Duggar Guru And Hobby Lobby BFF Bill Gothard Maybe A Rapist, No Big

He's super pals with Mike Huckabee too!
Once upon a time, Josh Duggar was a little boy who had just fingerbanged a bunch of his kinfolk, and because he was very, very bad, his parents sent him off to “therapy” with a “family friend” in Little Rock. That program was the Basic Life Principles Training Center, housed in the old VA hospital, and run by homeschooling guru Bill Gothard of the Institute Of Basic Life Principles. Now how did Gothard get to use that old VA hospital for his “therapy” programs? The Green family, who owns Hobby Lobby, gave it to him, of course! Wasn’t that nice of them? Oh, also he’s friends with Mike Huckabee, so all the grossest people in America are part of this story.
Anyway, Gothard has been accused of doing and covering up a whole lotta sexual abuse in a new lawsuit:
Ten women on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Bill Gothard, who for decades was a major force in the conservative Christian homeschooling movement, charging him and leaders in his ministry with sexual abuse, harassment and cover-up.
. . . .
Golly gosh gee whiz Batman, how shocking that must have been to hear! Because, as we explained many moons ago, Gothard was accused of sexually harassing “more than 30 girls” in 2014, but it was OK because his own organization said he didn’t do anything bad, so no harm, no foul, right? No diddle-fingers here, no siree!
And it must have been REALLY shocking for Gothard to get this news since, as Gawker ‘splains, five of the ten current plaintiffs originally filed suit in October. Now the complaint has been amended, more women have joined the suit and oh look, this is gross:
One of the Jane Doe plaintiffs in the lawsuit alleges that she was raped by her father and other relatives and says she was sold by her father through human trafficking when she was a minor. She said she reported the abuse and trafficking to IBLP staff, which failed to report to authorities. […]
When the Jane Doe plaintiff was at a ministry’s training center, she and Gothard both called her father and Gothard asked him if abuse allegations were true, the lawsuit states. After her father denied the allegations, she said Gothard threatened her. Gothard taught that children were to obey their parents even if they were being sexually abused, the lawsuit states.

All we have are "privileges" that those in authority deem to give us.
Authority is everything. You must obey your authority no matter what because God put them in authority over you and to rebel against them is to rebel against God.
I am so, so glad this is all finally coming to the light.
I was not sexually abused under Gothardism, and for that I am thankful. I was, however, sexually harassed by a teacher while in high school and not believed by my own father, because the teacher is the authority. It should be noted that the teacher was also a follower of Gothard.
I have been severely damaged by my upbringing, but I never forget that many women (and men) had it much, much worse.
Thank you, Niyad, for continuing to be on top of this story.
As I'm sure you can imagine.
