Plaintiffs Amend Lawsuit Against IBLP, Also Sue Bill Gothard
Dear Recovering Grace Reader, There has been a rather large development in the legal proceedings surrounding Bill Gothard and the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP).

Some critics objected that these families were extreme outliers within the program, and that ATI and IBLP have never condoned sexual […]
