Save The Children-Do not wish to be associated with Michael.

[everlastinglove_MJ]

:shock:  :?    :x I can't find the words... well all I have to say is: this is hypocrite! Save The Children became successful due to Michael's name, now they turn their back on MJ because they're afraid of "bad" reputation which is based on tabloid media garbage.

[hesouttamylife]

Well I guess they won’t be getting a penny from me :roll:   The nerve of them to use the excuse of negative press from 2005 as an excuse now.  Perhaps it would be a better choice to do a twitterthon to let MJ fans know their stand on Michael Jackson just in case they are making or considering making donations to them.  That’s really awful.

I wonder if OperationSmile feels the same way because I have been seriously considering donating to them.  I think it’s something Michael would have endorsed.  I really need to research that because I did not know that there were still large, reputable charities that were of that mindset :shock:   Any charity that feels that way doesn’t deserve a cent of my hard earned money.  I’m sorry but NO.  That gives me a sinking feeling.  I mean really :shock:

[MJTruth77]

I don't get it, I just don't get it.  It really never ceases to amaze me how the media brainwashing is so successful.

Save The Children needs to stop listening to lies and see the whole truth.  That Michael is 110% innocent and is only guilty of having a BIG heart for all children, especially those less fortunate.

[MJhasSpoken]

OMG...thats so sad...MJ must be really hurt by this.

[Sinderella]

Don't see anyone else or any other celebrities fan's offering to give them mass donations....

[Its her]

They do know.They say it themselves in their reply,how they know about his contributions of time and money to various charities but that he had negative press regarding children and they don't wish to be associated with him.
Unbelieveable and as I said...selfish and ignorant.How many children could benefit from it?They aren't bothered because they might end up being in the media themselves and that would be tragic wouldn't it...morons.

Maybe they are just pissed they aren't already on this list of charities he has helped in the past...

I would not get all wound up over this. Simply shake the dust off your feet and let them find a WORTHY charitable organization to put as a hot button on the website. There are  8-) millions of worthy, honest charities. Also, the charity on the button could change regularly, in order to spread the donations around...You can't go nuts over every ignorant person on earth. Choose your battles carefully. In this one: just turn the other cheek and move on.

Don't you think MJ had reasons for their not being on his list??  

I have SERIOUS doubts about the integrity (let alone the intelligence) of any organization who is more afraid of losing funds which have already been committed to them, than opening their hands to future contributions, possibly of gigantic proportions, in comparison. This tells me they have gotten QUITE comfortable having their ADMINISTRATIVE salaries covered, and they do not want to rock THAT boat, EVEN for "The CHILDREN".  

This also tells me they don't even believe in their OWN cause!! They don't believe they CAN convey enough passion for the temporal needs of the world's children, in order to secure future funds. They are too interested in preserving any PRESUMED ignorant sensibilities of their static mailing list...  

If they are doing anything good, leave them to it. THEY, themselves, have decided they want nothing to do with the Name of the man who spoke about LOVE more than anyone on Earth :roll: ! You can't change frozen minds. Only God can. It is none of our business.

Please, remember who it is you would be representing, before you fire off rabid comments to them! Just saying... :|

I appriciate your thoughts and comments,but please do not tell me what to and what not what to do.I know you mean well but I don't need to be told who I would represent to turn the other cheek to,and how to feel about certain things going on in the world.
I am a grown woman.
What rabid comments?I haven't said in any of my posts I was contacting anyone,I have stated my feelings on the organisation and their comments/behaviour regarding this matter.Which I am entitled to do as someone who supports Michael,and also gives to charity.
I have shared a piece of information that is being shared and talked about within all circles of the MJ community-nons,believers,fanatics,supporters.I never wrote the thing and I have never projected a wish to try and change their minds.It is more than clear they are set on staying in 2005 with the media's BS lies and can't move on.
With that all in mind,although they appear to be frozen minded and unable to think for themselves,I do feel it is my business.I they were to put a donation envelope through my door and I never knew what they had said about Michael,I would happily be giving them money under false pretences and I'm not ok with that tbh.

As I said I appriciate your comments and point of view and I do question their integrity myself so I'm with you 100% on that but I don't appriciate you directing your comments soley at me.99.9% of everyone commenting on this thread feels the same about it so please direct your thoughts to everyone as a group or as your opinion =]

[Its her]

Begging your pardon, Sinderella, I used your post in AGREEMENT. Be ASSURED, I would not have quoted you if I did not wish my name to be associated with what you said. And I wasn't cramming anything down any throats. In my post I said: "JUST SAYING..."

As for my SUGGESTIONs (I thought that the purpose of these boards was to express opinions) I wasn't even talking to you, let alone "solely" to you, and you know it. Your post doesn't say anything about retaliation, and you said you had no intention of making rabid comments. Why would I direct comments to you???

A couple of posts mentioned writing scathing comments to the actual charity. As you can see, I didn't quote their posts, even as examples of what I was talking about.

My point was that for all everyone's talk about the "Army of Love", I was concerned that lambasting charities by MICHAEL JACKSON FANS is seriously counterproductive, as well as another thing I won't mention.

You insist on being treated like a grown woman (where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, Deb French, is that YOU? Hello, again.), and then you proceed to disrespect me in the manner you perceive I have disrespected you.  :?

I NEVER mean any disrespect to anyone on these threads, and EVERY post of mine is OBVIOUSLY my opinion, as anyone can see by my screen name on them. Offering my opinion is meant to be conversational, for fun; helpful, not divisive. I appreciate the "heads up", though. The last few months, here, there has seemed to be a very harsh, hostile element of unrest.

And, btw, I am not intimidated at all by your mention of the "99.9%". Whether you meant it aggressively as, "the mob rules" or just to demonstrate solidarity, those 99.9% are entitled to their individual opinions as well. They do not alter mine. And there is no animosity.

I love reading them. :!:  :!:

Anyway,

To quote TS: "The clock is ticking, and there is no time for unimportant or unkind controversy." I don't have the time for any more controversy than has already been generated by MJ himself.  :lol:  My plate is full. Peace to you ALL .  

They do know.They say it themselves in their reply,how they know about his contributions of time and money to various charities but that he had negative press regarding children and they don't wish to be associated with him.

I'm very sad to learn that. Problem is that not only them hold these prejudices against Michael and this is the result of the conspiracy, of the media lies. Therefore the problem has to be solved at its root.

This is true they killed Michael,..destroyed his reputation and as we see the damage is so great that yet to today endures.

…but is this Michael Jackson?  How do we know for sure?

Your post doesn't say anything about retaliation, and you said you had no intention of making rabid comments. Why would I direct comments to you???  

I knew it?No,I didn't I said what I thought.You quoted my post did you not?
so yes,I thought it was directed at me.You quoted no one else so I personally don't think I am wrong for assuming that.

You insist on being treated like a grown woman (where have I heard that before? Oh, yes, Deb French, is that YOU? Hello, again.), and then you proceed to disrespect me in the manner you perceive I have disrespected you.  :?

Excuse me??!!That's quite rude.I have not insisted on anything,I merely stated.
No,I am not Deborah French.The only dealings with her I have had are via twitter and she is a non believer.She is also British...and an entireley other person.
I did not 'disrespect you AT ALL.I actually said TWICE I valued your opinions.

And, btw, I am not intimidated at all by your mention of the "99.9%". Whether you meant it aggressively as, "the mob rules" or just to demonstrate solidarity, those 99.9% are entitled to their individual opinions as well. They do not alter mine. And there is no animosity.

that comment was not written to intimidate ANYONE.I do nothing but good for this forum and it's members and I am nice and respectful to everyone until they cross lines and break rules.I am not here to change anyone's mind on anything as I do not wish mine to be changed by anyone else.

I hope,this clears it up?


@Dancer, thank you for posting all of that info =]

In any case it is true that many people do not want to be associated with Michael Jackson and they do not care to know how many works of charity he did.
Some days ago someone told me "Oh, I did not imagine that you liked so much MJ, because I've always seen you as a serious person." I replied that just because I am a serious person, I really like him.

At the beginning of this hoax, I thought that he had staged his death because he and his name had been tarnished and for this reason he was no longer able to heal the world as before.
With all the sales associated with his name in the last two years and then when he’ll come back, I think he can heal the world  more than ever before. I really hope that!
Great Michael!

Which country was this "Save the Children" in?

I find this odd...  as i donated some money at Xmas time, and did so in the name of Michael.

And i got a public re-tweet and a thankyou from Save the Children UK...  so they were not against having a donation in Michael Jacksons name.
