I hope that one day, and one day soon that we can all live in a world where we are not judge for the color of our skin, our religion( those of us that have one), how we dress, disease that we have, or the life we had growing up. I couldn't imagine growing up in a house were you was beatup all the time, being an adult and getting ridicule by the way your face looked to the point you changed your looks. Who are we to judge what has happen in this man's life. Trust me and I do mean trust there is only one judge regardless if we want to sit back argue back and forth what's right or what's wrong, if he did what he was accused of or what he was found not guilty of. All of us need to go outside and sweep our own doorsteps

Amen dustbunny the good book say those that Judge will be Judge with the same Judgment. I believe we have lost a great Icon and I havnt heard one person say what good things that MJ done in his life he had a heart of gold and gave when he seen a need. You cant say that about alot of entertainers and know I am not JW I am a christian and the God I believe in says all we have to do to be saved is believe that Jesus die for our sins and make Him our Savior. Do I believe that MJ will be Reserective I believe if he made Jesus his savior than yes I believe he will be resrective one day when our Lord and savuor returns as the scriptures says The dead and Christ shall rise first shall rise up into glory. Now its not my place to say rather MJ was saved that would be Judging rather he made it to Heaven and there is only one Judge our Father in haven. I just pray for the best for the children and have put them in Gods hands. as far as MJ as a father I think he was the best father he knew how to be and as far as coving there faces I think he was just trying to protect them from the media besides he did know what it was like to be in the media at a very young age. R.I.P. MJ

For this reason I think that JANET
is the perfect one to raise the children.

I used to date a man who was raised JW. He was a really messed up person. He finally refused to attend services anymore when he was 14. He told me that he had no childhood, no birthday parties, no Christmas, no fun. Just being drug from house to house to preach. It sounds like a real depressing religion. These kids have already been thru enough. I truly hope that they are not subjected to the JW way of life.

Good to go bravo Janet!

Michael Jackson was estranged from the Jehovah's Witnesses and NOW the Watchtower Jehovah's Witnesses are making propaganda that they made him 'happy'.
Once one studies the history of the Watchtower organization, one begins to understand that many of the Jehovah's Witnesses rules are just man made laws that have little or no Bible authority,like saying MJ is coming back in a mortal resurrection.

Do a web index keyword search of Jehovah Witness read the pro and con about this group.

I am just now reading the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures and I find it to make the most sense out of all the Christian Bibles I've read. You keep with your faith, kiddo. Jehovah knows those of us who are faithful to Him and His commandments.

I was born 3rd generation Jehovah's Witness 1957,and am the same age (51) as Michael Jackson,I remember the Jackson 5 debut in 1968 they were BIG.

MJ was baptized a Jehovah's Witness and then disfellowshipped/disassociated/excommunicated to be shunned.

A lot of my dysfunctional life is directly related to my apocalyptic Watchtower sect upbringing indoctrination and I wonder about same with Michael Jackson?

There are a million hurting EXJW kids out there. Best regards,Danny Haszard

What a small world Danny! I too was rased as a third generation witness and was born in 1956, however I did learn to count and I'm 53. I've also remained loyal to my faith. I've seen your frequent posts to anything mentioning Jehovah's Witnesses and realize you are disturbed about your "disfellowshipping" but man, give it a rest. You either you have a lot of hate or alot of time on your hands. Yes, there are millions of hurting exJW kids out there but they are there because they CHOSE to be there, just like you. You have to work hard to get disfellowshipped and it's all based on YOUR attitude. Your life is dysfuntional because of many factors I'm sure, but some of those choices were yours. Come on son! Take some responsibility in your life for a change. And to all of you Danny Haszard fans out there, the way of the "Truth" is the best way of living, not like your hero, living in front of his computor looking for any oportunity to bash decent, hard working people who don't cater to Danny's hatred.
Come on back Danny, even King Manassa was forgiven and he passed his son's through the fire, you haven't done that yet, or have you????

i am 14 years old and im being raised a Jehovah's witness. i am now an unbaptised publisher. i truly believe that mj is going to be resurrected.the reason i think mj 'made' his children wear veils is so that the media wouldnt ruin their lives or get involved in their lives and i dont blame him for that. i think janet jackson would be a great 'mother' to his children. to everyone who has a negative comment to make about us,Jehovah's witnesses we take no offense. everyone has an opinion and are free to say what they want.for those who have a problem with the rules such as no blood transfusion, Jehovah has those rules so he could protect us and you need to understand that. Being a part of the christain congregation of Jehovah's witness has a positive effect on me. i can open my mind an now see what i really want in my life or what i want to do.so please dont hate on my religion. a group of us talked to a young man today who said that he has no religion anymore because he stopped going to church. he said when he went back everything was hazy. when i go to the kingdom hall i listen carefully because i want to be in paradise and i know everyone does because God placed the desire to live forever in everyone's heart. i agree that mj's children should have a say. i think mj wanted them with his mom for that reason. so they'll be raised as witnesses. what i find good is having and open mind about situations and that's what i do. i know for a 14 year old i have alot to say. i apologize if i offended anyone i didnt mean to. i wish the jackson family best of luck and hope everything goes well.

Are you people talking about finding a good home for children or dogs? You don't place children with someone because they SEEM like a good person. I think we need to place children with a little more care than with someone who has a nice yard where they can run around.

They need to be placed with someone who will help to undo all the psychological damage that has been done to them being caught up in this freak show.

Unfortunately these kids are just a financial asset and there will be less emphasis on finding the proper home for them than where they can generate the most revenue.

These kids were ebing forced to wear masks and the only thing about the story that upsets you is that the writer mentioned they were black and you think the problem here is that he is a racist?

Are you brain dead?

The issue here is that these kids have been psychologically damaged by abusive behavior and all you care about is some possible racial sterotype that you had to stretch like Gumpy on steroids to try to make.

I have never called anyone an idiot before on a blog, but with you I will make the exception

Hattie Kaufman get her "confirmed" information from a tabloid journalist. He probably got his information from Bubbles the chimp. It's nice to see that she has journalistic integrity. Why doesn't she just publish her own opinion as facts. Oh wait, she already has!

I hope they don't get too tired waiting for Michael to be resurrected.
It might be a Looooooong wait. LOL
Their best bet would be to live with Janet Jackson. She seems to be a solid good person.

spiritwalk, our foster care system can't even do that.

Am I reading the 5th paragraph right? "they haven't been seen once with the BLACK FACE MASKS they wore while Michael was alive." Does whoever wrote this know what serious negative racial connotation the term "black face" has? Michael Jackson's children may have worn "black masks" at some point, but the fact is they wore many different kinds and colors of masks. I have seen photos of them in wild Mardi Gras masks in assorted vivid colors. Anyone in journalism should be able to tell you that "face mask" is redundant and unnecessary in this context. It appears either a a glaring error in wording or a deliberate dig by an organization with an underlying racist view/agenda. I will be writing the main portion of the site, but I suggest CBS edit this immediately and have a discussion with whoever the ill-informed individual is you had write this piece and apprise them of the meaning of the term "black face". This is reinforcing a stereotype: my view of CBS as a misogynistic, all-white, old school entity. FYI - I am not black, but I have friends and family who are, and some of them can't believe this.

You have to wonder what is going through the kids minds. Do all these people want us because they loved MJ and want to do right for the kids. Or do they want the kids because of the bank accounts and money that will follow them. What do you all think?

Rowe wants the M-O-N-E-Y folks..If she was truly interetsed in the kids, she would have stayed a more active role in their life. I say let them go to Janet..And for you others, have you really looked at "Blanket"? He LOOKS like Michael.

Going to the JW services might actually be a good thing for these kids. At least it is some sort of socializing.

These kids have spent their lives being forced to wear mask, virtually confined to the property, no experience of socializing in school, probably with no friends except the starry eyed children that their parents brought to play with Michael and not the children themselves. They have been conditioned to hide from people and only trust those in the entourage.

Nobody in their right minds could believe these kids were not so socially and emotionally stunted that they could function anywhere near that of normal children their age.

What these kids need is to be out of the Jackson family celebrity stalag and more in contact with more well balanced people.

I was raised a catholic/ then jehovah's witness but not baptized kid.
As I grew into both religions, I'd come to realize the hypocracy of each and as I trust science as a true route to knowledge, come to realize our foolishness as a species as to believe in any religion. Indeed the ancient priests used to practice magic to keep the people faithful with the price for admission...temples were built to perform feats such as bleeding statues, levitating sculptors, and such...
As for the religions of Catholicism and Jehovah's witnesses are involved.
History itself shows us Catholicism cannot be true to God.
As for the Jehovah's Witness's...the "brother" son of an "elder" he was trying to indoctrinate me was convicted of insurance fraud, and his assistant who ocassoinally keeps knocking at my door these days was convicted of wire fraud....the common denominator is fraud.

How these children ended up in Michael Jackson's custody and legal status is not known to me. How is Michael Jackson legitimately the father of the kids?
He is not the genetic father, the kids were invetro.
The mother isn't even the genentic mother either. She just agreed to carry eggs to mature and produce the children...nobody seems to know whose eggs they were.
THIS ALL SEEMS WRONG TO ME.

Michael is the legitimate. He is the father and Debbie Rowe is the Mother of hie first two children. As for the third child, Blanket, Michael is the one that gave his sperm to a clinic and Michael and the real mother made an agreement NOT to tell anyone. Also if Debbie was not biological Mother, then why is she fighting for custody?
