crayons left!  And likely, their shorts wet! 

DDL for me, although Anthony Hopkins is probably my all time favourite.

And from across the pond, it would have to be Tom Hanks….
