Have you ever known anyone in a cult?

Just recently a roommate of mine said he was in a cult when he lived in AZ and I just looked it up, it is pretty freaky.
They even have a section dedicated to explaining how they are not a cult.

Some people are just plain jealous of the accomplishments that our organization and community have achieved. Some demonize us simply because they do not agree with our beliefs on spiritual reality.

Some ex-community members, who chose to not live up to these standards, like to use the word “cult” to identify those in "our group" who do choose to live by certain ethics and values.
We have tons of cults here in Az (baptist, catholic, jewish, hindu, muslim etc...). As well as hippie communes. Sounds like "your group" would fit right in here considering you have "ex-community members" who slander your "group." I don't think anyone ever would identify themselves as belonging to a cult, until they leave said cult. Maybe I'm not the best person to ask since my "faith" lies firmly in the scientific arena. Reproducible results make me a "believer."
