I DO thank God for His grace and mercy. And I also thank Him for saving me and filling me with the Holy Ghost. It's the ANOINTING that makes the difference.

Although I am a professional counselor and there's the correct professional "jargon", books, and articles that are used to "diagnose" and advise people, I WILL say, plain and simple, that Michael Jackson needs JESUS. I KNOW that if it were not for Jesus in MY life, I myself would probably be just as bad (or even worse) than Michael. All I can do is pray for him.

TO GOD BE AAALLLLL OF THE GLORY!!!!!!

Girl, do not get me to shoutin' this morning!!!! The anointing does make a difference!! I am such a walking testimony. For a long time I would wonder why things happen the way they did but as I got better and my life started positively changing, so many of my friends have sought me for guidance. I have even had some on line sisterfriends chat with me. It makes all of the stuff I have gone through so much easier to deal with. God is truly awesome!!

This is from the kid that Michael was accused of molesting in 1993 -- court documents and such.

I watched the special on MJ and I now believe that there is an inverse relationship between a person's wealth and their sanity. As they get richer, they get crazier. MJ is a perfect example. I realize that he is still dealing with issues from his childhood, but honestly, who isn't. I know people who had much worse childhoods and are not having all of the emotional and mental problems that Michael is having.

I missed the first hour of the special. Was their any mention of Michael practicing any religion? I truly believe that he needs to accept Jesus into his heart and pray for help. The Lord is the best therapy.

I tell ya, the thing that I love about that smoking gun website is that not only do they get the story, but they usually end up getting the whole story, documents and all. lol

But seriously, after veiwing the documentary, I am convinced that Michael truly has some serious issues. I'm not about to down him or anything, I'll just say that he is truly in my prayers, right along with Whitney and Bobby. What is this world coming to?

Last I heard, Michael and the rest of the Jacksons are Jehovah's Witnesses. I don't know if he is still practicing.

LONDON, England (Reuters)

Pop icon Michael Jackson said on Sunday he would authorise the release of video footage to prove a British television documentary about his private life was misleading and unfair.

P.S. For future reference, can someone tell me how to rename a link? For example, I wanted the above link to say "Read Full Story Here". How do I do that? Please PM me, so as not to hijack this thread. Thanks!

I don't think that he nor some of his other siblings are practicing. I've heard him and Janet speak of God, unless they refer to HIM/HER as God.

Did you notice the big ole Christmas Tree? That is not of the JW.

I remember when he was criticized by the JWs for the Thriller video (the portrayal of dead people and evil) and he took it off the market and refused to allow it to be shown. Then a few years later it was announced that he had left the religion and Thriller was re-released.

And true about the Christmas Tree because it is my understanding that they do not celebrate holidays, not even birthdays.

Ok I've been ghost for a minute but i have to say a few things

1. Ok why did Joe Jackson make the comment about Mike saying he regurgitated? Joe said "if he 'gurgitated, he gurgitated all the way to the bank"

Damn!

2. Now I don't know about you, but I have seen quite a few documentries and NOT ONE have I seen the person doing the interview "give his opinion" on it! Basir ought to be ashamed. And don't think I didn't catch Barbra Walters "sly comments" before every break. She just mad cause Oprah got the BIG interview first

3. I now truly believe that Mike DID NOT molest any kids. He's been sleeping with kids all this time and only one comes forward? Please! And Even O'Reilly said that the report on the smoking gun was WAY too advanced for a 12 year old to say. He got his 25 million and he's cool!

4. I don't agree that mike should be in the bed with the kids(did you see how the little boy was holding his hand and head on his shoulder like he was in love? ok really wierd) but let get real here folks. THE WHOLE FAMILY IS OFF. Mike is just the most "touched" out the bunch. If you think back, the whole family has done "odd" things. Joe ought to be skinned alive if he was doing that to those kids.

Watch for footage the Brit didn't show on his ABC interview.

AKA2D '91 · #12 02-21-2003, 09:20 AM

Did anyone see it?

exquizit · #13 02-21-2003, 09:44 AM

I watched all but the last few minutes of it. I agree with everyone that mike has issues, but I really feel that alot of people are twisting alot of things.

lovele1978 · #14 02-21-2003, 09:46 AM

I didn't see the whole thing, but from what I caught there was a lot of footage that Bashir edited to prove his point. Yes I do agree that Jackson is "touched", but Bashir definitely took a lot of things out of context. In my opinion he was being really two-faced with MJ.

NOWorNEVER · #15 02-21-2003, 10:18 AM

yes, i agree that a lot of things were twisted. And Debbie Rowe is ugly. My question to Mike would be, if you don't want to grow up, what happens when your children want to? He doesn't even like to discuss sex so how is he going to educate his children, especially his daughter.
