Church responds to media inquiries over TV sitcom star’s affiliation

The Seventh-day Adventist Church emphasized its welcoming of converts in a response to media attention surrounding an American TV situation comedy actor’s comments about his religious affiliation and his personal thoughts about the show.

In a news release yesterday, a spokesman from the denomination’s North American Division said the Adventist Church welcomed actor Angus T. Jones “with open arms.” Jones is the 19-year-old actor on the sitcom Two and a Half Men, a popular show aired on the CBS network. He joined the Seventh-day Adventist Church through baptism in June.

Jones was the focus of media attention this week when a video of him criticizing the content of the show went viral. The video was recorded by Christopher Hudson, an individual whose ministry is not affiliated with the Adventist Church.

George Johnson, a spokesman for the Adventist Church in North America's, said questions about Hudson should be directed to him and his organization directly.

Our church is doing just what the bible and SOP predicted it would. Wake up you sleepy, naked, poor Christians. - That message is for all of us! So sad, we know SOP said they will open their doors on Sunday - and from this I can see why... Keep spreading the truth Chris and Angus! And all those other 7,000 who will not bow the knee to Baal.

Remember, acting is just that, not the real truth. As a police officer I too had to act like a drunk or drug dealer to investigate cases. That was all it was, an act. So leave him alone to do his acting.

There was nothing controversial about that interview though.

So glad that God is still working touching the hearts of people that MANY might think they are untouchable! Praise God!

Obviously Angus T. Jones was led by the Holy spirit in his search for truth and, as he gave his heart and life to Jesus Christ.

Angus Jones is an engaging and earnest young man who I am sure would be an asset to any congregation. His criticism, and subsequent apology regarding his source of employment - as well as his continued participation in it - suggests that his experience is an ongoing process of personal change. I wish him well.

I am bemused and disappointed, however, in the use of his "Two and Half Men" connections by church media. and believe that the distribution of the interview by Connie Vandeman Jeffrey will not be constructive.
