Oh yeah, the E! True Hollywood Story of Growing Pains is easily one of the best of all time. They might as well call it 'When Kirkles Went Asshole: A Growing Pains' special. Seriously, when you have Alan Thicke calling you out, you have problems that only a long and addictive stretch of painkillers can solve/dull/blunt.

It's sad because I felt kind of bad for Kirkles somewhat during the ETHS. From what I recall he had some evil stalker threatening to kill him (we can only assume this man came from the future) and this made him flip out and he couldn't cope and then found Jesus.
So on one hand I feel bad about it because I don't think I could handle a stalker now and I especially don't think I could handle one when I was 14. On the other hand, just because someone wants to kill you there's no need to send everyone you meet to hell and be a big ass about it.
I blame his parents. He was certainly young enough that they could have deprogrammed him or something. But I guess they were just thankful he didn't pull a Cory Haim and get all addicted to the smack and start selling his hair on ebay.
Personally, I'd rather have the latter. Cory may be pathetic but at least he doesn't piss me off.

I have seen Bibleman and sadly, it's much more entertaining and less dogmatic than the Way of the Master. Did you see E True Hollywood story about Growing Pains? (I know, fascinating). Apparently, when Kirk found Jesus, he also found his inner asshole. I think the inner asshole was there all along, he just found the power of Christ.

I wish Way of the Master would do a segment in my town. I'd purposely go out there and see if I'd get handed a tract, then, in the guise of giving one back, I'd say, "Oh, here, I have one too!" Then, to everyone person who passed me a tract, I'd pass one of these. (Which I would have printed out by the ton the night before. Hehehehe...)

In the most recent Growing Pains movie, I noticed he had rather yellow teeth. Ewww. His website also has this quiz called "The Love Test" which has all these stupid questions like "If you saw someone walking towards the end of a cliff, what would you do?" and the choices are shit like "Pray for him, Suggest a better place for him to walk, Invite him to a barbecue, Show him the light of the Lord" or something like that. And when you get done taking it, there are no results! Like taking the Quiz is its own reward, or whatever. I don't think Kirk is as crazy as that Juanita Bynumthough--she's the craziest bitch on TBN. She tries to get people to hand all their money over to them by saying "If God can't trust you with a thousand, he'll never trust you with a million". Uh huh.

Did the Simpsons do a spoof of this recently? Homer sees a movie called "Left Below", (all the pure people taken to heaven and the sinners LEFT BELOW in a "hell-on-earth" type scenario) and is certain that the end of the world is nigh?
Ain't nuthing what can't be learned from a WB cartoon...."with my spear and magic HELmet..."
I went to a Catholic Girls School with a fundie. I told her I was an athiest and had no belief or concept of her God, heaven or hell. I was pretty promptly told that I'd been warned, and despite being given an opportunity, I had rejected God so I was going to hell.
Still to this day I wonder how it is my soul can be sent to a place that I don't believe exists! But I took Kirkles quiz and it turns out I'm fucked either way, so I'm going to lock in "no God".

I took Kirkle's quiz several months ago, and it was certainly worth a good laugh. I tried it both clicking "Christian" and "Not a Christian" and the difference was pretty funny.
Under "Christian", I chose all the "good" options, but according the the quiz, I was still heading for Hell because my name wasn't Kirk Cameron. It felt like even if I bought their "Way of the Master" books, DVDs, etc., I still had a one-way ticket to Hades. Not exactly a good marketing strategy.
Under "Not a Christian" - they didn't even bother to try to sell me their crap. It was pretty much "Yeah, you're going to straight to hell, you heathen. There's absolutely nothing you can do about it. Smell ya later..." Again, bad marketing strategy.
