This:

Sharlet: The Family began with this idea that God does not work through churches but rather through those whom The Family calls the “New Chosen.” They believe they’re chosen by God. They can’t be expected to pray with the rest of us. They need to pray in private with people of equal status.
When you join one of these prayer groups, you give these men veto power over your life, over every aspect of your life. Wives involved with The Family have said, “In my husband’s life, his brothers come first, I come second.”

The absurdity of it made me laugh. My sense of humour is pretty weird though.

These jerks will continue on...until someone sues them root and branch for some ghastly mess perpetrated by one of their members.
