There are a few people at work who belong to very strange (to me) non-denominational Protestantism. Five people (about half those that work directly with me and one is the boss) go to these guitar thrashing + screaming churches, when they pray it looks like a Nazi rally with their right arms stretched up and out. They appear as if they are on drugs but aren’t, they are evasive and/or indecisive, they do bout 10% of the work they are supposed to do, they present as little lambs but underneath are vicious.

I haven’t known anything like this before, oh and mention the Crucifix and they you get an evil eye.

I think I miss working with atheists.

I’m not attacking all protestants but these two bizarre churches which are linked to each other and I don’t like being in their company.

So when does Christianity become a cult?

No offence to anyone who reads this, I can be crazy sometimes but they appear brainwashed.

Thanks.
 
Weren’t the Jewish Christians regarded as a cult in the beginning? My personal opinion is that mainly new religions are considered cults by members of more established religions until the former become more established in numbers of adherents and the religions’ gradual development of their beliefs, values, and practices. Of course some will always view certain religions as cults regardless of their age.

Cult? Maybe when they start blindly obeying their pastors instead of Jesus to the point where their pastors become their saviors instead.
 
They are also obsessed with certain people on the internet, very popular ones, I hear the same names again and again. Some other protestants at work say those people are dangerous.

I say internet, they have tv programs, cd’s and books too.
 
Well, define cult.

Because of course Christianity is a cult. All religions are. That’s what the word means, from the Laint cultus, to worship.
 
Agree with this point. There are legit cults out there. Red flags are they discourage you from befriending people outside their group, they have some systematic way that their leader gains most of your money, and they pressure you to not be and do things that make you unique for fear that you will no longer be part of their circle. God made us all unique humans and cults go against that by encouraging us to be coformed to human than God. Also if they use a separate Bible that is solely used by their group and discourage other translations I would be concerned
