A religious group, usually
small, whose practices and beliefs are viewed by the majority as bizarre and abnormal. Cults hold an inordinate amount of control over their members, are usually led by a charismatic leader, and often have a strict
set of
rules which severely limits members and what they can do with their lives or how they are allowed to spend their time.
The members of the cult all
live on a big compound out in the
country, and they believe that they are the chosen
ones and all who oppose their beliefs are doomed.
