People want to talk about brainwashed, they need to talk about those 2 groups.

And I probably wouldn't argue about Mormons or JWs as their doctrine is quite radically different.
I was thinking more along the lines though of different denominations and groups within the salvation through accepting Christ as Lord groups.
A good example is Pat Robertson.. Some would say a great man and a great leader. Yet others would point to his many failed prophecies and say he's a false prophet. But if he is a false prophet, then that's millions of his followers who would say they are Christians but aren't?
Or the whole Faith movement a while back, some called it a cult while others believed it was the next great revelation.
Some groups believe the Bible should be taken 100% literally, others believe it is inspired but not literal. The first would probably say the latter are all deceived. That's the kind of thing I'm talking about.
