And:
"It’s a battlefield that mirrored the same sort of power that was asserted by figures like Gothard over families, and in turn, by some political figures trained by him, over a nation."

At the very heart of the unsavory Duggar story is child abuse fostered by religious ideologues. As Stankorb says,
"It’s wrenching to know how the impulse to protect and care for children was so twisted by systems that made the home a battlefield."

Noting that multiple members of the Arkansas Duggar family, noted for its outspoken role in the Religious right, have now been arrested in child abuse charges, Sarah Stankorb looks at the "culture of warped power" that lies behind the Duggar story.
The Duggars are well known to follow and promote the abusive child-rearing practices of white evangelical leader Bill Gothard.

"Kendra Duggar’s arrest came days after her husband, Joseph Duggar, was arrested on charges in Florida for lewd and lascivious behavior against a child under 12. He is accused of molesting a girl when she was nine years old during a family trip to Panama City Beach."
By the way, In 2014, Michelle Duggar released robocalls warning that LGBTQ people pose a danger to children.

New Zealand report today. Australia, Canada, US, Ireland, France etc. before that.
Can we agree now, going forward, that giving priests and pastors access to or control over vulnerable children is a dangerously misguided idea?

In case anyone wonders why I care about the #Duggars and #quiverfull people: these policies in states like Texas are directly related to the #Dominionist "Joshua Generation" and the evangelical plan to take over politics. #rightwingextremism #antiabortionlaws #authoritarianism #AmericanTaliban https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-1-2023

Watching the Duggar show, finally. Mostly vindicating because I've known what this shit was really about for a very long time. But also infuriating, esp when I saw Michelle Duggar deliver her 19th by c-section and have a miscarriage in her 20th pregnancy. Good thing nobody interfered with her medical care in those instances! #Duggars #shinyhappypeople #quiverfulls #dominionists

Oh. My. God.
I’ve had it with these folks and their mean babble-based ignorance.

This #racist jerk wants to erase the legacy of the people who lived and resisted under the brutal conditions of #slavery and are an essential part of the #American narrative. Their stories, their struggles, and their triumphs must not be forgotten or misrepresented by the likes of Minister Keller.

Kristn du Mez notes that Amazon Prime's searching exposé of the Duggar family and Gothard's IBLP "Shiny Happy People" reached more viewers in its first 9 days than any Amazon docuseries. It also brought more new subscribers than any previous Amazon docuseries, more than 60% of those women, many in the 18-34 age demographic.

"Because he spoke to the most motivated and dedicated cohort of evangelicals in America, his teachings spread deep into American churches. Gothard’s concepts became part of the fabric of evangelical life even for people who’d never heard of the Basic Seminar."
We'd like to think that this is an extreme, exotic strand of US Christianity, with its demand that women submit to men and its rigid gender roles. But it's far more normative than we want to see.

David French on Bill Gothard's Institute for Basic Life Principles, central to the Duggar family story now on display in "Shiny Happy People":
"Gothard’s teaching didn’t reach just the millions of Christians he claims have attended his seminars."

Have you seen the #shinyhappypeople docuseries exposing the #Duggars & the #IBLP #Gothard #cult? It is important because it exposes #conservative #evangelical #christianity in the #USA and how long plans have been in motion to basically take over all levels of government - but especially the #scotus . Here’s my B4 & after fundie, Gothardesque pic. #iGotOut

Relatable quote from #ShinyHappyPeople that doesn’t just apply to fundamentalism and cults.
“We had this power the entire time over the people who were hurting us. It turns out, as much as they tried to control us, we were ultimately what they most feared, and all we had to do was talk.”

The reason fundamentalist fathers are so restrictive and protective of their daughters is because they’re afraid other men will treat their daughters the same way they have treated other women.

CW: Religion and cult discussion.
We watched all four episodes of a new documentary series on Amazon Prime last night called “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets”, and it was pretty amazing. The parents in that family are awful, but the leaders of the cult they are members of are pure evil. Their disciples have infiltrated “mainstream” churches, and have gotten people into elected positions of power, with the sole intention of spreading their evil dogma.

6. Those who respond, "Well, they have a right to their peculiar religious beliefs," spectacularly miss the point. The point is that they intend to impose these beliefs on you and me by law, and they are working tirelessly to achieve that goal.
7. Spot the people of color in the footage of IBLP gatherings or young IBLP folks being groomed for political power. I challenge you to find them in any of that footage.

5. The cornerstone of the movement, its raison d'être: the absolute unquestioned right of men, straight ones, to own, control, command, the absolute obligation of women and everyone else to submit and obey.
One reason this movement continues to have such sway in US society is that many of us who are not part of that cultic world unquestioningly accept these cultural presuppositions based on gender stereotypes.

This female role is not only modeled: it's imposed by force on girls and young women, through disciplinary means, with older women as the enforcers.
And younger women just keep flocking to the movement, asking to be abused by men. Why?

4. One of the most stomach-churning aspects of the series is watching women in the IBLP network groom girls to be the kind of women the men leading the movement want: utterly submissive, hanging on men's every word, uttering mindless nothings in litte-girly voices, dressing in infantilizing outfits to please male eyes.

3. I cannot forget: at the very same time that Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar and their son Josh were making political hay by attacking LGBTQ people as a threat to children, Josh was downloading child pornography and had molested his own younger sisters -- and Jim Bob and Michelle knew and hid all of this.
Who's the real threat to children?

2. Discovery made the Duggars, hand-picked and gave them iconic status. Why?
Of all the families Discovery could have chosen to hold up as iconic, why the Duggars -- a right-wing Republican white Christian fundamentalist family in the small-town South? These are the people the media constantly chide us for not listening to in the Trump era. But there they are front and center on Discovery for years before Trump….

Thoughts on watching the Duggars exposé series "Shiny Happy People":
1. Why there's David Zaslav, now in the news as an éminence grise behind Chris Licht at CNN, as CNN tries rebranding itself as the alternative FOX. There's David Zaslav, in the thick of things as the Duggars vault to fame on the Discovery network, of which he's CEO.
What's that about, the Zaslav link to both of these stories?

When I was 13, I spent several months living with a family that was part of the same organization the #Duggars were. With the release of #ShinyHappyPeople, it’s been fascinating to see the world at large see what I learned then.
