Let me just say that I was in the LC for decades and didn't have a remote handle on what the controversies surrounding "us" were. It was only after I started reading the poisonous materials and actually digging into the arguments that I was surprised to find out what "we" believed was unusual for some and that others strongly didn't believe it. Most LC members just know "outsiders are against us, the one true move of God" and don't get into the nitty gritty. If StG has been out of the LC for a while, it's not strange to me that he wouldn't know what the main arguments are.

I would answer by saying that the four arguments (one of them being the becoming God thing) laid out in the open letter and addressed in the CRI journal do seem to be the primary objections outsiders have. But I think former insiders who have a much fuller landscape of what is taught and how things are commonly understood would add many other theological issues to the mix as to why the LC's are a cult.

The LC's qualify as a cult both socially as well as theologically, unfortunately.
