How did you feel when Charlie Sheen left the show? Do you stay in contact with him?
It was kind of a bummer, but I didn't really worry about it back then. I wasn't following the news or listening to what people were telling me. I love both Chuck and Charlie. I can understand where both were coming from. Charlie's situation: he lived in a bubble, a total glass jar, and everyone knew everything about him. It's such a strange life, and not human for a person to be able to live like that. Basically, the way I see it, he gave society what they wanted to see in a celebrity: that's what society, in the end, wants a celebrity to be. They want this spectacle, they want this huge train wreck of a life so they can say, "I am not so bad." It makes them feel better. I have tons of respect for Charlie. I love him to death. We talk on the phone every now and then.
What is the biggest challenge facing your generation?
It's the challenge every generation has: the desire to serve yourself and put yourself in front of everyone else. The desire to do what you think is best.
What else would you want CT readers to know about you?
I have gone to Christian school all my life and I learned all the stories. I don't know if it was me or the fact that my home life wasn't Christian. Maybe God wanted me to go through those things to have a more powerful testimony. I don't know. I feel though that I am now on a crash course. I have been missing out and don't want to waste any more time. I feel so driven. All the other stuff is going to fade away. What is going to last for eternity is where we stand with him. It really is the only work in life.

Here's The article with Jones' apology. http://www.kansascity.com/2012/11/27/3936870/two-and-a-half-men-actor-n ot-expected.html Doesn't seem to me that he was back-peddling on his earlier statements, just that he seemed not to realized "how" is statement may had sounded or reflected on the ppl involved in the show of whom he says he respects. The people and the content are the distinguishing factor in both his statement and apology. Just my thoughts.

I just wanted to commend Angus on his stand for God and his personal spiritual beliefs. It takes character and courage to do something like that so openly these days! Good for him! May God continually bless you Angus and increase you more and more in the things of God! Blessings!

Gary, the statement I read which said that Angus has been fired was posted by AOL's news service. I'll leave it to you to decide whether that is a credible news source, or not. Your recent post also reeks with judgment. Obviously, you feel qualified to judge the motives of total strangers whom you do not know personally. I do not. I do applaud Angus' initial statements (which he has not retracted) because they are consistent with Scriptural truth, and I applaud his courage at speaking out at such a young age. I know you don't see it that way, but I do. Perhaps it is best if we agree to disagree.
