They are a Christian sect that acts like a cult but isn't because all they really need to do is stop acting like a cult? Is that what you are saying?
A cult is defined as having religious devotion to a man and sinister teachings or practices. The devotion to WL and WN as the MOTA is religious devotion to a man. The teaching concerning the ground of the church is the basis to segregate themselves from the rest of the Body of Christ. That is a sinister teaching.
So then can the Local church really "stop" the religious devotion to WL and WN and can they drop the divisive "ground of the church" teaching?
