Re: Wait, It's A Cult?
Lawless pseudo-Christian personality cults: Eastern Lightning (Zhao Weishan); Family of God (David [Moses] Berg); Branch Davidians (David Koresh); Mormon Fundamentalist Polygamy (Warren Jeffs); People's Temple (Jim Jones); Heaven's Gate (Marshall Applewhite).
Law-ful pseudo-Christian personality cults: Jehovah's Witnesses (Charles Taze Russel); Mormons (Joseph Smith); Unification Church (Sun-Myung Moon); Rastafarians (Haile Selassie).
Christian personality cults: LSM LC (Witness Lee); Seventh-Day Adventists (Ellen White); Christian Science (Mary Baker Eddy).
Non-Christian personality cults: Scientology (L Ron Hubbard)
All of the above were dominated by out-size personalities and their personal "revelations". In all cases, the Revelator was the conduit to revealed truth.
