Couldn’t agree more.
30-35 years ago I knew a number of people who got caught up in Gothard’s special brand of legalism. People who aren’t Bereans aren’t likely to be discerning. I’d like to know what has happened to some of those families.
I recall those basic youth conflicts seminars from when I was in a christian high school.
What put me off them was that there was a directive to the seminar goers not to disclose what was said in the seminars.
Needless to say, I never went to any of them.
It was after school for Monday through Friday, and all day Saturday.
