God's Army objectionable

When Hyrum's date objected to watching "God's Army" because of the "toilet scenes" (she was already upset because she found empty Dr. Pepper cans in his car), I thought that was a terrific send-up of people who are just so, so uptight.

And then there was the neighbor, at the door, asking them to "keep it down," who also found the movie "offensive"!

Actually, I've never seen "God's Army." But I have heard some pretty funny stories about what missionaries actually do in their off time.

If you see God's Army, you will find the neighbour at the door joke even funnier.

Because not only is the neighbor IN the movie, God's Army, he is the DIRECTOR!

God's Army...*shiver*...such a strange movie. Very dark.

God's Army scared me so bad when I was a kid, I think I was only 10-11 when it came out but I thought I was going to die the night I saw it.

Intense maybe but, not scary. It seems the more I watch it the more I like it. I liked God's Army 2 too.

You have to watch God's Army to find out what the real joke it is about... oops! someone has told you already! The neighboor is Richard Dutcher, Director and writer of God's Army 1 & 2, Brigham City, Falling, Evil Angel, Eliza and I, Brother John and Gril Crazy. He moved on to Hollywood, where he is still directing. Great Director, btw!

Now, I shouldn't say this, but since that movie, almost every elder on his mission's scrapbook has the same photo on the toilet taken by its companion. I've seen more than 10 different already!
