Im trying to point out that any Tom, Donna and Harry can add to the word what ever definition they want. The list is growing. It's incredibly subjective.
By the historical definition of the word, every religious person is a cult member.
This is my 2 cents worth.

My thread offered descriptions of religious cults. You may not like the word, but I guess you'll have to get over it. I'm not changing the word. Reign in the way others have used it, and try to understand the post and maybe even contribute some descriptions of your own.
An average joe on the street is not thinking about the Trinity and Oneness. They will identify bizarre religious practices, those that have shunned society, devout allegiance to a man they hold in an unhealthy view, and they'd call that a cult. So let's think like Average Joe's for a moment. Helpful?
