laughedatbytime Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — “Two and a Half Men” star Angus T. Jones is under fire for criticizing the show — even going so far as to call it “filth” — in an online video in which he professes his religious beliefs.“Jake from ‘Two and a Half Men’ means nothing. He is a nonexistent character,” the 19-year-old actor says of his character on the hit CBS program. “If you watch ‘Two and a Half Men,’ please stop watching ‘Two and a Half Men.’ I’m on ‘Two and a Half Men’ and I don’t want to be on it.”Jones appears in the video seated next to televangelist Christopher Hudson, whose sermons appear in YouTube videos called “The Forerunner Chronicles.”“Please stop filling your head with filth, please. People say it’s just entertainment…” Jones said.The comments are consistent with an interview he gave on his 19th birthday last month, when he sat down with Connie Jeffery at the Adventist Media Center in Simi Valley to talk about his newfound beliefs.“I basically had the experience of the baptism of the Holy Spirit…I felt like I was being hugged inside and out and…it was the best feeling ever,” Jones said.Jones told Jeffery that he got into drugs when hisparentshttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png divorced and was never very religious. Last year, when he was unsure if he would return to the show, he questioned his course and found God.Jeffery released a statement that said, in part: “The Adventist Church in North America was pleased to learn that Angus T. Jones recently began attending one of their churches in Southern California and became a baptized member.”CBS2/KCAL9 was unable to reach Jones’ motherhttp://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png for comment. She has told a British newspaper that she felt her son was being exploited.Hudson said those claims were “absolutely ridiculous.” http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/2012/11/27/two-and-a-half-men-star-angus-t-jones-calls-show-filth/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Hard to argue with him that this show is pure crap. How anyone can waste a half hour watching this show is beyond me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 What a hypocrite considering he signed a 2 year deal for almost 8 million a few years back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Looks like we have another Kirk Cameron here. To be fair, you don't need to be religious to know that the show has always sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I saw today that he got suspended for two shows.I read that he wasn't going to be in the shows by design of the script (such as it is). http://www.cnn.com/2...and-a-half-men/ I don't think he's been funny in many years. Funny as a little kid, not so much once he hit puberty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babycat Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I read about this. Keep going at that rate and he'll end up being dumped by CBS... Either it's me, or he's just ungrateful. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
librarian Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If I made $350K a show you wouldn't here a peep out of me either way. Just give me my check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I read today that his parents are totally flipped out and are concerned over a play for his money by his new found church. Hey, at least Charlie Sheen supports him. Maybe there is some credibility to Charlie's claims of the working environment. Living in the real world, and not Hollywood, I have no idea. Perhaps the whole scene makes one crazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enemy Within 77 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) I can't believe that show is still on the air. It was never funny and has always been a shitty show- more now than ever with that douche Ashton Kutcher! I absolutely hate that guy! :boo hiss: Edited November 29, 2012 by Enemy Within 77 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I have no problem with someone changing there convictions and wanting a change. You just need to handle these matters privately. Its just the very impressionable mind of a 19 year being corrupted unjustly. His guru is not a wise man, and the kid should take a step back and realize that. He is young. You can't buy maturity. It comes with age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good,bad,andrush Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 As an atheist... I say let people believe and say what they want to. This guy wants to believe, good for him. This guy wants to quit a tv show and tell us not to watch it, fine. We don't have to listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes with age.I agree, Tick. His statements struck me as very much in line with a 19 year old - especially one who's been experimenting with LSD. I saw this article this morning. http://www.thedailyb...s-meltdown.html Unfortunately, at 19 one does not typically have the wisdom to step back. Hard knocks, as we know, is where wisdom is earned. I wonder what he will think of this video in 20 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USB Connector Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 He just bit the hand that feeds. Good luck getting a job that pays anywhere near as well after this. I hope he's at least smart enough to bank 2 million dollar contract that and spend it wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was part of one of the most successful sitcoms in TV history. Nothing to not be proud of. Being an immature kid who made himself look foolish will bother him, but he'll get over it.
