JINGER Duggar has written an apparently explosive new book exposing her parents and their extreme religious observations.
And according to one insider, the tell-all could lead to the rebellious reality star being completely cut off from her family.

Jinger’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, follow the teachings of the Institute in Basic Life Principles (IBLP), which preaches a strict hierarchy of authority, beginning with Jesus at the top, followed by church elders, and then husbands, who are tasked with protecting their wives and children.
But the 28-year-old former Counting On star has famously rebelled against her father’s ultra-conservative ways, wearing revealing clothing and breaking other rules of his.
Now it appears she may be gearing up to reveal even more.
According to gossip blogger Katie Joy, Jinger‘s new book, Becoming Free Indeed, is “all about dismantling and leaving the oppressive world of the IBLP.”
And the book, which is due to come out early next year, could be an eye-opener for the famous family.
“Omg, Jeremy & Jinger are about to get cut off for good cause she’s going to admit to growing up living in fear!” Katie teased on Instagram.
Katie claims the book liner, “credits Ben Seewald (husband of Jessa Duggar) with opening up Jinger’s eyes to the wrong beliefs she lived under.
“Then Jeremy Vuolo is credited for continuing to show Jinger how the rules under the IBLP were Biblically false.”

RELIGIOUS TEACHINGS
The IBLP was founded by evangelical minister Bill Gothard in the 1960s but the alleged “cult” was thrust into mainstream focus in 2004, following the release of the Duggar family’s first reality TV series, “14 Children and Pregnant Again”.
According to Gothard, who never married, a man’s role in life is to provide “servant leadership” while women must respond with “reverent submission and assistance.”
The Duggars did not believe in birth control. They home-schooled their children using Gothard’s ATI program, required them to wear “modest” clothing, and limited influences from the outside world.
BREAKING AWAY
But Jinger and her husband Jeremy have been able to escape her parent’s influence, both spiritually, by breaking his rules, and literally, by moving to far-more progressive California.
Jinger has been defying her father’s dress code for months now, and seems to have stepped up her boundary pushing since her recent move.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Sun reported that Jinger and Jeremy dropped $830,000 on their new dream home far away from the star’s home state of Arkansas.
Recently, Jeremy shared a video of his wife walking along the path outside their home.
In the brief video, Jinger wore a pair of skintight denim jeans with rips at the knees and a plain white T-shirt.
If the jeans weren’t daring enough, one of her dad’s most inflexible rules includes not allowing women to display their legs or dress in a revealing manner.
