I respected Michael Jackson as a person and I loved his music, his dancing, his creativity and the fact that he was a great Father to his children. I am so sorry that he is gone at 50 years old. I don't appreciate people talking negative about him period, but especially since his death. So, with that being said...I just want to say something.
We knew Michael Jackson...but not really. We knew of him. We didn't know him personally. How can people who don't really know Michael Jackson as a person believe all of that garbage about him molesting children? He was different. But, if you listen to the documentaries and all of the interviews that he did and paid attention to what he was really saying...you would know that he didn't do all of that. I understand some of his behavior. Michael Jackson never got to experience childhood and growing up as a little boy. It was jerked out from under him at age 5 when he started singing. He didn't get to grow up and he had a horrible relationship with his Father...and the whole world wanted something from him. They cared about what they could get from him. They practically drained him. Considering how he had to live and how he was used and abused...I am surprised he lived this long. My point is this, I lost my son 7 years ago. I was so devastated that I wanted to die. If it weren't for God (of course) and my daughter and my grandkids I wouldn't have made it. I could be so depressed that I wanted to die at times after I lost my son. But, I could go to my daughter's house and be with my grandkids and I forgot about everything for the moment. It was like therapy and healing for my broken heart. Kids have a way of making you forget about things and for the moment you are in a different world. They are innocent and they accept you for you and they don't judge you and they don't want anything from you. They just love you unconditionally. So...why wouldn't Michael be comfortable around kids...the ones that he invited to Neverland. They probably made him feel wonderful and he could lose himself in the moment and have fun and he didn't have to worry about not being able to be a normal person. He was probably enjoying being a kid with them and watching them have fun made him happy. Why is that so hard to understand and why is that so terrible? I am sorry, but I don't believe all of that stuff that they said about him.
And...don't forget this...he who is without sin, cast the first stone. A sin is a sin, it doesn't matter what it is, how big or how little...it is a sin in God's eyes. So those who talk against Michael Jackson and accuse him of those horrible things...they are sinning. They have no proof...it is speculation. Duh, the opportunity to get rich came to the boy and his family and they took it. There were a lot of people who liked Michael Jackson for what they could get out of him. They figured everyone would believe the garbage because he was strange. I don't think they gave it a second thought. Just like those who condemned Jesus. They didn't give it a second thought. They just wanted to get rid of him. Money is the root of all evil...and in Michael Jackson's case...money was used in the wrong way many times.
I thought the Memorial was Awesome! The presence of God was there and God's people were shining. It was for Michael Jackson but it was also about God and Michael. The fact that God gave Michael Jackson to this world with his talent. Talent that came from God. In the past, Michael Jackson has acknowledged that fact and has thanked God for his talent. I think God used this Memorial service and the fact that he had everyone's attention today to get through to people and show them what it is all about. Many good things have come out of Michael's death and his Memorial.
It is sad because we lost Michael Jackson but wonderful that God allowed Michael to shine and that God was glorified and acknowledged also.
Thank you God for giving us Michael Jackson and for giving your son Jesus to us. You are awesome!

I would like to pass this on. email me at : brendachbb@yahoo.com name is brenda and screen name is supernanaw
read your profile and your story about your son ,i am sorry for your loneliness , i know you must miss him a lot , but what a comfort to know He is present with the Lord. in Jesus name.
Thank you....
I too have been thinking this same thing. I don't understand how the media can get away with all the spreading of what they don't even know is truth or not. I feel in a way...they are as much to blame for his death as those that gave him any drugs he may or not have had.
If you watch the video of "Leave Me Alone"...he is asking just what you said...stop talking about me...stop saying crazy things...just leave me alone.
They said he had all these strange habits...but, if you lived his life...you might have them too. They also say he had all this strange security...including his bedroom....but, I think...WHY THE HECK NOT....this was maybe the only place on earth he felt totally safe...and yet...in the end...so not...
He turned Neverland into a magical place for him and other kids to go and enjoy themselves. That was also taken from him. Everything he loved....he lost.
I knew he had kids...but, somehow...because I don't really get into the "whole celebrity thing"...never thought too much about them...He had them...and that was that....Till I heard his little girl call him Daddy....that broke my heart....this was a MAN...and human...he bleeds just like us...he feels just like us....and he hurts just like us....yet, he has been so used and abused and painted as this awful monster...and in the end....Just as you said...We never really knew him at all...and there is no way we could have....cause the media can't stand just plain jane...NOPE...hype...hysteria....all make for much better news.
Rest in peace Michael....may they find a wonderful quite beautiful place to lie you down to sleep now.
As for Neverland...I do hope that they make this a tribute to you....place your belongings back in it...open it up to the public...and keep it for your kids...as they have memories of you and of you and them there....and someday....they may want it....something good needs to come of the magical place you made for an escape from the real world.
I wish the press would leave the children alone....so what if it's NOT his DNA....they were his kids....Daddy to them....he loved them...they loved him...and now he is gone...leave them alone....they have been through enough!
Thank you for your post...I wondered if there was anyone out there that thought like I did....and I am glad to see I am not alone....
