OK, so we're not JWs anymore. Does that mean that we should worship a human being just because we can? Some here seem to make Michael Jackson into some sort of demi-god. Yes, some cultures worship a stick of wood, I get it.
But I agree with those who are appalled by the near mystical reverence accorded this talented but disturbed man. This is troubling because Jackson is an example of mental illness, lack of resilience, and likely, sexual abuse of children. Many of us here had less than ideal childhoods. Why not admire someone who overcame that fact to build a worthwhile life rather than idolize someone who let it make him into a sad freak?
