Are you familiar with them?
do you know people in them?
and, if so, do you think they are effective in what they do?

I am familiar with Exodus. I have no personal experience nor do I know anyone who participated in their program. What I can tell you is that Exodus keeps no stats that I can find on successful conversions. Two of it's co-founders (Michael Busses and Gary Cooper) resigned, divorced their wives, and partnered. Two more leaders (Jeremy Marks and Darlene Bogle) also came out as gay. All four issued public apologies. Michael Busses is on record stating he'd never seen Exodus actually change any participant into a hetrosexual.

I make no judgement call here.
