A new documentary aired at the Sundance Film festival in Utah last week, entitled "Leaving Neverland." According to reviewers, the film will do to Michael Jackson in the Court of Public Opinion what no one could accomplish in a Court of LAW while Jackson was still alive, namely, prove that he was a child molester. One reviewer claims that, after it is aired on HBO this spring, no one will be able to listen to Jackson's music again without feeling creepy, and some may be unable to even listen to it at ALL, ever again.
I never listened to his music ANYWAY so this documentary won't change my ability to enjoy it...I didn't have any! But I certainly have my opinions about Michael as a PERSON and I suspect this film will only reinforce them.
As I've said many times in the past, Michael was cute as that spunky 8 year old kid in the Jackson Five when they debuted almost 50 years ago, but his change to weirdness, in my opinion, began in the early 70s with his song "Ben," sung to a RAT. Through the years he got worse and worse...though God made him a handsome black MAN he rebelled and gradually morphed into someone who looked white, and appeared somewhat effeminate. Jay Leno joked that "America is a great country, where else can a poor black boy grow up to be a rich white woman?" but I was not laughing...I was trying to raise 3 kids and had to explain why all of America embraced this black / white /guy / gal and that THEY shouldn't.
Three Presidents, Reagan, Clinton and Bush 43, unwisely honored Michael Jackson and when he died, Jackson's brother Jermaine said Barack Obama never would have been elected if not for Michael Jackson's influence (I believe that.). Obama, of course, didn't just HONOR Michael, he danced to "Thriller" at the White House and the two infamous influences HE had in his Presidency were 1.) endorsing abortion and 2.) openly endorsing Homosexuality.
It cannot be fairly said that killing children in the womb was something that Obama endorsed because Michael influenced him....Michael LOVED kids. But, as this documentary supposedly proves, he "loved" them in the wrong way, as a freaky pedophile. There's nothing inherently wrong with men "loving" children in the right way, mind you....JESUS loved children, but Michael Jackson failed to heed the warnings of Scripture about "avoiding the appearance of evil" and slept with them in his BED. My all-time favorite musician, Cat Stevens, once sang "Where Do The Children Play?" because he loves children, but he never gave cause for the allegations of "games" that JACKSON allegedly played with kids...such as the mock "wedding" Jackson supposedly had with one (according to reviews of the documentary.)
That, my friends, a guy / gal "marrying" an underage boy, is even weirder than singing to a rat.
I do believe, however, that Michael Jackson, the popular guy / gal DID influence President Obama to openly endorse Homosexuality. Look at the way even professing CHRISTIANS tried to say Michael went to Heaven when he died 10 years ago, even though there wasn't a shed of evidence of repentance on his part! Obama might never have DARED to take that stand when running for re-election three years later if not for this proof of America's willingness to accept perversion. And now we have a world where, according to some, there are DOZENS of new genders (I have a list that suggests there are 100 and counting) whereas, before Michael Jackson there were only TWO which were universally acknowledged.
I, for one, hope that "Leaving Neverland" WILL cause many to stop being able to enjoy Michael Jackson's music, and dance steps, and see who he WAS and the harm he's BROUGHT to the world. I doubt that it will happen, though, because too many have now openly embraced the perversions Michael modeled...too many IDOLIZE him...it's why you have people weirdly identifying as different sexes, different colors, different AGES than they really are now.
But whether or not his standing changes in the Court of Public Opinion, GOD'S Court has never failed to bring perfect justice to all outside of Christ, I rest in THAT as I await watching the documentary. The same will be true AFTER I see it, no matter what it proves or doesn't prove.
