Why is LC a cult and RC, Orthodox, Anglican and Lutheran not cults?

Because those groups don't practice mind control.
They allow members to think for themselves.
They don't isolate their members.
They don't try to restrict their members to only reading their materials.
They don't put pressure on members to attend an inordinate number of meetings and conferences.
They don't declare churches as "rogue" because they don't practice "one publication."
They don't declare any church a false church if it doesn't line up with their headquarters.
They are open the public debate about their beliefs, practices and history.
They don't hide their history.
They don't assassinate the characters of those who publicly question them
They don't tell members that if they leave their movement they are leaving "God's best" or suggest that God will judge them for doing so.
They no longer push the teaching that they are the "one true church."
