Some local UPC churches are, in my opinion, cults, but there are other local churches (UPC or other OP types and many non OP) that are cults. This is my opinion.

Many NFL teams operate under irrational and controlling methods. many do not.

Many posters operate under irrational and illogical ideas which they post on a regular basis.

This may be true, but when the economy has taken the hit it has, it eventually impacts all of us.

The thread is about cults and If you want to confess, that is fine.

The organization is just not involved enough in the day-to-day functioning and operations of the local church to be called a "cult" itself.

Really? That's odd because John Sailhamer believes the universe is billions of years old and that a day in Genesis 1 is a 24 hour period.

While I would acknowledge the thread is about cults, you must understand that Wal-mart has used their power of dominant market-share to influence prices which have put several good companies out of business. It's not as simple as getting great deals at the store.
