Following Josh Duggars admitted addiction to pornography and cheating on his wife, Anna Duggar, Michelle Duggar, Josh's mother has told fans that he has checked into a Christian Rehab Center for treatment. But according to Radar Online, the disgraced TV reality star is less likely to recover. He is suspected to have checked in to Reformers Unanimous, founded by the North Love Baptist Church in Rockford, Illinois, which encourages patients to consult the bible instead of psychotherapists.
Radar Online has learned that Reformers Unanimous has strong ties with the Duggar friend Bill Gothard, a discredited Institute in Basic Life Principles founder. The 80-year-old is said to have resigned from the religious organization after 35 young women and teenagers accused him of sexual harassment. Before he resigned, Bob and Michelle was said to have trusted him so much, they confided in him about Josh's sexual abuse of five young females, including at least two of his own sisters, back in 2003. Then they reportedly sent Josh to Gothard's Little Rock Training Center in Arkansas, Josh's first rehab center where he was put on a carpentry program instead of getting the appropriate help from licensed therapists and medical staff. "When Josh came back he was a different person," Gothard told the Daily Mail in July. But he was proved wrong when Josh was found to be an Ashley Madison website user and have been sexually involved with a porn star.
According to Radar Online, Josh is once again in a rehab center that believes in Gothard's principles. Former North Love practitioner and teacher Dan Parsons told Radar exclusively, "All staff members and deacons in [North Love] church were required to attend Bill Gothard's seminars. The church very much supported him." Therefore, Parsons is not confident that the center will be able to provide Josh the help he needed to recover. "There's no medical license, and it's not even clear what Josh is doing there," he added. "It's really just another way for the church to make money."
