Cult? Religion? Yesterday's cults are tomorrows established religions. Calvinists used to have a fiery zeal, condemining everything in their path. Now, they're as obring as church mice. Lutherans; once loudly declaimed against the Catholic Church. Now, who knows the difference between them. Radical yesterday, conventional tomorrow. Yawn.
As for Jehovah's Witnesses being decribed in one Wikipedia entry as "a new Christian movement": Not bad being described as "new" when the Watchtower Society was first incorporated in 1876.
