Dateline NBC tonight, 9pm E.T with Rabbi Boteach's tapes

one thing I know for sure is that Madonna fans are gonna go crazy after this
just when I thought that ppl finally started to understand him after her speech this comes along
why don't ppl leave him alone already?
the family should do something to shut these ppl up
this is all just disgusting
 
Disgusting. I remember reading a statement from another Rabbi in one of the threads which was moved to the Tabloid Section critizing $humley for revealing these tapes. If you are a clergyman, you don't share details about the spiritual direction you have given to some one. The same thing would be the case for a confession.

Just because he knew he was being taped doesn't automatically mean he gave his consent for their release, as Schmuck would have us believe. Sessions are often taped for various reasons - further evaluation, playback, research, etc...but if my psychologist were ever to release mine, there would be hell to pay. I still can't believe NBC did that. However, this isn't a new phenomenon...

Anne Sexton?

Marilyn Monroe?

Too familiar.

Edit: I think they did record these in planning for a book. I think it was pre-Bashir and Michael may have had the same aim he had in making the documentary. However, there're things on those tapes that I'm sure were meant to be private. I think he dropped this dude after he found out about him and later went with Bashir. Regardless, there is *no* way that now, after the Bashir incident, Michael would be willing to open himself all up and try again at "setting the record straight."

I didn't watch. Rabbi 'Media Whore' is at it again...

excatly I didn't watch either.. I could have predicted how it was going to play out.
What kind of Rabbi is he?
How is telling someone they look like a monkey helping them?
MJ did need people tearing him down and calling him names, what kind of "friend" is that?
 
This really hurts me and I didn't even watch it. It just brings tears to my eyes; the evil of people. It makes me ask God, why? Why does it seem that the evil prosper and live to propagate more evil? Why are the evil in such power?? The only consolation is that MJ isn't confined to this sinful world anymore, and it is past. It is all past. It doesn't matter.
 
men of faith betrayed michael....
loved one's betrayed michael.....
employee's betrayed michael.....
friends betrayed michael.....
the media abused and maligned michael every chance they got.....
people made fun of michael....

and yet the media and many people can't understand why michael retreated to mannequins? why michael was reclusive?

then for the rabbi to say.... "how can this man have left his children orphaned??

HE WAS MURDERED.... YOU SORRY PIECE OF SH**.............

I'd prefer to go to hell than have a SPIRITUAL ADVISOR the likes of rabbi, chopra, and any other men of faith.... who can readily be so JUDGMENTAL.

Someone needs to tell the RABBI he is in the wrong profession.
 
NBC, dateline, Meredith .... they are all going to hear it from me.

at the very least the can be fair and objective. they know about "heal the kids" and the rabbi's past.... they should have at least mentioned that. if meredith didn't want to ask the rabbi directly fine.... but prior to the start or at the end they should have been very clear.

unless i drank too much....... the rabbi said he ended the relationship b/c he didn't want to associate with someone that was self destructive (paraphrase)................
SHOOOOOT ... this is news to me. !!!

Exactly. I don't understand why it 's so hard for people to understand him. It's so clear, the psychological abuse he experienced from everyone. People think that just because a person has money or is famous he/she should be happy. It's far from it.

you are right. totally agree.

i swear every time i think about this and start crying.... i keep saying Liz's name just so i can stop. i mean if she would meet me... i'd fly to LA tomorrow just to thank her.

physical abuse, psychological abuse, then have everything in your life be scrutinized to the tenth degree? and people want to JUDGE and MOCK Michael?
 
did i miss something? like MJ injecting profofol to himself?

He didnt inject it but he wanted it and he demanded it. Michael is partly responsible for his death. He could have said no, he knew what the dangers where.
 
I think you are right....the public will take it wrong...it is almost as though this is what the Rabbi wants......with friendslike him ...Michael didn't need enemies..

Yes... We agree. :huggy:

I'm glad atleast those here can see through the BullS***
 
I SINCERELY hope fans do NOT buy this book! Given Boteach's history, it's doubtful that much, if any, of the proceeds will go to any charity. If you must, get a used copy on Amazon, or get it from a library. For God's sake! (in my opinion) the man is a crook who violated Michael's privacy.

I would never buy it... Im feeling a bit disgusted..
violated. poor Michael :cry:

aggghhhhh
not again :doh:
its over Mj is dead the dumb a$$ doctor is alive and he needs to F***ing pay for what he did
[size=+2]now back on topic[/size]

thus ignoring the hippocratic oath of do no harm.

i as a patient can ask for Profolol till the cows came home, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE PHYSICIAN..... to DO NO HARM.

AND IF YOU ARE AS INCOMPETENT AS DR. DEATH MURRAY.... He should have not acquiesced to the King of POP or to me a nobody like me.....


B/C as a physician he took an oath to DO NO HARM.

And I realize people want MJ to bear some of the responsibility but NOT ON THIS ONE.

Physicians have a responsibility to heal patients, not to KILL them.
 
Hmm, he was Michael's "friend" but yet he turned on him after the allegations? What kind of friend is that? Then after Michael passed away, he decided to do the book because people had softened on him? F*ck him! Nobody wants to read what stupid trash he writes. And those tapes might have Michael's actual voice on them, but you don't get the full picture of what someone is saying without hearing the FULL conversation, questions and comments by the other person and everything Michael himself said. I can't even stand seeing Schmuley's face, and he's usually yelling. All these people need to just shut up and get a life that doesn't involve Michael.
 
Re: LINK to Dateline full transcript(The Michael Jackson Tapes)

friends betrayed michael.....
the media abused and maligned michael every chance they got.....

Well said, its so hard to understand??? really is that so hard???



Exactly. I don't understand why it 's so hard for people to understand him. It's so clear, the psychological abuse he experienced from everyone. People think that just because a person has money or is famous he/she should be happy. It's far from it.

Of course the doctor is to blaim for alot of it, i never said otherwise.

But It was michaels idea in the first place, he got himself into the situation, obviously the doctor shouldn't have done it, but when you have that much money and power, your eventually going to get what you want, or find someone to get you what you want.



If i go out and buy some crack will you have sympathy for me when i get addicted and blame the crack dealer?

No, you'd expect me to take some responsibility for the situation that i got myself in.


What michael did was stupid, im not saying he is stupid but he made some stupid choices and it ultimatly caused his death. The same can be said for the doctor, they both made bad choices, and both of them eventually suffered the consequence of those choices (assuming the doc goes to jail)
 
The same crap happened when Princess Diana died! The public aren't THAT stupid! People know that ALL these people coming forward can't be trusted or believed 100% when its THAT obvious what there intentions are, which is to make a lot of money by benefiting from Michael's death!

With a face like Rabbi - who the hell is going to trust him? (Besides poor Michael who did. Aw Michael, he was so naive when it came to trust. He only looked for the best in everyone. He had this evil sleazy circle around him with no clue of the danger, which I'm sure comes from never experiencing a normal life and normal everyday people contact in normal every day situations. He had advisers (bad ones) advising him who to trust.)

And if he was addicted as they say...addiction is a disease, who's to say you have full control?

If i go out and buy some crack will you have sympathy for me when i get addicted and blame the crack dealer?

No, you'd expect me to take some responsibility for the situation that i got myself in.


Crack dealers don't have to take an oath which says they will do no harm, and [FONT=Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] I will neither prescribe nor administer a lethal dose of medicine to any patient even if asked.[/FONT]

a doctor told him it was safe to use it
and he did use it before and thought it was safe
he wanted to get some rest he wasn't getting high
ppl wanted him to fail he wanted to prove them wrong
he didn't kill himself he just trusted the wrong ppl
I understand your opinion but Micheal is dead he payed the price
now its time for the money hungry doctor(s) to pay
[size=+1]please lets get back on topic before the mods close the thread this has been discussed before[/size]
 
Copied and pasted what I typed from another MJ community so I don't have to re type.

Ah didn't post how I feel about this whole thing...

Besides the fact that Shumley gets on my nerves this was a huge invasion of privacy (I haven't watched the show) with these tapes. If it's only bits of it they could be taken out of context. You might as well release the whole tape so it's harder to twist things. Who knows if Michael knew he was being recorded? If he knew he probably didn't want these tapes out there. Plus there's the fact that these are about 8 years old.

Shumley has said stuff in past interviews, that Michael needed to "Get rid of the stupid fans" and when Michael used to wear the surgical masks, he said "I told him, would you take that STUPID thing off you look like a monkey"

Like a monkey? Really I'm sure that helped him.

Bah. He's saving the rest of the tapes to make a another book.

I guess he can say whatever he wants just don't look into the mans disapearing money act with charities...

except in the other community there seems to be less distrust of Shumley.

right now you are dealing with a lot of hearsay and making a judgement call. all too easy. there are a lot of ideas being passed around, and a lot of things being discussed in the Investigative section..so...and it's an ongoing investigation.

it's funny how people are now saying that MJ had a lot of money and power. before June 25 they were busy saying he was broke. keep changing the saying, whenever convenient, so they can condemn Michael, in unwarranted fashion, at any time.

We are absolutely not going there in this conversation. NOT. The thread is about the Boteach tapes.

The LAPD is conducting a "HOMICIDE" investigation.

Everyone, stay on topic please. I mean. . everyone. Thanks.
