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.
