In reply to the discussion: Duggar cult founder plans Kansas ‘retreat’ to set up arranged marriages for teen girls [View all]LibDemAlways
(15,139 posts)5. Thus far the Duggars have somehow
managed to keep 18 of their 19 kids firmly in the fold. The oldest Josh is the molester, porn addict, and philanderer they recently sent away for Bible based therapy. Good luck with that. I hope eventually one of the kids will have the courage to break free and take others with them. As it is, girls are basically the property of their father until he finds and turns them over to a "Godly" young man to secure their future as baby factories. The boys are kept on a short leash, too. It has to be a hellish existence.

She's 100% wrong three words in. The Duggars are Gothardites/ATI, their cult leader is Bill Gothard.

It's a common misunderstanding that Quiverful is a group. It's really not, it's a belief.

Amazing so much insanity can be packed into a single lifetime for these guys.

I was raised under Gothardism. Currently, all my materials are with my therapist.
