kavalamyself Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I am sorry but I do not think "a good father" shops for prescriptions, and overdoses in front of his children. I think the state or whoever is in charge should get those kids and put them in some kind of protective custody or care! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selah Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I'm sorry that he doesn't meet up to your expectations. No one is condoning the things he did, but I refuse to dwell on the negative and talk negativly about a man who is now dead. Does that not mean anything to you? To see his little girl cry? She loves and misses her daddy, and right now, she, along with Michael and his entire family, needs our prayers! I refuse to hate on him. Yes, some of the things he did were bizzare, but right now, he and his family need the love and tenderness of Christ, who loves them more than anything in the world. Sorry if that bothers you Edited July 7, 2009 by Selah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Red Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 [quote name='Selah' post='1913756' date='Jul 7 2009, 03:31 PM']I cried. Yes, I admit it. When Paris broke down after talking about her daddy, I could feel my heart rip in two. I don't think people realize just how much he cared for his children. He would die for them. He loved them more than anything on earth. That's why this is so heartbreaking to me. You know, I understand y'all are getting sick of hearing about him. I know there's more news to be told. But for now, let's pay our respects and pray for Michael, his friends, his family, and most of all, his children. Because while we have lost a talented musician, they have lost family, and they need our prayers and the love of God.[/quote] +J.M.J.+ who says we haven't? and why does being disgusted at the spectacle that has become his death and burial mean we haven't paid our respects and prayed for his soul?

Selah Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) Lil Red, He was a huge mega superstar. What did you expect? This is America. We're obsessed with our celebrities. Yes, the media needs to tone it down a couple of notches, but I'm so sick and tired of everyone dwelling on the negative. The poor man's dead. Let him rest in peace already. Because as weird as he was, he did a lot of good as well. He was a very charitable man and loved people very much. He was troubled, yes, but kind and talented. Dwell on those things.

Selah Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Catherine, Jermaine and his neice and nephews (Michael's kids) did see their father as he lay there in the hospital. I think Jermaine is the one who decided to let them see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i'm not trying to be intentionally snarky here, i promise.)[/quote] well...i know we can pray for more than one person at a time and for various durations. at any rate i didn't mean to single you out... i meant that perhaps the media coverage continues because he needs that much more prayer in general. i don't mean to imply that you personally haven't prayed enough for him.

Selah Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I just hate how the media is acting like they're his best friend, as if they never called him "wacko" or mocked and ridiculed him...what a bunch of hypocrites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
