I have met a great many Jehovah's Witnesses who are sincerely convinced they are doing God's work (I live not far from their Brooklyn headquarters).....I may not agree with their beliefs, but I cannot deny that they are fine, upstanding and charitable individuals. On the other hand, I have worked with one who such a totally off the wall zealot, that I tried to avoid him whenever possible. But then, I avoid ALL zealots when I can :) :)

Thanks for the update on Michael Jackson...that poor soul is so caught up in his own publicity that he may NEVER find peace.
Being so far removed, it is difficult (for me, at least) to judge whether Michael is simply confused, or a psychotic child molester....sincerely looking for God, or merely making a mockery of ALL beliefs. I would like to give him the benefit of the doubt, but his actions, at times, are so grotesque that it is almost impossible to see him as anything other than the "monster" the press makes him out to be.
I DO know that the "Nation of Islam" is a highly dangerous, radical, group...especially since Louis Farrikan has become leader.
