Founder of Josh Duggar’s ‘treatment center’ left after ‘sexually grooming’ teens and young women

The founder of a chain of Christian “treatment” centers Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar sent their eldest son to for molesting five girls — including his sisters — resigned in 2014 under a cloud of accusations that he had “sexually groomed” and harassed young women and teens in his ministry.

According to RadarOnline Josh Duggar was taken by his father to the Basic Life Principles Training Center in Little Rock, for counseling after admitting to groping the young girls.

Bill Gothard, a Christian writer and minister, founded the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP) in 1961, as a way to help families resolve issues by using Biblical principles. Among the services offered at IBLP are ministry seminars, community outreach, counseling for troubled Christians, and mentoring Christian youth.

I'd not take my son to a "centre" I'd take his arse to a police station!!!!

Fans of the the Duggar family reality show, 19 Kids and Counting, have taken to Twitter to express support for the Duggar daughters, four of whom were reportedly molested by eldest brother Josh Duggar when they were little girls.
While much attention has been paid to Josh Duggar –who has admitted to sexual improprieties with the girls as well as another young woman who is not a member of the family when he was in his teens– little has been said about the Duggar girls who were victimized.

In their statement to the media, parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar — who hushed up the scandal — mentioned “God” six times without mentioning their daughters once.

Fans of the show, and of the daughters in particular, expressed more support for the girls on Twitter, with one advising eldest daughter Jana to “Run away and be free!”

Many noted that some of the daughters seemed to have a darker side on the normally bright and peppy show, and wondered if it was a manifestation of being molested when they were little.

Particular attention is being paid to 25-year-old Jana Duggar, known as “Cinderella Duggar,” because she is unmarried, still lives at home, and is treated like a maid, taking care of the younger Duggars.

Those poor girls.
What bastards the brother and the parents are for not outing him sooner.

terrible how this happened but as I keep saying Christians are not morally superior by default, they are just people trying their best, not excusing his actions they are deplorable, people do all sorts of things.
It is him not his faith that caused the problem.
If there were a book that belonged to a religion that condoned the systematic sexual abuse of children then that would be another thing altogether but Christianity does no such thing.

All well and good, but they tried to hide his crimes based on him being a Christian, that is wrong on every level and we have seen the same for decades now the Catholic Church for example, where they attempt to protect those who commit such despicable criminal acts. So no matter what you say, religion has very much played a part in trying to cover up his crimes here through the beliefs of the people themselves.

Missed me.

how do you know they tried to hide it based on being a Christian and not friendship or family??

we have had the same in the jw's, the mormons and the Muslim actually condone baby molestation...

You should read the links which evidently you have not have you?
The connection of religion is there and to make points off where others do is nothing more than a pathetic deflection as if they are now justified to hide someone because they are Christian.

Here is a just a small example:

In their statement to the media, parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar — who hushed up the scandal — mentioned “God” six times without mentioning their daughters once.

of course their is a connection with religion.. lol if a man is gay and molests children is he a gay peado, would the imporrtance be attached to him being gay or being a peado...?

I'm sure there's already a thread about this.

Why are the Christians being so defensive on a thread about a sex offender?
Happy that they merge

Yet again more deflection from the actual debate.

That is as about as defensive as a Christian can get
