Gothard TEACHES that victims of sexual assault are partly responsible for their assault (what did they DO to arouse their assailant?)
Might want to find out THE TRUTH about things, instead of what you have heard from biased sources.
Here's the TRUTH: the Duggars are adherents of the Advanced Training Institute, a Bible-based homeschooling program run by Bill Gothard.
Although Gothard was forced to resign as the head of the Advanced Training Institute due to the accusations, the Duggars apparently still follow the organizations teaching plans, which include lessons on how to deal with sexual abuse in the home.
ATIs Counseling Seminar curriculum also includes a handout on Counseling Sexual Abuse, which examines the many ways that a victim could have brought abuse on him or herself by defrauding God: Did you dress immodestly? Were you, perhaps, associating with evil friends? You should consider whether youre guilty and apologize to God.
Here is a page from that handout. Read it and weep for the girls brought up in this cult.

Yup, that's what you get for inviting that dungaree wearing, short non-home-permed hair having, non-Gothardist hussy cousin Amy coming by and tempting that wholesome Josh.
What other outlet could he possibly have?
