Last year, Institute for Basic Life Principles founder and CEO Bill Gothard resigned in disgrace after 34 young women accused him of various forms of sexual misconduct. Today, Gothard is best known as the former minister for the Duggar family who outlined Jim Bob and Michelle’s controversial beliefs regarding sex and relationships. When Josh Duggar was sent for “counseling” after confessing to molesting five young girls , it was Gothard and the IBLP who helped conceal his crimes from the authorities and attempted to “cure” him through highly unconventional methods. For some reason, Gothard thought today would be a good day to break his silence after over a year in hiding. He was wrong: “I am so thankful for the outpouring of thoughtfulness and support during the last 18 months as I have faced the greatest trials of my life,” Gothard wrote on Facebook. God has been so faithful and even in discipline has stood with me and encouraged me like never before. “Through all of this He has given me treasures and insights I could never have imagined. It is my earnest desire that I will be able to see His blessing ministered into the lives of each of you with the time and strength He continues to give me.” Gothard’s Facebook followers, many of whom were personally victimized by the former preacher, were apparently forgiving mood. Some highlights: “Until you apologize publicly for molesting minors and turn over the money you stole from us, you are still nothing more than a common criminal.” “When you meet our Lord he will cast you down to hell for the many sins you’ve committed.” “You disgusting pervert for raping so many women. You will burn in Hell.” “You’re an evil man who has raped women and never apologized for it. By the metrics of your own faith you will not go to heaven. Hope you’re okay with that!” “I was only 17 when you were 60. You were molesting my girlfriend while listening to me confess my intimate girlish thoughts. You took advantage of me.” A statement from the IBLP reminded Facebook users that Gothard is still barred from any involvement with the organization. Those who have watched the thread closely claim that more than 200 comments have already been deleted from Gothard’s status update.

29 Totally Insane Celebrity Tour Demands

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

We all know demanding people in our day to day life. The person who MUST have a certain coffee cup from the company stash. The one who can't STAND if the office manager doesn't buy a certain creamer. That guy who complains to anyone who can hear if he has to park somewhere other than his “usual” spot. Those people can be total buzzkills. Well, guess what. Some of our celebrities can be demanding too. But this is what it takes to get them on the stage, so managers and reps and venue personnel the world over meet their demands and enjoy their brush with fame. (Or they don't. That's totally possible.) Check out 29 outrageous celebrity tour demands! So. Many. Snacks. (And so. many. towels.) 1. Miley Cyrus Sigh. Once upon a time all she wanted backstage was Guitar Hero and Frosted Flakes because she didn’t want to stop rocking. There’s really no telling the myriad ways her demands have grown as she’s gotten increasingly more…out there. 2. Pharrell Williams Pharrell Williams once requested a troupe of belly dancers. Guess that’s why he was so damn happy. (Badum CHHHHH…) 3. Kanye West Long before Kanye West was Kim Kardashian’s baby daddy, his tour rider held the demand that his dressing suite be entirely white, floor to ceiling. Now he’s added an $8,000 bed (EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLAR BED) for North, as well as the tot’s own personal chef to make her favorite meals with organic foods. 4. Taylor Swift Among some of Taylor Swift’s very first tour demands were: edamame (which she noted came from the frozen aisle of the grocery store), Starbucks grandes, and Ben & Jerry’s. Throw in some Ugg boots and it just doesn’t get much more basic than T.Swift. 5. Kid Rock Kid Rock is a simple man, really. His request? Packs of Hanes or Fruit of the Loom underwear, white one-pocket tees, white tank tops, and white socks. 6. Gwen Stefani The No Doubt front-woman, solo artist, mom of three, and judge of The Voice *used to* request “bright white rooms,” 30 bottles of water, 10 white towels, 4 white candles (all the same scent), and a pesticide-free buffet. (Are you sensing a trend here with all the requests for white everything?) View Slideshow
