Michael Jackson Dead

[Scooter's Mom]

Ya know - there is no disputing that he was very strange and he even admitted to some very weird behavior behind the scenes, before it became public knowledge, but I can't help but wonder if the accusations made against him of child molestation, were totally true. He had a very child-like nature which did nothing but make him look guilty, but I wonder just how much he was really guilty of. He had an awful lot of big names in his corner - Elizabeth Taylor and Liza Manelli come to mind as just a couple. Unfortunately, MJ was his own worst enemy, and he took his guilt or innocence with him in death. He was the only living being that knew the absolute truth, and no matter how much those that are left behind care to speculate, no one will ever know for sure.

Not true. IF the allegations were true, the innocent children he molested know for sure.

Not saying they were/are true, just stating that he's not the only one who knew the truth.

Yes - but....

Were they told what to say - and perhaps elaborate to the point that it would appear to be molestation? Children can be made to think one thing happened, when it was actually something totally different. It has happened many times before, and innocent people have gone to jail because of it.

I'm not saying that the children were prompted to "stretch the truth", just as I'm not saying that MJ was not guilty, but I still believe that MJ is the only one that knows for sure.

This is just IMHO of course.

I can recall his sister Latoya speaking out against him, insisting that he was a pedophile. I didn't believe a word she said simply because I felt that she was doing it to get attention for herself. She's a no talent, isn't even in the same range w/Michael or Janet or even the rest of the family. It'll be interesting to see how she conducts herself now.

I am going to take Mr. Jackson at his word, which is that he slept with boys in his bed and he felt there was nothing wrong with that.
Now the question is why did he feel it was not wrong?
My personal belief is that he was molested as a child, perhaps by someone in the music indrustry, someone he trusted and loved.
He was not close to his dad, from what I remember he was a bully and the kids were afraid of him.
So in comes this other man, giving praise, perhaps a mentor and young Michael for the first time in his life has a man who is kind and loving to him. Yes the relationship was sexual after a bit, but it was also the only love he had from an adult. So Michael thinks that sex with an adult is the only way to get love and praise. He has decided that this is not so bad.
This of course confused Michael and started his mental confusion, thereby wanting to remain a child in many ways so he could continue to recieve love and affection.
As an adult a child in his bed is not such a bad thing, he is after all loving this child, showing them kindness, patience, understanding, giving gifts and yes having a bit of sex.
Twisted but oh so logical to Mr. Jackson.
That is my arm chair consul. That will be $200.00 please pay Margaret on your way out and don't forget to make a follow up in two weeks.

That's ALOT of assumptions about someone you don't know and cannot answer the allegations. What he did or didn't do may never be resolved. I choose to remember his talents and not his eccentricities.

I am looking at it positively...it will knock Kate and Jon off the cover of EVERYTHING!

Agreed. And I still believe the absolute truth died with him and it will never be resolved. Unless of course, that MJ wrote a confession/explanation and had it locked away in safe deposit, with instructions to be read 50 years after his death. Highly unlikely, and by then, not many people would care anyway.

I just saw this link posted in another forum, and if it's true, it would be more than ironic at this point:

Jordan Chandler admits he lied about Michael Jackson??

As I mentioned I am taking Mr. Jackson at his own words, which were that he saw nothing wrong with sharing a bed with children.
As for his talent, no one can beat the King of Pop.
A great lose to all who love music.

There was plenty of creepyness about MJ without the pedo charges.

Yes MJ was a Magician with his music and stage pressence but he still had the creepyness off stage and out of the studio.
