Cults such as Heaven's Gate, the Branch Davidians, Peoples' Temple have certain characteristics. But is it possible that some evangelical churches with biblical doctrine have similar characteristics as full blown cults? What are those characteristics and how strongly do they make their presence known? This project seeks to examine if churches that have evangelical doctrine can be similar to cults despite their underpinnings of biblical truth. Results from thirteen unhealthy churches represented by thirty former members are examined through the use of a descriptive survey. The descriptive survey's results are examined so that useful recommendations could be made to help churches recover from cultish conditions or to prevent churches from becoming cult-like.
