The comments he made about Two and a Half men being "filth" are just a few seconds out of a half-hour "testimonial".  I listened to a bit of it.  He doesn't come across as overly preachy...certainly nowhere near as preachy as Hollywood often gets.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's what a lot of "new Christians" do.

 

They "find the Lord" & suddenly feel it's their sacred duty to save everyone's souls by beating them into submission.

 

Some never grow out of it, either.

 

My best friend in high school, the guy in the light blue VW pic posted in another thread, got that way. Odd thing is, his last name was "Lord" too.

 

Thirty five years & several kids later, he's more diplomatic about it I think, & actually able to hold a conversation without getting preachy, but then again, I haven't spoken to him at length that many times since then.

 

 

 
WOW....just wow I don't know what to say, he is right on one hand, but on the other I think he took it TOO far.

Probably still is & even more so.

Agreed, I remember seeing the show when Sheen was still on and remembering all the sex innuendo they could stuff in the show. I remember sitting though all that crap and grinning and bearing because I "liked" the show. When in fact I hated it! So far they tuned that stuff down for now, unless I've been clueless. I was happy that Rose showed up I liked her. I'll see how the next show is we'll see.

Evelyn to Rose's father (played by Martin Sheen), right in front of their kids:

 

 

 

Dehumanizing?  Maybe.  But funny as hell.

 

 

I loved the show for a few years, but realized I'd seen it enough when I began to remember the lines.

 

 

 

 

If I may speak for 'Christians' (HOWEVER one may wish to 'define' such), maybe it is best to simply remind others 'there are options - maybe SUGGESTED options' - for the broadcast time period in question). Look at them, yet realize we live within a land which supports freedom of speech and expression. 

 

He really is alienating himself and his faith from others by his behavior and badmouthing the show. Regardless is he is right, most sitcoms do glorify a lifestyle that most evangelical christians would poo poo (but many watch anyway) but his blasting it is coming of as foolish and arrogant

 

Believe it or not, the show still seems to be getting great ratings...as good as ever.

 

How?  Who even watches it these days?
