In this episode of Exposing IBLPs Men's Manual, we dive into Bill Gothard’s controversial views on news reporting and history writing. Gothard argues that a newspaper should not report all the facts because "the public has a right to know," citing the idea that "the truth shall make you free." But his take on truth is far from balanced. His dangerous views on omitting or filtering the reports through "God's word" can lead to the omission of reporting on dangerous individuals the public has a right to be aware of.

Gothard claims that truth out of balance leads to error and that detrimental information about people shouldn’t be made public until it’s thoroughly vetted. He believes that public news media should never violate God’s moral standards—but at what cost? This mindset is what has lead to a white-washing of history and control over what gets reported.

We also explore Gothard's take on objectivity in news reporting and history writing, where he rejects the idea that anyone can be truly objective. He argues that all reporters are inevitably influenced by their own biases and philosophies and that facts should always emphasize God’s truths rather than neutral, unbiased information.

In this episode, I break down how Gothard’s controlling mindset shapes both news and history, stifling objective reporting and shaping public perception in dangerous ways. How does this impact the way we view the past and present?

Tune in to learn more about the implications of his teachings on media, truth, and history.

Dee continues her deep dive into IBLPs Men's Manual. We get to dive into the topic of racism and how the tone in Bill Gothard's Answer to this question was covertly racist. It's apparent to me now, but back in the day it just reinforced what I had already been exposed to in the south. Question 2 of the day is about knowledge and advancing as a society. It is interesting how Bill Gothard answers this question. I'm curious what are your thoughts on knowledge, and if it is related to us advancing as a society. Question 3 of the day asks if truth is something you find, or do you have to search for it? Do you agree that this is a setup to always go to IBLP/Bill Gothard to seek and find the truth?Comment below and let us know your thoughts.Umbrella Rebellion is a podcast where we share our experience in the ATI/IBLP and fundamental cults.
