Two and a Half Men co-star Angus T. Jones wants his living nightmare to end. “Jake from Two and a Half Men means nothing,†Jones says in a video for the Forerunner Chronicles, a Seventh Day Adventist–leaning vlog series. “If you watch Two and a Half Men, please stop watching Two and a Half Men,†Jones says. “I’m on Two and a Half Men, I don’t want to be on it. Please stop watching it. Please stop filling your head with filth. Please.â€Â
The 19-year-old twice invokes the notion of the Laodiceans, a group criticized in the Book of Revelations for being “lukewarm.†According to Jones, “we need to pick our side now.†(Those sides are “with God†and “not with God.â€) Later in the video, Jones says that “you can’t be a true God-fearing person and be on a television show like [Two and a Half Men]. I know I can’t. I’m not okay with what I’m learning and what the Bible says and being on that television show.â€
Jones recently spoke at a Seventh Day Adventist workshop and touched on that same discomfort. “It’s very weird being on a television show, especially now that I’m trying to walk with God, because my television show has nothing to do and doesn’t want anything to do with God,†he said. “So it’s a strange position that I’m put in … I’m under contract for another year, so it’s not too much of a decision on my part. … I know God has me there for a reason for another year.â€
