Seems to me some of her quotes come from the people the Duggar's have been following.

Most of her quotes come from other (anti Duggar) people writing about the people they say the Duggar's are following. Or they are brief quotes with little context. I am not pro Duggar, I just don't think it is a well written article. She didn't grow up in the same culture as the Duggar's either - just similar in that her parents had similar parenting practices...based on what she can gather.

Actually, she did. Her parents followed Gothard/IBLP and the Pearls.

That is like saying any two couples who both read Ferber are similar and their kids are growing up in similar homes. Reading an author doesn't make you the same. ATI is a homescooling program - again two families using the same program do not mean they are the same. The Duggar's identify as independent Baptists and attend a Baptist Church.

ATI is a cult.

Oh I didn't realize it had received that designation - is it on the cults and sects list now? When I knew of it it wasn't a cult.

ATI is pretty involved though...not like just ordering Abeka. They have these weird conferences and choirs made up of children who were conceived after their parents' vasectomy/tubal ligations were reversed.

I wish I was making this up. I dated a guy who grew up in this community. There were home videos of the choir.

Now that is weird! weirder than the 'cult' I grew up in. We didn't have reversal baby choirs!
