One thing I found out about JPUSA in the past 2 weeks is that there are many Christian counter-cult ministries that do NOT consider JPUSA a cult!
These ministries define cults along purely theological lines, meaning, if a group does not adhere to any belief that is contrary to the Bible, then that group is NOT a cult. There are many who say that since JPUSA does not adhere to non-Biblical beliefs it is not a cult.
That, my friends, is a steaming pile of crap.
How on earth can these "experts" ignore the RAPES and other CRIMES that have gone on at J-PUKE-A for nearly 4 decades?!! How can they ignore the social reengineering that has gone on within "families" there, and the inbred/blood-relative leadership that has covered up those crimes for nearly 4 decades?!
One such group of deluded individuals who ascribe to such lunacy are many of those who are a part of a Christian counter-cult umbrella group whose site is here: [
www.emnr.org]
The vice-president of this org is Eric Pement , a former member of .......... wait for it.............JPUSA! Several of the officers and members of this group have also spoken at JPUSA's (now defunct) Cornerstone Festival.
IMO, the "theological" definition of a cult is a handy way for a few misinformed Christians to avoid having to explain the egg on their face, since no "cult expert" would want to explain why they have associated with a cult.
