Get the Popcorn Ready: "Return of the Daughters" has...returned

The Botkin sisters, Anna Sofia and Elizabeth, were raised in (and AFAIK are still part of) a Dominionist cult - and their local chapter, home, where they still live while pushing 30, is run by daddy. (If you watch the linked vid, you'll soon see why their fate is at once tragic, ironic, and...darkly funny, for all the Botkins' collectively egotistical posturing and ridiculously bloated CVs.)

The Botkin Family used to develop various media to consign for sale through a now-defunct parachurch organisation called Vision Forum.

What makes the linked Youtube.com video, Return of the Daughters, so special - aside from the obvious and very fundie insanity - is that one of the interviewed daughters also worked as a nanny for Doug Phillips, then CEO of Vision Forum.

This man lived the high life, travelling the world while "interns" pushed all manner of fundie material to pay for his adventures in dress-up land.

He was a pastor. Now, however, his brand is tarnished for his allegedly having been sexually inappropriate with that nanny (who sued him).

For a long time, this film simply disappeared, reappearing again only after the suit was dropped, settled out of court, and subject to a fucking gag order.

...and so now the film is not only back but, in a first for the Botkins, it's available to watch for free.

Information about the suit and its fallout can be found here:
