Angus Jones said: 'I'm on Two and a Half Men, and I don't want to be on it.'

If all publicity is good publicity, Two and a Half Men has once again hit the marketing jackpot. The show, which survives and apparently thrives on its off-screen dramas, has added new elements into the mix: God, Satan and eternal damnation.

Angus Jones, better known as the character Jake Harper, the adolescent "half" in the title, has released two videos criticising the CBS sitcom, now in its 10th season, as "filth", and urging viewers to shun it lest they become contaminated.

The 19-year-old actor, who reportedly earns $350,000 per show, making him the highest paid teenager in US television, made the pleas after embracing the Forerunner Chronicles, a California-based Christian group which warns about evil in entertainment.

"Jake from Two and a Half Men means nothing," Jones said in the videos. "He is a non-existent character. 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; please stop filling your head with filth."

The videos are the latest off-screen shocks to a hit show already shaken by last year's meltdown by Charlie Sheen and the soap opera-like travails of his successor Ashton Kutcher.

"At this point, it might be best to turn Two and a Half Men into a reality show," commented the Hollywood Reporter.

Jones's testimonial, which at times sounded like a confession, referred to an enemy presumed to be Satan. "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."

In case viewers did not get the message, he added: "It's bad news. I don't know if it means any more coming from me, but you might not have heard it otherwise. So just watch out. A lot of people don't like to think about how deceptive the enemy is. He's been doing this for a (lot) longer than any of us have been around. So we can't play around. There's no playing around when it comes to eternity."

Whereas other child actors tend to grow up to find alcohol and drugs, Jones said he found God after meeting Christopher Hudson, a preacher known as Forerunner who makes YouTube videos warning about evil influences in Hollywood and government.

Jones said he felt awed by Hudson. "I'm like, 'Dang, man of God, Forerunner, right here. I can touch him, I can give him a hug…' Like, seriously. God is great. It's just, like, one of those those things."

a think he would be easy enough to replace- talk about biting the hand.......

[FWS]

He would be easily written out of the show, and somehow, despite his newfound convictions, he'd come to miss that $350,000 per episode.



I'm sure the writers could come up with a very creative end to Jake, as they did with Charlie, who was run over by a train in Paris, Rose said she didn't know how he fell onto the tracks. Even though she was right behind him.............................................

[trappnman]

I love Rose's character!

[C1972]

If he's so torn up about it due to his new found faith................................................QUIT.

It's that easy and he'll be saved or however it works amongst the theists.

Rose is a great character. She reminds of a girl I dated briefly (very) when I was 20 or so, smokin' hot but batsh^t crazy.

"In a radio broadcast, "The Voice of Prophecy," recorded for the Seventh-day Adventist Church on Jones' birthday in October, he described his religious path. He has been attending a Seventh-day Adventist Church in the Los Angeles area.
Jones said he felt drawn to God after a tough time in his life when his parents were going through a divorce and he experimented with drugs.

"I never drank," he said. "That was one thing God protected me from, and I'm still a virgin. God protected me from those things."

Jones said that "it's very weird that I'm on a television show, especially now that I am trying to walk with God. My television show has nothing to do with God and doesn't want anything to do with God."


Jones said that he had no plans to get out of his contract, which reportedly pays him $350,000 an episode.

DUH!

The Apology:

Without qualification, I am grateful to and have the highest regard and respect for all of the wonderful people on Two and Half Men with whom I have worked over the past ten years and who have become an extension of my family.

Chuck Lorre, Peter Roth and many others at Warner Bros. and CBS are responsible for what has been one of the most significant experiences in my life to date. I thank them for the opportunity they have given and continue to give me and the help and guidance I have and expect to continue to receive from them.

I also want all of the crew and cast on our show to know how much I personally care for them and appreciate their support, guidance and love over the years. I grew up around them and know that the time they spent with me was in many instances more than with their own families. I learned life lessons from so many of them and will never forget how much positive impact they have had on my life.

I apologize if my remarks reflect me showing indifference to and disrespect of my colleagues and a lack of appreciation of the extraordinary opportunity of which I have been blessed. I never intended that."

[trappnman]

He never inteended that?

interesting- if only there would have been words that didn;t leave that impression..................

[FWS]

I think Jake needs a trip to Paris with Rose.............

The "preacher" who is influencing him is a serious nutcase,


Is Christopher Hudson Behind Angus Jones’s ‘Two and a Half Men’ Attack?

The Daily Beast
Nov 28, 2012

The young actor blasted his own show as ‘filth’ after his ‘awakening,’ but his spiritual mentor has long waged a religious war on the entertainment industry and liberal America—and compares Obama to Hitler.

Two and a Half Men may be doomed, but its half-man, Angus Jones, has found his savior.

In the ForeRunner Chronicles video here, Jones advises viewers to stop watching 'Two and a Half Men.'

Jones, 19, who plays the lumpy, underachieving teenager Jake Harper on the sitcom, called the CBS show “filth” in now-viral videotaped testimony. The two-part testimonial was broadcast in a YouTube video Monday from ForeRunner Chronicles, a Seventh-Day Adventist ministry, and features Jones discussing his “awakening” with the website’s creator, Christopher Hudson.

“Please stop watching Two and a Half Men,” Jones urges viewers, warning them about the brainwashing boob tube and likening the lowbrow sitcom, which pays him a reported $350,000 per episode, to Satan.

“A lot of us don’t like to think about how deceptive the enemy is,” Jones says in the video, with Hudson nodding beside him. “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 [Two and a Half Men].”

Jones, who grew up attending Christian schools, says in his testimony that he was “hipped” on the ForeRunner even before he began worshipping at a Seventh-Day Adventist Church in Los Angeles several months ago. “I sent you an email just a couple of weeks ago thinking I could get your opinion on a few things,” he tells Hudson in his trailer on the Warner Bros. studio lot, where much of the testimony is filmed. “Now you’re here in California!”

Jones is rhapsodic about Hudson, who attributes their meeting to “God’s work.” But the actor’s spiritual mentor is a controversial figure who has long been waging a religious war on the entertainment industry and liberal America. In 2009, he gained notoriety after releasing a documentary on YouTube called The Jay-Z Deception, in which he accused the rapper of being a devil-worshipping Freemason. He also has declared masturbation a sin and referred to President Obama’s health-care plan as a “carbon copy” of Hitler’s health-care policies. In a recent scaremongering video, Hudson said New York City’s post-Hurricane Sandy gas shortage was a harbinger of a food-shortage crisis and cannibalism, referencing a “similar” event in the Bible when the city of Jerusalem was seized by the Roman armies in 70 A.D: “It was so severe that women began to cannibalize their own children. Your baby may start looking like a chicken wing.”

Disturbingly, Jones seems to have no qualms about Hudson’s extremist views, praising the ForeRunner Chronicles in his video testimony (“All the information is so great … Your videos have no doubt been a blessing to me.”). Hudson’s New World gospel also is popular on Seventh-Day Adventist media outlets like Three Angels Broadcasting, a 24-hour, international television and radio network.

“It’s very practical and applies biblical principles to modern-day society,” Yvonne Lewis, general manager of Three Angels Broadcasting’s urban network, told The Daily Beast. “It’s cutting-edge, scripturally-based, and doctrinally sound.”

Meanwhile, the official Seventh-Day Adventist Church has distanced itself from Hudson. “He’s an independent ministry, not a pastor,” said George Johnson, communications director for the Church’s North American branch. “He has no official ordinance or title with the church.”

Jones issued an apologetic statement Tuesday night claiming he never intended any disrespect for his Two and a Half Men colleagues “who have become an extension of my family.”

Warner Bros. and CBS have not officially commented on the actor’s tirade. But Jones’s former co-star Charlie Sheen, who was fired from the sitcom after going through his own highly publicized breakdown, weighed in on the scandal late Tuesday: “With Angus’s Hale-Bopp-like meltdown, it is radically clear to me that the show is cursed.”
