I see.


I don't think it's pejorative. From the American Heritage Dictionary:

Cult:
(1) A system of religious worship and ritual;
(2) A religion or sect considered extremist or false;
(3a) Obsessive devotion to a person or principle;
(3b) the object of such devotion. (Derived from the Latin word "cultus" meaning "to worship".
So you believe all uses of the above apply and you don't consider (2) or (3a) as pejorative. That's interesting.

Now I noted you refer to Mormonism as: a mild extremism, a bit bizarre and it screws with people's minds a bit. You then quote a former Mormon who says they isolate followers, use mind control and see outsiders as evil.

(I don't think Mormonsim has ever renounced the principle of polygamy or blood atonement so this would fall into the really extreme camp of cults I take it)

You appear pretty hostile.


Are we done?
It's up to you. Do you feel Mormonism has been properly labeled and marginalized?
