We are not a cult!

I thought the writer here did a good job comparing the FAQs of several high control groups. Hopefully this will be useful to someone out there.

Good find, thanks. I think I posted a comparison of the scientology, lds and jw "we're not a cult" ones a while ago, but this was far more thorough. I think the very existence of the "Are you a cult?" question in the FAQ should be sufficient to judge the group to be a cult. It's very unlikely to be a frequently asked question if the group isn't a cult. You don't see catholics or lutherans or whatever spending a lot of time trying to defend against accusations of being a cult, and if they do they're defenses of christianity as a whole, not their own particular brand of it. Cults meanwhile have well exercised defenses and only defend themselves.

Wow. Deborah Layton's observation is a, "chopping onions" moment....
