Which, to me, can only mean that it's willful deception.

For a long time, the DCP and others have simply denied or refused to acknowledge a lot of what has been said about the LC. With the ever increasing audience that social media is reaching, that is no longer a viable strategy.
Recently it seems there's been a bit of a pivot. All the sudden their line of reasoning has become "well we aren't perfect, so don't worry about our mistakes." But that is an even bigger deflection, because the issue has never been the simple fact that mistakes were made.
So whatever is really going on in the LC, it's enough for even ex-members to call it a cult. It's not just outsiders with no affiliation to the LC, it's people who were once members who are readily categorizing it that way. When all the DCP is willing to say is that mistakes have been made, doesn't do anything to address what people are saying about the LC.
