I feel like there are minimum two definitions of cult, that being a high controll group like say jones town and to a lesser but still damaging extent seventh day adventists for example and just a smaller religious grouping.
I apologize for misunderstanding. Can you provide a source or reasoning why you think the BITE classification itself was intended to make “cult” a bad word?

This place would 100% meet the BITE standard of cult classification.
Thats what I was thinking of but couldnt remember the name, maybe I need to watch more telltale content again.

Yes, because controlling a group’s behavior, information access, thoughts, and emotions is completely acceptable. Autonomy be damned.

That’s an interesting and informative response. I’ll be sure to preface “cult” with “abusive cult” next time. Thanks!
