Though I would never join the group, if what is said about them is true...
They are a group that accepts people in of their own free will and allows them to leave of their own free will.
I do not agree with some of their theology but from what I was reading they seem harmless. Not all cult groups are that way and no matter what group of any kind a person joins up with... they should make their choices with an open mind.

Here is the site author's comment...

Author's comments:

The Brethren is a secretive group of very dedicated believers about which little is known. Many of the factors found in destructive cults are missing in this group. We would identify them as a high-demand but benign Christian group. Membership requires almost total personal commitment. They are attempting to live a simple life, free of encumbrances, avoiding sin and seeking after righteousness. They feel that the route to a close relationship with God is to simulate the experiences of Jesus' original disciples.
