We have seen more positive articles about Michael since he hoaxed his death than in the previous years since the media lynching started. The memorial was a visual that hooked the world in to see for themselves, and what we witnessed was not what the media had tried  to portray to the easily programmable public mindsets. The genius of keeping his children in masks and out of the media and public scrutiny, only to reveal them on stage at the memorial has done more to shatter the twisting of the media crap than anything else IMO. People were in shock at how lovely, respectful and normal his children appeared.  Even my 78 year old mother kept commenting after watching the memorial...What beautiful children.....and she was talking about their whole persona through such an arduous circumstance, and not just physical beauty....Well behaved children do cast favourable light upon their parent/s.   [ me thinks no-one can out-manipulate or out-play the master]
As for MJ never returning to the stage....I don't get too concerned..... I do believe him when he said he never stops creating. There is a hugh vault of material there to last my lifetime at least. All those unreleased songs for a start...and I'm betting on writing and poetry too. Makes me think of the delightful surprise we received when all that MJ art came into the light of day from the hangar it was stored in.
I feel that the memorial was a cut off point where many in the public drew a line in the sand and stated quite plainly to the media.....NO MORE.....we will not tolerate this merciless bashing of a true humanitarian especially now that he is not here to defend himself. There arose many blogs dedicated to vindicating Michael and we are experiencing the effects of these warriors and activists even now 3 years on.

Remembering Michael Jackson: The Global Humanitarian

Michael Jackson:  We Are The World
One of the most generous humanitarians to ever have graced this planet with their physical presence returned to the essence 2 years ago, today.
Although much mention is not made of it - while still physically alive, the generous Michael Jackson donated millions of dollars, as well as countless hours, to numerous charities and other organizations which assisted many others in need.
While the main-stream media tends to focus on stories regarding the Pop-icon primarily based upon pure speculation, slanderous lies and/or unsubstantiated allegations; they rarely shed light on his unselfish hospitality and genuine love to help others who are in dire need, regardless of ethnicity.

Michael jackson & AIDS victim Ryan White
According to the 2000 Guinness Book Of World Records, Jackson supported more charities (39) that year, via money donations and sponsorships, than any other entertainer. Jackson's financial contributions have helped in relief efforts in dilapidated regions throughout the world – mainly providing clean drinking water, food and medical supplies.
Jackson applied immense amounts of currency and time towards relief assistance for A.I.D.S. and cancer research, as well as to combat world hunger.  Also, he often visited hospital patients, raising their morale with his presence.

In 1984 Michael provided New York City's Mt. Sinai Medical Center with a 19 bed unit for cancer and leukemia patients. Later that year, he then revisited the Brotman Memorial Hospital, where he was previously treated after being badly burned during the production of a commercial for Pepsi.
Jackson donated the entire $1.5 million from the azsoda's sponsorship to the Michael Jackson Burn Center for Children.

Michael, along with Lionel Richie, co-wrote the biggest selling single of all time, 1985's ‘We Are The World', in an effort to raise money for Afrika and awareness of the imperialistic powers that are raping the Motherland.
The ‘Michael Jackson United Negro College Fund/Endowed Scholarship Fund' was established in 1986. This $1.5 million fund is aimed towards college students majoring in communications or the performing arts, with money given annually.
Proceeds from his 1988 single, ‘The Man In The Mirror', he donated to Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times, a retreat for cancer-stricken children.

The following year, Jackson donated tickets to shows in his ‘Bad Tour' to underprivileged children. The proceeds from a Los Angeles show were donated to Childhelp USA, the biggest charity-organization against child-abuse. Childhelp ,of Southern California then established the - ‘Michael Jackson International Institute for Research On Child Abuse'.
Three years later, he set up a burn-unit for children and established the ‘Heal The World Foundation', whose work has included: airlifting 6 tons of supplies to Sarajevo, instituting drug and alcohol abuse education/prevention and donating millions of dollars to less fortunate children.
Jackson then helped to organize the ‘United We Stand: What More Can I Give' benefit concert in the wake of the tragic events which occurred on September 11 2001. Jackson also donated the proceeds from another song to surviving victims of Hurricane Katrina.

As is usually done by the powers-that-be, Michael Jackson's character was assassinated when allegations of inappropriate behavior with young boys arose, but many people say the main-stream media chose to pursue those stories, rather than the more positive ones, in an attempt to take away from his credibility and his humanitarian efforts.
“How can people call him a child molester? What a great humanitarian. He was a very generous man who truly made a difference. Michael saw the world through the visual eyes of an artist, therefore he wanted to make a change – which he did! Just a shame the media rarely or never highlighted all of this. They chose negative trash over decent news. It's very disheartening to read this and think back at the way he was mistreated during his time here,” determined La Mea Nu

Thanks guys for resurrecting this thread....I haven't been back here for a while.  It's good to come back and look again at things and also see new things.

I came across this little book at a jumble sale yesterday and it's cover reminded me of the symbols shown on the big screen at the memorial. It is a Jehovah Witness publication originally published [red cover version] in 1990.

Book Description
Publication Date: 1990
Excerpt of review by John W. Scott John W. Scott This 384-page book features a detailed review of the major religions of the world, exploring the various ways of worship, cultural background, lands and peoples. It reviews the seemingly instinctual and universal need to worship, that seems to be present in all cultures, as well as the various forms through history in which that need has manifested itself. Primitive religions such as animism, as well as the history to modern day practice of Hinduism, including Yoga are considered, as well as Hinduism development into Buddhism. Other Oriental religions such as Taoism and Confucianism are also considered. A small section also describes the Sikh religion. The various forms of Judaism are discussed, with a history that goes back some thousands of years to the first Jew, Abraham, as well as the other two major monotheistic religions, Islam and Christianity. The Christian section considers both the background and life and ministry of Jesus Christ, as well as the primitive and developed practice of Christianity, the Dark Ages and the development of the Roman Catholic Church, as well as the Reformation, Protestantism, and modern day Christianity. There is a chapter which considers the historical development of Jehovah's Witnesses, and a section on modern day disbelief which touches on both Darwinism, and worship of the state in socialist countries. The book is factual, non-judgmental, accurate, and it is a complete reference that is equal to an advanced college course on world religion. The only thing lacking in Mankind's Search for God is information on some of the smaller Christian religions in modern times, that is Later Day Saints and Seventh Day Adventists, as well as more details on the present state of 21st Century Evangelicals. Other than that, one can consider it to be both a complete and authoritative guide on world religion.

This is a quote from Jermaine's interview with MJJC.
Quote
MJJC: This is kind of random, but did Michael ever express any interest in Islam or becoming a Muslim? There were many rumors swirling around in the months after his death that said he was a Muslim

Jermaine Jackson: Michael did not convert to Islam. He was curious about it and I gave him many books to read about Islam. I write in the book how, during his 2005 trial, he returned to the Kingdom Hall to pray. It's fair to say that he died a Jehovah Witness.

I am in the process of reading it now.  However,  the thought [once again]  crossed my mind that the memorial was like a great big fishing net that was cast out into the community, via the death hoax. An invitation to all who were spiritually inclined, to dig deeper to find what exactly Michael was trying to convey through the memorial and it's messages.  Perhaps this was the only way a superstar like MJ  could fullfill the great commission and  come to our individual homes to share the good news of the kingdom.....via our television sets or computer screen.  TS has said that Michael retained some of the Jehovah Witness beliefs....I'm betting that warning his fans and fellow human beings about what is on the earth's horizon, and how to be prepared for it would be a part of that. 


As a JW myself, I must say this was a very interesting post for me RK and in fact, the line you wrote above about the "fishing net" is personally one of my hoax beliefs regarding the "why"

by the way, this is a brilliant book. the book that changed me and opened my eyes. it is brilliant and really gives a good education about lots of religions, customs beliefs and where they originated from.

RK you will love this book and I hope you didnt pay a lot for it, as we give them out free to the public.

If anyone here would like a hardcopy of the illustrated book, I would be only too happy to mail one to you. Can be to an employment address, post office, non residential, address if preferred. Or simply contact local JWs they will be in public listing and ask them to post a copy to you or you can go to one of the kingdom halls and they will give one to you.

People laugh when I explain. And though they may laugh, that doesn't change the fact that it's still the truth.


Michael is Alive
The end of evil is nigh
Trust in God
The righteous will prevail
