Oh, i have to tell you something that happened to me today!
I was listening to an MJ interview.. And when I checked the clock on my iphone, it was 11:11 am!
And at that point, Michael started talking about God and spirituality and stuff like that!
I was like WOW, cooool!
Tinkerbell2 That's cool! Probably not a coincidence either. I don't believe in randomness anymore. I remember that Barbara Kaufmann wrote about hundreds of people writing her last year because they had trouble sleeping and often woke up at 3.00 am, like Michael often did. If those kind of things are experienced ny numerous people at the same time, it means something....
Oh, that is true! Just like Amy said, in my post I was mentioning those who run around like crazy and only use hate or anger against hate.....these efforts you and others do are acts out of love, that is exactly what I meant with the right way for spreading that message. We can teach people about it, even media, if we do it in a right way, if we use love and show off Michael in the right way as portraying ourself just as intelligent and loving as him. So it's really a good thing what you are doing, definitely.
Thanks for the nice words!
Some cool MJ moments for me this morning; I had an appointment at the dentist, so my mom goes, my sis goes...then I go, and bam....they play 'Bad' on the radio! :wild: LOL, and when I got out of the chair it was right at the end of the song. Talking about timing. :lol: Then we went shopping and I ran into an old friend of mine that I always used to be MJ-buddies with in primary school, hadn't seen her in yeaaars! She had that Black Or White doll and so on. Really cool.
Oh, don't you just love it when that happens!
Btw, have you guys heard about the plane crash in Libya? There's been 70 Dutch people that have died, one Dutch boy of 9 years old is the only survivor....man, so insane. Makes me wonder how those kind of things happen, the ONLY survivor....that sure is a miracle.
Tragic event for so many Dutch families, and to be a sole survivor. I'm still torn about that. Yes, it's a miracle, but he will need a lot of support to overcome this and continue his life.
My heart really goes out to that little boy!
EDIT: Was thinking to change my nickname here btw....but I'm a libra so find it hard to decide, LOL. What d'you guys think about 'Jazzebel'? Dunnow but I loooove that name since forever, it comes from Jezebel what means the story from an evil/devilish kind of woman mello....but in feminism it means a strong woman....hmm. The literal meaning is 'dissaproved/honourable'. (Haha, that I even think about this so long.)
If you love it so much and it feels good, then just change your name. I think it's a funky name, but I also like the one you currently have ( haha, not helping you am I ?)
There is no problem at all with this! Just as we've been discussing, if our approach comes from a place of love and not hate...then you can do whatever campaigning you you feel will help Michael and his children. I just think that there is a lot of people negative campaigning - where people attack the media and authors of negative articles. They just fight the negative with negative and it's like a battle. They go around screaming injustice, sending those hate vibes to whoever they feel have done Michael wrong. It's understandable to feel upset at the media, but the situation will not resolve and change will not be made if we only butt heads with them or anyone else. As you said here; being respectful, offering information, and just deciding to not participate in the hate game is the best way.
Eaxctly, coming from a place of love and then saying what you want to say is the idea. So it's not even about convincing others in a strongheaded, stubborn kind of way, it is presenting the facts and referring to the journalists moral code of ethics. It is very difficult for me in a sense, because I was always hot-tempered, impatient and eager to prove I was right when I knew I was right but somehow life lessons taught me to be more even-tempered, more patient and so on. I am still working on these lessons but as you become older you become milder somehow.
The negative campaigning is part of the reason I do not reply to a lot of the strong opinions on this forum, in other threads and other subforums of MJJC I mean. People are all different and entitled to their own opinions, I have no problem with that, just with the hating going on, especially by MJ fans to other people. It's shocking to me.
Next, about the justice thing :doh: Like Amygrace also wrote, I also believe that the best justice we could give Michael is to demonstrate, continue, create more of and grow what he stood for, the highest ideals of love and unity. That's what will last and affect the next generation and what heals the world and what helps the children. For the immediate moment and Murray... gawwwd. [I just deleted like 2 paragraphs here about all my thoughts and experiences and doubts. I guess I don't want to have to torture myself & everyone else with all this at the moment? I don't know. Sorry.]
Oh, thank you to you, CaptainEOLove, MJJLaugh, Amygrace and anyone else I'm forgetting for the compliments on the rare moment of writing. :flowers: It was some kind of crazy inspired typing spurt. I've had this urge to say some things (having the word "write!" in my head, lol) for a couple of weeks now. Sometimes I just can't seem to get it out in any kind of articulate matter (umm, often I can't, lol). Have to find the flow. But yeah, I REALLY wanted to say these things in the vibe of the love letters video, and other things as yet unwritten. I just want people to understand, you know. To have some clue, at least. That was such an issue months ago... "Why do I love you so much, Michael?!" and trying to explain somehow that we're not crazy and celebrity-obsessed because of some psychological/emotional deficiency. :rolleyes2: I know my non-MJ-friends and family just don't get it, which leaves a significant chunk of silence between us because I can't really discusss things that are soo important to me. Thank God for the internet, huh?! But these days I think more like, why do I need to explain this to anyone? When I was writing that post I was mostly thinking of defending Michael, celebrating all our love and giving some info/inspiration to those as-yet unconverted people out there I hope it floats around the internet for years as a celebration of LOVE :heart: (P.S. I think I'm going to make a video to accompany it. I'm thinking of reading it with video playing of Michael.)
Yes Mjbunny, please do, that's an excellent idea. I'm going to post your post in the positive websites thread, with source of course. I will also alert TheChosenOne, our fearless leader of the MJJC legacy group as I would like all of MJJC to read this en encapsulate it in their hearts as an inspiration of love. We need those gentle reminders every now and then. If not Michael, then us, if not us, then who ??
Yes, it's got to be done that way. And I appreciate so much everyone who's written letters and such. I suck in that, I admit. h34r: I was feeling bad about that the other night, about how rarely I ever jumped up to defend Michael like that over the years. I guess I always felt insignificant, like it wouldn't make a difference, or worse that it would be used against him and fans, like "Ha-ha, here's a letter that shows you how stupid MJ fans are". And when I was younger it was pre-internet, which made it tougher to figure out who to even write. Not an excuse, just a thought I had. So anyway, I had the thought two nights ago when thinking of writing more, "Wait, I was willing to die for this man, if only it would have saved him. I should certainly be able to handle name-calling and hater arguments, then." I know that sounds melodramatic, but hey, whatever motivates you, right? I will really try to do more. I seem to have bursts of eloquence only rarely, though , and then totally tinged with fan-ness. I have to work on un-fanning things and fact research (to back things up) to be able to write to/for non-fans, if you know what I mean. It's not easy when you're so emotional about a topic and just know so many things about it offhand without remembering where your proof comes from. Anyway, thanks for the reminder on this.
I think the whole situation was very different when Michael was still alive and had his spokespersons or at least he could defend himself.
Funny you mention the "willing to die for this man" because that is exactly how I feel. I would do anything so he could still be with his children, but unfortunately it doesn't work that way.
We all do what we can to honor him and being able to share that with like-minded people is very comforting to me!!
