Well, the title of the article says it all.
hmmm... this is a very interesting article fo rme...before i post, just want to request no judgement here. i do not push my views on anyone nor judge anyone for their religious beliefs. i love people of all religious denominations and hope people respect that i have mine. i dont use forums to preach about my personal religious views and in fact prefer to keep my personal beliefs out of my posts, however i feel that it is fitting to comment as it related to the subject matter. also this article raises questions for me re: rebbie and her involvement in DH which i'd love to hear others opinion on i am a practicing JW i can confirm that we most certainly do not believe in reincarnation, and yes it is correct that we do believe in ressurection. BUT this is NOT immediately after someone dies. we believe all those who have died are still waiting in SHEOL (common grave or the earth) and it is at an appointed time after armageddon, after evil is taken away from the earth, when ALL dead in memorial tombs will come out and be ressurected to life here on earth, as per John 5:28-29 “. . .8 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, . . .”this article says that rebbie is looking forward to seeing MJ in next life. i am wondering if they were the journalists words or hers. did she merely say i am looking forward to seeing him.... meaning seeing him soon due to BAM or was she in fact talking of resurrection when Jesus calls all thouse out of the memorial tombs and brings the dead back to life in a perfect GODLY, just, painfree world.... according to rev.21:4 and 5 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.so i am unsure if she is making reference to seeing him @ or after BAM or making reference to her beliefs as a Jehovahs Witness... if she was talking about resurrection as accoriding to what Jehovahs Witnesses believe, then she is in fact not inferring but stating that he is actually dead... (thats how I am reading it as a JW)so therefore this raises questions for me...i have to say with me personally, i am 99.9 percent positive MJ faked death... the only 0.1 percent that (not gives me doubt, too strong of a word) that I have questions around, is Rebbie Jackson....are there any here who think she (or any other family) might actually not be 'in on the hoax' i am not sure what i think, but do wonder abt this occasionally. the only ONE reason that i am saying this is because that it is against Jehovahs Witness beliefs to lie. in fact it is one of the most detestable things according to what we learn in the bible... so for her to go along with this lie, not so much go along, but to state herself that MJ is dead which means she is not merely going along with DH or not blowing the cover of DH, rather that she is actively lying too (as he is alive) this in fact 'technically' goes against Jehovahs Witnesses' christian beliefs. Lying is condemmed in many scriptures, one example is as per Rev 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. really it is something Jehovahs Witnesses pride themselves on, not lying.so sometimes it makes me wonder, esp with statements such as the one in this article abt seeing MJ in next life, (if it was Rebbie who in fact inferred that) does Rebbie know? is she in on DH? Because also her interview on the view was also pretty convincing that MJ was dead. Im not saying that Rebbie gives me doubt abt DH, but is it possible that perhaps MJ didnt put her in a position to lie and go against her faith.... but then it would be cruel of a brother not to tell his sister that death was a hoax....can you see the conumdrum that i am in over rebbie? I am perplexed completely re: rebbie....now, just to play devils advocate.... if MJ'f life was threatened and this was the main reason behind DH, then it would be undersstood why she would have to go along with it... mean i am a Jehovahs Witness. If someone i loved had to go into witness protection because they knew too much, yes, i'd go along with whatever story was put out about them also to protect their safety.but to deliberately go on the view, or speak to a journalist about MJ being dead, means that she is lying also not just going along. so this is what makes me sometimes question if she knows... because i dont think that a JW who is in public eye would do something that people know is against JW practice, to be later called out on. it seems as though she would be setting herself up for "well you are a JW who is not supposed to lie and yet you said ......." (trust me people love pointing out our imperfections, as we are not perfect, especially of JWs who are in public eye...) comments grately appreciated.
Jehovahs witness' actually believe in resurrection, not reincarnation. So they all say things like this, they dont believe death is the end and we will all be given a second chance at life when judgement day comes. Whenever that will be..However if this is a hoax, then this could be taken as a clue .
