Has Anyone Read this Blog? Razing Ruth...
 
I'm captivated, and can't stop reading it. I want to write to her and invite her to browse through GCM, but I want to read all the way to the beginning (I'm reading it backwards). In a nutshell, it's the daughter of someone who is sort of high up in the Gothard "ministry," and who has left the whole QF/ ATI movement, and is speaking out about her experiences. It's pretty powerful, and she's remarkably insightful. Check this out:

I've read it and I agree with all your conclusions--she's a great writer and it's insane what she's recovered from. I knew someone in ATI and it was horrible.

Fascinating. I've only read the first page of posts, but wow.

Really interesting. Thanks for posting the link. I can't imagine trying to recover from that. :(

I had wondered about Gothard...a childless, never married man. How did he get to be such an expert?

Wow, I've been reading for the last 30 min. How old is she exactly? Early twenties? She seems so mature & well spoken.
I became a follower.

She mentions in one of the first blogs that she was born in 1984. Her mom was a high school teacher before she was married and homeschooled her kids.

Half of it is blocked by my filter and I forget the code. BUT what I have read is amazing. Praying for her!

I always wonder if any of the Duggars will come out of that.

I read just about all of it now. Wow! I could say so much... wasn't the story about how the family dealt with 9/11 warped? What a window into a Gothard family.
I pray all of her other siblings come out of it too.
