Angus T. Jones is pleading with his fans to STOP watching "Two and a Half Men" ... claiming it's nothing but "filth" that contradicts his deep Christian values.
19-year-old Jones -- who makes $350k AN EPISODE playing Jake on the show -- is featured in a new video for the Forerunner Christian Church ... in which he talks about his commitment to his faith and explains, "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."
"Please stop watching it and filling your head with filth. People say its just entertainment. Do some research on the effects of television and your brain, and I promise you youll have a decision to make when it comes to television, especially with what you watch."
He continues, "If I am doing any harm, I don't want to be here. I don't want to be contributing to the enemy's plan ... You cannot be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like that. I know I can't. I'm not OK with what I'm learning, what the bible says and being on that television show."

(15,189 posts)I don't watch 2 1/2 men and never have, but this asshole should be fired. Let Jesus pay him $350,000 for going to church.

(30,736 posts)Think of all the people who could use that amount of money ONCE, not every single time they made a t.v. episode. That amount of money is life-changing for people.
Is there something in the water on that set? Does it turn them all into crazy people?

(4,119 posts)Jesus would be fine with the show and would advise young Angus to use his money to help the poor. Too bad more Christians don't actually read the bible. They'd also know that Jesus taught non-judgment and he lived non-judgement. He wouldn't judge the show to be good or bad...nor would he judge those who enjoyed the show.
murielm99
(30,736 posts)actually did use some of his money to help the poor. It would do more for Christianity than any door-knocking, street-corner-leafleting nutcase could ever do. His fans would go to church. They would help the poor, too.
He should do that, and encourage others to do the same, as they are able.

(6,665 posts)This is probably more about him rebelling against his parents and their contol over his life. How many of those child actors do you think really want to be working those long hours, memorizing lines when they could be playing and socializing?

(20,166 posts)Apparently came to religion after lots of drugs and speeding tickets, according to the article.
Regardless, I wouldn't want my kids to be in show biz. It's hard enough on the adults who are in it...with few exceptions, it always seems disastrous for the kids.

(5,169 posts)Sounds like your enemies list has a hair trigger.
BTW: Am I on there now for pointing that out? I don't mind...I'm pretty much used to it after taking on a multi-million $$$ spychip company about 10 years ago. Even got death threats because some of the people who invested in it blamed me for holding the stock price down. I was so proud!

(7,212 posts)And not renew his contract......the show is in syndication so he will get paid even if hes not on the show anymore.....350k is nice change for a young man...but if the gods are saying its time to go....then go..dammit.
Charlie made the show.....the new version is not good IMO

(29,503 posts)Sheez. There's the saying about a fool and his money, but isn't that for money in pocket, as opposed to money agreed to in a contract? But hey, if the shoe fits...

(118,281 posts)could anything possibly make the show more interesting to more people, than a big controversy about whether or not the show is just filth with no redeeming social value? $400K per episide, here I come"

(15,064 posts)they see on television. I've never wanted to shoot alligators in a swamp but I've seen the show. I don't think Steven King has ever murdered anyone yet he writes about. Telling people to not watch television is just as much 'mind control' as watching television.
This actor is obviously a bigot in the making and he's making excuses for what he does. If he really thought what he does was sending people to Hell he would quit the show.

(23,156 posts)If Angus Jones really feels that way, he should quit. I have no idea what kind of a contract he might have, but surely he has an agent who can get him out of it.
Plus, in the current season he is in the army, and he has about 30 seconds of air time in each episode any more. Maybe he's bothered that he's not on screen more.

(40,416 posts)Sophomoric, titillating humor; lame laugh track to inform you when something funny has been said; etc.
Sitcoms are utter rubbish. No wonder people vote for Republicans in this country. They actually think this grade school garbage is funny... They know it because the laugh track tells them.

(10,425 posts)So don't renew your contract, ya whiner! At any given time, 90% of actors in Hollywood are unemployed, so just be thankful that you have a job. There's MUCH better actors than him that are waiting tables and delivering pizzas while waiting for their big breaks.
