I was 17 and newly saved. My friend invited me to attend the Institute in Basic Youth Conflicts in 1973. I did learn a lot and established a strong foundation in scripture memorization. I went the following year and then several years later I attended the video version. I knew there was something very wrong when I read in one of Bill Gothard's books that single people must remain in their parents home until marriage. I was single and already established in a new location and career. I am still, and am 68 years old now. I had to renounce his condemnation and agree that it was God who ordered my steps. I recently learned that he has victimized many young ladies with improper emotional intimacy and some touching. I am grateful for his positive impact on lives, but saddened by his moral failure. 😢
Yes, the Shepherding Movement! 70's/80's!!! We were in it too! "Touch not mine anointed"; if you leave the "House of bread & plenty" your life will be terrible, submit to authority! It took us years to recover after we left and they keep telling people everyone who left was in error and would be back, we were in leadership unfortunately and seriously committed!!!
