Have you ever been approached by a cult?

A REAL cult. Like Branch Davidian or People's Temple (Jim Jones) or Heaven's Gate....something like those.

I got approached by the same one twice....it made me feel like such a loser! I was thinking, boy I must look like an idiot with no direction in life....The only way I could feel better was to tell myself that they probably approach everyone!

Yes, I have been approached by a cult. 21
No, I have not been approached. (Are you sure??) 34
I don't know, maybe. I ignore religious 'salesmen'. 23
I was actually IN a cult for a while. 4
I'll leave my answer in a comment. 2
Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

      Jehovah Witnesses are not a cult. A cult is defined as being: A relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister. They're definitely not sinister, lolx.

    I used to be a Jehovahs Witness because I was a kid and that's what my parents were. WORST TIME OF MY LIFE!

    Jehovah's Witnesses used to call with me every week for a few months but I think I had too many problems for them to listen to and they never called back.

    I thought they may have been able to run a few errands for me ;o)

  • I was on the bus to college once and this morman sat in the seat infront of me. He turned around and started preaching his belief. It irritated me. I don't have a problem with religion, but when they think I need someone to explain it to me, that just irritates me.
    Someone that was a social "buddy" had a mentally disturbed christian as a mother, she wouldn't leave me alone at all.

    • Ha, I doubt it, Catholics don't recruit. That's not a cult, anyway.

        Yeah all religion is a cult. You follow some made up rules priest by some guy reading the holy bible and what not. That sounds like a cult to me.

    No, but I had an opportunity to work for what I believe was mob related business. I politely declined the offer.

  • Besides Jehovahs Witnesses showing up at my door every sunday for no reason....no. I've never been approached by one and oddly I would find it cool if I was.

  • Why, yes I have. But the first rule states I can't talk about it.

    And the second rule states I can't talk about it.

    Im very annoyed by Jehovahs Witnesses im Christian so i mostly just smack the phone if they call or stand before the door their rules are way to hard for me even to consider whatever they have to say..

    Never really been approached by any know cult members, but Jehovah's witnesses are always at my door, usually three at a time. One of my friends moms is one, and one said that my family is a real challenge. My father can back them into a corner challenging them about the bible. its fun!

    Denomination, cult, religion, superstition...
    They are all the same and they are all equally justified in their delusions.
    Just because more people believe a story doesn't make it right. Evidence, cynicism and an open review process make a theory right

    When I was in Vegas when I was a kid some guy tried to drug my sister and I with lsd. Luckily my mom took it away before we put it on our skin and got us the hell out of there. True story.

    My ex bf dated this girl who was in a cult. They met when she recruited him. She was really hot. Anyway the cult thing was really weird from what I know about it. I was never approached by anyone in a cult.

    I've seen some Scientologists in London recruiting, but I avoided them.

      the Mormon faith is a denomination not a cult

      • That's debatable (the cult aspect). Many people see it as a cult. It's definitely not a Christian denomination, although it claims to be.

  • I was approached once that I can remember by some people in my hometown while I was on the street-so called "Moonies"they used to be called The 'Reverend'Sun yung Moon's Unification Church-First they asked me if I was interested in helping them in cleaning the street of litter as they said they did so as voluenteers, then they asked me if I wanted to go over their place for dinnerwhere they lived.I never accepted though,makes me wonder if the house they claimed to live in is still there.

    When someone takes time out of their busy schedules to come to my door to do a work that they are not payed to do, I respectfully listen to what they have to say, even if they are a cult.
