  Perhaps the best known of the celebrity JWs and certainly the most controversial with the allegations that followed him to his death.

  He was a good song writer and had the best in the Music Industry at his side. The incredible Quincy Jones guided the "Thriller" and "Bad" albums to phenominal world wide sales.

  I knew JWs who were in the same KH with him and his mother. The stories and gossip were fodder in the Los Angeles area. My daughter studied with Reba for a while when going to college in Northridge. I wonder if MJ ever lived a half way normal life.

  I remember when Thriller came out we were forbidden to listen to it because MJ was disfellowshipped at the time and listening to his music would be associating with him.

  I still listened to it, though.

  Michael seemed to have a lot of difficulty just living. I know there were many other things that influenced who he became as an adult ... overbearing, abusive father, stardom at an early age, etc. But I can't help but wonder if he would have turned out, at least, almost normal if the Jehovah's Witnesses had not been a factor in his life.

  I'm thinking YES.
