CLICK HERE to visit the Duggars' official website and see pictures of the family at a regional ATI conference (episodes 31, 79, and 128 of 19 Kids and Counting show the Duggars attending these conferences).  A few of the Duggars' ATI conference photos are particularly noteworthy:  THIS picture shows family patriarch Jim bob Duggar with ATI/IBLP founder/cult leader Bill Gothard (UPDATE - March 2014 - This photo was removed from the Duggar's website after Bill Gothard resigned from ATI/IBLP as the result of a sexual harassment scandal).  THIS picture shows the four oldest Duggar daughters with Bill Gothard.  There are also a few pictures (EXAMPLE 1, EXAMPLE 2) of the Duggar boys wearing ALERT Cadet uniforms.  ALERT (Air Land Emergency Resource Team) is ATI/IBLP's paramilitary program for male graduates of the ATI homeschooling program (CLICK HERE to watch the official ALERT promo video).  The ALERT Cadet program is a Boy-Scouts-like program that introduces younger boys to the skills they'll need as full-fledged ALERT members.
