Michael Jackson's kids off to the Kingdom Hall ....
I volunteer Randy drive over in a van and kidnap them to a safe haven, where they'll grow up like normal kids. Not that Randy is normal by any means.

Shame isn't seeing these innocent kids going from abhorrently weird and off balanced family life to just be transfered to over
to a malignly cruel corrupt dictatorship, who may intensionally damage them even further .
Funny thing though just recently since this JWS situation has been opened to the media , their biological mother now says she will
pursue legally to have them under her care. It makes one wonder if seeing those children being hauled off to a JW Kingdom Hall,
was the straw that that broke the camel's back to spark this move.

When did the dress code change? I can't imagine any kids being allowed to attend the meeting in those clothes. Are we absolutely sure this is on the way to a meeting? Maybe they were doing something else and just happened to have songbooks (I think?) in their hands?

These kids have never been to a JWS meeting, it was most likely their first time, being that Ganny Jackson has higher privileges in the Hall with her high amount
of contributions, anyone related to her would most likely get privileged status as well.
Anyways elders aren't going to say shit to anyone that they know is their first time there, unless they complete and utter assholes.

Well Germain said on Larry King last night. "Yes they are attending JW's but they have celebrated
birthdays & Christmas so I dont know?
Larry asked him if Micheal was Muslim he said "I AM but Micheal was reading up on it." -

Actually, in print and in this area, people just coming or studying are allowed a lot of leeway as far as dress and grooming go. They just like you to be clean and good-smelling.
I have seen men with beards and long hair, women in slacks because they don't own anything with a skirt and can't afford to get anything new. They want to suck people into the organization and they can't do that if they jump on "new" people right away. As they get more indoctrinated and are closer to baptism and "wanting" to go door to door, join the school, then the dress and grooming rules are brought into the mix. Now if you are already baptized or growing up "jw" in a family, the WTS exerts more power interfering in this area.

*** w89 11/1 p. 30 Do You See Only the Outward Appearance? ***Many of Jehovah’s Witnesses, like Heinz, are happy that they were welcomed into the Christian congregation by brothers and sisters who looked beyond outward appearances and did not judge by first impressions.
Take Frank, who showed up one Sunday at a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in southern Germany. What did those in attendance see? An unkempt young man with a beard and shoulder-length hair, dressed in dirty clothes, well-known as a frequenter of local bars and a heavy smoker—an individual who had neglected his girlfriend and their baby twins. Nevertheless, he was warmly welcomed at the meeting. He was so impressed that he returned a week later. What did they see then? A neatly groomed young man in clean clothes.
*** g87 12/8 pp. 20-21 My Struggle to Leave a Violent Life ***Now, we had a club ride planned that Sunday, and I was expected to be there to take the lead. Sunday morning came and off we went. We stopped at a bar, and everyone started drinking. About one o’clock I casually walked out, started my bike, and returned to the city. At 3:00 p.m., I was at the Kingdom Hall, with T-shirt, blue jeans, boots, beard, and my hair in a pony tail. The Witnesses received me warmly, not mentioning anything about my appearance. They encouraged me to come back. I did, and I have been attending meetings ever since.
