Comments on: Reading Michael Jackson http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/2003/11/21/michael-jackson-jehovah-witness-influence Contagious Thoughts, Mutating as Needed Sun, 18 Oct 2009 18:07:23 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Flavio http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/2003/11/21/michael-jackson-jehovah-witness-influence/comment-page-1#comment-77610 Flavio Wed, 15 Jul 2009 22:02:51 +0000 http://www.virushead.net/vhrandom/?p=4#comment-77610 I completely agree with this description of Michael Jackson and I must admit that when I heard about his death I felt so sad inside even if I wasn't a crazy fan of him. He was a child fighting alone probably without true parents or friens capabale to help him. I think there is in all of us a little hurt child and he represent to me that part of me and move my heart to compassion... I do not know if he was a phedophile, but I don't think so.. Children to protect him from the real world made by cruel adults.. haunting me too... regards from Italy to you all and may be rest in peace in heaven..

"Takes one to know one" in this case. From my own thoughts and feelings, which were echoed here, my guess is you are right on the money. I too think (know) Michael's actions were merely his reaching out to be understood, to be loved for his true soul self...hard to explain to someone who has not been there. May he rest in peace. If there is a God, and if he truly is a God of Love, we will be blessed with MJ again one day...it's what's in the Heart. Hear hear to those who were JWs. “Takes one to know one” in this case.

He was still a boy trapped in an adults body. He tried so hard to recapture his childhood he never had, but no kids or neverland could fill the loneliness and void he felt. He needed help so badly, and he was slammed at the end. this is a very good observation of Michael Jackson. He was still a boy trapped in an adults body.

I said that if he was guilty, he should be prosecuted. In addition, I track the psychology of Jehovah's Witnesses and their mindset, which all to often leads to child abuse of various kinds, including pedophilia. I had sympathy for Michael, and it is no less than the sympathy I have for other victims. Check out how much cash the Watchtower Society paid out for gag orders so that people wouldn't testify. Your comment was not very thoughtful. Clearly you didn’t read the post. I said that if he was guilty, he should be prosecuted.

Have you put this much effort into understanding the pedophiles that live in prisons-some near you? Or is this understanding reserved for highly famous and talented pedophiles? I suspect it's the latter. Disgusting. These truly innocent kids lives are ruined and you are concerned with a self-serving adult's psyche? He must sing one hell of a song...

Speaking as another former Jehovah's Witness, I think you have it right. I also left due to issues with self expression late in High School (Theatre and Journalism were the points of contention). I remember the pain of being sat down, quite by surprise, after a meeting, and having my work dissected by the very men I grew up wishing to emulate. It took me over two decades of self-destructive overeating, years of therapy, and finally, surgical intervention, to even bring my self-loathing, anger, sense of loss, and bitterness to heel....it haunts me still....yet I still feel joy every day I am alive....I have, and have always loved my life. For Michael, I can only imagine the horror of living with so much more unimaginable shear-forces tearing at him.....it can only have gotten worse as his life went on. I see those forces tearing him in different directions as what broke him...you can almost track the breaking point to 1987.....and separated him from reality. The thought of his lonely, day to day life, inside his head, with no one to fully understand, haunts me too. Thank you for your perceptive observations. Chuck Haunting…that is exctly the word.
