Three Cheers for Jeri!
Even more app...Solid Gold. <br />Three Cheers for Jeri! <br />Even more appreciation, respect and applause to Sally and the others who have spoken out. The Chrisitian community needed brave women like this to speak out against Gothard 30 years ago. So glad we have them today. <br /><br />Solid gold article - a gold mine of BG's hypocrisy.

At the same time, when will I ever stop being gobsmacked by the depth of individual "experts'" hypocrisy in this world? <br /><br />How I wish I could go back in time to my earnest 19-year-old self who was desperately trying to rise above the chaos in her family, trying to get it right according to the big red book, but on every return to that book finding more reasons why she kept failing--impure motives, an improperly worded statement, a missed step in the formula for perfection. There was always more and more evidence of my ineptitude and immaturity. <br /><br />Of course, for all Gothard's big-ass lying and hypocrisy, he couldn't have got out of the gate if it weren't for all the parents and ministers whose egos were stroked by his teaching, who saw in it a license to pour out fear, obligation, and guilt onto the very people most dependent on them. They traded their children's mental, emotional, and spiritual health for their own tyrannical narcissism.

Here's hoping all of those abused and mistreated by Gothard can see through his smokescreen, and respond to him as she has.Serving Kids in Japannoreply@blogger.com
