Believing that America was Babylon and that Denver would soon be destroyed, the alleged "doomsday cult" left their comfortable lives, their loved ones, jobs, and homes, to meet the unreasonable demands of the cult leader. For a brief period of time, the highly publicized cult opened its invisible prison gates and permitted a few cult members to communicate with the secular world using email. Tormented by their absence, Betty J. R. Chavez struggled to convince her sister, Jan and Jan's millionaire husband John to return home and resume their rich life.
