    IIRC Rabbi David Gottlieb emphasized aspects of deception and cooercion as determining factors of what we would call a cult.

    There is also something called the BITE model of authoritarian control, which attriubutes the distinction to degrees of types of control that the group exerts on it;s members, Behaviour control, Information control, Though contol and Emotional control. I think there are other models as well.
