Hobby Lobby Funds the Gothard/Duggar Christian Counseling Homeschool Program

Christian Counseling and Homeschool Program Embraced By Duggars Funded By Hobby Lobby

Whatever Gothard’s particular sexual dysfunction toward women and young girls, and his belief they are subject to the will of Christian men, it certainly appeals to Hobby Lobby’s founder David Green. Green’s family sold Gothard a 2,250-acre campus in Big Sandy, Texas, complete with a landing strip and aircraft hangar for $10. The Green’s also gave Gothard a 529,717-square-foot building in Little Rock, Arkansas and a campus in New Zealand. In fact, according to a report, “No-one was more instrumental to Gothard’s now-controversial ministry than the Green family,” and this was long before Hobby Lobby went to the Supreme Court to gain religious control over women’s reproductive health choices.

Just when it seems that this sordid affair cannot get any worse, more revelations arise that make one wonder how the Duggars, Bill Gothard, or Hobby Lobby’s Greens can live with themselves. The Hobby Lobby owners were well-aware of the Gothard counseling and homeschooling program to puts women in servitude roles in the home and society, and the Duggars were aware they were teaching their son that his actions were his sisters’ fault. It is all founded on biblical teaching that women are the root of man’s fall from grace, and that a man can garner complete forgiveness for the most sexually deviant and heinous acts simply by asking Jesus’ forgiveness and getting close to god. For the victims, as long as Jim Bob Duggar was as righteous as he says he was, then the girls are to blame and according to Gothard’s teachings they were no doubt shamed mercilessly according to the scripture-based Institute in Basic Life Principles that Hobby Lobby’s owners fully support and heavily fund.
