RE: Cult?

Comment comment by ldsudduth on 22 February 2008

yup..I agree..this is a 'club'..not a cult.

To misquote the Breakfast Club:

"It's a social club...demented and sad...but social.".

They're no more a cult than the gaming club I belonged to in college, or the sci-fi club I belonged to that has an annual convention every year.

Rev. Jim Jones...Elizabeth Clare Prophet..Rev. Sun Myung Moon--those are 'typically defined' cults. Draw what you will from them; I don't personally like that word (and I'm one of the resident Evangelical Christians here). Rather, I prefer to say that they have 'beliefs different from my own'. Even Brandon here (sorry to take your name in vain dude) belongs to a group typically called a 'cult' by many.
