Quiverfull Movement

If each Christian family had six children,

and the humanists, feminists, and others kept

on having an average of one…

…then in twenty years there would be

sixty of us for every forty of them..

In forty years,

90 percent of America would be Christian!

Spiritual Covering / Confinement

You face

God’s direct retribution

if you don’t

remain confined

Gothard’s Hammer Analogy

Context:

Parents

&

childrenPeople are

diamonds

in the rough

Reframe

interpersonal

conflict

to foster

personal

growth

Hierarchy & Submission

Submission & Suffering

Not an analogy:

IMPERATIVE

Sexual Abuse

Suggests that the

physical body is

not important

Asks what sexual

behavior solicited

the abuse

Testimonies that

Gothard required women

who were molested

as children to repent

IFB & Gothard Doctrines

- Suffering for family is redemptive

- Victims share blame in sex abuse- “Strange woman” doctrine (KJV term “prostitute”)

- Children complicit in their own molestation

- “Child Training”(KJV term)

- Corporal punishment

- Blanket Training
