I don’t blame him so much as the parents. I really feel they cared more about getting money from TLC and those girls. Plus you gotta understand how Gothardists work. . Bill Gothard teaches that girls and women are at fault for being molested. I’m shocked she’s coming forward now but I’m trilled.
“Bill Gothard teaches that girls and women are at fault for being molested.”
I’ve seen others make that comment here, but I’ve never seen a source for it. Gothard certainly has a lot of unbiblical teachings, particularly regarding women, so it could well be true, but how do you know it’s true?
I want to be very clear: I don’t support Bill Gothard at all. Over the years I’ve known a number of people who got caught up in the Gothard stuff, particularly in the 80’s. My family moved our membership from a Southern Baptist Church we loved after a significant group of members got caught up with Gothard and split our congregation. I have warned my wife and daughters about the Duggars for a long time specifically because of my reservations about Gothard.
I totally agree.
