Pardon my asking. I have a dance friend that invited me to their event at their church. It is a half hour dance show, then a half hour dance lesson, then general dancing till midnight.
This sounded okay. . . but . . .
Then...
My friend requested that I do not wear a short skirt, do not wear "see-through" clothes, and do not wear a low-cut neckline.

I'm afraid that I do not know much about Mormons.
What do you think?

Cult has a broad array of meanings, from harmless to dangerous depending on the context, or era, in which it is being used.
A more descriptive term is 'high control group'.
My friend requested that I do not wear a short skirt,
That sounds like control to me. What do you think?
Cheers

Everything is a cult. Christianity is a cult of Jewery.
Yup. I felt like they were trying to control me.

I think so.. Im reading a book right now about the FLDS which are more extreme in many ways but they are a branch off Mormonism. Definetely a dangerous cult.
Mormons restrict many areas of life just as Witnesses do. No coffee or warm beverages, no alcohol, dress and grooming etc.

They're not just a CULT; they're a CULT .
Refreshments at the dance will be lousy.
Mormons are not allowed to drink coffee, or coke, or tea.
You know it's a CULT because they will serve Kool-aide!
