Russia: Religious freedom threatened

The definition of a destructive religious cult is like alcoholism-if booze controls you instead of the other way around you are an alcoholic.

A cult does not require any set number of leaders, only the inerrant belief that they are the ONLY TRUE RELIGION. Nothing else matters once that ego kicks in and messes with their heads. Once that engages, it usually takes a life-changing event or change of circumstances to get them to reconsider their beliefs
Religion can be benign then there are hard core Fundy groups that want to rule & control you like hard core alcoholism.
The Watchtower society as an example is not benevolent and won’t let you leave their organization in peace.

If they try to ruin your reputation and break up your family for trying to get out then they are a cult!
Whenever you surrender your logic and reason to anyone who asks you to believe something on “faith” and to trust them because they know better and to please donate generously, it’s a cult. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck….
