[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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..[/quote]

Sorry not college, I meant high school. There was a different but similar organization in college. I honestly had no idea Young Life was still around. [/quote]

The college version is Campus Crusades for Christ.

This thread is super interesting because I have never heard Young Life referred to as a cult at all.
I had friends who attended YL in high school and liked it but my parents didnt want me to because it wasn’t connected with any church at all and they preferred that we just did youth group at our own church. I didn’t find that my friends who did it turned out cult-y or particularly off the deep end fanatics or anything. They definitely taught following Jesus and love one another with a side of “don’t engage in activity that tempts your brother or sister” and I guess that could come off judgy or misogynistic if you didn’t already think that way, but you’d kind of have to work hard to interpret that as a cult.
