Hmm - interestingly the INFORM website frequently mentions the word 'cult.' Yet in an email from one of the INFORM research assistants she said "we prefer not to use the word 'cult' because of its negative implications."

So on one hand they promote the use of the word 'cult' even in their aims and objectives, yet in correspondance they state that they don't like using the word.

Now THAT is some inconsistency.

S_Byers666:

Barker's Web site probably uses the word frequently so that it will be picked up by search engines looking for the word "cult."
