Are you still paying for your son's college? Health benefits? Cell phone? Why?
Cut them off. Period. Once they get into this cult - they shouldn't be supported. Continuing to feed their insanity is part of the problem. Sure, it hurts - but tough love is a thing that needs to come back. If the cult member can't support themselves, there's a big chance they'll snap out of it. All these parents supplying daily life needs are just feeding the cult addiction.

Cutting off your children financially when they need it most does not work as well as one might hope. Worst case scenario from your perspective, they already have contingency plans ready to put into action, and that will be the last you ever hear from them. Best case for you, you’re now in the position of continually sabotaging their life out of “love” (forcing them to be dependent upon you), reducing them to praying that you suffer and die behind their fake smiles, without an ounce of self-awareness on your part how psychotic that looks to anyone who doesn’t see children as possessions. Anything in between depends on the situational specifics, but it’s going to be an ugly mess for everyone involved, and isn’t likely to turn out well for you.
I will also point out that, in the case of actual cults, this will result in “see, they are tainted by the world’s evil! cut off all ties and we will support you fully!” and then you’ve completely lost them.
