All religions are cults;or were at one time. Unless you have a sign on your front door indicating your denomination how would they know.Similar to the Jehovah's Witnesses (cult/religion) they are compelled to go door to door to spread the word.This is how they serve their God.Respecting others will make you feel good,there is no right or wrong in religion.

Why go on tv and meet hostility when you have the NYT and CNN on your side setting the agenda?
All the remaining newspapers in the country have been downsized to the point where they don't have national correspondents. The NYT pretty much has a monopoly on the media.
If you've ever read it (which most people won't on principle) you'll note that national television networks pick up their stories, send out a video crew and a reporter and do a tv news version of the same story one-two days later.

That wasn't a comment. Nobody talks like that off the cuff.

What about bigamy?
If they can take you away in bracelets, there's a good chance it's probably wrong.
I think they should bring back the Shakers. They were celibate, so once one went, there was one less, and they made great chairs.
"Hearts to God, Hands to Work," and they didn't ring your doorbell twice a month.
