I use to have such a crush on him. He has become a reborn Christian Nut!

For those who never saw his YouTube video of him and the banana its a must see. Keep in mind, it is NOT a joke.

I love that the series is called "The Way of the Master." I was once in a video series with the same title, but the subject matter was very different.
Is it me or does Kirk look a little.....'distracted' in that banana video?

He looks good, I'll give him that. Batsh-t crazy fundamentalism agrees with him.
Apparently, during the last years of "Growing Pains," he had become such a fundamentalist nut that he didn't want his character to ever do anything that was a "sin," including stuff like lying to his parents, which of course was the polar opposite to the established character. He pretty much alienated himself from the entire cast.
Yes, and didn't he also get the actress who played the babysitter, Julie, fired as well? I think it had to do with her posing for photos or something.

*edited* i stand corrected by wikipedia. apparently he was atheist in his youth. Updated On: 9/22/09 at 10:31 AM
Didn't Candace become just as bad?
The actress who played Julie was a Playboy playmate
The 1989-1990 season was retconned out of existence as a dream of Mike Seaver's after Kirk Cameron insisted Julie McCullough be fired for posing for Playboy Magazine. Mr. Cameron later apologized for his actions. The season had ended on a cliffhanger where Mike asked Julie to marry him. Initially the character of Julie abandoned Mike at the altar; there was a backlash by fans and she was brought back later to reconcile. McCullough did not find out she was being fired until showing up to film what she thought was a wedding episode.

I never heard about Candace going batsh-t like him, but that's not to say she didn't. Maybe it was the Pritkin diet that made him see God.
So Kirk is upset that kids can longer pray openly in schools or at school functions? Guess he's not up on Matthew 6:1-8.

Candace is just as bad but not as in your face and obnoxious about it...at least she'll show up in the occasional mainstream TV show (ABC Family's "Make it or Break It."). People Magazine just did a story on the wine she and her husband produce.
Phyllis pretty much summed it up in the second post: cute but kwazee!

Oh, I had no idea about Candace. What about Michelle and Stephanie?
So, his latest venture is to go around and distribute 50,000 altered copies of "Origin of Species", to unsuspecting college students?
Hmmmm, doesn't that fly in the face of the 9th Commandment?
"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor."
Or this:
Proverbs 6:16 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him:
17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood,
18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,
19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
I wonder how this good Christian man justifies his lying.
Stephanie was at the Bob Saget roast, so I don't think she shares her television sister's prudishness.
But whatever happened to that really gay boy who was Michelle's friend? Did DJ send him off to Exodus International?

Stephanie was a meth head.
Well, in case anyone's wondering what another sitcom star, Mackenzie Phillips, is up to, check out Oprah today. She's supposedly going to reveal a family secret. Although, with everything we already know about her childhood, one can only wonder what could still be shocking.
Hey, Michelle's gay friend is John Hughes' son! (my curiosity got the better of me, so I looked it up)
He's also a Ron Paul fan.
The other friend was the little brother of the Sister Sister twins, wasn't he? Aren't they crazy Christians too?
Kid's blog
I watched his super horrible movie, Fireproof. I was expecting it to be bad and poorly made, but I wasn't expecting Kirk's character to be a porn addict. They never said it outright, but they just always referred to what he was doing on the computer. He ended up busting the computer with a baseball bat and throwing it out. Good times.

And thus answers the question: WWJD?

I love how the other guy in the banana video says "it even has a point at the tip for easy entry".
Wasn't Fireproof the one where he needed a stunt kisser because he refuses to kiss anyone but his wife, even while acting?
It makes you wonder why he even bothers to make movies.
Doesn't the fact that a banana fits perfectly in the hand speak more about our possible evolution from apes?
