Duggar family and ‘cult’ religion exposed in docuseries: ‘Raises little predators’
Published By admin with Comments 0
An explosive new trailer for a docuseries about the Duggar family from “19 Kids and Counting” was released on Thursday and claims to “expose the truth” about a religion that many claim “raises little predators” and “turned every father into a cult leader.”
TLC’s now-canceled reality show chronicled the kids’ lives as they were brought up by parents Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar in an ultrastrict religious group, the Institute in Basic Life Principles.
The limited docuseries, “Shiny Happy People: Duggar Family Secrets,” will be “exposing the truth” behind the family and the IBLP, an organization established in 1961 by minister Bill Gothard, since forced out under allegations of abuse.
“World domination was the goal,” one man in the trailer alleged.
Another woman even claimed that the institute “raises little predators.”
The series will feature two members of the Duggar family, Jim Bob and Michelle’s second eldest daughter, 32-year-old Jill Dillard, and her cousin, Amy King, 36. Both Jill and Amy have previously spoken out about their upbringings in the organization.
“As details of the family and their scandals unfold, we realize they’re part of an insidious, much larger threat already in motion, with democracy itself in peril,” the new series’ logline reads.
“The biggest feature of Bill Gothard’s teachings is authority,” one woman said in the trailer. “Kids obey the parents, wives obey their husbands, everyone obeys Bill Gothard.”
