Totally. Given how much this garbage was spewed on Doug's Blog, it's likely that the older kids -- especially Joshua & Justice -- got major doses of it growing up. One can certainly overcome that sort of environmental damage but it's hard work. I hope that they can succeed in it.

You're welcome -- just wish that I had more of it. At the time of Tool O'Ween, I was occupied with family things and so didn't do as systematic a job as I would have liked in saving all this shite. 

Given many fundies' propensity for pretending their past lives have nothing to do with their current ones, it's always a good idea to save, download or screen-capture stuff.

In a previous closed post you said you were unaware of the failed courtship between Wesley Strackbein and Melissa Keen (now Turley), here's the photo of them together while they were courting:

I've just hit on a gold mine blog- I found one that contains loads of photos of the VF crowd, and quite few of them at BCA itself, if anybody wants to view the PDFs, tell me, and I'll post again with all the PDFs :)

That would be interesting. You will have to convert PDFs to another format (e.g., JPEG or PNG) for posting here. Is there a link to the blog?

Thanks for this. I wonder how far it got since, IIRC, there was never a mention of it on Doug's Blog or elsewhere. By contrast, Melissa's courtship with & marriage to Justin Turley got major airtime.

My mom loved the original Rocky and Bullwinkle for that reason. She’d watch it with us, and she was constantly snickering at stuff that went right over our heads. Like Boris Badenov. I guess there’s an opera called Boris Gudonov? There was a lot more adult-level humor (maybe political? I don’t know) but that’s the only example I remember.

Pottsylvanian spy Boris Badenov - whose surname is a play on 16th-century Russian Tsar Boris Godunov - was an active member of Local 12 of the Villains, Thieves, and Scoundrels Union.

I wonder if he paid his dues on time.

There was a hat called the Kirwood Derby - a spoonerism of the name of TV personality Durward Kirby. Bullwinkle raced a boat called the Ruby Yacht of Omar Khayyam on a body of water called Veronica Lake.

A lot of the writing was aimed at adults, really. It was a mix of satire of current events, parody of other genres (spy films, melodrama, educational TV), pure silliness, and lots of groaner puns.

@thoughtful, thanks for the memory joggers!  As much as I loved R&B, I confess that until just now I never picked up on Veronica Lake or the Ruby Yacht ...

I seriously loved them, and also the professorial dog “and his boy, Sherman.”  I learned stuff from them!!!

Oh yes, Rocky and Bullwinkle, Boris and Natasha.   I loved the Fractured Fairy Tales too.

I would like to see these too.  I wasn't around during the VF heyday, so I missed all the golden snarkable materials.

I was talking about DP and vision forum on Reddit and someone said this " Doug Phillip's victim is thriving now! I have mutual friends with her and follow her public FB page. She's in school to become a fashion designer! " nice to know she survived DP

BTW: Has anyone any news on DP or Bradrick? Both seem to have gone silent on social media (or maybe this is artifact due to my poor search skills)

She also has a public Instagram account featuring some of her design projects: https://www.instagram.com/authenticlourdes/

Beall references him occasionally on her social media, but IIRC, there hasn't been a live Doug sighting in almost a year. He last showed up on his sister's IG last summer, in a group shot taken during their mother's 80th birthday celebrations.

Petey is still selling real estate. And still has a head shaped like a sippy cup.

Here, he tediously lists the many people (including his mom, and, I swear I'm not making this up, a cello player) he apparently required assistance from in order to sell a house:

If you can't make it to the end of the video (I don't blame you) he thanks "the Lord Jesus Christ" for "saving my soul two and a half years ago and saving me from destruction."

I take it that's some sort of reference to the circumstances surrounding his divorce, but I can't help wondering "if the Lord Jesus only "saved" you two and a half years ago, where the heck was he during the VF days?"

Conspicuously absent, it seems.  :pb_rollseyes:

Wow.  What a slap in the face to his parents.  I guess that "Raising Godly Children in an Ungodly World" philosophy didn't work out so well.

I've seen this so many times...evangelicals saying the reason for their affair/divorce/addiction/embezzling/whatever was because they were never REALLY saved.  COP-OUT.

Wow. Thank you for posting this. Lourdes looks stunning and so does her work. I think it is really impressive how far she has come inspite of all the things she had to live through.

I've always appreciated that Lourdes took her settlement $$ and went to college.  She started out in engineering, but switched over to fashion design.  IIRC, there was a brief marriage, and she got divorced and kept going.  

I really do wonder what Doug is up to.  If he were in the midst of some big project, he'd need to be doing PR to drum up interest.  Truly, I'm baffled.

If he's saved now what was he 10 years ago? Was he saved at his wedding to Kelly in 2006? Was he ever saved?

Boy, that's a whole lotta businesswomen! I guess New Jesus doesn't mind women working, unlike mean ol' Vision Forum Jesus.

This last link on @Laura2730's list is all about Peter and Kelly's wedding, and contains this gem: 

Quote

On the Lord's Day after the wedding, we journeyed again to the Brown's farm for a worship service. Two men, Doug Phillips and Jeff Pollard, preached excellent messages about manly friendship and I Timothy 1:5, respectively.

I’m sure that was a thrill a minute for the 50% of attendees who weren’t men.

Yes! And now that I’ve seen her Instagram, I finally realize who it is that Meghan Markle has always reminded me of.

Yeah when you compare how the situation she was in previously (shown in the links I posted), with what she has going on now, she's come so far! :)

Bradrick! fundy speak: "I almost had a normal life but "thank god" I was somehow sucked back into the fundy vortex death spiral of rigid belief. Subtext (and this is my opinion only): I was acting out my authentic gay/bisexual nature, but thank-you-jesus!, I'm now happily sexually repressed!" 

Also, with his kids with Kelly on the other side of the country, I'm guessing he's a de facto absent dad. 

I'm finding the whole thing, including Kelly's invisible marriage to godly man #2, unspeakably sad and tragic. I get a very, very bad vibe from Bradrick!'s replacement based on that one photo at a wedding and I desperately hope I'm wrong.  I'm guessing Kelly's in for, what, another 5 kids before this is all over?

Imma gonna go out on a limb here. I find Scottie Brown's belief system utterly twisted and abhorrent. However, he seems to be a kind person and is hopefully a kind grandfather to his grandkids.   My impression is that Kelly lives close or relatively close to the Brown family farm so hopefully the kids get to visit with and stay with their grandparents, which is especially important if their step father is an abusive a**hole.

Same here.  I feel so sorry for Peter and Kelly's kids.  How utterly confusing and traumatic...here's your wonderful life with your godly parents...WHOOPS Dad is a big sinner, we're moving far away and now you have a new Dad.

I hope Scott Brown is a caring grandparent as well, though I won't hold my breath.  I also will never give up my conviction that he's waaaaay in the back corner of the closet.

Both Scott and Deborah Brown have repeatedly pushed child beating in the form of "Biblical discipline." 

515054694_ScottBrownNCFICCrap.thumb.png.d93e7062b1cc555f088504cb5bf7e7d5.png

Among other things, this is about beating the shit out of little kids who are unable to sit still & silent through a long, boring Scott Brown sermon. Unless Kelly's new husband thinks differently, it seems unlikely that she could stand up to her parents' abusive methods on her own. As for her children's chances of being treated kindly by Scott & Deborah Brown, well, maybe -- if they toe the line, sit still, and shut their mouths while Papaw is bloviating at the pulpit. 

For the gajillionth time, why the fuck do fundie Christians even have kids if all they're going to do is beat them repeatedly and grind them down into subservient pulps?
