[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm just telling you what some of the connotative and legal distinctions ARE, not what they ought to be.

You'll see the same thing here, when Christians try to protect their kids from indoctrination or proselytization or, excuse me, recruitment by Scientologists or Hare Krishnas("But that's a cult!") or Gay Christan Ministries.

You’re wandering off into the thickets of child recruitment, etc.

The question was the meaning or a common English word and it’s distortion.
