When I was in the military I attended his Basic Youth Conflicts.

Frankly, he rips lots of scripture out of context. And, when he comes to town psychologists become very busy dealing with the damaged people he leaves in his wake.

The Blinding and Binding Teachings of Bill Gothard
by Paul Sue

A Matter of Basic Principles: Bill Gothard & the Christian Life by Don Veinot, Joy Veinot, Ron Henzel. 21st Century Press, 2002.

It’s probably safe to say that most Christians in North America have heard of or have even attended one of Gothard’s seminars. Because of the popularity and mass appeal of Gothard’s ministry, attempting to question it or criticize it is to face the wrath and anathema of the legion of loyal (blindly loyal in some cases) fans. Gothardites get angry and defensive when you question their beloved leader’s teachings or integrity, as if he is somehow beyond reproach or accountability. To such die-hard supporters, this book will, I’m sad to say, do little to sway them from their steadfast adherence to Gothardism: a case of the blind leading the blind (though you still should encourage them to read this excellent book and pray for them!).

I was involved for 10 years of my life with a church that will influenced by Bill Gothard.

For five of those years the influence was heavy. I can confirm to everything I read in those links and more.

Fortunately later on the church began to move away from that. I have since moved away, but I understand that now the Gothard influence has passed.

Definitely wierd stuff.
