(#3) L. Ron Hubbard’s Son: Ronald DeWolf

The founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, passed in 1986. His son was born Lafayette Ronald Hubbard Jr., but later changed his name to Ronald DeWolf after rejecting Scientology. He went on to become one of Hubbard's most notable public detractors.

In a 1983 Penthouse interview, DeWolf harshly criticized his father and revealed many sordid details of their personal lives and Scientology's doctrines, though he later disavowed his statements. DeWolf passed in 1991 at the age of 57.
(#15) Anton LaVey's Daughter: Zeena LaVey

Conceived as more of a mockery of Western religion than true Satanism, Anton LaVey's Church of Satan quickly became a thriving cult of personality. Despite being hailed as one of the great modern philosophers by his followers, LaVey was always a showman first and guru second.

LaVey's daughter, Zeena, received constant death threats since the age of 13 and backed away from the spotlight as she grew older. In 2002, she founded the Sethian Liberation Movement, a religious body aimed at allowing people to freely learn magic and to offer assistance to ex-cult members.
(#6) Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s Son: Hyung Jin Moon

Hyung Jin Moon is the youngest of Reverend Sun Myung Moon’s surviving children and is a Harvard theology graduate. He has continued to lead his father's Unification Church, helming the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary.

In 2015, Moon addressed the allegations that his father had sex with six women, or six "Marys," in ritual sexual cleansing ceremonies. He indicates that the rituals happened, and seems to show support for his father's actions.
(#11) Jeffrey Lundgren's Son: Caleb Lundgren

Jeffrey Lundgren began running an offshoot of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. He started preaching out of his home, and after amassing some followers, Lundgren moved everyone to Kirtland, OH, to witness the second coming of Christ. Shortly after the move, he killed a family of five and was brought down by the FBI and ATF.

After his father was arrested and put to death, Caleb Lundgren's life seemingly unraveled. In 2010, he was arrested for throwing his 3-month-old daughter across a room while high on meth, breaking the girl's skull.
(#12) Ervil LeBaron's Daughter: Jacqueline LeBaron

Ervil LeBaron was the leader of a polygamist Mormon cult called the Church of the First Born of the Lamb of God. When members of his church defected, LeBaron started ordering their deaths, as well as the deaths of rival polygamist cult leaders.

LeBaron's kids took after him. Six of his adult children, including Jacqueline LeBaron, were convicted of many of the murders.
(#1) Jim Jones’ Son: Stephan Gandhi Jones

Stephan Gandhi Jones was away at a basketball game in Georgetown when his father, Jim Jones, ordered the Peoples Temple mass suicide in 1978 at a compound in Guyana, dubbed "Jonestown." Reverend Jim Jones gave the order when California Congressman Leo Ryan came to investigate reports of abuse and false imprisonment, only to end up among more than 900 dead (a third of whom were children). Stephan Gandhi Jones was 19.

For many years, Jones struggled with the guilt of survival, his father’s grim legacy, and his own subsequent substance abuse. He sought treatment, and eventually, the father of three settled into a quiet life in California.

"I don’t care what you think of my father," Jones wrote in 2015. "I don’t care what you think of his ancestor or progeny. I am no apologist."
