Just for Women. Listen to Mrs. Waite speak from her heart to your need. Pause a moment and care. Just for Women is an unusual broadcast for women in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. Yvonne Waite deals biblically with the many issues facing women today. The Bible tells the older women to speak the things which become sound doctrine. teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Listen now to Mrs. Waite speaking just for women. Hi, girls. I feel that I should talk to you a little bit about Michael Jackson. I don't know much about him personally. I couldn't whisper anything, any of his songs, sing any of his songs. I wouldn't recognize them if I heard them. I've heard them now that since he died, but I could not pull up from my memory any of his songs. I guess I've just been in another land when Michael Jackson was our king of King of Pop. Of course, I'm not much into that anyhow. David Bennett from Australia has written the king is dead the headline proclaims the king is dead of course the headline was referring to the death of Michael Jackson the internet news site regurgitated for several days Jackson's death and repeated remarks by those who knew him and those who only knew about him awaiting Michael Jackson's burial which today he hasn't been buried yet and this has been quite a while since he died and for a few days after the news will be talking about his life and his music and who knows what else until one becomes almost nauseated of it all. I feel for his mother I want you to know this because I had a son die and I know what it's like and just because Michael Jackson was Michael Jackson doesn't mean that Mrs. Jackson did not love him as a son and I feel for the family that lost him and it was so sudden my son died very suddenly I was talking to a woman the other day whose daughter died a few months after my son did and she said she went in her room and there she was dead. Just sudden like that and that's the same thing I guess with Michael Jackson. Some people have long suffering deaths and other people die quickly. David Claude has written in his Friday Church News in December, I mean rather I don't know how I got December in there, July 3rd, Michael Jackson's legacy. Michael Jackson, the king of pop, died last week of a probable drug-induced heart attack at age 50. Like Elvis Presley and many other rock gods, Jackson was addicted to a variety of drugs and his narcissism would not allow him to submit to any authority outside of himself. Jackson's influence was great. His music videos helped vault MTV into popularity in the early 1980s. His 1982 hit Thriller is either the first or second best-selling U.S. album of all time. His quirky and yet filthy dance moves helped spawn hop-pop and have been imitated endlessly in contemporary dance. Choreographer Kenny Ortega called him the world's greatest performer. Guinness World Records dubbed him the most successful entertainer of all time. The incredible fascination with Michael Jackson's death is indicative of the moral downfall of Western culture. This is David Cloud talking. Major websites such as Facebook, MySpace, Google, and Twitter slowed following the announcement of his death because of the dramatic increase in traffic. USA Today, America's largest daily newspaper, dedicated nearly the entire front page of the pop icon's death. Major news media's outlet ran 24-hour coverage on every aspect of the man's life and death. Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Nobles, and other major distributors sold out Jackson's music, CDs, and videos within an hour of the announcement of his passing. In an attempt to explain this, Bill Carr, vice president for music and video at Amazon said, they love him. He's a legend and they're anxious to make sure that they have his music in their collection. Jackson is an icon of the rock and roll culture and his legacy was to carry modern society to a new level of debauchery and vanity. He was self-centered, lacked self-control and had no moral boundaries, was enslaved to fashion and consumed with appearance. He squandered a fortune. Though he sold 750 million albums, he reportedly died with a debt of 400 million. Because he lived so far beyond his means, Jackson's life further normalized weirdness and perversions in modern society. As Jane Fonda said in an interview with CNN about Jackson's life, who are we to judge? The rebellion against God and his word grows at pace, but it will come back to a shocking end. We read that in Psalm 2. The ranch that the King of Pop purchased in the 1980s was called Neverland. And that was not only the place where Michael Jackson lived, it was also a place where the modern pub culture dwells. Well, I don't understand this phenomenon of Michael Jackson. I asked my dentist. I went to the dentist. I'm having some work done on my teeth. And I said, well, he had all that stuff in my mouth. I said, talk to me about Michael Jackson. He said, you usually want me to talk to you about my fish. I said, I know, but I want to do a program on Michael Jackson. And I don't understand why this is such a big thing. I'm sorry he died. even though I didn't know him and I feel for his mother and especially for his mother and his brothers and sister and father but what about him? So he said don't listen to his words don't listen to his voice just watch his moves well I've done that but I don't understand I still do not understand but then maybe because dancing isn't my big thing maybe because all this pop stuff I don't understand because I do know about hymns and gospel songs Because I didn't understand I asked a friend of mine, Rob Winograd, I said would you write some things down about Michael Jackson because I don't know anything about him and I want to do a program. I feel that anybody that has taken so much television coverage, so much of the news, everybody is crying over him, everybody is going to miss him, but me I guess, I mean I hope you understand I'm not trying to make fun of this man or of his parents but I just don't understand this. So I said, Rob, would you please write some things down for me? So he did, and I'm going to read you what Rob wrote to me. Mrs. Waite wanted me to give a few words on Michael Jackson and the obsession with him and his death. I'm no expert on Michael, but I am a contemporary, so I understand a little the allure and aura of his personality and music. Michael came from the scene of the 1960s as a young boy singing with his older brothers in the Jackson Five. The songs were love ballads and bubblegum pop music with relatively innocent songs like ABC. with a Motown backbeat. I didn't listen much to Michael Jackson, says Rob, as I was into what would be considered not so innocent rock and roll like the Rolling Stones, who did songs like Sympathy for the Devil and many other vile songs. This was before Rob was a Christian. Let's see, where did I last stop? I looked up and let's see, rock and roll, back and listen. Okay, I was, okay, Sympathy for the Devil and many other vile songs. I think Michael shared his innocent image with the release of Thriller album and DVD in the early 80s which went on to be one of the top of all time selling albums ever in music recording history. Michael had become famous for his slick moonwalk dance before I think Thriller. After the time of Thriller his dancing became graphically suggestive where he would grab his crotch and simulate nude and vulgar acts. This was a time that MTV had become very popular and was a conditioner to soften up the viewing public. The allure of fame seemed to consume the masses. Michael became more and more famous. The spirit of the age knows how to attract the masses. Yes, it does. Michael's worldly attraction of fame and fleshly appeal in his music and dance attracted and captured the masses. Michael's foray into the MTV video world made him the king of pop. As Michael's fame grew, his music and lifestyle took on a devious nature. Violence was incorporated into his music. It seems he was a trendsetter for hip-hop and gangsta, music that typifies the rebellion today and idolizing self, drug use, debasement of women, killing cops, etc. His lifestyle seemed to degenerate as his music became cruder as time went on, culminating in his child molesting. I can't get that word out. pedophilia there it is charges of a young boy and the sleeping over of young boys at his Neverland Castle playground I guess he was like Peter Pan he never grew up and was immensely rich seems the masses wanted that too Michael was obsessed with other dead stars like Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley and eventually even married Elvis daughter Lisa Marie it was rumored that the marriage was never consummated and yet with all this coverage I heard that it was so who knows I wasn't there Rob goes on to say another dead star he idolized was Liberace. Here is a part of an article on his infatuation with Liberace that took him into the occult. Some claim to know the future, are in touch with the dead and even possess the power of spiritual healing. For example, pop star, megastar Michael Jackson claims that he inwardly communicates with flamboyant pianist Lee Liberace who died in 1987. He said, I have my own secret room with a moving wall and mirrors of Jackson. That's where I talk to Lee. He is the voice I hear in there. I feel his presence so very close to me. He added that Liberace is like my guardian angel. He's even given me permission to record his theme song, I'll Be Seeing You. Satanist Aleister Crowley had his own secret room too, says Rob. Michael Starfaro also had him doing the video, We Are The World, with many other big stars who typify the new age humanist globalist ecumenical mindset that permeates the world today. It is nothing more than a rebellion against God and typifies the disillusional spirit of the last days leading to an illusional one, world utopia brought in by the Antichrist. I think Michael's beginning seems innocent enough. That is the subtlety of the devil. Kind of like the frog in the pot to be boiled. When I was into hardcore rock and roll, at least there was no obscuring the line. I knew it wasn't innocent. So no, Michael has died tragically. People still clamor over Elvis. This will be just one more vain idolizing of a figure that did it his way. He was measured by worldly means in money and fame. Matthew 6.27 says, which of you by taking thought can add one cubit into a statue? Stature. Mark 8.36, for what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? 5.37 first, or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Rob goes on to say Michael had everything this world had to offer and he took what he wanted but apparently has lost all. The world seems willing to hang on to Michael's coattails and make the same wager. His brother utilized him, ending with, May Allah be with you always, Michael. That's what one of his brothers said. Previously, he had been a Jehovah Witness. I don't know what to make of all these things. Mr. Bennett from Australia has said, the psalmist states in Psalm 89, 48, What man is he that liveth and shall not see death? Shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. Think, meditate on that for a while. There is not one man that lived in the past or who is living right now or who will live in the future that has not and will not face the grim reaper, death. All Romans in Romans 5.12 tells us why it is so. Wherefore, as by one man, that was Adam, sin entered into the world, and death by sin, and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned. As Charles Pershing said in his Treasure of David, quote, there is none that can claim to elude the arrows of death, end of quote. Moses aptly stated under the moving of God's spirit that the days of our years are three score years and ten, and if by reason of strength they are four score years, yet is there strength, labor, and sorrow, for it is soon cut off and we fly away. So death is sure whatever one's age. Michael Jackson has passed through the door of death from which there is no return.
