I think it's worth pointing out that there's a very high likelihood that kids/teens/young adults who grow up in the specific ATI/IBLP/Gothardite brand of IFB are getting sexually assaulted, violated or at least getting boundaries trampled (and spiritual abuse should go without saying) to the extent that it's a foregone conclusion to the higher ups. Could be by a religious leader, a family pastor, a family member, Bill Gothard, a neighbor, the list goes on and on. There's a papertrail to back up this common behavior. ATI/IBLP publishes volumes instructing parents to deal with the "normal" (per their pamphlets) incidents of incest, specifically sibling, Or handling the issue when a child is sexually assaulted by a same gender neighbor while mowing his lawn (god was testing his faith to see if he could get through such a terrible experience and still trust in god and not forsake god or takeup for the devil - not making this up)
Volumes of (seriously grotesque, warped, straight from the mind of a twisted, power-hungry human who wears religion like a costume, not a person who is purely religious) pamphlets addressing these hideous crimes, as if they were just another inconvenient quirk of raising a megafamily cloistered, trained to follow/respect all elders w/o question, and not trained in following instincts or how/when to establish boundaries, show us that these specific people are morally bankrupt from the top, and that various assaults and abuses are common.
So it really doesn't matter if the bible says incest or sexual assault are forbidden. These people (leaders) don't care. They just want to be in charge and tell people what to do based on the biblical interpretation that will ensure their enduring power over these people. I doubt the people at the top have any values or beliefs at all. Just look to Bill Gothard. A lifelong bachelor with zero children advising and mentoring families to marry (young!) and have zillions of children. Not exactly practicing what he preaches. Oh, and he sexually assaults the teens and young women sent to apprentice as secretaries at his center.
So it's likely that some of the rodlettes are going to be touched in their nono places because they're not taught boundaries, they're taught to do everything a man says without question and because they live in isolation. Could be a repair person, could be a family friend, could be anyone, Could be a rando they handed a smiley face tract to. Once it happens, they'll be reminded that what happened was their fault. I don't think pappa rod is a diddler. He just wants to drink hummingbird nectar and stare off into space.
I'm not surprised that incest happens so often in these families. They're breeding their own sample sized demographic groups.
