What is the true definition of a Cult?

cult 'kəlt\ n, often attrib, [F & L; F culte, fr. L cultus care, adoration, fr. colere to cultivate — more at wheel] (1617)1 : formal religious veneration : worship2 : a system of religious beliefs and ritual ; also: its body of adherents cult n1 syn: religion 1, creed, faith, persuasion2 syn: religion 2, church, communion, connection, creed, denomination, faith, persuasion, sect. Modern day media have corrupted the meaning of the word 'Cult'.

Modern day Cults follow a pattern:

They look for weak-minded people.
They tell followers to ignore family and friends.
They refuse to offer proof of their claims.
They tell followers "Don't question, have blind faith".
They tell followers to stop watching news and stop researching.
They isolate their followers from their loved ones.

Flock of Lord RayEl:

REJECT weak-minded people.
INSIST that followers fully inform and discuss with family, friends, and strangers of what they learn.
ALWAYS provide verifiable proof of our claims.
DEMAND that people verify our claims so that their faith is not "blind", but instead based on facts.
REQUIRE followers to stay fully informed of world events as they unfold.
And we ALWAYS tell people going to Baja or Israel "Stay in contact with your loved ones online/phone/video, or invite them to visit and/or stay with you".

Have a Blessed Day

According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary the term "cult" can also mean the following:

a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (such as a film or book) criticizing how the media promotes the cult of celebrity; especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
b : the object of such devotion
c : a usually small group of people characterized by such devotion the singer's cult of fans The film has a cult following.

So technically, anyone on a baseball team, or a reading club, or a fanbase for an actor, etc, are all labeled as being apart of a "cult". I think the term has gained a lot of negative attention due to very specific instances of dangerous groups that lead to very harmful and deadly outcomes. The term has been tainted, and therefore people just assume a bad thing when it comes to that term, where in most cases it's a gathering of people for a specific idea or subject.
