What a CreepSeason 31, Episode 2Bill Gothard, founder of the Institute in Basic Life PrinciplesKristen Meinzer from The Nighty on Hatch Plus and Health Matters from the Mayo Clinic joins Sonia Mansfield to talk about creep Bill Gothard, a minister, writer, and the founder of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP). The IBLP is a fundamentalist Christian organization that encourages the submission of wives to husbands, procreative sex, the corporal punishment of children, homeschooling, and biblical literalism. Those who’ve escaped it say it goes much further, enlisting coercion, mind control, isolation, sexual abuse, and financial manipulation against its adherents.
