Sam Taylor = delusional perverted hater Awww, you're all butthurt because a famous person called you out for your evil perverse lifestyle. Cameron isn't destroying your pathetic life, YOU are.
Huh? You left out that one is a delusional bigot that not only believes ancient superstitions, but also uses his "fame" to push them on the rest of us, and under the threat of eternal torture at that. Yeah, you kinda overlooked that one a little bit.
pbot27 YOU are the delusional bigot and you're just butthurt over one famous person's public expressions of faith that contradict your wicked behavior.
Sateen Dubois Wicked how? Delusional how? You sound just like Kirk. Demonstrate the truth of your claims or run along and play with the other children.
this TV shows was introduced to China around 1995, and it is absolutely beloved by my generation. We saw what a typical american family look like, the culture, the different way of educating kids. Everything was interesting to us. I watched it over and over again during the summer holidays until i move to Canada. Good to see them to sit together again. Just love this "family". I was quite sad when the show ended.....
Roseanne is more like a typical family. Roseanne worked in manufacturing and Dan did construction. The family struggled to pay the bills. I say welcome to America : )
Watching the show all these years later, it's still funny! It still works! Like many of you, I was fortunate to watch the show when it was originally airing. RIP Alan and Andy!
I love the manipulative editing in showing certain cast members nodding their heads to diferent parts of the interview than what is being said to make it look like they are agreeing.....they only fool the fools
Betty Dockens You took the words right out of my mouth! I thought that exact same thing. It's the liberal media's way of discrediting and demeaning something that one holds so dear. Ironically, I don't see the media demeaning Buddhism, Muslims, or any of THOSE beliefs; only Christianity. 🙍
Margui622 Finally someone who sees religion as man made. Something people don't seem to understand is a lot of the time who are religious is that when your a Christian you just simply believe and trust in God. You don't have to ask for forgiveness because he took care of that when he died on the cross.
It is funny how people who claim that Christians are anti-science are the ones who want say that you can be born one sex but really be another. How intellectual is that? How does that support scientific fact?
I think that's a "Canadian" thing; Canadians tend to be more mellow and low-key and polite compared to their cousins to the south. And Alan Thicke was 100% Canadian. I mean, the dude dropped dead in the middle of playing hockey...if that ain't "peak Canadian," I dunno what is. Maybe dying while playing hockey and enjoying a nice, cold bottle of Labatt's at the same time, you can't get much more Canadian than that.
I am not a hugely religious person, however you have to give Kirk huge credit. There were FAR worse things he could have been doing at 17 yrs old in Hollywood than going to church. He and his wife seem to be as solid as ever, and they have raised 6 children, several of them adopted and from different ethnic backgrounds. Good for him👍🏼
@Ac711 NO KIRK TURNED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM ALL OF YAHOSHUA TEACHINGS AS YAHOSHUA IS "THE WORD" GOD THE SECOND PERSON OF THE ELOHIM THE ONE THAT SPEAKS GOD THE FIRST PERSONS EVERY WILL--WANT. "THE WORD" WAS SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY AS WAS BE MADE FLESH AND IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED OF FOR THE JEWS AND ALL GENTILES. KIRK HAS MADE UP HIS OWN FALSE TEACHINGS AND HAS TURNED SOOOO MANY PEOPLE FROM YAHOSHUA'S TEACHINGS AND HAS THEM FOLLOWING--BELIEVING IN KIRK'S OWN CREATED NEW FALSE TEACHING THAT HE HAS IMPLEMENTED BITS AND PART OF OTHER PAGAN BELIEFS TO ONE BELIEF. CHRISTIAN'S ARE NOT 'RELIGIOUS' AS EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHSOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT THE ELOHIM' ARE NOT A RELIGION. A PERSON WHO COMPLETELY FOLLOWS DISCIPLE OF THE ONLY SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD IS NOT A RELIGIOUS A AS WE ARE NOT OF ANY OF SATAN'S RELIGIONS AS OF 1 EXAMPLE BEING THE RELIGION CATHOLICISM IS SATAN'S THEY NONE OF THEM ARE A CHILD OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
The Jupiter 2 bigots? Why is he a bigot? You do realize that he is the father of several adopted children who came from non-caucasian backgrounds, right? Bigoted against what exactly?
Considering she was only in like 48 of the 176 episodes I dont think she was a regular like the 5 main cast members that were in all 176 episodes (Except for Tracy Gold, she she wasnt in one episode so she was in 166). And she also didnt originally play the first Chrissy Seaver. The first one was played by two twins and only did 15 episodes each. Oh yeah, Ashley is one of my favorites on Blindspot.
Say what you will about Kirk, but I must say that I have total respect for him. Yeah, I'm a Christian, and I don't agree with everything he says or does, but then again, nobody agrees with everybody all the time. I do honestly think he's a good person with a good, kind heart and good intentions. I think he catches a lot of flack from people because he's not afraid of speaking his mind and expressing his beliefs, which are good things. As a fellow Christian, we need more people like him in the world. Maybe things wouldn't be in the state they are in right now with all the wars and people killing others if we had more people like him. I know I will probably be mocked and made fun of for this post, but I don't care. I've had too many things happen in my life for me to not believe there is a God. I know some will question how I can believe in something I can't see, but I will leave you with this thought: You can't see air, but you know it's there because you're breathing. Same for
+Robyn Wellman When Boner was having trouble and killed himself, I lost respect for Kirk. He had an opportunity to give God so much glory by going on a hunt for Boner. I know it was only a show and the friendship wasn't as close as the show, but then I have to ask what about the whole church culture..how fake or real is all that.. I watch that episode and it breaks my heart thinking about how ready he was to go that night. He must have felt so alone and anguished to take his life.
***** Well, 1st off it's God, not god..God is Jehova, god is baal or buddah or any other false idol...so When God says no, you just accept it as the answer. 2Cor1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."..so what he has promised us..it's a done deal..what we ask of or from him, it's up to Him to decide. He knows what's best for us, not us.
Kirk Cameron's latest bigoted and hateful remarks on "The Piers Morgan Show" about gays finally went so far over the line that at least two of the other cast members in the show "Growing Pains" felt obliged to speak up. Tracey Gold's comment made what she thought on the subject very clear: "I'm a strong supporter of the #LGBT community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE." She, also, posted a photo of herself with "NO H8" emblazoned on her cheek.
He said it was "unnatural" and "detrimental and destructive" to society. None of that is false. It is NOT natural. Stick the male end of an electrical cord to another male end and see what happens. Nothing. Same as with humans. Two males cannot make a child. Two females cannot make a child. Because...it's NOT NATURAL. Not having children DECREASES population - ding ding ding - which is "detrimental and destructive" to society. So...what Kirk said is true. Just goes against what you THINK is true. But...FACTS don't care about your OPINION. No matter how hard you stomp your feet.
Ashley Johnson aka Chrissy is missing. I guess possibly since the show featured her birth they didn't consider her to be one of the original characters or for Ashley Johnson to be one of the original cast members, but I think she should still be included in the reunion.
Kirk can believe whatever he wants to believe. I support his RIGHT to do so.
Před 9 lety+14
Erich Hoefert I support his right to do that, but I don't support his shoving his beliefs down other people's throats (and this is coming from a Christian).
Nobody is shoving anything down your throat! DON'T WATCH HIM! Presto- problem solved. But he ABSOLUTELY has the right to believe how he chooses to and to share his beliefs with those who are like-minded or who are interested. Just like you have the right to be a simple-minded, uneducated, hateful tool bag
@just because you say you are a ''Christian'' doesn't mean you are one. And by your comment I am guessing you have no idea what it means to follow Jesus Christ
@Loreen Baksh So when Kirk Cameron calls a percentage of the population unnatural and immoral, you cite his freedom of speech. But when people criticize him for what he said, you tell those people to leave him alone. Don't the criticizers have freedom of speech as well? Why don't you tell Kirk Cameron to be nice and leave the gays alone? Do you not see your hypocrisy?
Yes, he's a Christian of the disapproving, prudish, abstemious type, isn't he? Perhaps there's a backlash from some who assessed Kirk Cameron on his 'pretty boy' looks and consequently attributed certain characteristics based on that. He's certainly entitled to his views. I don't know why Christian absolutists have a woody for homosexuality. Why such a bee in the bonnet. Anyway, I'm in Australia and I sure enjoyed watching Growing Pains on tv about 1987-8.
Madam Fragger At what percentage do I get to start whining? If I advocate that you should be murdered slowly, then you shouldn't complain about it, right? After all, you're just 1 person out of 6 billion. An even smaller minority than gays. You seem to think that a majority oppressing a minority is okay. Do you not see your lack of morals? Do you not realize that it's people like you pushing people away from god by showing the true colors of christians?
I love Kirk Cameron! ❤️❤️❤️ His movie's Left Behind, Fireproof, Mercy Rule... So good! 👌👍💞 I just love him and his Love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ❤️❤️
People give Kirk a hard time. Maybe they would rather he be strung out on drugs, have been through several marriages, etc. Then maybe they would think he is cool.
All religious zealots seem very on edge and judgmental to me. God bless you, Kirk. I hope you can find it in your heart to accept people like me as human beings who deserve the same rights as you. I'm just living my life, trying to be a good person. I don't want to disrupt your life, just please don't disrupt mine. Thanks!
@@leslieroldan4207 YOU MUST BE THE ONLY PERSON WHO DID NOT KNOW OF THAT. HOW COULD THAT BE OF YOU HAVING TO NEVER KNOW THAT? ARE YOU ALSO ANOTHER WHO DOES NOT KNOW THAT OBAMA WAS NOT BORN ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND IS FULLY MUSLIM BELIEF AND HAS ORDERED THE KILLINGS OF SOOOOOO MANY IN OUR MILITARY??? THE ONLY LAW THAT HAS NEVER EVER BEEN BROKEN BEFORE IN THE HISTORY OF OUR GOD FORMED, SHAPED AND BUILT WITH ALL BELIEF OF THE POWER OF EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Everyone calling Kirk Cameron names is only calling him names because he is a Christian. If he had not been a Christian, no one would be saying anything about him.
That's because he only became a notoriously insufferable dick after he found religion. Not a great ringing endorsement for Christianity - quite the opposite.
NO KIRK HAS TURNED AWAY FROM YAHOSHUA'S DOCTRINE AND MADE UP HIS OWN BELIEF THAT SOOOO VERY MANY ARE FOLLOWING KIRK NOT THE ONLY LORD AND SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD YAHOSHUA WHOSE NAME I ABOVE ALL OF SATAN'S EVERY RELIGION, AS THE ELOHIM RE NOT A RELIGION AS THEY ARE NOT A RELIGION. IF HE DOES NOT TURNED ACK AND ASKS TO BE FORGIVEN AND FULLY REPENTS--CHANGES THE OLD WAYS OF HIS LIFE E WILL BE JOINING ALAN THICKE.
Kirk Cameron chose to work on what he believed in over all that he was tipped to become. He also married his wife young and they are still together. How many Hollywood stars can say that. I have so much respect for him.
Well that can only happen when someone finalky submit their life to Christ.. Kirk is a living witness that Jesus Christ is not a myth ;-) Who could make someone like him in his prime time as a very popular young actor.. a teenage and rich to leave all behind to pursue unseen God? Only Christ alone!
Mike Seaver was a trouble-making teen who often disobeyed his parents. When Kirk found Jeebus, he suddenly had a problem with the character. He’d say “we can’t have Mike do THIS, we can’t have Mike say THAT to his father, etc.” And the cast and crew naturally resented that. He was hired to play a role, not push religious beliefs. And as Thicke suggests, if you think the saccharine and benign GROWING PAINS sends an “evil” message, you’re in for a huge surprise on other TV and movie sets. Thankfully, I think Kirk is tamer now than when he first got religion, more measured in what he says; I like the gentle touch on Thicke’s shoulder with “No, I so appreciate what you’re saying; I want you to keep talking.”
@@dzerres It's a scientific and logical impossibility that nothing created everything. Atheism is nuts. And we don't talk to no-one. We talk to a person who also speaks.
half of this country is religious while more than 90% claim to believe in God or a higher power, so what is the big freakin deal about this one guy? even if you don't agree with what he preaches, at least look at the fact that he's a very happy person who has a very positive life and tries to spread positivity to others.
Kirk's cast members have had many issues with him dating back to the final season of the show when he became very religious, distanced himself from his cast members, refused to talk to them, stay in contact with them. Gold even refused to invite him to her wedding as he refused to invite any of the cast to his wedding. They were pretty outspoken against him following this interview, following his anti-gay comments and other crazy things he said. Cameron is such a horrible, hate filled person. He only cares about himself unless you share 100% the same views as he does. If not, well then clearly you are a sinner and will burn in hell. "Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's father on the family friendly sitcom Growing Pains, tweeted in response to Cameron calling homosexuality "unnatural" and "destructive" on Piers Morgan Tonight, writing "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything." That tweet followed a softer comment on Sunday night, in which Thicke tweeted, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's." "Tracy Gold, who played Cameron's Growing Pains sister, tweeted a rebuke of his comments on Sunday night, writing, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE" www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/alan-thicke-tweets-kirk-cameron-anti-gay-comments-growing-pains-296868 people.com/tv/kirk-camerons-feud-with-growing-pains-costar-tracey-gold-over-marriage-equality/ "Though Thicke claims he mailed a wedding invitation to his TV son, Gold makes no apologies for leaving Cameron off her 1994 invite list. "If I'd invited him, he probably wouldn't have come," says Gold, 31. "At the end, Kirk had drifted away from the show. When he got married during a summer hiatus up in New York, none of us were invited. He had pretty much made it clear he needed his separation from us." In the final seasons of "Growing Pains," Cameron found both God (though he rejects the label "born again") and a wife in on-screen love interest Chelsea Noble, who appears in the reunion as Mike's now-wife Kate. "I definitely kind of made an about-face, going toward another aspect of my life," admits Cameron. "I shifted my focus from 100% on the show, to 100% on [my new life], and left 0% on the show--and even the friendships that were a part of that show. If I could go back, I think I could make decisions that were less inadvertently hurtful to the cast--like talking and explaining to them why I just wanted to have my family at my wedding." Following the series' cancellation, Cameron made no attempt to maintain contact with his former co-stars. It had been eight years since he'd even spoken to Gold. " www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-fta-growing-pains-movie-20161213-story.html
Is this supposed to make one think LESS of him? If so, then it didn't work. I don't believe that he actually rejected the label of "born again", though. I'm sure that this was a misunderstanding.
I follow Ashley Johnson (who played Chrissy Seaver) on Twitter. I started going through all the follows one time and found that all the cast follows each other and many guests that were on the show, including Julie Mccullough........ they all follow each other, except for Kirk that is. He follows none of them and they don't follow him. Its just kind of weird to (despite the chumminess they act here) just cut out that large part of your life. I mean Ashley was just a kid on the show and wasn't on for nearly as long as the others, yet still keeps in touch with them all.
Fair enough. I guess I meant more that they seemed to try to be appearing more chummy than they actually are.Tried to hide the fact that he is so much not a part of the rest, but hiding it poorly. Though it also wouldn't be polite to talk openly or point at him.
They are all trying to keep things professional and also come to a friendly understanding at the same time. I believe that they are friendly to him and he is friendly to them back, but Kirk's views don't mesh well with the others, so it's best to keep a certain distance from him. Doesn't mean they hate him, but sometimes it's best to keep some people at a distance in order to maintain a certain level of friendliness towards them.
They all keep in touch. Alan said that Kirk would Skype him sometimes. He and Tracey talk on the phone. They recently were on Kathie Lee and Hoda playing a game with his sister Candace and Jodie Sweetin. He was one of the first to tweet about Alan's death and wished Joanna good wishes during her cancer struggle. Just because he doesn't follow them on Twitter doesn't mean they don't keep in touch. They were all at Alan's funeral as well.
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and at what point did this turn into a gay, atheist, agnostic, liberal lets bash on Kirk Cameron Thread, Jesus Christ, hey if the guy doesn't approve of gays fine. at least hes not dead from an overdose like river phoenix, or is a drug or sex addict live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face. It bothers me to no end how the gays talk about their "rights" being gay does not mean you get special rights under the law, we all have individual rights under the constitution. it seems to me that this " gay rights agenda is just a thinly veiled attempt at getting gay people the status of a "race".
But his opinion on not approving homosexuality makes him a bigoted, homophobic, spaghetti-monster loving idiot. Just because he didn't "turn Hollywood" at 17 and went religious instead? He STILL became a hypnotized, herded sheep.
You are ill informed. "... live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face." - thats exactly what kirk and his friend ray comfort do. The thing about rights is not that they are arguing for different rights, just the same ones afforded to everyone else. If you cannot get that you may need to think on it a bit more.
The only "agenda" gay people have is what they're going to have for breakfast in the morning or what show to watch on TV after work. Gay people just want to be able to live their lives like everyone else. Being gay isn't a choice. People are born gay. No one would ever choose to be bullied, tortured, ostracized, disowned by family, refused service at a business or restaurant, evicted from their homes, fired from their jobs or even murdered simply for being who they are!!
Ransik Christians are not homophobes, That's about as ridiculous as saying gays are hetrophobes. We believe in God and His Word, it takes faith to believe in God and Christians have that faith. If you don't believe that's your decision, but don't bash someone who does
Okay, I didn't read all of the statements, so sorry if this has already been brought up, but where in the Hell does Growing Pains get the title of first family of the 80s? I'm pretty sure that that the Huxtables rocked that one.
The Cosby show was good for the first season, but then it got to sweet-see-cutie-see. And knowing what I know now, I will never watch Bill Cosby again.
Besides, it was "Growing Pains" a family sitcom, what was the worst thing they were going to have him do? And its not like they were going to portray that thing in a positive light. When you see an actor play a murderer on criminal minds, or a rapist on csi or a pedophile on law & order. We know its an actor portraying a character. If no one was willing to do anything immoral on tv, we'd have no tv but infommercials. Those actors understand: its a part, a job, it doesnt change who they are
I do NOT like how people say "he found religion" when talking about them giving their lives to the Lord. It apparently is very unpopular and uncomfortable to just flat out say "he accepted the Lord and decided to walk in the truth"...I saw how Candace Cameron was shut up on The View and how the camera rarely went on her. It's just so typical.
+LauraBeth Scibetta there are plenty of other sites on the internet explaining about the meaning of the word religion but I will just say that when I was Catholic I was religious. I am not Catholic and have renounced it. I have a spiritual relationship with my Lord. I am not bound to Him. I choose to follow His ways and no, it's not the same as religion.
+LauraBeth Scibetta " heaccepted the lord and decided to walk in truth." thats one opinion, another could br "he annoyed castmates that believed differently then him, as well as threatened cast and crew members, who chose not to believe in a god, with losing their jobs. the guy is a major league creep.
It's weird how they refer to Kirk as "having found religion" as if he's in some strange underground cult. He's a Christian! This country was founded on Christian morals, why is it so taboo just to say "Kirk's a Christian." There's nothing weird about that. Good for him. He's a good man and follows his heart.
+Evil Eye Gypsy Well, Kirk is a complete douchebag asshole. He had people fired from the show due to his nutcase beliefs and nastiness. He made life hell for the staff on the show according to a few people who worked on the sitcom.
Kirk Cameron made the best decision anyone could ever make, when this life is all said and done most of us are going to wish that we had made the same decision to put God first..
In January 2011, New Jersey passed one of the toughest anti-bullying laws: "Public school teachers, school staff members, and administrators will have required training on how to properly handle incidents of harassment. Faculty and staff will be required to report all incidents of bullying, inside and outside of school, and administrators who do not act on reports of bullying will be disciplined. Furthermore, students who harass other students will be punished for their actions."
wait a minute, wo hold up, before we even get into it, the Seavers are first family of the 80's? No. If you are going to name a TV "first family of the '80's" it would be the Huxtables. Okay proceed.
Actheman1978 No it doesn't matter, because the shows aren't on the air anymore. Why would ABC care so much about promoting a show that's not earning them any money?
Because they are not going to give free advertising and dvd sales to an NBC or CBS show. Think about it. That's like Calvin Klein talking up an old Polo line. This 80's show thing was probably just a way to see if reunion specials could net them some more ad revenue.
"You can't do anything unless that person seeks help" a) you could reach out and talk to the person b) if you're too timid or if he rejects, then notify his family of your concerns so ppl closer to him can reach out. c) I'm not really his brother; in fact, I don't remember making this comment. I'm usually just a troll, but this video touched a nerve so i thought i'd infuse some genuine melodrama into my usual rabblerousing At any rate, you sound like a good person, thanks for responding.
Too bad Leo isn't there, this was where he got his start and it would be interesting to see him back with the Seaver family. I do wonder if there was any tension between Leo and Kirk based on their beliefs?
Of course they don't. Even seemingly nice and "good" people have no interest in actual biblical truth because they are blind to it and can't understand it unless the Lord reveals it to them. It's what separates The One True Gospel from defiled and pointless religion. It has to be revealed by Him to the one upon whom He bestows His mercy. However, it also true that if anyone seeks they will find, but you have keep seeking and let Him decide when He is ready to reveal Himself to you. So many "good" people will read this and criticize this because do not even understand that they don't understand.
+jediprettyboy your that guy that would have worshipped Apollo and Zeus centuries ago. That's how deranged the human mind can be when it comes to religion.
+WontB Quiet TY. They did the same thing with Candace Cameron on The View. The camera rarely pans on her and when she tries to talk they cut her off or shoot down her viewpoint.
+LauraBeth Scibetta They treated Candace pretty well, actually. She and Nicole Wallace were certainly the Republican stand-ins, but they both got a really good reception in comparison with their predecessor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies ideologically disagree with Candace, sure, but they treated her very well in comparison with Hasselbeck. That's mostly because Cameron is being sincere and Hasselbeck was serving as a propaganda machine, but that's beside the point.
so your saying he is allowed to believe what he wants but he isnt allowed to talk about it?! but you are of course allowed to talk about what you believe. people are so ignorant sometimes
I knew a "Kirk Cameron" a childhood classmate, once called him a friend. This was from '98 -05. Hate televangelist type people who put themselves upon everyone, he's probably gay. Tracy Gold is the great human spirit of the group.
True Christianity is NOT a "religion". It is a personal relationship with the Living God, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the work He did on the cross at Mt. Calvary over 2,000 years ago.
They should have also had the little girl who played Chris Seaver on the show, for the interview too. True, she didn't join the cast until later, but, she was still a member of the Seaver family.
Kirk was a talented actor & the show was awesome back in the day. We may not agree with his religion but it is not our life & it is his life so he has the right to be a Christian or not, the bottom line is u cant tell other ppl what to do with there life's we may not like it but it's there right to choose what is best for them.
I'm not a religious person but it's hilarious and at the same time SAD how some people get so offended by it. Take this clown *lurch321*... he's so utterly offended that Kirk would dare share his beliefs with other people and goes on to call him a douchebag when it's clear who the real douchebag is here... lol. The bottom line is religion helps a lot of people live a better life because it gives them certain guidelines on how to get through life and be happy, at least for them. If losers like *lurch321* don't want or need that in their life that's fine & dandy but the truly interesting aspect to this is how most religious people aren't bothered when people like lurch don't believe what they do yet people like lurch come absolutely UNGLUED if you don't believe how THEY do (no God, afterlife, etc). People like *lurch321* are totally incapable of just allowing people to believe in whatever helps THEM have or live a better life and are rather strangely compelled to talk shit about religious people while religious folks are more than happy to simply allow "lurch people" to believe whatever they want and live their lives however they want. So basically you have one group who is content to just let people live and believe whatever helps you have a better life while the other group feels compelled to dictate how and what others should or shouldn't believe in. Really illustrates who is who when you look at it the way things *really* are....
Mr. Allen C. Sokolik Jr. The problem with him is he tries to push his view as influence. He advertises a form of bigotry and tries to use it for a conversion. It goes far beyond simple opinion when you spend your days, money, and career on trying to tell the rest of us what is right and wrong because of a book you follow. It's kind of a sickness.
Mike Hawk I don't really give a frogs fat ass about Kirk Cameron's conversion, except for when it comes to Andrew Koenig, whom he never lifted one finger to help. Kirk's religion has pretty much nothing to do with his conversion, despite his christanity, he is a douche. I'm very happy he has found something that he claims has made him delirously happy, I just wish his happines didn't come with the price of hurting others.
When people go through traumatic experiences and feel very alone, what could be more comforting than believing that there is someone you can talk to that always listens and loves you and cares? I am an atheist but I understand that fundamental religion is a balm. I have no problem with the religious until they use their beliefs to hurt others. I don't believe that they want to hurt people but you have to keep the baby AND the bathwater if you take a bronze aged book literally.
+Anthony Bumbrey well according to you... and jesus was a total myth, cobbled together from a dozen or so much older myths... but you just keep believing in your particular god, because due to your family history/birthplace, your god, is the -right one. .
I admire Kirk Cameron for his boldess. We shall see how funny this all is whe we leave this earth and see God face to face. Many people have claimed not to believe in God. Later on they get into a negative situation and wish they did believe.
good for kirk. He didnt sell his soul just to be famous or liked. He did what he thought was the right thing to do. Maybe other actors went on to be bigger than him (in Hollyweird world) but I bet you anything he's actually happy and fulfilled and def never got into anything weird etc
I think the best part about the banana videotape, is Kirk's sitting next to Ray, and idioticly laughing at everything Ray said, just like a dutiful girlfriend.
Cameron's fellow cast members are way too kind. His decision to reject scripts that portrayed Mike Seaver as the character he had already played for 5 years, and that fans loved put the entire show in jeopardy. He selfishly decided that he was too good to play an average teenager, and could only from then on play Kirk Cameron.
Kirk knows his scripture, unlike many professed christians knows his scripture. MOVIE "Unstoppable" on September 24th! The trailer is out, please watch, for many have questions, few give an answer. Evil prospers when good do nothing.
Of the five main characters, no one's on drugs, in jail or dead. I think that's success.
Sam Taylor = delusional perverted hater

Demonstrate the truth of your claims or run along and play with the other children.
this TV shows was introduced to China around 1995, and it is absolutely beloved by my generation. We saw what a typical american family look like, the culture, the different way of educating kids. Everything was interesting to us. I watched it over and over again during the summer holidays until i move to Canada. Good to see them to sit together again. Just love this "family". I was quite sad when the show ended.....
typical white family not typical American family.
Not really a typical real life family but a typical family sitcom family.
Roseanne is more like a typical family. Roseanne worked in manufacturing and Dan did construction. The family struggled to pay the bills. I say welcome to America : )

The best wholesome show ever made.. This show will keep you grounded
Fireproof was great movie he should be proud to have his soulmate looks and well grounded
you know that was a movie STARRING Kirk Cameron, ya know..... 🙄
yep great movie!
I thank God for a wonderful show like, Growing Pains.
Watching the show all these years later, it's still funny! It still works! Like many of you, I was fortunate to watch the show when it was originally airing. RIP Alan and Andy!
I miss this show!
Me too! I miss that show and other shows like that. Netflix series are lost on me.
I love the manipulative editing in showing certain cast members nodding their heads to diferent parts of the interview than what is being said to make it look like they are agreeing.....they only fool the fools
There is a point when faith becomes madness.
I really enjoyed this interview the cast is so down to earth !
Why do you keep saying finding religion? He found faith!
Yes, Religious is a man -made stuff. Not faith. I'm glad Kirk found faith.
Betty Dockens You took the words right out of my mouth! I thought that exact same thing. It's the liberal media's way of discrediting and demeaning something that one holds so dear. Ironically, I don't see the media demeaning Buddhism, Muslims, or any of THOSE beliefs; only Christianity. 🙍
Margui622 Finally someone who sees religion as man made. Something people don't seem to understand is a lot of the time who are religious is that when your a Christian you just simply believe and trust in God. You don't have to ask for forgiveness because he took care of that when he died on the cross.
hahaha. That's rich.
Kailey Llewellyn Read the Lord's prayer. Forgive us our transgressions.
Kirks choice for God is powerful
You spelt 'pitiful' wrong.
A worthless p.o.s.! His holier-than-thou attitude turned me off from the show.
Yes..cults are powerful!
Loved him then and love him now. Not just for his acting, but for standing up in faith for what/Who he believes in. Thanks Kirk.
Dickhead
he is also a trump supporter
It is funny how people who claim that Christians are anti-science are the ones who want say that you can be born one sex but really be another. How intellectual is that? How does that support scientific fact?
he's a brainwashed pig.
You're the type that falls for some idiotic "religion", that's exactly who they targeted 2000 years ago and it still works. Congratulations, pig.
I really like Kirk and Candace
their careers reveal great
things about them :)
Like how it's hard for a child actor to find work after a sitcom.
Like how they think they're superior to the rest of us mere mortals?
Monique Thornton Huh?
god i loved this show when i was a kid... watching this clip brings me right back there... i want to watch an episode now!
I took so much for granted in the 80s. Tv was actually like this.
Kirk Cameron is the one "Hollywood" guy that actually stands up for what he believes in!!
HE FOUND CHRIST JESUS, HE WAS SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD. JOHN 3:16
LOL. Fairy tale.

"strong faith" versus "blind insanity". Tomato, toma(h)to.
@@dzerresMy faith in God is based on evidence. It us scientifically and logically impossible that nothing created everything.
I truly can say I miss the 80s & 90s...
my fav show grew up
Alan Thicke has such tact, RIP.
He ruined an already crap show.
I think that's a "Canadian" thing; Canadians tend to be more mellow and low-key and polite compared to their cousins to the south. And Alan Thicke was 100% Canadian.
I mean, the dude dropped dead in the middle of playing hockey...if that ain't "peak Canadian," I dunno what is. Maybe dying while playing hockey and enjoying a nice, cold bottle of Labatt's at the same time, you can't get much more Canadian than that.
I am not a hugely religious person, however you have to give Kirk huge credit. There were FAR worse things he could have been doing at 17 yrs old in Hollywood than going to church. He and his wife seem to be as solid as ever, and they have raised 6 children, several of them adopted and from different ethnic backgrounds. Good for him👍🏼
@Ac711 NO KIRK TURNED COMPLETELY AWAY FROM ALL OF YAHOSHUA TEACHINGS AS YAHOSHUA IS "THE WORD" GOD THE SECOND PERSON OF THE ELOHIM THE ONE THAT SPEAKS GOD THE FIRST PERSONS EVERY WILL--WANT. "THE WORD" WAS SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN TO FULFILL THE PROPHECY AS WAS BE MADE FLESH AND IS THE PROMISED MESSIAH--CHRIST--ANOINTED ONE THAT WAS PROPHESIED OF FOR THE JEWS AND ALL GENTILES. KIRK HAS MADE UP HIS OWN FALSE TEACHINGS AND HAS TURNED SOOOO MANY PEOPLE FROM YAHOSHUA'S TEACHINGS AND HAS THEM FOLLOWING--BELIEVING IN KIRK'S OWN CREATED NEW FALSE TEACHING THAT HE HAS IMPLEMENTED BITS AND PART OF OTHER PAGAN BELIEFS TO ONE BELIEF. CHRISTIAN'S ARE NOT 'RELIGIOUS' AS EL SHADDAI--GOD ALMIGHTY, YAHSOSHUA, AND THE RUACH HOKADESH--THE HOLY SPIRIT THE ELOHIM' ARE NOT A RELIGION. A PERSON WHO COMPLETELY FOLLOWS DISCIPLE OF THE ONLY SAVIOUR FOR THE WORLD IS NOT A RELIGIOUS A AS WE ARE NOT OF ANY OF SATAN'S RELIGIONS AS OF 1 EXAMPLE BEING THE RELIGION CATHOLICISM IS SATAN'S THEY NONE OF THEM ARE A CHILD OF GOD ALMIGHTY.
nope, no respect for religious bigots.
Eliana Miller that was so full of double speak and jibberish that I am not even going to try to decipher it.
The Jupiter 2 bigots? Why is he a bigot? You do realize that he is the father of several adopted children who came from non-caucasian backgrounds, right? Bigoted against what exactly?
NO respect for hateful religious bigots.
Where was Ashley Johnson (aka- Chrissy Seaver) for this reunion. She, too, was a part of the family for a season or more.
Considering she was only in like 48 of the 176 episodes I dont think she was a regular like the 5 main cast members that were in all 176 episodes (Except for Tracy Gold, she she wasnt in one episode so she was in 166). And she also didnt originally play the first Chrissy Seaver. The first one was played by two twins and only did 15 episodes each. Oh yeah, Ashley is one of my favorites on Blindspot.
And Leo?!
Chrissy was born during the series, and magically became a six year old in the last season.
@@pringle584 I think it was just supposed to be the actors who played the Seavers, but Ashley Johnson should have been included.
Jack Kircher Ashley Johnson co-starred with Jaimie Alexander on the NBC series, “Blindspot.”
Say what you will about Kirk, but I must say that I have total respect for him. Yeah, I'm a Christian, and I don't agree with everything he says or does, but then again, nobody agrees with everybody all the time. I do honestly think he's a good person with a good, kind heart and good intentions. I think he catches a lot of flack from people because he's not afraid of speaking his mind and expressing his beliefs, which are good things. As a fellow Christian, we need more people like him in the world. Maybe things wouldn't be in the state they are in right now with all the wars and people killing others if we had more people like him. I know I will probably be mocked and made fun of for this post, but I don't care. I've had too many things happen in my life for me to not believe there is a God. I know some will question how I can believe in something I can't see, but I will leave you with this thought: You can't see air, but you know it's there because you're breathing. Same for
me with God. I can't see Him, but I know He's there.
+Robyn Wellman When Boner was having trouble and killed himself, I lost respect for Kirk. He had an opportunity to give God so much glory by going on a hunt for Boner. I know it was only a show and the friendship wasn't as close as the show, but then I have to ask what about the whole church culture..how fake or real is all that.. I watch that episode and it breaks my heart thinking about how ready he was to go that night. He must have felt so alone and anguished to take his life.
+Robyn Wellman I know He is real because we talk constantly and He answers
***** Well, 1st off it's God, not god..God is Jehova, god is baal or buddah or any other false idol...so When God says no, you just accept it as the answer. 2Cor1:20 "For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us."..so what he has promised us..it's a done deal..what we ask of or from him, it's up to Him to decide. He knows what's best for us, not us.
huh? Who is Jay Lacky and why am I being called that?
Kirk Cameron's latest bigoted and hateful remarks on "The Piers Morgan Show" about gays finally went so far over the line that at least two of the other cast members in the show "Growing Pains" felt obliged to speak up.
Tracey Gold's comment made what she thought on the subject very clear:
"I'm a strong supporter of the #LGBT community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE."
She, also, posted a photo of herself with "NO H8" emblazoned on her cheek.
He said it was "unnatural" and "detrimental and destructive" to society. None of that is false. It is NOT natural. Stick the male end of an electrical cord to another male end and see what happens. Nothing. Same as with humans. Two males cannot make a child. Two females cannot make a child. Because...it's NOT NATURAL. Not having children DECREASES population - ding ding ding - which is "detrimental and destructive" to society. So...what Kirk said is true. Just goes against what you THINK is true. But...FACTS don't care about your OPINION. No matter how hard you stomp your feet.
Ashley Johnson aka Chrissy is missing. I guess possibly since the show featured her birth they didn't consider her to be one of the original characters or for Ashley Johnson to be one of the original cast members, but I think she should still be included in the reunion.
Kirk can believe whatever he wants to believe. I support his RIGHT to do so.
Erich Hoefert I support his right to do that, but I don't support his shoving his beliefs down other people's throats (and this is coming from a Christian).
Do you support my right to believe that he's a pillock, as well? I do hope so.
lurch321 he’s not shoving he’s expressing
Nobody is shoving anything down your throat! DON'T WATCH HIM! Presto- problem solved. But he ABSOLUTELY has the right to believe how he chooses to and to share his beliefs with those who are like-minded or who are interested. Just like you have the right to be a simple-minded, uneducated, hateful tool bag
@just because you say you are a ''Christian'' doesn't mean you are one. And by your comment I am guessing you have no idea what it means to follow Jesus Christ
@Loreen Baksh
So when Kirk Cameron calls a percentage of the population unnatural and immoral, you cite his freedom of speech.
But when people criticize him for what he said, you tell those people to leave him alone.
Don't the criticizers have freedom of speech as well? Why don't you tell Kirk Cameron to be nice and leave the gays alone?
Do you not see your hypocrisy?
Yes, he's a Christian of the disapproving, prudish, abstemious type, isn't he? Perhaps there's a backlash from some who assessed Kirk Cameron on his 'pretty boy' looks and consequently attributed certain characteristics based on that. He's certainly entitled to his views. I don't know why Christian absolutists have a woody for homosexuality. Why such a bee in the bonnet. Anyway, I'm in Australia and I sure enjoyed watching Growing Pains on tv about 1987-8.
weskitten
I don't see how your reply is relevant to the original comment.
It's a small percentage, quit your whining.
Madam Fragger
At what percentage do I get to start whining?
If I advocate that you should be murdered slowly, then you shouldn't complain about it, right? After all, you're just 1 person out of 6 billion. An even smaller minority than gays.
You seem to think that a majority oppressing a minority is okay. Do you not see your lack of morals? Do you not realize that it's people like you pushing people away from god by showing the true colors of christians?
sleazybtd
sexual orientation is WAY off from murdering and taking someone's life.. please try a different argument.
I loved this show when I was growing up.
I love Kirk Cameron! ❤️❤️❤️ His movie's Left Behind, Fireproof, Mercy Rule... So good! 👌👍💞 I just love him and his Love for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. ❤️❤️
Me too
Me too! 😉
Kirk, keep shinning your light for Christ!! NO MATTER what ANYbody says!! 👏👏👏👏👏
I saw those movies and damnnn they're mediocre at best.
Why the little sister chrissy is never interviewed with them?
People give Kirk a hard time. Maybe they would rather he be strung out on drugs, have been through several marriages, etc. Then maybe they would think he is cool.
+zotta1 I make my own soy.
I don't think anyone will ever think Kirk Cameron is cool.
All religious zealots seem very on edge and judgmental to me.
God bless you, Kirk. I hope you can find it in your heart to accept people like me as human beings who deserve the same rights as you. I'm just living my life, trying to be a good person. I don't want to disrupt your life, just please don't disrupt mine. Thanks!
They are really like a family.
Kirk is amazing God Bless always

do you believed that i have watches all 7 seasons for like more than 50 times 😂
Everyone calling Kirk Cameron names is only calling him names because he is a Christian. If he had not been a Christian, no one would be saying anything about him.
That's because he only became a notoriously insufferable dick after he found religion. Not a great ringing endorsement for Christianity - quite the opposite.
Jason Gates Kirk is called names because he's a religious wacko. Not because he's religious.
There are plenty of religious people I really admire. Kirk Cameron is a moron.
Nah... it's because he's a douchey self-righteous idiot who thinks he's really smart.
Who in the cast wasn't?
They weren't the first family of 80's TV that goes to "Family Ties" w Michael J Fox

The Truth It’s sad your name is the truth yet you say these false things
Kirk Cameron chose to work on what he believed in over all that he was tipped to become. He also married his wife young and they are still together. How many Hollywood stars can say that. I have so much respect for him.
Well that can only happen when someone finalky submit their life to Christ.. Kirk is a living witness that Jesus Christ is not a myth ;-) Who could make someone like him in his prime time as a very popular young actor.. a teenage and rich to leave all behind to pursue unseen God? Only Christ alone!
[cough] Crocoduck.
@@therose7871 that's your proof? "blind devotion"? Sorry, most people want a bit more evidence to guide their life.
I am happy for Kirk getting saved born again
Way to go, Kirk!
Secular Progressive Liberal Humanist how very kind and opened minded of you. Remember to be nice to people.
Mike Seaver was a trouble-making teen who often disobeyed his parents. When Kirk found Jeebus, he suddenly had a problem with the character. He’d say “we can’t have Mike do THIS, we can’t have Mike say THAT to his father, etc.” And the cast and crew naturally resented that. He was hired to play a role, not push religious beliefs. And as Thicke suggests, if you think the saccharine and benign GROWING PAINS sends an “evil” message, you’re in for a huge surprise on other TV and movie sets. Thankfully, I think Kirk is tamer now than when he first got religion, more measured in what he says; I like the gentle touch on Thicke’s shoulder with “No, I so appreciate what you’re saying; I want you to keep talking.”
They had the best theme songs in the 80's
You think that calling an entire group of people "Unnatural" isn't hate speech?
The father wrote the Diff'rent Strokes theme song.
kirk Cameron gots the same interests I do so he walks to the only person who can give him those answers god just as I do god bless you kirk cameron
talking to no one usually means someone is nuts.
@@dzerres It's a scientific and logical impossibility that nothing created everything. Atheism is nuts.
And we don't talk to no-one. We talk to a person who also speaks.
The first 80s family were the keatons from family ties
half of this country is religious while more than 90% claim to believe in God or a higher power, so what is the big freakin deal about this one guy? even if you don't agree with what he preaches, at least look at the fact that he's a very happy person who has a very positive life and tries to spread positivity to others.
He spreads lies.
"Will only take work that keeps with his Christian beliefs."
So, is that why we haven't seen Kirk in 20 years?
Kirk's cast members have had many issues with him dating back to the final season of the show when he became very religious, distanced himself from his cast members, refused to talk to them, stay in contact with them. Gold even refused to invite him to her wedding as he refused to invite any of the cast to his wedding. They were pretty outspoken against him following this interview, following his anti-gay comments and other crazy things he said. Cameron is such a horrible, hate filled person. He only cares about himself unless you share 100% the same views as he does. If not, well then clearly you are a sinner and will burn in hell.
"Thicke, who played Kirk Cameron's father on the family friendly sitcom Growing Pains, tweeted in response to Cameron calling homosexuality "unnatural" and "destructive" on Piers Morgan Tonight, writing "I'm getting him some new books. The Old Testament simply can't be expected to explain everything." That tweet followed a softer comment on Sunday night, in which Thicke tweeted, "I'll address kirk's comments as soon as I recover from rush limbaugh's."
"Tracy Gold, who played Cameron's Growing Pains sister, tweeted a rebuke of his comments on Sunday night, writing, "I am a strong supporter of the #LGBT Community, and I believe in equal rights for all. #NOH8 #LOVE"

people.com/tv/kirk-camerons-feud-with-growing-pains-costar-tracey-gold-over-marriage-equality/
"Though Thicke claims he mailed a wedding invitation to his TV son, Gold makes no apologies for leaving Cameron off her 1994 invite list. "If I'd invited him, he probably wouldn't have come," says Gold, 31. "At the end, Kirk had drifted away from the show. When he got married during a summer hiatus up in New York, none of us were invited. He had pretty much made it clear he needed his separation from us." In the final seasons of "Growing Pains," Cameron found both God (though he rejects the label "born again") and a wife in on-screen love interest Chelsea Noble, who appears in the reunion as Mike's now-wife Kate. "I definitely kind of made an about-face, going toward another aspect of my life," admits Cameron. "I shifted my focus from 100% on the show, to 100% on [my new life], and left 0% on the show--and even the friendships that were a part of that show. If I could go back, I think I could make decisions that were less inadvertently hurtful to the cast--like talking and explaining to them why I just wanted to have my family at my wedding." Following the series' cancellation, Cameron made no attempt to maintain contact with his former co-stars. It had been eight years since he'd even spoken to Gold. "
www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/la-et-st-fta-growing-pains-movie-20161213-story.html
Is this supposed to make one think LESS of him? If so, then it didn't work.
I don't believe that he actually rejected the label of "born again", though. I'm sure that this was a misunderstanding.
Get a life.
It's awesome that he does what he loves
I follow Ashley Johnson (who played Chrissy Seaver) on Twitter. I started going through all the follows one time and found that all the cast follows each other and many guests that were on the show, including Julie Mccullough........ they all follow each other, except for Kirk that is. He follows none of them and they don't follow him. Its just kind of weird to (despite the chumminess they act here) just cut out that large part of your life. I mean Ashley was just a kid on the show and wasn't on for nearly as long as the others, yet still keeps in touch with them all.
+Logan B I honestly did not see "chumminess" here at all between Kirk and the others. I see that he feels very much NOT a part of the rest of them.
Fair enough. I guess I meant more that they seemed to try to be appearing more chummy than they actually are.Tried to hide the fact that he is so much not a part of the rest, but hiding it poorly. Though it also wouldn't be polite to talk openly or point at him.
They are all trying to keep things professional and also come to a friendly understanding at the same time. I believe that they are friendly to him and he is friendly to them back, but Kirk's views don't mesh well with the others, so it's best to keep a certain distance from him. Doesn't mean they hate him, but sometimes it's best to keep some people at a distance in order to maintain a certain level of friendliness towards them.
They all keep in touch. Alan said that Kirk would Skype him sometimes. He and Tracey talk on the phone. They recently were on Kathie Lee and Hoda playing a game with his sister Candace and Jodie Sweetin. He was one of the first to tweet about Alan's death and wished Joanna good wishes during her cancer struggle. Just because he doesn't follow them on Twitter doesn't mean they don't keep in touch. They were all at Alan's funeral as well.
best sit com ever, thks for the good moments, God blesses you all!!
This was one of my favorite shows when I was a kid, and at what point did this turn into a gay, atheist, agnostic, liberal lets bash on Kirk Cameron Thread, Jesus Christ, hey if the guy doesn't approve of gays fine. at least hes not dead from an overdose like river phoenix, or is a drug or sex addict live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face.
It bothers me to no end how the gays talk about their "rights" being gay does not mean you get special rights under the law, we all have individual rights under the constitution. it seems to me that this " gay rights agenda is just a thinly veiled attempt at getting gay people the status of a "race".
Well said, You are so right!!!
But his opinion on not approving homosexuality makes him a bigoted, homophobic, spaghetti-monster loving idiot. Just because he didn't "turn Hollywood" at 17 and went religious instead? He STILL became a hypnotized, herded sheep.
You are ill informed.
"... live your damn life the way you want to live, as long as you don't intrude or get into someone else's face." - thats exactly what kirk and his friend ray comfort do.
The thing about rights is not that they are arguing for different rights, just the same ones afforded to everyone else. If you cannot get that you may need to think on it a bit more.
The only "agenda" gay people have is what they're going to have for breakfast in the morning or what show to watch on TV after work. Gay people just want to be able to live their lives like everyone else. Being gay isn't a choice. People are born gay. No one would ever choose to be bullied, tortured, ostracized, disowned by family, refused service at a business or restaurant, evicted from their homes, fired from their jobs or even murdered simply for being who they are!!
Ransik Christians are not homophobes, That's about as ridiculous as saying gays are hetrophobes. We believe in God and His Word, it takes faith to believe in God and Christians have that faith. If you don't believe that's your decision, but don't bash someone who does
A. Boy in Shanghai in 80s glued to the show..a Fantastic and homy show
Okay, I didn't read all of the statements, so sorry if this has already been brought up, but where in the Hell does Growing Pains get the title of first family of the 80s? I'm pretty sure that that the Huxtables rocked that one.
The Cosby show was good for the first season, but then it got to sweet-see-cutie-see.
And knowing what I know now, I will never watch Bill Cosby again.
Besides, it was "Growing Pains" a family sitcom, what was the worst thing they were going to have him do? And its not like they were going to portray that thing in a positive light. When you see an actor play a murderer on criminal minds, or a rapist on csi or a pedophile on law & order. We know its an actor portraying a character. If no one was willing to do anything immoral on tv, we'd have no tv but infommercials. Those actors understand: its a part, a job, it doesnt change who they are
I'm really glad Kirk is a Christian. Even if I can't meet him in person now, I'll meet him in heaven someday
he didnt find religion, he found a new career, Jesus is money.
I do NOT like how people say "he found religion" when talking about them giving their lives to the Lord. It apparently is very unpopular and uncomfortable to just flat out say "he accepted the Lord and decided to walk in the truth"...I saw how Candace Cameron was shut up on The View and how the camera rarely went on her. It's just so typical.
no. religion literally means "return to bondage" none of us following the Lord are bound. I HATE being called religious. It's an insult
+Mavors44 www.wsen.net/JF2011/page7a.html
+LauraBeth Scibetta there are plenty of other sites on the internet explaining about the meaning of the word religion but I will just say that when I was Catholic I was religious. I am not Catholic and have renounced it. I have a spiritual relationship with my Lord. I am not bound to Him. I choose to follow His ways and no, it's not the same as religion.
+LauraBeth Scibetta " heaccepted the lord and decided to walk in truth." thats one opinion, another could br "he annoyed castmates that believed differently then him, as well as threatened cast and crew members, who chose not to believe in a god, with losing their jobs. the guy is a major league creep.
+LauraBeth Scibetta oh my, Candace gets less time on camera then Whoopi, Jesus, tap dancin' K-rist, will the persecution never end!?!
YAY!! part 2! thanks! :D
It's weird how they refer to Kirk as "having found religion" as if he's in some strange underground cult. He's a Christian! This country was founded on Christian morals, why is it so taboo just to say "Kirk's a Christian." There's nothing weird about that. Good for him. He's a good man and follows his heart.
Kirk went crazy.
I get the impression that he was very difficult to get along with after his religious conversion.
+Evil Eye Gypsy sometimes worldly people don't get along with Bible followers. I saw the same thing but in reverse fashion
+Evil Eye Gypsy Well, Kirk is a complete douchebag asshole. He had people fired from the show due to his nutcase beliefs and nastiness. He made life hell for the staff on the show according to a few people who worked on the sitcom.
He definitely got Julie McCullough fired.

lol nut job. drink the Kool aid
Kirk Cameron made the best decision anyone could ever make, when this life is all said and done most of us are going to wish that we had made the same decision to put God first..
Kirk Cameron is a great guy. I have nothing but respect for him.
In January 2011, New Jersey passed one of the toughest anti-bullying laws:
"Public school teachers, school staff members, and administrators will have required training on how to properly handle incidents of harassment. Faculty and staff will be required to report all incidents of bullying, inside and outside of school, and administrators who do not act on reports of bullying will be disciplined. Furthermore, students who harass other students will be punished for their actions."
wait a minute, wo hold up, before we even get into it, the Seavers are first family of the 80's? No. If you are going to name a TV "first family of the '80's" it would be the Huxtables. Okay proceed.
They were for ABC. Huxtable's were NBC.
And that matters how?
Bos La Moss Because this is "Good Morning America", an ABC program. Yes, it's totally biased.
Actheman1978
No it doesn't matter, because the shows aren't on the air anymore. Why would ABC care so much about promoting a show that's not earning them any money?
Because they are not going to give free advertising and dvd sales to an NBC or CBS show. Think about it. That's like Calvin Klein talking up an old Polo line. This 80's show thing was probably just a way to see if reunion specials could net them some more ad revenue.
I miss the 80s, the TV shows, movies and music was better than it is today.
He was already losing it during the series. He had a co-star fired because she posed in Playboy.
'Losing it'? Did he ever have it?
Two costarring roles in movies, he sorta had it, but the Tom Cruise comparison was a stretch.
"You can't do anything unless that person seeks help"
a) you could reach out and talk to the person
b) if you're too timid or if he rejects, then notify his family of your concerns so ppl closer to him can reach out.
c) I'm not really his brother; in fact, I don't remember making this comment. I'm usually just a troll, but this video touched a nerve so i thought i'd infuse some genuine melodrama into my usual rabblerousing
At any rate, you sound like a good person, thanks for responding.
Kirk Cameron has such drive and focus. Too bad he can't apply that to a good cause like curing some disease or helping people.
Um. He is helping people
Too bad Leo isn't there, this was where he got his start and it would be interesting to see him back with the Seaver family. I do wonder if there was any tension between Leo and Kirk based on their beliefs?
They just kill his testimony with interruptions.. doesn't sound like they want to hear it from him.
Of course they don't. Even seemingly nice and "good" people have no interest in actual biblical truth because they are blind to it and can't understand it unless the Lord reveals it to them. It's what separates The One True Gospel from defiled and pointless religion. It has to be revealed by Him to the one upon whom He bestows His mercy. However, it also true that if anyone seeks they will find, but you have keep seeking and let Him decide when He is ready to reveal Himself to you. So many "good" people will read this and criticize this because do not even understand that they don't understand.
+WontB Quiet No they don't want to hear that mindless bronze age dribble
+jediprettyboy your that guy that would have worshipped Apollo and Zeus centuries ago. That's how deranged the human mind can be when it comes to religion.
+WontB Quiet TY. They did the same thing with Candace Cameron on The View. The camera rarely pans on her and when she tries to talk they cut her off or shoot down her viewpoint.
+LauraBeth Scibetta They treated Candace pretty well, actually. She and Nicole Wallace were certainly the Republican stand-ins, but they both got a really good reception in comparison with their predecessor Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The ladies ideologically disagree with Candace, sure, but they treated her very well in comparison with Hasselbeck.
That's mostly because Cameron is being sincere and Hasselbeck was serving as a propaganda machine, but that's beside the point.
so your saying he is allowed to believe what he wants but he isnt allowed to talk about it?! but you are of course allowed to talk about what you believe. people are so ignorant sometimes
I knew a "Kirk Cameron" a childhood classmate, once called him a friend. This was from '98 -05. Hate televangelist type people who put themselves upon everyone, he's probably gay. Tracy Gold is the great human spirit of the group.
True Christianity is NOT a "religion". It is a personal relationship with the Living God, through His Son Jesus Christ, and the work He did on the cross at Mt. Calvary over 2,000 years ago.
@sleazybtd Thank you, thank you, thank you. So well put. :)
They should have also had the little girl who played Chris Seaver on the show, for the interview too. True, she didn't join the cast until later, but, she was still a member of the Seaver family.
I can't believe there are so many people who just hate someone they totally don't know.
You mean homophobes, right?
Kirk Cameron made life difficult on the set of “Growing Pains” because he took his religion too far
Kirk was a talented actor & the show was awesome back in the day. We may not agree with his religion but it is not our life & it is his life so he has the right to be a Christian or not, the bottom line is u cant tell other ppl what to do with there life's we may not like it but it's there right to choose what is best for them.
I'm not a religious person but it's hilarious and at the same time SAD how some people get so offended by it. Take this clown *lurch321*... he's so utterly offended that Kirk would dare share his beliefs with other people and goes on to call him a douchebag when it's clear who the real douchebag is here... lol. The bottom line is religion helps a lot of people live a better life because it gives them certain guidelines on how to get through life and be happy, at least for them. If losers like *lurch321* don't want or need that in their life that's fine & dandy but the truly interesting aspect to this is how most religious people aren't bothered when people like lurch don't believe what they do yet people like lurch come absolutely UNGLUED if you don't believe how THEY do (no God, afterlife, etc).
People like *lurch321* are totally incapable of just allowing people to believe in whatever helps THEM have or live a better life and are rather strangely compelled to talk shit about religious people while religious folks are more than happy to simply allow "lurch people" to believe whatever they want and live their lives however they want. So basically you have one group who is content to just let people live and believe whatever helps you have a better life while the other group feels compelled to dictate how and what others should or shouldn't believe in.
Really illustrates who is who when you look at it the way things *really* are....
Mr. Allen C. Sokolik Jr. The problem with him is he tries to push his view as influence. He advertises a form of bigotry and tries to use it for a conversion. It goes far beyond simple opinion when you spend your days, money, and career on trying to tell the rest of us what is right and wrong because of a book you follow. It's kind of a sickness.
Don't like it then it's simple don't listen or watch him now a days.
Mike Hawk I don't really give a frogs fat ass about Kirk Cameron's conversion, except for when it comes to Andrew Koenig, whom he never lifted one finger to help. Kirk's religion has pretty much nothing to do with his conversion, despite his christanity, he is a douche. I'm very happy he has found something that he claims has made him delirously happy, I just wish his happines didn't come with the price of hurting others.
+Mr. Allen C. Sokolik Jr. Few do thankfully
This definitely was the best show ever, Family Ties comes in second. They definitely don't make them like this anymore. RIP Alan Thicke
Hey, what about Full House?
@@thecoolesthana I was a little older when that show started,it was good but nothing like the Seavers and Keaton families 😊
For me, Family Ties was the best, but more importantly, I hope Alan found Jesus before he departed.
"there was a shift (in Kirk)" thats cause God changed him
When people go through traumatic experiences and feel very alone, what could be more comforting than believing that there is someone you can talk to that always listens and loves you and cares? I am an atheist but I understand that fundamental religion is a balm. I have no problem with the religious until they use their beliefs to hurt others. I don't believe that they want to hurt people but you have to keep the baby AND the bathwater if you take a bronze aged book literally.
Kirk is the best Amen.
yes I used to watch this show I used to watch Grrowing pains and Family Ties . Growing Pains (Kirk Cameron) vs Family Ties (Michael J. Fox)
It is pathetic how many people think that Christ is a myth. Heaven and hell is real. All people will one day find out.
You're too funny
+Anthony Bumbrey well according to you... and jesus was a total myth, cobbled together from a dozen or so much older myths... but you just keep believing in your particular god, because due to your family history/birthplace, your god, is the -right one. .
Heaven and hell are myths. Valhalla is real.
I admire Kirk Cameron for his boldess. We shall see how funny this all is whe we leave this earth and see God face to face. Many people have claimed not to believe in God. Later on they get into a negative situation and wish they did believe.
Anthony Bumbrey Any evidence of this?
Very good show. I miss tv like this
Ironic use of rainbows...in the intro
One of many testimonials of how God does miracles amen God bless
good for kirk. He didnt sell his soul just to be famous or liked. He did what he thought was the right thing to do. Maybe other actors went on to be bigger than him (in Hollyweird world) but I bet you anything he's actually happy and fulfilled and def never got into anything weird etc
I'm not a die hard Christian, but Kirk Cameron is top notch in my book. God bless him. Gives me hope.
I think the best part about the banana videotape, is Kirk's sitting next to Ray, and idioticly laughing at everything Ray said, just like a dutiful girlfriend.
Man... I love them too!! ❤❤❤
Cameron's fellow cast members are way too kind. His decision to reject scripts that portrayed Mike Seaver as the character he had already played for 5 years, and that fans loved put the entire show in jeopardy. He selfishly decided that he was too good to play an average teenager, and could only from then on play Kirk Cameron.
Larry Lee Moniz no, he did what was best for him
Kirk knows his scripture, unlike many professed christians knows his scripture.
MOVIE "Unstoppable" on September 24th! The trailer is out, please watch, for many have questions, few give an answer.
Evil prospers when good do nothing.
