Here's an entry from "Encyclopedia Jill": H.I.M. [Human Individual Metamorphosis] Flying saucer cult founded in 1975 in the American West by Bo and Peep, an unmarried, middle-aged couple whose real names were Herf Applewhite and Bonnie Lu Trousdale Nettles of Houston, Texas. They claimed that they would lead their followers to a literal ascension into Heaven via spacecraft. They began holding meetings in various locations throughout the west when their followers began following them around, from one camp to another, from Oregon to Nebraska. Bo & Peep told their followers that they would eventually be assassinated, then rise to lead them to the spacecraft. One devotee remarked, "We've got to get them killed... that's the only way we're ever going to get off!" Herf studied music and taught at St. Thomas College. Ms. Nettles studied nursing and astrology. In 1972, the couple formed the Christian Arts Center in Houston, sponsoring lectures on theosophy, mysticism, meditation, astrology, etc. The couple was living together but renounced sex. The two claimed that they had both come from the "heavenly kingdom" into the wombs of women as "space fetuses: with a mission to prepare others for the Second Coming and ascension of faithful into heaven via UFO. They used the names Bo and Peep and other nonsensical names to emphasize their anonymity. H.I.M.'s caravan wended its way through Colorado, Wyoming, Arizona, Washington, Oregon and Nebraska. Current status unknown. [Hayden Hughes, Brad Steiger, UFO Missionaries Extraordinary, 1976.] In "Crop Circle Connector Truthseekers 8" we find: Bo and Peep, formerly known as Bonnie Nettles and Marshall Applewhite. In 1975 this Californian couple founded a movement called Human Individual Metamorphosis (HIM for short), which greatly appealed to followers of New Age philosophies. HIM was an early version of the present-day Ascension movement. Bo and Peep, also known as The Two, preached that death could be overcome through physical ascension into another realm beyond the confines of planet Earth. One of their publicity posters read: "UFOs - Why they are here. Who they have come for. When they will land. Two individuals say they were sent from the level above human and will return to that level in a spaceship (UFO) within the next three months. This man and woman will discuss how the transition from the human level to the next level is accomplished, and when this may be done. If you have ever entertained the idea that there might be a real physical level in space beyond the Earth's confines, you will want to attend this meeting." Members of this group were expected to give up their names, belongings, radios, televisions, books, and become celibate. They lived in communes and were forced to lead a detached lifestyle, in constant anticipation of their imminent physical ascension. Gradually, members began to get disillusioned because no-one was ascending and the prophecies made by Bo and Beep would pass without incident. Many followers were ripped off financially, and it was later learned that Bo and Peep had befriended one another in a psychiatric hospital; where she was a nurse and he was a patient. They also had criminal records, having been arrested on charges of car theft and credit card fraud... -- HaHa Rarebit Dreams
