What's the deal with former child stars? Don't get us wrong, we know being a child star is a fucked-up life, but is the best way to solve it turning into a depressingly fervent Bible banger like Kirk Cameron or, apparently, his little sister Candace Cameron Bure, she of DJ Tanner in "Full House" fame? Yes, little DJ is all grown up and loves her some Jesus and defers to her man.
First you are totally stuck hearing about how she found Jesus because if we have to read it, you have to read it.
Your comment forced me to read the Happy article, and to have a look at her website.
On the one hand, the article drew pretty heavily from the &quot;Ministry&quot; section of the website, rather than from media quotes. Since I don&#039;t watch tv, I have no personally-acquired data. Also, as far as the deferring-to-hubby thing, I&#039;m inclined to think that she should be spared criticism as long as (1) it really is her choice, (2) she retains the irrevocable right to change her mind about it, and (3) she doesn&#039;t try to compel anyone else to follow her example. I mean, a pretty important feminist position is that women (and everybody else) have the right to make decisions about things that <i>affect them personally</i>. If she decides to defer &quot;family leadership&quot; to her hubs, it is not my place to tell her that was an unacceptable decision.
On the other hand, she has on her website a page of how to choose a proper church. The page is credited to somebody named Todd Friel, but since it has a prominent place on the website, one conjectures that she subscribes to the questions and desired answers. Which leads to the conclusion that she is (questions 15 and 16) an inerrant-Bibler, and a Young-Earther (well, strictly, a 6-day creationist, but it&#039;s pretty hard to reconcile the literal Genesis creation story with any geologic-scale timeline).
Just out of curiosity, do you know if this is the case? Personally, I have had difficulty maintaining relations with young-earthers.
Also, are we ever gonna have another City drinkie thing, do you think?
I&#039;m close. I did watch two episodes of DWTS, at my then-wife&#039;s insistence, because Jerry Rice.
