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

- Children complicit in their own molestation
- “Child Training”(KJV term)
- Corporal punishment
- Blanket Training
