How many of the Jacksons are Disfellowshipped or Disassociated?

booker-t

Does anybody know the current status of the Jackson family. Is Michael Jackson Disfellowshipped or Disassociated? What about LaToya Jackson? And Janet Jackson is she Disfellowshipped? I was talking to a co-worker or mine and she told me that she heard that Katherine Jackson( Mike's Mom) was Disfellowshipped but I don't think so because I heard Janet on a radio show and she said that her mom lives at the kingdom hall.( she might be a pioneer) So I hardly believe that she is DF'd but why do she still hang out with her DF'd and DA'd kids and not get into hot water with the elders?

To the best of my knowledge

Mother Jackson--JW

Rebbie Jackson--daughter--JW

LaToya--daughter--DF'd JW ( ?--reinstated?)

Michael Jackson--son--DA's per secret letter from WTS

The father and the rest of the kids are not JWs and never were (except being forced to go as minor children, never baptized)

I remember hearing that some of the wives of the Jackson sons were Witnesses, specifically Randy. Anyone know if that's true?

I didn't find anything on Google about the spouses. Randy has been married twice, the last divorce was in 1992. Could be but I haven't found anything.

I record to a VHS tape the inteview in David Letterman Show, Janet Jackson admitted she is a JW and she also said she now enjoy her birthday with a little bit feeling of guilty.

I think it's kinda weird that Jermaine (convert to Islam) did a lecture type tour in the Middle East (and I think parts of Afriica) and Firpo Carr tagged along.

Anyone got any insight to why?

Did she happen to mention if she is baptized? I don't think so. I have know people who grew up as JWs but weren't baptized consider themselves JWs. I have also know adults who studied with JWs say they were. Once I when I still went d2d I met a woman who told me about the JW family down the block, the one that put up Christmas lights every year. I had never heard of them and I had been in that congo for 15 years. So I went down and talked to the family. It turned out that they had studied for about 5 years but never were baptized and did not attend the meetings but told everyone they were JWs...hmmmm

The Wayans grew up with a JW father but I don't think any of them are baptized.

Janet's not being baptized could explain why she could admit to celebrating her birthday publicly and not worry about being DF'd. But then I have been told that it is not an automatic DFing offense by some ex-JWs or that it is by others.

Notice how Janet is quoted in this 2001 interview:

I grew up a Jehovah's Witness, that's my mother's religion, and you're not supposed to think of dating unless you're ready to get married."

Am I the only one who knows who Firpo Carr is?

How old was Jacko when he was baptised then?

Am I the only one who knows who Firpo Carr is? Nope. He's the guy that wrote the book defending the divine name as being Jehovah. I used to have that book. In fact, his intro in which he explained how he attended seminary without the elder's express permission got me to thinking:) As to why he is touring and lecturing, I haven't a clue.
