Has anyone ever nearly had their life ruined by a cult?

So many people are recruiting people and not realising the damage they do. I keep seeing them on the streets jahovas witnesses, fellowship of friends, Mormons, Scientologist. Just a few days ago I accidently walked in the fellowship of friends cult. I thought I might never come out. Seriously they are so annoying.
