Counting On: Derick Dillard Thinks Jim Bob Mistreats His Children
Counting On star Derick Dillard caught a lot of attention after liking a post on social media recently. Apparently, Derick liked a post criticizing the Institute in Basic Life Principles, which is the religion the Duggars follow. According to the post, the IBLP is a literal “cult” of Bill Gothard. The post also says, “It teaches his perverse version of Christianity that encourages submission and victimization. Fertility is placed above individuality or personhood.” After that, the post ended with a statement saying that Jim Bob keeps the children’s compliant through financial and emotional abuse.
Derick & Jill Are Against Some Of The Duggar’s Rules
The Duggars are known for their conservative beliefs. They avoid birth control, homeschool their children, and even limit their access to modern TV shows and movies. The Duggars also practice courtship, which is one of the main attractions during their past seasons in TLC. However, Counting On stars Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard left the family in 2017 and have been in a long feud with the family. The two criticized Jim Bob Duggar’s way of parenting and have spoken out against their conservative beliefs. Derick also revealed that they’re banned from the family compound when Jim Bob is not around.
Meanwhile, Derick also has allegations of his own against Jim Bob. According to him, Jim Bob withheld payments from them during their time in the family’s reality show. Since their estrangement from the family, Jill and Derick have been doing rebellious activities. At one point, Jill and Derick drank alcohol with Jill’s cousin Amy King with her husband. Jill and Derick also sent their kids to public school instead of homeschooling. Jill even pierced her nose and cut her hair short, which is against the family’s strict rules of modesty.
Counting On: Derick’s Tell-All Book
Counting On star Derick Dillard shocked the fans after teasing that he’s making a tell-all book about the Duggars. According to reports, the tell-all book will feature the dark secrets of Jim Bob Duggar, which can significantly damage his media empire. It’s been a while since fans were able to hear from Derick’s book. However, he made it clear that it will take some time before he finishes it. Meanwhile, Jill Duggar’s sister, Jinger Duggar, recently released her own book called, The Hope We Hold: Finding Peace in the Promises of God.
