By now most Americans are aware of the “Shiny, Happy People” documentary posted on Amazon Prime for the last several months, attacking the Duggars, IBLP, and Bill specifically.

Jinger: God’s Choice or Mine
Christianity Today published a recent article in review of Jinger’s book. There is the usual broad brush acceptance of moral sin for Bill and direct link with Josh Duggar, her brother.

Three Plaintiffs Chime In
The Josh Duggar legal troubles have focused a spotlight on the Duggars in general and also on Bill in recent days. In response to an inquiry by NBC, IBLP issued a statement (https://iblp.org/news/response-media-inquiry). Three ringleaders of the failed 4 year, $8.5 million, 17 plaintiff lawsuit against Gothard and IBLP, feeling a bit of wind at […]
When Is a Culture a Cult?
From time to time some have alleged that Bill Gothard and his ministries, including IBLP and ATI, constitute a “cult”. In 2017 when a young high school student needed a topic for a video he had to produce for a class assignment, he focused on IBLP and entitled his film, “The Cult Next Door”. It […]
