Hey, I know of little cults here in Kentucky, were I have family members that have found themselves in cults of Independent Baptist churches. And it's only right that others are told of those cults. And very important, even more so, that children are kept from them. Same with the cult of Nee & Lee. If it walks like a cult, and talks like a cult, and acts like a cult, it's a cult. The local church earned the honor of being called a cult by the law suits they brought against those that branded them a cult.

That's what I was talking about awareness -- once you call the LC a cult, you see cults everywhere you look, and the word loses all meaning, because every Christian/Church you now meet is also a cult.
