[@SThompsonRAMM_1203]

Saw him live and it was one of the most entertaining shows I’ve ever seen. Mark plays multiple instruments, flies all over the stage and is quite the showman. The rest of the band is equally impressive, Hope he tours again soon!

[@johnjones1534]

He's talented. Even moreso when he's properly medicated, unlike the Letterman performance, when he clearly took all he had

[@theharshtruthoutthere]

@@johnjones1534 Bible calls all Christians to judge righteous judgment. not personal (which i also don´t do) but to judge in general. Real Christian judges himself / herself daily therefore have no need of extra judging. John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. 1 Corinthians 11:31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. This 1 Corinthians 11:31 is so true. as i a CHRISTIAN judge myself daily, then no matter how "judgmentally" someone speaks to me, about me, is then not judging, cause i already have judged me, therefore "escaping" the judgments of others. Mr Jackson needed to become satanist in order to have that level of fame and rich. Becoming a satanist, also known as mason, is the rule for life long rich and fame. Jackson didn`t get rich and famous because of his talent, he got it all, because of whom he became /satanist/mason and whom he served (lucifer) and Jackson clearly served his master, the old devil, as Jackson showed ever beginning of his concerts the hand signs of freemasonry. The 2 hand signs which Jackson used the most were. - 666 - devil horns And as Jackson needed to become a mason/satanist, the same with all other known singers/ actors. Doing rituals as they give their concerts. There are 4 most used masonic hand signs singers and actors use: - 666 - devil horns, - vow of silence, - one eye And as they all before Jackson and after Jackson time, work IN the music industry, therefore are they all also masons/satanists. That`s a rule, and who ever don´t want that, have no place among them. There is a CHOOSING, all must do. Deuteronomy 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: Joshua 24:15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
