Lindsey dives deep into the lack of education growing up with Gothard’s ATI religious home school program, how she wanted to leave her ab*sive household at 18 and join the famous Gothard (who was seen as a prophet) at head quarters, and how Gothard began to groom her as one of his “Gothard Girls” once he had her alone. \n\nIG: <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/thecultchronicles/\" target=\"_blank\">@thecultchronicles</a>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/crazypretty\" target=\"_blank\">Lindsey’s hair and make up page</a>\n<a href=\"https://linktr.ee/Cultchronicles\" target=\"_blank\">\nLindsey’s link tree</a>\n\nSupport Shelise\nAny donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast</p>\n<p><a href=\"https://cults-to-consciousness-shop.fourthwall.com/en-usd\" target=\"_blank\">Our Merch!</a></p>\n<p>Patreon:<a href=\"https://www.patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness\" target=\"_blank\"> Patreon.com/cultstoconsciousness</a></p>\n<p>Venmo @sheliseann</p>\n<p>Any donations are welcome and appreciated to support the making of this podcast</p>\n<p>Website <a href=\"https://www.sheliseannsola.com/\" target=\"_blank\">CultsToConsciousness.com</a></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Find Shelise on Social media!</p>\n<p>Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/cultstoconsiousness\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstoconsciousness</a></p>\n<p>Host Instagram <a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/sheliseann/\" target=\"_blank\">@sheliseann</a></p>\n<p>TikTok<a href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@cults.to.consciousness\" target=\"_blank\"> @cults.to.consciousness</a></p>\n<p>Twitter <a href=\"https://twitter.com/cultstocon\" target=\"_blank\">@cultstocon</a>\nChapter Marks\n\n00:00:00 Intro\n00:03:37 IBLP and Bill Gothard, explained\n00:07:28 Modesty rules for women in the IBLP\n00:11:02 Lindsey explains her home school education with the Words of Wisdom booklets\n00:13:19 What Lindsey feels now is lacking from the Words of Wisdom\n00:16:23 What the day to day education was like\n00:21:11 Did Homeschool ATI-ers have to take a state test?\n00:25:04 How Lindsey's parents reacted to the changes made at home\n00:28:06 Does Lindsey feel she had a happy chiIdhood?\n00:35:50 Lindsey plays a recording of her 18 year old self giving her Testimony at head quarters\n00:47:52 Corporal pun*shment is encouraged in the IBLP\n00:52:58 How Lindsey ended up at head quarters with Bill Gothard\n00:58:18 Gothard preys on Lindsey\n01:15:51 Gothard inserts himself as Lindsey's spiritual father (tries to get her mole removed)\n01:19:32 Lindsey accidentally had some men sent away, and she was blamed\n01:26:17 How Lindsey met her husband (and why he was sent home by Gothard)\n01:33:46 After \"the kiss\" Lindsey is sent to a Training Center\n01:36:52 Linda, listen\n\nTheme Song Produced and Composed by Christian Guevara\n\n**Disclaimer: Thanks for joining us at Cults to Consciousness.
