<\/em>about how \u201cthere\u2019s definitely enough for another solid, crazy episode that I think people would eat up.\u201d<\/p>\nShepherd added: \u201cThere is some stuff that we shot that I would love to have it see the light of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fellow executive producer Blye Faust added: \u201cI think we could have spent multiple more episodes on the Duggars, and also the larger story at play.\u201d<\/p>\nCounting On star Michelle Duggar speaks about raising her children within their toxic, controlling home while Jim Bob Duggar listens. (YouTube)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cThere\u2019s always a conversation going on of should we do more,\u201d Faust commented. \u201cAnd I think we\u2019ll continue to have that conversation [once] the series comes out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shepherd admitted: \u201cThere were things like the whole section about the Joshua Generation was really made a lot shorter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Generation Joshua is a movement that aims to have Christian Dominionists (primarily white homeschooled young men) infiltrate the United States government at various levels. Their purpose, to \u201cconquer\u201d the United States as the biblical Joshua conquered Canaan in their religious texts.<\/p>\nJim Bob and Michelle Duggar have lost a considerable amount of weight. And fans are worried about their health. (Photo via Instagram) (Instagram)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cWe could do an entire documentary on that, and I hope people will go and do a really deep dive on that,\u201d Shepherd continued.<\/p>\n
She explained \u201cbecause to me, this is how this affects every American. In fact, [it] is affecting the world.\u201d <\/p>\n
She emphasized that \u201cIt wasn\u2019t entirely Bill Gothard that created the Joshua Generation. But certainly, a lot of really key people were heavily influenced by him and his teachings. And so to me, that was just criminal that we had to leave that part out.\u201d<\/p>\nGothard resigned from his post in disgrace following dozens of sexual assault and harassment allegations.

\u201cLike municipal governments where, in certain cities, they printed quotes from his work on the checks of the city employees,\u201d she cited. \u201cThat didn\u2019t make it into the doc.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shepherd added: \u201cThere were these things called God Pod in prisons because there was a whole amount of funding to do character training in prisons.\u201d<\/p>\nMichelle and Jim Bob Duggar at the Values Voter Summit on Washington, DC. (Photo Credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cAnd women in female prison units joined these God Pods,\u201d Shepherd detailed.<\/p>\n
These were units \u201cwhere they were given better housing and food if they would study the teachings of Bill Gothard. That included authoritarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n
Shepherd pointed out: \u201cThese were women who had been abused, all kinds of terrible things. And they were told, you need to obey a man. So those were some of the things. Sorry, I could go for hours, of course, about that.\u201d<\/p>\nJim Bob Duggar speaks at the Values Voter Summit in Washington, DC. (Photo Credit: Getty Images)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMeanwhile, Faust noted the \u201camazing\u201d timing of releasing this docuseries. After all, a lot of people like Jim Bob have done a lot of damage. But multiple outlets are exposing them.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a Washington Post<\/em> article that just dropped [on May 29] about the world of fundamental homeschooling,\u201d Faust cited. \u201cIt was really revealing and, actually, very moving, too.\u201d<\/p>\nFaust added: \u201cI think there\u2019s something out there right now. This conversation is starting to take place as to looking at some of these fundamental institutions, belief systems. And how they\u2019ve been allowed to flourish and the impact that it has on not just kids and homeschool, but also for women.\u201d<\/p>\nThere are just so many Duggars. And here so many of them are, all in one majestic photograph. (TLC)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI think this will definitely open people\u2019s eyes and, hopefully, start a larger conversation about a lot of those things,\u201d she then added.<\/p>\n
And she concluded: \u201c\u2018Cause it\u2019s not just the Duggars and it\u2019s not just IBLP. There\u2019s a much bigger system at play here.\u201d<\/p>\n
We can see the hand of these malefactors in politics, in terrorist threats aimed at corporations and celebrations. The indoctrination and infiltration has been going on for years.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
