Surviving The Duggar's Cult

from [Cult]ure Shock Hosted by Kendra Lee Bryan

Hey Heathens! Have you watched Amazon's docu-series, "Shiny Happy People? In this episode I talk to Lindsey Williams who was prominently featured on the show but *plot twist*, we aren't talking about the documentary... at least not in ways it's been talked about before. We dive head first into the precise tactics Bill Gothard used on children and families to bring in millions of dollars for his benefit, how obedience was a performance to recruit other families, and the non-stop brainwashing we all experienced. Lindsey also addresses how she was chosen by Gothard, and ultimately how she was able to escape the IBLP grasp. Gifts of support (linked on my page) are always welcomed with gratitude!

In the early 2000's, the IBLP brought in over 60 million dollars ($60,000,000) per year in revenue, largely in part to thousands of children providing free labor in addition to remodeling donated training centers. Other massive revenue streams include The Basic Seminar, Advanced Seminar, ATI (Advanced Training Institute), Character Curriculum, Embassy University (Disciplining Nations) and other IBLP materials/curriculum sold.
