"Why is 'Love in Action' so full of shit?"
Here's the answer:
What We're About -> Doctrine
We believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God. It is perfect truth from cover to cover, and it all points to Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. We believe in one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We believe that for the salvation of lost and sinful man, faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and regeneration by the Holy Spirit are essential. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit, by Whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life. We believe in the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life eternal.
We believe the scripture is the final truth and authority concerning all matters of morality, as well as the hope and healing for morality in dilemma. We acknowledge the sinfulness of any sexual act outside of the scriptural context of Holy Matrimony between a man and a woman. We uphold Christ’s offer of redemption and freedom to all who come to Him.

Not just solitary confinement, but for the first 2 days of the program (and possibly longer, depending on the participant's attitude, I suppose), the participant is literally not allowed to speak. To anyone. Including family.

Yerp. And even after that is never allowed to discuss with anyone what goes on in their sessions, which to me = distinctly culty, all snark about the socks aside.
So, did Jesus wear socks with his sandals?

I'm not saying they do enough good stuff to balance out that program.
