From 2007 to 2015, the Duggars, a conservative Christian family from Arkansas, starred on a TLC reality TV show named after their ever-expanding family. A new docuseries, "Shiny Happy People" reveals the scaffolding on which their fame was built: the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), a fundamentalist Christian ministry with links to the religious right. Here's more on the documentary, which is on Amazon Prime.

A girl got in trouble at an Institute for Basic Life Principles camp thing because she used tampons during her period, thus removing her virginity, the "right" of her future husband.
I wish these fuckers and Gothard would get raided.
Also, Gothard: Never married, no kids, in his 80s. #Duggar #DuggarFamily #InsituteForBasicLifewPrinciples #ChristianFundamentalism #ChristianNationalism #ShinyHappyPeople #BillGothard

Imagine fucking laughing at the idea of a kid getting beat. And beating a kid because they didn't hug you sincerely enough after you beat them.
And this one bitch bragging about beating for 14 MONTH old looks as much a witch as she acts like one. #InstituteForBasicLifePrinciples #Duggar #DuggarFamily #ChristianFundamentalism #ChristianNationalism. #ShinyHappyPeople

it shows a passage in one of the IBLP's "wisdom booklets" that declares that rich men have different lusts (implying sexually based on the section it's in) than poor men, citing 1 Timothy 6:9 (nice). That's not what it says, and I think Bill Gothard needs to read it again and take it to heart. #Duggar #DuggarFamily #ChristianFundamentalism #ChristianNationalism

Just watched the documentary on the #DuggarFamily, Gothard, the #IBLP, and it's awful. But they slipped in the Joshua Generation #GenJ and all that "taking back our country" stuff. They presented Madison Cawthorn as the first example but there appear to be many more to come.
The wife's got me watching this #duggarfamily documentary. I miss the good old days when we just burned these people in their compounds. Where's Janet Reno when you need her?
Heads up if you are watching the new Duggar Family/IBLP Amazon documentary “Shiny Happy People”:
In episode 4 at the 4 minute mark, they discuss what was in the CSA files on Josh Duggar’s computer. Skip to 4:20 to avoid.
