I heard that he gave $300,000,000 during the course of his life to charities. This included paying for many funerals of children killed in gang violence across the US. It seems that the cost of the coffin is minimal in comparison.

Wow!! There are 40,000,000 black people in America......do they all have the same culture??? Are blacks in Miami, Texas and Oakland all the same??? Bad english, menial jobs, drankin' 40 ozs., driving cadillacs and eatin' wallamellon???
There is a large amount of diversity in the black community. I have never understood "Acting White" or Acting Black. Do the whites in lower Appalachia ACT White??? What about the ones in the trailer parks across the midwest. Boston?? Odessa, Texas???? There is diversity there as well. All are not magically gifted with the blessing of wealth, intelligence and success.
As a black male, the connotations associated with these statements is incredible. I assume you believe all Asians are good at math as well.
I think Mike may have had issues with his color and appearence because his father and brothers harassed him regarding his nose, among other things. I am not sure what demons this man dealt with daily. I find his story very interesting. I have NEVER had an interest in a celebrity in the past until now.
I have not really followed him since the 90's. I am not sure about the child molestation issues. I can only assume if someone molested one of my daughters or sons, I would perfer to see their cold body quivering in a purple pool of blood vs any amount of money. I would assume that any parent would do the same. I do not think an amount of money would stop me from making this person physically attone for their ins.

GREAT POST!!!
As mentioned, this was typical attitude of the witnesses. I remember our elder (early 1980's) saying that if you play pac-man, you could get reproved. The ghost were related to spiritism.
We all have endured the harsh, BS for many years!!

Has anyone got anything positive from the WT organisation?
by BloominMarvellous ineveryone seems to just hate the wt.. i am very upset with the way ive been treated but i dont hate them.. they have given me huge self confidence after helping me out of depression, although i have a fab counsellor, so they cant get all the credit.
they have made me independent as well, (i think my ex-study conductor regrets that!
) i suddenly have a mind of my own and am not afraid to use it.. i owe them quite a lot they have really helped me through some bad times but they have created some bad times for me too.

I think many are miserable and need to blame someone for their failed dreams. Why not the WT. Every religious organization has flaws and imperfect people. THe WT just does not admit mistakes, so that makes it harder to digest.

I do not hate the WT. IMO, they are just like any other religious organization. There are errors and mistakes and flaws and...... IMPERFECT PEOPLE!!
I was raised in a very middle-class family in South Los Angeles. I have become an outstanding speaker. I have recieved many accolades regarding my entire skill set. They have helped me to advance within my career, to the point of making corporate videos.
I must say, I owe some of my ability to the WT. Going door-to-door, taking to crips, Bloods and drug-dealers....fearlessly!!!!

I met Firpo. He went to a hall in Lynwood, CA I believe. We went for pizza with his family. He was a typical, black JW. IMO. That means; Very well versed in the theology, outstanding speaker and slightly arrogant.
He later married a younger sister from my hall in Inglewood.
I did not know he would have bigger things in his future.

I went to the KH after a few years away once before and IT WAS INCREDIBLE.
- It was like I had never left. I could quote all of the scriptures in the WT.
- Topics that never go away are;
- We are sooo close to the end.
- Those that miss meetings are materialistic. Put the org. I mean kingdom first.
- Satan uses the same traps to catch the weak again and again.
- Apostates are bad.
- Sex is bad, because the world glorifies it.
- Remember the end is close.
- Drinking is bad.
- Facebook is bad. My space is evil.
- The internet is bad.
- The end is sooo close, we can tell because_______________. Fill in the blank.
- College is bad.
- The (college educated) brothers in Africa are woried about u because of your materialism.

As for SOUTHCENTRAL, I never said I thought the end would come in 2012.
Understood!! I was speaking in GENERAL, not specifically about you. I enjoyed your post.
Being a conservative, ALL I hear in my circles is how OBAMA is the anti-christ, hence the remark.
