Great Home Grown American Cults
The major cults:
Scientology
Mormonism
Jehovah’s Witnesses
Christian Science
And what is a cult:
First, there is the theological consideration. How consistent are the group’s beliefs with the basic tenets of the historic Christian faith? This evaluates the eternal significance of such beliefs.
Second, there is the social-psychological consideration. How are power, authority, and control exercised in the group? This evaluates techniques of manipulation and mind control.
Christians care about both of these issues in defining a cult. Sociologists care about the second only.
The major American cults qualify on both tests. Some have more couch jumping than others...
