A long thread on the Cult Education forum posts information from ex-members of the John MacArthur church. The church uses many mind-control techniques. Members are taught that they belong to a spiritual elite and are "haughty and judgemental of people outside the fellowship." Questioning, doubt, and dissent are discouraged and punished. There are multiple reports of shunning, shaming, and physical attacks for those who challenge John MacArthur's domination. At the center of the mind-control is Nouthetic Counseling. One ex-member described this as like being on a treadmill. You can never be good enough. Solve one problem and they'll discover another. Everything is your fault. The New York Times for May 20, 1985, reported on the suicide of a Nouthetic Counseling victim. Several people who became familiar with Nouthetic Counseling say it resembles L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics and Scientology. The Watch Unto Prayer site documents the most disturbing aspects of the mind-control. Young people are subjected to bizarre, humiliating, and degrading experiences. These leave them amenable to psychological enslavement. Occultists know these techniques and call the resultant controlling entity an egregore.

I'm not the biggest fan of John MacArthur (mostly because I'm not a Calvinist.. nothing against him personally), but he's hardly cultish. He's the opposite, and does a lot to inform on cults. All in all, mostly orthodox in the Protestant sense.
