Indeed a cult. Follow a bunch of useless rules, be compulsive in your behavior. Rules dont apply to leader. Leader highly corrupt and hypocritical
Muslims believe in all Prophets of God including Jesus, Moses, Abraham so it is a religion and not a cult.
Muslims believe that God is one and incomparable and the purpose of existence is to love and serve God
Yes, Islam has no guarantees at all. If Muhammad was wrong, everything was wrong
It is both. 700 Million people think it is a religion. But it is also a cult, because the islam belief has only one man as a token for granted. Muhammad. Most cults have it that they follow one man.

Policies that value protecting the organizations assets and existence more than protecting its members. For example, a child abuse policy that makes it possible for pedophiles to abuse children and roam free without fear of being reported. Too many examples of this to list here but look up Candice Conti and Jose Lopez to get the gist.
False prophecies and slander of members who leave for conscientious reasons.
A Christian adventist off shoot,one of the worlds biggest publishing companies,and landlords..
If you want to live forever go to it, many reasons showing its true worship.
These people follow the watchtower organization blindly. The "elders" lead them, not the bible.

The RCC was a creature of emperor Conatantine the Great to unify the pagans and the christians, constituting a worldy church of idiolatry influence with the strong elements of adoration of humans instead of God (Pope, saints)
Comments:
Marketing genius........this cult nearly ruined my belief in life, luckily I escaped its clutches at 18yrs of age, the last 30yrs of my life have been wonderful. Getting out was the best move I ever made.....
The Roman Catholic Church is not a cult. We do not adore the pope or saints more than god, the only resin we pray to saints is to help us better understand Jesus.

Founded in 1966, the Hare Krishna cult was a fixture in the seventies, with yellow-robed disciples panhandling at every major airport and intersection. The epitome of hippie idealism, Krishna followers believed utterly in the God “Krishna” who was actually a character created for a novel, Mahabaratha.

Joseph Smith.......seriously, like every other cult or religious institution, prey on the weak and indoctrinate whoever is willing to take it onboard.
Not Sure, they saved my life and I am thankful for that. However these callings from God are BS. Many pass down amongst the same families. My reason for leaving

A seriously twisted cult that delivered an evil message that sex with children was natural and right, The Children of God cult was also known as the Family and was founded by David Berg.
Comments:
This teachings of this cult should NOT be taken lightly. The members of this cult have alot of children that suffer emotional issues with their parents that still worship David Berg (a sexually perverted con artist). Alot of cults think they are the answer. You would be stupid and desperate to give them your ego, your time and your money, your lust or your children, yourself and your life. They think they are better than anyone else. And sadly this has never changed!! People that like this group put alot of pressure on the victims and people that try to do things right. THE KIDS that have left this cult are heroic and they themselves should know that. X

Everyone who identifies their religion as atheism is actually taking the first vow of atheology. Anyone who says they have replaced the need for a deity with a trusty inn scientific knowledge is professing. Their membership to the Temple of knowlege under Atheology. That makes it the largest following next to the Catholic church with more converts than any other ricin combined. If someone leaves any religion the overwhelming majority come here. I am the founder and Servant of People, I am John the Intercessor.
