The singer's father,Joe, allegedly had an affair with Cheryl Terrell 30 years ago, which resulted in the birth of Joh'Vonnie Jackson, according to The Mirror. The affair reportedly prompted Michael's mother, Katherine, to file for divorce in 1973 when Michael was 15, but she was later talked out of it by her Jehovah's Witness church. It is also reported that Joh'Vonnie who used to work as an airport baggage handler and she and Michael have never met. ANI

  Sounds like the meddling wt . Instead of her going by how she feels she has the cult decide her life. What if she hated her husband after this affair knowing there is a child involved from this , is she to swallow her feeling because the cult told her to. Na,i see no manipulation here.

  But she did later divorce him, didn't she? I didn't think they were still together.

  Yeah it sounds like typical JW thinking though.

  and really the reason I left the WTS was the pressure they put on me to stay with my 2nd husband..
