What do you know about YoungLife? We are Christian and my teens have talked about wanting to go, but I have some reservations because it doesn't seem like a real church and I would prefer to know the adults my children spend time with. |
It’s both boring and cringey w misogynist undertones but they’re probably not going to get trafficked. |
It's a cult. We would not allow our kids to go to YL. They recruit through kids. |
My understanding is it's a very well-disguised cult, but still a cult. |
Perhaps you're right and it is a cult. But don't be surprised if people from Young Life come on this forum to insult you for saying Young Life is a cult. |
Cult |
The kids in my high school in the 2000s who were in young life were all very performative Christians who got wasted on the weekends. |
My SIL met her spouse at Yl in college and he’s legit not sure if women should have the vote so…. |
Definitely culty |
g Are you stupid? Indoctrination into Christian nationalism This is not hard Bible thumping garbage |
I not the poster you are referring to. However it sounds like you are threatening them? So I will say this loud and clear not only is YL a cult it is hypocritical racist crap that hates women. Fixed it for you, |
Please see the Passion City thread where a poster was insulted repeatedly for suggesting that a non-denominational church could be a cult. |
It's a cult that indoctrinates kids in Christian nationalism. |
That poster suggested that being non-denominational makes a church a cult which is just false. They offered no evidence why that particular church was a cult. |
I had friends who did this in college and it was horribly misogynistic with a lot of weird sexual tension - they all hooked up with each other a lot and not a single one of them turned out to be a particularly successful adult.. |
