Bill Gothard

No, I am not a fan of Bill. Just to make it clear.

 

Interesting point.

Another thing I would point out from people who have been there is his lack of respect for "powerless authority"
He has great respect for the government that could put him in jail, but he walks all over the authority of the home if the reports I have heard are true.

I knew a man who put his family in and he was told that he had to shave his beard to be in the program. He thought the program was good enough to give up his beard, but there was a much bigger problem.
Giving up a beard is not a big deal.
Giving up the headship of your home IS a big deal.

There is a good booklet here about Character first. It even has my article in it
