  Two members stayed behind. I heard recently they still respond to email. >two group members were briefed about a side mission. They would remain on Earth – the last surviving members – and their job was to maintain the Heaven’s Gate website exactly as it was on the day the last suicides took place. >And for two decades, the lone Gaters have diligently continued their mission, answered queries, paid bills and dealt with problems. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/two-decades-after-heavens-gate-10158830 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/weird-news/two-decades-after-h...

      > They didn't drink the Kool-aid. lol. Fun fact: the folks at Jonestown didn't drink Kool-Aid either, it was grape Flavor Aid.

        Alan Moore wrote a comedy comic where a traumatized Cool-Aid Man is publically accused of involvement at Jonestown and insists on the record in a tell all interview it was the Flavor Aid man who committed the crime.
