  • Heaven's Gate (Part 2): The Cult Kingdom and the Comet Controversy
    Dec 15 2021

    First and foremost- don’t join cult! Ashley and Megan cover the 17 steps to the TELAH with The Cult Kingdom, along with the interpretation of recycling the Earth. They work through the weeds of the nonbelievers (when ya know, ya know). Ever heard of a class? Grab an applesauce and we'll tell ya.

    Rumor has it, the cult predicted the next Earth recycling, but please don’t come after us in 2027.

    Side note- Do you want to know what their last meal was? Go to your local super market and you may just find it under the frozen food section.
