You make some good points, but honestly, I’ve never seen them act all that wholesome. They preach it, and tell everybody how modest they are, but they talk about sex a LOT in front of their kids.
For me, any of their claims that they’re wholesome went right down the drain when I saw the golf course video of the father grinding into the mother in front of his daughter and her fiancee, telling the kids they couldn’t do that because they weren’t married.
I think they’re messed up.
That would kind of fit with an overly rigid Gothard mindset. If you can Obey The Rules, you can do things that are way outside the spirit of the rules, and even worse you can think you don’t need God’s help to keep doing better and better.
Say what?
I did not even know who these folks were till now but I heard my 12 year old boy watches them
He’s disillusioned and Annette has sorta blown it off with vague non specific synopsis To him hoping he won’t dig deep
Myself I watch more high minded reality like Southern Charm or Housewives..lol
I don’t know the details of the abuse but it sounds rough
