Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson's funeral is just around the corner. Anybody who doesn't know that must be on a different planet.
Question: What kind of funeral service will it be?
Answer: We don't know yet.
It seems that Jacko adhered to not a few different faiths in his half-century walk on earth - Islam, Scientology, Kabbalism, Jediism. He was raised Jehovah's Witness and Gurley makes a case for Michael maybe, just maybe becoming a Christian near the end of his life.
But, a spokesperson said about Michael Jackson's encounter with Andrea and Sandra Crouch -
“Andrae and Sandra did in fact visit with Michael Jackson two times, once at the recording studio, and once at his home in the last two months, as recently as three weeks ago, asking for prayer concerning the anointing of the Holy Spirit, and how he could make his music more ‘spiritual,’” noted Crouch’s Facebook administrator.
“So Andrae and Sandra explained to him about the anointing and about Jesus. He wanted to know what makes your hands go up, and makes you ‘come out of yourself,’ and what gives a ‘spirituality’ to the music? He then requested to hear his favorite song that he loves and wanted then to sing to him, so they...joined hands and sang together, and he said, ‘it was beautiful.’ He first heard it in New York, and loved it and wanted it on tape. He had the engineer tape the song sang to him by Andrae and Sandra. He definitely had an encounter with them.”
As to whether or not the legendary singer had prayed to receive Christ, through his spokesman Crouch responded: “He did NOT reject Jesus or the prayer when (we) prayed, and gladly joined in prayer.”
Whatever Michael Jackson was at the end, he has already by now been asked to give an accounting to the Creator.
The question really should be - Are you a Christian?
The answer is?

THINK! Much of Michael Jackson wacko disturbances are a direct result of his contradictory fundamentalist Jehovah's Witnesses upbringing
I find it interesting that he left Jehovah's Witness and certainly was involved with other faiths. This is an obomonation in the eyes of the Watchtower Bible Society. Michael (if the Society treated everyone fairly) would have been disfellowshiped or he may have disassociated himself from this religion. That would mean that any baptized member including family members, would have had to shun him for the last few years of his life.
It is my opinion that many of these people in this faith are hypocrites, who live secret lives.
Between his cruel daddy and his religious upbringing it's a wonder he was able to function at all. Very sad. BUT for the grace of God, there go you, there go I, there goes anybody!
I'd rather embrace atheism than J W.
Christianity is intellectual suicide.
Don't buy the lie.
Be brave; be strong; be an atheist!
Christians believe that a place in paradise belongs to those who accept Jesus as their payment for ANY and EVERY sin they have ever commited here on earth… This doesn´t make us intolerant but just faithful adherents to what the Bible actually says:
Jesus said “ I told you that you will die in your sins, if you do not believe that I am the one I claim to be, you will indeed die in your sins. (John 8:24)
He also said “ I tell you the truth that everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever . So if the Son sets you free , you will be free indeed.“
(John 8:35)
Only God truly knows if Michael accepted this truth and we cannot judge where Michael is now.. only God knows what was truly in his heart. I pray that He is in the presence of Jesus right now and enjoying the unconditional love he never really experienced here on earth..
All Jehovah's Witnesses kids raised in this cult grow up stressed! They are isolated from the world, they are so afraid of being disfellowshipped.
My husband was disfellowshipped from this cult and I think it was the best thing that could ever happen to him.
All we know is that MJ was not a JW when he died, nor has he been for a long time.
JW parents raise there children to have knowledge of the bible but no one is forced to become a JW. It is a choice that all children of JW's must make on there own. MJ made his choice and chose not to be one of Jehovah's Wittnesses.
I am not sure if he was Disfellowshipped or if he just stopped associating with JWs. But either way as a JW parent his mother would still show love and affection for him it would only be apporptiate. In the case of a child being "DF'ed" a christian parent does not hate their child but only hate the worng act committed. i.e. drug abuse, fornication etc...
MJ's mom will be a good role model for his children and if she has the privelage to raise them as JW's hopefull they make a wiser choice the Michael.
I wish the best to his family and to you and all of yours!
he knows about jesus he knows he was the son of god jw`s think that god lives but jesus kind of but half of my fam fam is jw im not my dads a pastor the thing is hes in a better place the kids will be jw cuz of a their jw she well take them to the jw hall or if theywant to be christian jw are not that bad im a full christian i would be a morman is i was not a christian
