> Julie McCullough, who played Kirk Cameron’s love interest Julie Costello during the fourth season, was abruptly and without warning fired from the show at the start of filming for episode 94 (the episode in which Julie’s character would have married Mike Seaver). She was given a completely new script when she turned up for filming, in which Julie abandoned Mike at the altar. While no official reason was given to McCullough, it was common knowledge that Kirk Cameron had demanded that she be fired from the series. Cameron, who had become a born again Christian several years earlier, disliked McCullough because the actress had posed in Playboy months before being hired, and demanded her firing as a condition of his signing a new contract.

Several years after the fact, I finally get the explanation. I saw that episode, and was, like, WTF?

I would guess not, seeing as how they don’t exist 😉 . Now here’s a question for Kirk and Company: My husband, the father of my children, is an atheist. But that means he doesn’t exist. Obviously, therefore, my children were born of immaculate conception. You would think that this, in and of itself, is enough to get me into heaven! Also, if I just learned that my husband doesn’t really exist, then all the debt incurred in his name is invalid. I wonder if I can collect on his life insurance?

He doesn’t exist so how does he have life insurance?

If your children were conceived by immaculate conception does that mean there was no wet spot?  
Just curious.

Of course Kirk Cameron has no nipples. They dissappeared during his conversion. His chest is perfectly smooth and free of any marks, like a Milk Dud with all the chocolate sucked off.

Oh, there was a wet spot, all right. But God is a real Gentleman, and let me sleep on _His_ side of the bed. 😃

y’know, there was a time I was pretty sure I was going to heaven, but that was _before_ I started posting to the SDMB!

Show me that smile again. (Show me that smile)  
Don’t waste another minute on your foolish atheistic beliefs’.  
We’re really near the end (really near)  
The beast is ready to begin.

Oooohhh. As long as we got each other  
We got the souls of the unsaved spinnin right in our hands.  
Kirk Cameron and me, we gotta be  
The luckiest preachers who never quit preachin’.

As long as we keep on givin’  
we can save anyone that comes to pray  
Testify, rain or shine, all the time  
We got each other sharin’ the spirit of God…

**vanilla** , it’s probably my fault, but I can’t tell if you’re joking about not knowing about the “wet spot”. If you’re serious, I’ll explain (although probably in a spoiler box in case someone thinks it’s TMI). If you’re messing with me, please forgive me; it’s early, and I’m just now starting my coffee 😉

As for Kirk, he’s convinced I’m burning anyway, so I don’t really care if he knows! 🆒

I know what it is; never had one.  
Kirk probably hasn’t either.

I’ll bet he has. He’s a male, after all.

Just to put the apparent quality of this movie in perspective ('cause I’m not going to watch it to prove it), I saw it at WalMart last night for $5.50. For the DVD.

[_The Faculty_](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133751/) was $8.88.
