Yes, I have. It was called "The Children of God" at the time although they've re-invented themselves many times over the years. This was in Daytona Beach in 1972. They tried to recruit me and when I resisted, using the Bible as evidence against their claims they stopped the conversation, instantly. They all took on a very stubborn and angry expression, gathered their stuff and left.
As the weeks went by, they were on the beach and boardwalk, looking for new recruits all the time. However, if I approached the group, because I knew the person that they were talking to, they would automatically gather their stuff and leave. I found out later, from a guy who they did recruit but left, that they were all instructed NOT to talk to me. I thought it was hilarious at the time....I was only 19.....the cult phenomenon was just starting to hit the news at the time, culminating in the Jimmy Jones killings and I wasn't familiar with it at the time.
The one thing in common with "The Children of God" and guys like the one shown in the video, is their anger and the impossibility of discussing disagreements with them. Both groups refuse to discuss, investigate or fact check. If someone proves them wrong, they get angry and leave and will refuse to accept the evidence that shows their errors. The next time you hear from them, they'll still be using the same arguments that were proven wrong. I've found the same thing with flat earthers, birthers, chemtrail believers, truthers and more. They don't care about the facts. All they know is their fear, their hatred and their loyalty to their cause. If that's not a cult, then it's as close to being one as it can get.
