There are two ways a movement or organization can be labeled a cult -- sociologically and theologically. Sociologically a movement may be considered a cult if it has some of these characteristics: it is authoritarian; has a single, charismatic leader; forbids followers to read critical materials; has followers eschew friends and relatives; recognizes the authority of sacred texts unique to the group; or embraces highly esoteric interpretations of texts.
From a Christian perspective a movement is considered theologically cultic if it differs from essential biblical doctrines.
Quiverfull does not qualify as a cult from either perspective but I do believe it is an unhealthy movement with an errant message and a misplaced emphasis.

If you can explain the text I have placed here, then you can explain to me Isa. A.s. for you have been given knowledge vast beyond your imagination. It came from Allah SWT not you!
Every nano second we are moving this kind of text over 1 billion times a nano second! Just by hitting "Submit". Allah does have order have a great look!
