I remember watching a good number of BOJO films during watchnight services during my time as an IFBx. Sheffy was probably my favorite but also remember “Flame in the Wind” and some others I guess I have forgotten.

The “Thief in the Night” trilogy was not BOJO. The only place I remember these movies played or mentioned was in IFB Churches who obviously disargeed with the evil “Drums” used in the sound track!!!

But how about those watchnight services with marathon preaching (lots of bad preaching from all of the “Preeecher Boyz” in the Church) going on?

THIEF IN THE NIGHT TERRIFYIES ME TO THIS DAY.

I grew up terrified that i was going to be “left behind”. I remember several instances of calling my parents, them not answering and me rushing to see if they were gone.

*shudder*

It is nice to have grown up and realized that none of that mental terrorism is actually scriptual.

Red Runs the River was the best! As a boy I wanted some good ol’ fashioned violence in my movies. But Sheffey won top honors for the scene where Sheffey stages “hell” for a drunk wife-beater. The guy who played the drunk attended my home church and was a city councilman to boot.

Bill : For the record, Thief in the Night is not a Bob Jones production.

Even more for the record, it was released by Billy Graham ministries, and BJ hates BG.

Thief in the Night scared the bejeebers out of me when I was a kid. I was already a Christian, but I prayed every night for at least a year that God would please not forget me when the Rapture occurred.

We showed Thief in the Night once on an old projector and sheet-for-screen in Grenada. I remember it was nighttime (probably a watchnight service or a revival), and we showed it outdoors. It was scary in the dark! I had nightmares for years afterwards.
