If you actually managed to de-convert one good on you, it's a insidious fucking cult. Like somebody said, the difference in a religion and a cult is what happens when you try to leave.
All too true. The actress Lea Remini, a former Scientologist, has been doing an expose series on the American A&E network about the abuses of Scientology. A very scary cult! Just a month ago Remini did a two-hour segment on the JWs and how they practice shunning that destroys families. The two cults have in common exactly what you said.
