"Religion thriller: Michael Jackson and his possible explorations of faith" by Michael Paulson, Globe Staff | July 5, 2009
The King of Pop was a Jehovah’s Witness. A Muslim. He accepted Jesus before he died. The Vatican loved him. There’s even a Jewish angle of sorts.

And SHE'S the one now RAISING a RUCKUS about the WILL!!
You CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!
