A group where the leaders wear robes and crowns, call themselves kings, are fearful of solar eclipses and south facing entrances, advocates tearing down all existing buildings in the entire world and rebuilding all structures by their standards, tout astrology and Hindu rituals and sacrifices as being science, celebrates all Hindu holidays and religious celebrations - only a TM True Believer would say this is not a cult. This is really the point. Presented with the description above of the TM organization (which strikes me as provably accurate), ONLY a TM True Believer would say that it is not a cult. The organization's "normal" behavior just *screams* cult. You'd have to be pretty firmly stuck inside that organization's mindset not to have noticed. Just sayin'...
