[Youtube] Angus T. Jones bashing

I guess i was as surprised as everyone else when i started seeing the Twitter feeds about Angus Jones saying that the show he's in, Two and a Half Men, is "filth", and urging viewers to stop watching the show. As a fan of the series since the first episode of the first season, i felt like giving my two cents about the whole situation.

First off, i fully and completely respect that he's a born again Christian… he has right to his own religion, and that's all good, but when he starts telling the fans of his own show, in which he's been for over 10 years, not to watch it anymore, that his character is nothing, non-existent, and starts talking about "the enemy", then i feel there's something seriously wrong going on with him. Like i said, i have nothing against religion nor Christianity, but when i feel something's odd, i just feel like commenting on it, that's all.


I watched the entire 14 minute video that Forerunner posted, where he makes his main statements about the show and about his new faith, and the words "brain washed" just pops in my head almost at every second. Pretty much he's telling us that we're all wrong (and possibly sinners) for watching the show now, and that if we keep watching, we're just following Satan's plan of some sort… i mean, what? And at no point he's saying that he's going to quit the show, or that he's trying to get fired, and no mention about donating all the money he makes per episode or anything else. I mean, if the show is "filth", then the money he makes with it should be filthy too, shouldn't it? In that case, is he going to get rid of it? I didn't see any mentions of that anywhere.

I don't intend to be judgmental or too critical on his new stance about a show that saw him grow up from a little kid into the man he is nowadays. I just feel that something is odd here, and i'd love to hear your thoughts about it in the comment section below. Thanks.
