Michael Jackson biography on cable VH1
by franklin J ini caught the biography while flipping channels last nite and was surprised how much air time was given to the teachings of jehovahs witnesses and speculation on how it may have impacted the later decisions michael jackson made in his life.
it portrayed jackson the child as a victim of --not only the rigid teachings of jehovahs witnesses; also an abusive father ; dysfunctional family and the demanding rigors of a successful child performer; no childhood at all.
bill bowen was interviewd and the life of a dedicated jw was accurately portrayed.

My Catholic wife chastised the JWs coming to our door
by franklin J inmy wife just called me to tell me that as she was leaving the house this morning to run some errands, there were 2 " nice looking" ladies coming up our drive.
we have a 200 foot driveway and she encountered them already on our property approaching the house, just as she was driving out.
she said she knew they were jws because of the conservative looking clothes and cheap vinyl book bags.
