Maybe Rep. Schuler is concerned that "bible fellowship" does not really describe the organization.

Consider Webster's definition of a cult:
1a. a system of religious worship or ritual
1b. a quasi-religious group, often living in a colony, with a charismatic leader who indoctrinates members with unorthodox or extremist views, practices or beliefs

Quasi-religious? Check.
Charismatic leader? Check.
Extremist views like they have been chosen by God to rule the country? Check.
