Purple_Kangaroo quoted:

". . girls whose hearts are turned to their fathers will behave as Doug Phillips’ daughters: anticipating his needs, offering encouragement and physical affection (‘rubbing their fingers through Daddy’s hair’), and rejecting ‘patricidal’ friends who encourage them to keep secrets from their fathers” (Joyce, 224).

OK, aside from all the spiritual craziness involved with VF, encouraging daughters to be physically affectionate like that (bolded above) with fathers, and saying God gave daughters to help fulfill a father's desire for attention from a younger woman (quoted in another post), just seems totally icky. I mean, almost incestuous--if not sexually, then emotionally.

I'm also disappointed to see that ICR, Institute for Creation Research--an organization my husband and I have supported and been blessed by--lists Doug Phillips on their website as an adjunct professor of apologetics at ICR. I'm considering sending them a letter about it.
