Yes, Bill Gothard was a false teacher. I completely agree and have spoken about the deception of this man and his work. I do not know the extent of their involvement with Gothard and never heard them mention Gothard (but I only watched a couple episodes).
I could be wrong, but I am not going to stone a repentant sinner who has moved on successfully with a beautiful family of his own from something he did when he was 14. Am I trying to belittle his sin? No! Sin, especially sexual sin is horrible because it affects more than just the person. But my understanding is that this was not rape, sodomy, or other, but rather touching. Is it horrible? Yes! Should we throw him in prison or execute him? No.

I agree nothing to adjudicate now. Redemption? Absolutely. But he would never hang out with my kids. The Duggar family should be held to account. Not held up as examples to emulate.
