I heard a report that pills could have been involved. That is the way it was stated.

He was a creative genius, but a troubled soul.

Back in the 80's my wife and I were watching that Motown show live on TV when he did the moonwalk for the very first time publicly and it was astounding. Our mouths were hanging open and I had goose bumps on my arms as he appeared to be doing the impossible.

In his prime he was an incredible enterainer. I hated to see him deteriorate in every aspect of his life from that prime.

I will be praying for his family.

such a handsome and talented kid right up through most of the 80s and then the 90s come alomg and he totally changes with plastic surgery, i guess, until he just looks bizarre i would like to know what caused this change. maybe his kids will have a chance to grow up now without these bizarre phobias of his and be normal? amazing ! aint the lawyers gonna have fun fighting over whats left of his money and the beatles catalog that he doesnt own much of anymore !

Now Now, don't be like that. We have been hearing so much of FF long before she died. We had to watch her documentary. We had to see the reruns of the documentary. We heard about her everyday on Good Morning America, The Today Show,etc. FF really did have her moment in the spotlight. It is okay for MJ to have these moments. Even if you don't want to admit it, the world loved Michael Jackson.

I grew up with him in the 80s and I am sad to hear of his death. He was a man with issues but you can't deny his musical ability.

Yeah his music ability is undeniable... if you can get past the accompanying images of a him grabbing his own crotch on stage.

warrior 06-25-2009 08:38 PM

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
Yeah, he did do that quite frequently. Shhh dont tell anyone, but I loved his music as a kid. Even though I am saved now, there is still appreciation for the music.

I guess that was not one of them?

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
I snuck out of church with my cousin to watch MJ perform Billie Jean on Motown's 25th anniversary. We got in trouble but it was worth it.

I have a question about MJ's death. Do you think or know that he is in hell? I was on Facebook and could not believe how Jesus Name people could be so cruel and judgmental. We all know that MJ was a JW. On FB they were making jokes about MJ's face melting in hell and other cruel jokes. I felt offended for the family. I told them that they should not be judging him no matter what. He had his issues but the bottom line is that MJ did not have a normal life but was still was a human. Human's have feelings and that included MJ. I told them that it's really sad that for all those who know the truth, have the love of God in them could be so cruel. Instead of making jokes about his death, they should be praying for the family to find comfort. MJ's three kids no longer have a father. He was not a freak to them but "daddy." They came back at me qouting every scripture about being born of the water and spirit. I know them all that was not my point. My point was that they should not be so judgmental because I am sure there are some who were baptized Jesus Name in hell. They didn't get it. I realized that I was dealing with ignorant people. So glad I no longer go to that church.

I remember seeing MJ for the first time when he appeared with his brothers.....The Jackson 5. The little black boy with the afro, stole the show every time! He really did have tremendous talent.....I feel terribly sad for his family.

I don't know anything about facebook so I cannot comment on that.

But in all fairness let's be real.

This man, MJ, was a perverse man who chose a lifestyle because he like it. Regardless of his musical talents it does not change the facts that he was effeminate, that he delved into witchcraft, he was a sexual deviant, that he was a pervert towards children, ... how much more must be said?

Am I sorry that someone died? Absolutley! There was nothing in his lifestyle lately that even hints that he had changed, the Bible says judge righteous judgment! It appears that MJ died in an unrepentive state and if that is the case I am saddened for THAT FACT and that fact alone!

I was not impressed with his crotch grabbing, perverted twisted lifestyle, his style of music, his child pursuing ways, at all! He was no better and no worse than Liberace! I mourn no more or no less than if my neighbor, who is a public nobody, dies unsaved!

If we are to mourn over this death let's keep it in context with Christianity and mourn for a lost soul, keeping in mind that he chose the lifestyle that he was in! His music was not conducive to Christianity, I mean, at least Elvis when he was alive sang at least a little Gospel to keep up some facades!

Excuse my ranting, dismiss it if you will, but let's keep this thing in proper context!

I grew up in that era when thriller was a big thing. I could read the newspaper as can anyone.

Let's see!
1- Effiminate- look at the pictures, can you come to any other conclusion?
2- Witchcraft - Thriller.
3- Perverse - The constant public accusations of pursuing children,... the man paid $20 million dollars to the parents of a child in order for them to drop a suit against him for child sexual assault!

Friend, how else should I read this situation?

KWSS1976 06-26-2009 06:59 AM

You get witchcraft out of Thriller...LOL ROTF

I am not saying MJ was perfect but if all you got is the media to make your claims then you need to be finding a better source...

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
Yesterday was tough ... pretty sad day. I grew up listening to MJ ... even left a Gen Conference service to try and catch one of his live concerts that was on television when I was about 11 or 12. I loved MJ. His music was incredible back in the day; his dance moves were amazing.

I know the man's lifestyle wasn't right. He had a lot of troubling issues. I'd rather not read about him burning in hell or bad jokes about his lifestyle, etc. Some pentecostals almost seem to revel in the deaths of celebrities and their being in hell. It's sad.

So seeings how you know him so close and personal like, tell us what he was really like! You tell me not to use media to verify my claims then throw a media clip at me to substantiate yours? Funny!

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
You know, it is so easy to pass judgement when it is not us or our loved ones. Please let's pray that this be a wake up call for the world. God can come and require your sould at any moment. Your earthly status makes no difference. Let us pray that the family will receive a wake up call and become born again heirs to the kingdom of God.

It is prayer time! There is no help for his soul as it is already gone. But there truly is help for those who are still alive.

KWSS1976 06-26-2009 07:25 AM

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
Warrior how do you know that they need a wakeup call to become born again...In there eyes they might be born again I am not taking up for the family or MJ but only god and them know if they are right or not....

warrior 06-26-2009 07:30 AM

Re: What a Day! Michael Jackson Dies!!!!!
 
KWSS1976, this is more of a general comment than anything. If they are not born again, I pray for them that they be introduced to the only person that can save anybody's soul. That is for the entire world, my family, your family. The human family!
