Apostolic Friends Forum - michael jackson in state ?

I said the same thing this weekend. I miss him. Of all the things I have read about him my entire life, I have always prayed his heart could be healed, because it was so obvious to me he was hurting. Even though everyone judged him, I almost understood why he did some of the "strange" things he did.

Between him and another Neo Soul singer (Maxwell) I always pray(ed) to meet them...because I want(ed) to offer something to them...a chance for love and acceptance from the One, the only One that could give it.

At least there is still time for such an encounter with Maxwell. Even though I think I would faint first. :thumbsup (j/k)

Part of the reason, I think, he paid these folks off is because it's impossible for most folks to understand how a man who had his childhood ripped from him could experience the level of worldly success he experienced and still want more.

What he wanted, he could never get back.

He kept trying-- he thought he could buy it.

He thought he could buy acceptance, after all, his idea of being accepted as a person and person only was warped from childhood.

I think MJ physically slept in the same bed as children-- but not for the purpose of sex with them.

The man was hurting and broken, long before he ever became a man.

In fact, somewhere inside, there was a little boy who never got the chance to really mature.

He lived and died a sad little boy.

Had he been saved when he died, he would have at least had a chance of knowing true acceptance and true love.

Instead, he died sad and alone.
