  jacko bombshell: 'jewish' ex-wife vs. nation of islam.

  debbie rowe, michael jackson's ex-wife and the mother of his two eldest children, is worried her kids are becoming muslims.. in the last few days, rowe has complained to friends that she does not want her children, paris and prince, exposed to the nation of islam.

  jackson and his kids are currently living in the most expensive "safe house" in history, a beverly hills mansion rented, patrolled and monitored by the group.. more:.

  There is no evidence that Jackson has actually joined the Nation of Islam yet, but his brother, Jermaine Jackson has been a member since 1989. NOI chief of staff Leonard Muhammad is now, for all intents and purposes, running Jackson's schedule and businesses. He was seated at the head of the table at the summit meeting on Monday for Jackson's lawyers and accountants.

  This is crazy. Totally crazy. And like most disfunctional families, it just keeps getting MORE crazy...

  Debbie Rowe, Michael Jackson's ex-wife and the mother of his two eldest children, is worried her kids are becoming Muslims.

  I doubt she is worried about them becoming Muslims, rather, she is worried about them becoming members of the NOI. I wish the press would stop calling NOI 'Muslim' without some sort of clarification.

  A JW at my work, question?

  by Beans in

  there is a guy at work that i had heard was a jw, so i was working with him and we had a few laughs talking and joking around so i was starting to pry and get it out of him that he was a jw, also i had heard a few things and wanted to ask him as well.

  so i asked what he did for christmas and he avoided the question and then i said, "oh yeah your a jehovahs witness" and he said he was, right after he said "but i got some good presents" (admitting your a jw seemed to be awkward for him) as he is the only jw in his family.

  i told him that my parents were as well and my grandparents went to the same hall as he did many years ago.

  This guy is the only JW in his family. That means the WTBTS has less control over him. I bet he can get away with lots of stuff.

  After all isn't it often family members that turns people in to the elders? And isn't it family that people are afraid to loose that makes the whole df thing so scary? No JW family, no worries!

  Members may have to unite and use the power of voting, boycotting, or whatever lawful actions are necessaary to promote jw causes...

  As an exJW, I would be interested in the promotion of EXJW causes, and NOT JW causes. The two things are quite different. Why would I want to support JW causes? The JW org and beliefs destroyed my family!

  I don't understand how, in any way, these two groups (active and exJWs) would have the same causes. And, acitve JWs would not want to be an a 'sect' with exJWs. In fact, if they did join a sect with exJWs, they would become 'exjws' faster than you can say, "Back room meeting!' And I don't think many exJWs would want to be in a 'sect' with active JWs.

  In fact, just about the only thing exJWs and JWs have in common is that just hearing the word 'sect' is enought to send them running the other direction!

  Did you ever lead a double life?

  by imzadi in

  those of you who are now x-jws, did you ever lead a double life while you were "in"?

  did you have "worldly" friends, watch r rated movies, drive fast cars and do other things you weren't supposed to do, yet believed you were a "good" jw because you belived in the truth, "put in time", and attended meetings?

  if you did, how long did it take you to see the truth about the truth and leave?

  I had a double life for a while as a teen, but I didn?t believe in the Org at that time. I was raised in it and was just waiting until I turned 18 to get out.

  I had a worldly normal boyfriend and a ever so small and precious worldly normal circle of friends by the time I was 16 or so. I considered my non-JW life to be my real life and the JW one just something I had to go along with for a while so as not to break my parent?s hearts?and to have a place to live until I was an adult.

  Hey Lisa... I really like the advertisements for "Somethings gotta give".. who is the actors in that one?

  Diane Keaton, who should win Best Actress for this,......No, she MUST win Best Actress for this! And Jack Nicholson, who was good, too.

  I saw part of a concert of his on some cable channel over the holidays and I thought it was quite good! I'm thinking of picking up a cd. Some of the music was very funky...very James Brown meets Prince...some was different...all was good.

  I was surprised. I guess I thought since he had become a JW his music would suck or something! Not so! Still, I know it must limit him...

  I liked the movie, and yes, a couple tears did fall....especially when the son is telling the dad the story.... (I won't give it away...) Tim Burton is great!

  BUT, I cried more in "Somethings Gotta Give" ....That is a great movie. A really, really great movie. I cried the most from laughing...but it was not only the humor that had the tears falling. What a great movie...

  Joanna, did you see that one? What did you think?
