What's Really Going On? VOLUME 1, ISSUE 1 | Page 8

What Really Happened On June 25, 2009? A great flood of energy filled with something magnificent and unexplainable, but made up of unpolluted light and love; that became evident in thousands or maybe millions of people, globally, at the same time. This unexplainable experience seemed to be associated with the death of Michael Jackson. How could that be? Who was this man? A question, at that time, that was not easy to answer but became quite clear as I moved among the wilds of this peculiar place known as the internet and God sent the right people. Before June 25, 2009 my visits to the internet consisted mostly of using yahoo email and paying bills online. So what changed? The answer is simple but complicated, Michael Jackson. About a week before Michael conceded to pass from death to life I thought of him; and I wondered how life was treating him. I reminded myself to inquire of his whereabouts and what he was doing. I had not heard anything about him since the 2003 allegations of child molestation and the 2005 trial, which I totally disregarded as nonsense. I've always been a Jackson supporter but of course Michael and Janet were the only Jackson's who were talked about the most. Anyway, I had a very demanding schedule with the ministry and grandchildren; and that seemed to be enough for me. I never gave one thought to being unhappy or lonely; and never had time to think about things such as that until that horrible day came. I can honestly say that dreadful breaking news announcement of Michael Jackson passing away came across the television screen and I have NOT been of the same mindset since. Like everyone else I was in shock for days, weeks, months and a few years. It's still hard to believe but a bit more acceptable now. If I did not have some spiritual connection to God I would not be able to handle this well, but I thank God that I know Him, who I am and most of all whom I belong to. However, that "Lightning Bolt Syndrome" had penetrated my spiritman and I became another part of that mysterious bolt. That's the term given by one fan from a Michael Jackson Amazon Discussion Community. A place I found while in pursuit of everything Michael Jackson, as many others were doing the same. Anyhow, I happened upon this thread called "Why Am I Still Crying Over Michael Jackson" and found so many Michael Jackson fans actually crying, but being so pleasantly comforted at the same time. 8 I think I may have waited a week before I felt comfortable enough to introduce myself. What a group of loving people, mostly women. If there were any male mourners on-board they never made that obvious, but what was this “Lightning Bolt Syndrome” and what did it have to do with so many people crying over Michael Jackson’s death? Why did we feel this way about him? We knew he was the greatest entertainer in the world but there were many great entertainers, as far as I was concerned. What was so special about Michael Jackson? What made me think of him a week before he passed away? Of course I became distracted with my usual routine that I never had a chance to search for an update on his activities. I didn’t learn about the comeback tour until after his passing. I’m still mad at myself about that. Was that a warning and I ignored it? I don’t know but I think it was. God was preparing me for a greater work and I didn’t know that. My ministry was to be to those, who would receive Christ, from the Michael Jackson fan community. I was fooled by that kind of thinking. At that particular time the women were not looking for ministry or God. They didn’t want to hear about God. Most of them wanted to have sex with Michael Jackson while others wanted to worship him. I have to admit, for the single or widowed woman, he was the kind of man that many women dream of marrying. I’ve never been able to figure out why the married women were so infatuated with him. I understand why they came to the community, originally, but it’s been almost five years and many are still here. Were/Are they not in love with their husbands? Many of them pose as advocates but that’s highly suspect too. Many do more fighting over Michael than for him, LOL. Is it possible we may have misinterpreted the message? I don’t believe Michael would want his fans to compromise their marriages or family responsibilities because of him. Let’s define lightning bolt and syndrome. Lightning Bolt - abrupt electric discharge from cloud to cloud or from cloud to earth accompanied by the emission of light Syndrome – according to the medical dictionary defined as a set of symptoms occurring together.
