Okay, I need some help. If we all start to buy into the MJ/Elvis thing, how does that connect with a message of love, changing the world, justice for those without a voice, etc. I understand that it makes a great story and a huge publicity stunt, but where's Michael's message in all of that? If he wants to portray himself as other than an entertainer and he wants the world to take him seriously as other than a singer/dancer, how does that fit into Elvis/MJ thing? It could even make a great movie, but where's his message of love?Maybe I was deluded about the death hoax being for a greater good other than entertainment. Now I don't know.
I'm not trying to be difficult, but I really want to understand this.So the Elvis/MJ thing is only to get attention for his message and the reason why he hoaxed his death.These are the roadblocks for me.1) How much credibility will there be for him and his message if he links himself with Elvis whose death has been an ongoing source of numerous jokes for years. Also, is Elvis really relevant or has the same global exposure that Michael did? 2) So assume number 1 works, and everyone comes to this site (very wishful thinking) do we REALLY know why Michael hoaxed his death? We have a lot of conjectures but I've never seen a concrete and proven reason.I want to believe, I really do. But we midwesterners are hard to convince. In my gut, I feel like I'm being used in some way that does not feel right. I don't like that feeling. I can't lose it and haven't been able to ever since the Elvis thing came up. I know..I know...prove TS wrong. Don't have the time nor the commitment to do that. Something just doesn't feel right.
Souza, thanks for the taking the time to respond. I didn't explain myself very well. I wasn't expecting anyone to attempt to convince me. I think I have spent sufficient time to think this out. I only expressed what thoughts because it felt "phony" not to do so.I have always thought there was a spiritual reason for me to be here. It was so out of character for me to participate in something like this.But I think for me, I have received the message that I was supposed to hear. Ironically, that's why I have so little time to read or participate on the website. I'm very actively involved in multiple directions in trying to help those who are so struggling during this severe economic times in my community. I received that message from Michael's life. To take every talent you have and use it for others. I just happened to have some skills that fit for the economic times we are in right now. Part of what has been stressed here is for people to think for themselves. I so value that as well as the ability to express ourselves freely here. That's the only reason why I stated my feelings about where the website is headed. I'm not critical, just think that this is the fork in the road for me and I need to take what I have learned and use it to the max. I have this incredible need to be honest...however it does have its drawbacks.Souza and Mo - thanks for all the hard work you have done. Maybe both of you as well as everyone else on this site will never fully know or comprehend the impact you've made on people's lives. Who knows why God uses us in ways we can't comprehend or understand...maybe that's the most exciting game of all...life.
Really it's hard for me to believe Elvis' death was a hoax. For so many years in hidding - I don't know, somebody had to spot him somewhere.
