Refuting Cults
A recommended book published by Watchman Fellowship, Inc.
Listed below are Christian ministries specializing in cults. The term "cult" does not imply that the person/persons in a "cult" are evil. I would define a "cult" as any leader claiming equal or greater authority than the Bible, claims to be a Christian and denies the historic doctrines of Biblical Christianity. The Christian ministries listed below all endorse freedom of religion in both thought and expression. While supporting the rights of divergent views, it is also exercising its freedoms (press, speech and religion).

Living Hope Ministries (I recommend the DVD entitled "called to be free" for current or ex-Worldwide Church of God members. It presents--from the leadership and laypeople's own words--the transformation of the organization from a religious cult, founded by Herbert W. Armstrong, to an Evangelical Christian organization.) - Profile of Herbert W. Armstrong--PDF

An article from Tektonics Apologetics Ministries refuting L. Ray Smith's position that there is no "eternal torment". Ray is an annihilationist, universalist, denies the trinity and is a moron. If he does not repent, he will find out that there is a hell.
