She mentioned it because he advocates for home schooling so that outside influences can't "poison their minds". He has railed against conventional education for years saying evolution, biology and paleontology are devious ideas by deviant people. He wants his flock to be isolated and thus easily manipulated. That is…

but he DOES advocate homeschooling. to keep the chill'run pure of those nasty nasty public schools teaching masturbation, dontcha know!

The Duggars have built much of their homeschooling teachings around Gothard's seminars, they are featured prominently on the IPBL website and they promote his seminars through their website.The Duggars are public figures thanks to their celebrity they pretty much created for themselves based around an image that…

How long until the pastor himself is checking each woman personally to see whether they deserve these "grave consequences"?

Yeah I would check for The Lord's Webcams hidden underneath the pews before I sat down, lest Pornhub gets flooded with upskirt videos like "Kenya See Her Cooch?"

Just wait until they start menstruating all over the church floor. Then the no underwear rule will magically disappear.

Well, heaven forbid we give men sex for free! Better make him pay for it, like with a cheeseburger combo meal or a Tiffany engagement ring or $300 a night.

Do not buy this woman's book to hate read.

Dear Susan,
