Is cult too strong a word to describe Mormonism?

LDS Church: Name Removal Instructions from the Mormon Church

Warning: If you live with people who are members (parents, a spouse, siblings or a roommate), they will almost certainly be told about your resignation. If family members live in the same ward or stake that you do, they will probably hear about your resignation. Getting Started
