Bill Gothard, an Illinois-based advocate for home-schooling and conservative dress and who warned against rock music and debt, has been placed on administrative leave after allegations of sexually harassing women who worked at his ministry and failing to report child abuse cases.
Gothard’s Institute in Basic Life Principles was once a popular gathering spot for thousands of Christian families, including the Duggar family from TLC’s “19 Kids and Counting.” Gothard’s Advanced Training Institute conferences were also popular among devotees of the Quiverfull movement, who promote large families and eschew birth control.

To be honest, I've always thought he was a nut.
I remember listening to a sermon of his when I was a kid - I wasn't a Christian yet, but had a step sister who thought he was the greatest thing since sliced bread - where he played a record of a John Phillips Sousa march and then claimed that rock music is evil.
Even as a kid, I remember laughing and wondering if the guy knew what "post hoc ergo proptor hoc" meant.
