You doubtless remember more accurately. I'm among the Less Than One Percenters who aren't that crazy about chocolate generally. 

I know: weird! 

[smittykins]

I remember when red M&Ms were discontinued for several years because of the Red Dye #2 scare(although they apparently never had it).

There used to be tan, which they got rid of when they added blue--the M&Ms of my childhood didn't have blue.
(The dark browns were popular because people thought they tasted more chocolatey, which is why they pulled tan, not brown)
(WHY do I have brain cells dedicated to this off the top of my head?

Yes--there was a big scare about Red #2 when my daughter was little (circa 1980).  IIRC, there was a time when they discontinued brown M&Ms.

OT: In 1999, Ex-Mr.-Hane-#2, an engineer, scoffed at an M&M commercial that dubbed them "the official candy of the new millennium." "Who decided THAT?" he demanded, rolling his eyes. "MM is the Roman numeral for 2000," I told him--one of the rare times I managed to shut him up. (Filed for divorce later that year.)

ETA: Thanks, @smittykins--it was the tan ones, not the brown ones!

I had not seen that. LMAO!

Goddesses, huh?

Hey Florence, here’s what your buddy Doug/Phil/DW was saying about “mother-goddess promoters” like YOU just eight short years ago:

JFYI.

[Destiny]

Remind me about Lena?

Most of her stuff is on Yuku. Lina was A Set Apart Life back in the day. She married a dude that we dubbed Taliban Tony after he visited us. If you are really really bored, I highly recommend going back to Yuku and checking out her threads.
She was sorta like Brandy. Off the top of my head, she was a SAHD, a fake Jew, a vegan, a catholic, and a couple of other things.

[ladyamylynn]

Oh yes, Lina! I didn't know if Lena was a separate crazy person! She's a boring old catholic now.

[Destiny]

Yeah, I apologise. I didn't notice that I was autocorrected to Lena. I sincerely hope she is ok and happy. I liked her, even though she was often fairly clueless.

She was one of my gateways, and I miss her.

Thanks for this reminder.  It's easy to remember MOAR CELLOS!, manly adventures and wide stances, but he was easily as noxious as Doug Wilson in his writing.   Surely these folks will stumble across his past, but perhaps he has a cover story prepared, something about an identical twin (religious fanatic, you know, thought he was Jesus Christ) who is now institutionalized. So sad.

Or, "I was a victim of my overbearing, egomaniacal father!" I really do think that if he's ever cornered-- which I hope and pray he one day will be-- he's going to throw Howard under the bus. In the nicest way possible, of course-- "Oh, don't get me wrong, he loved us very much"-- but he'll still do it.

For the past six months or so, we have had the opportunity to walk to church. It's been one of my favorite parts of the week.

If I'm not mistaken, that's Dougie in the lead, escorting one of their daughters.

[Howl]

Just guessing that they are NOT attending a Family Integrated Church!  Heh.

IIRC, Doug and the youngest daughter went to a father-daughter dance at The River  Church: http://trcdurango.com  It's certainly within walking distance of their house. 

This is the link to the What We Believe page for The River Church: http://trcdurango.com/about-us/what-we-believe/

I had totally forgotten that I rented a room in a rooming house for the summer, two or three blocks from where they are living.  There was a crazy person (I mean really crazy) who lived next door.  Early on, I inadvertently parked in front of his house and woke up to my truck window smeared with egg, which had (by design) dripped down inside the door, and some little chicken bones were stuffed down into the door as well. Apparently, this was this guy's usual way of showing his displeasure with people who parked anywhere in front of his house.  It was a real mess to clean up.

"We believe a Christians’ moderation should be obvious to others..."

Doug is just the very picture of moderation when he's chasing strange p***y at booze-soaked bacchanals in Europe, isn't he? 

"...and that relationship with Jesus should never lead people into extremes of fanaticism..."

Is it fanatical to want to imprison/execute gay people? Because-- just between you and me-- your new friend Doug used to advocate that. No, seriously. 

"...their lives should model that of Christ in uprightness, balance, humility, and self-sacrifice (Colossians 3:12, 13; Philippians 4:5)."

No, no, no, and no.

And the Foursquare Church was founded  by a woman--Aimee Semple McPherson.

Jen F. is movin' on up. 

Very nice, I must say.

I can't quite figure out The Leazer Group, but it sounds like mortgage insurance. Cute little casita!

How did you find out? what's up with her? Did she divorce Taliban Teddy?

[ViolaSebastian]

I took one for the team and did some *cough* *cough* *cough* research, and there are green m&ms in the typical mix. Does anyone remember that they had a vote to see which color replaced tan? I know the options were blue, purple, and another, but I can't remember the third.

Also, Doug Phillips is still a tool. That is all. 

[Hane]

@ViolaSebastian, the third color was pink. I remember when the poll came out--it was in early 2002 and I was in Amsterdam. While I was there, I also saw commercials for Woolite for black clothes, and the hotel had a campaign encouraging people to hang their towels up and reuse them to save water and energy. When I got back to the US, six months later all three things started here--the M&Ms poll, the Woolite, and the towel thing. It looked as if companies were doing a test-run in Europe before rolling them out in the US.

Facebook. Yes she and Tony divorced a couple years back. He's a staunch atheist now. It looks like most if not all of his family ditched the faux Jew act.

[bea]

I followed her Pinterest and suspected she might be a single mom now, but no confirmation.
Man, I miss her crazy. The way she was a SAHD despite her parents wanting her to get a job and GTFO.

[GenerationCedarchip]

I was chatting with some church friends and the subject of DWP's ....erm...evolution came up. Part of me felt a little guilty gossiping, but I have to admit that I really do wonder about one thing  in particular. So far the Phillipses have (1) helped found and lead a reformed church that teaches patriarchy, stay-at-home daughterdom and a number of other controversial ideas and (2) when DWP's empire came crumbling down, they joined a more mainstream Southern Baptist church in Austin and (3) now they're going to a Foursquare church in Durango. The Foursquare churches are pentecostal and their theology is very different from what most reformed people hold to. And I'm not even touching DWP's European adventures here.

After teaching patriarchy in Vision Forum for so long, I can't help but wonder what this journey has been like for the children. Can you imagine what it must be like for them growing up at BCA and then suddenly hearing their parents don't believe any of that anymore? I wonder how this gets explained to the Phillips children and how it's affected them.
