Does Anyone Believe You??

I wanted to ask you all: when you tell family and friends that you think Michael Jackson is alive, do they laugh at you? These are the responses I've received:

"ur psycho"
"he's dead"
"r u ok?"
"riiiiiiiight"
"did u take ur meds today?"
"stop saying that ppl will think ur insane"


I've also had ppl laugh at me and my grandmother gave me a look as though she was seriously worried about me. She's a Jehovahs Witness like Katherine Jackson so she doesn't even wanna HEAR about a death hoax in this house. The only person who believes me is my cousin and I introduced my bff to this forum and MJHD and she's startin to question the "death" also. What about you guys? Does anyone else you know believe this hoax theory we all feel is really goin on?

No. no one believed me. I asked everything you posted above.My parents actually started asking me to get professional help. The only place I talk about the hoax is on here. I have lost all my friends, they want nothing to do with me anymore. Every day all I do is, go to work, come home and get on here. nobody else want to be around me. I consider this my family now. You guys are all I have left.

NO one believes me or really wants to to hear it.
They think I am denying the FACT that he has passed away because I have loved him for so long so I am attached..... ANd So on.

I try to explain all the inconsistencies and etc, but they say this happens with all major stars, Like ELVIS, TUPAC and etc.

I did however explain it to my mom and she has come to the site and read a bit on MJHD (not the forum) but the BLOG POSTS and she said she is 50/ 50. She leans more so on the side that he has passed because she says he would not do this to his children....

What really bums is I have no one to talk to this about who listens and believes.
I only have here, and I'm thankful I am apart of this site....

Well let's see...my mom is still on the fence about his death and my dad who thinks outside-the-box like myself, believes his heart is still beating

haha for me is just funny cause one of my friends and i are actually in the same page...and we just talk about it all the time(our classmates just give us a weird look like saying "are u ok!!") but we dont care.
But in my family my dad tells me to get over it, my brother just laugh at me, my mother at least take her time to listen to me talking about it and my nanny she just think that Im nutss.

But I think that this is what make us stronger ...knowing that we are agains the world, the logical and we are just following our hearts

My mom thinks he's dead and so does my sister and my father, but I could care less about my father's opinion because he's one of those ignorant people who hate on Michael. It breaks my heart.

Nobody in my family except me liked Michael, now that is very difficult?

well i "slipped" once and told my mom i think he's alive and she was like, "uh huh..." as she listened. in another convo, she was like, "no, he's dead..." it made me sad and irritated but at the same time, she doesn't know all the evidence floating around out there and i didn't wanna just bombard her with everything all at once. i wish i had something really solid that can't be explained that i could show her or tell her about.

when i told me brother he's still alive, he asked me if he's living in a cave along with elvis and 2pac, lol.

My mum keeps asking me questions concerning the inconsitencies. But my dad, it's the same story as yours, he believes in the sterotypes about MJ, not true facts. It's so frustrating. He doesn't believe my transition from ignorance to absolute love for MJ. He raised me to be a hard-rock fan and won't hear of pop in his house. thank God, I live on my own.

My father just to think like that, but i basically forced him to watch all this thing on tv stuffs and concerts.
Now he thinks he is the greatest singer and dancer and humanitarian of all times, but i cant make him belive about the hoax...yet.
when people tell us that something is not posible, its when we gotta work extra hard to prove them wrong

As long as we're nuts he's safe.

Best response I've had - "He's with Elvis."

Haaha someone told me that he is with Santa Claus

my mom says "he's DEAD" honey and my friend says, "well so what if its a hoax, doesn't that tell you he wanted to disappear from the public eye? even if it is a hoax y'all still need to leave him alone" lol

My sister tells me that I need to move forward and accept the fact that Michael is dead. When I told her about the inconsistencies. She told me I sounded crazy and hung up the phone on me. My friends think I am crazy too. I just keep my thoughts and feelings to myself now. Keep the Faith!

my family and close friends looked at me as if I was in a different world or somethin wen I first told them that I believe Michael is still alive..

some of my family members even called me crazy, insane, which was pretty upsetting and frustrating at the same time to hear them coming from those that I trust and love the most..now, wheneever I even mention 'Michael Jackson', they change the subject bcoz they know what's comign next..

my family is worried about me and tried to make me let go -they told me to stop listening to his songs..like hell that was ever going to happen!!

now, I don't bother bringing the hoax topic anymore when they are around bcoz I want the insults and rude remarks to stop

Everyone I know thinks I'm crazy now. I'm pretty much leading a double life on the internet. Hell, I had to get a second Twitter account. LOL
One of my co-workers is sorta interested and asks me if anything new is going on with the hoax - but he's not 100% convinced. He said that if this is really a hoax then he's kinda mad because "MJ made me cry, made the whole world cry and that's kinda messed up".

My best friend believes me because she feels the same way. My husband is deployed and thinks I'm crazy but says that if this sight keeps me busy and distracted it's causing no harm. He is going to be in for a HUGE surprise when he sees that we are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly! Next to havin MJ back, that's gunna be the best thing to come outta this lol

I just have not told anybody-except my mom who likes the thought herself. In a way I am not sure I believe myself-its like I cannot accept fully that he is dead ,because it is too devastatating,and also it continues with the vein of the rest of his life-total injustice and inconsistancy. CONSPIRACY surrounds all the media coverage that damned him...and so does this.
At the same time I cannot fully believe he is still alive because I really dont wanna get my hopes up...I just pray God if he is alive that he is safe. I pray that if he is not that the full truth about who he was and his character will finally be made known.

lol... I had been getting a lot of the "sure. he is on an island with pac, biggie and elvis..." from my friends and family but the more there are so MANY discrepancies and what they were calling "coincidences" the more I am seeing them start to question it too. My mom, for one, was sure he was gone but then we started talking and I showed her Jonell's videos and Annie's blog and now she is all into the illuminati/NWO connection (thinks he is hiding from THEM)... my friends are starting to notice things too, and are calling me when they do! lol

All in all, I think I am seeing more and more people start to question the whole scenario...

I <3 MJ!

I get a lot of . And I've heard the Elvis "bit" too alot. I try to refrain from even mentioning the possibility of him hoaxing his death around some ppl. They just smile and shake their heads as if to say "you poor thing". Although, my sister did watch a few of JonellStar's vids and is now starting to wonder and wants to know my thoughts about all that has been going on concerning his death. My step-dad and mom thought the burial was a little weird, though.

I'm still torn myself. Part of me says he's gone and that I should be happy knowing he's finally resting from all this craziness but, that other part of me wants to believe he's still here. I'm like neverlandprincess in that I don't want to get my hopes up...it will be like losing him for a second time (does that make any sense?) Idk, if he's still with us I pray that God keeps him safe wherever he is but, if not, I pray they catch those responsible for taking Michael away from us!

Sorry this was so long...and maybe a little off topic but, just needed to get it out of my system

No one believes me except my mum she the only one and the rest of my family asked me if I need a therapist or something like that and I can forget friends as well they are saying I am crazy. But I don't care.
I have the Forum here with nice members and we can share our thoughts.

The only place I talk about the hoax is on here...

Well, I've been very careful about who I tell the hoax theory to. I kind of screen their thinking by asking them casual questions like 'So, what's your opinion on the Michael Jackson Case?' and things like that. I listen to their response and see whether it's time to tell them everything. I don't want to drop the bomb on every single person I see and risk having them think "damn, this chick's crazy! and she believes that mike's not dead? that whole theory must be as crazy as her!". Y'know what I mean?

So far, I've managed to turn some former cynics into hardcore MJ hoax believers.

My older brother: He used to call me crazy and delusional when I started saying that I didn't believe Mike was dead. But, I showed him this site and the inconsistencies showcased in the theories as well as the videos on YouTube... Now, he's the biggest believer in the world. He lectures anyone about the inconsistencies if they ever decide to bring MJ-being-dead up. He's an intellectual guy, and I'm glad to see him comprehend the actual situation.

Four friends from school: They hadn't even HEARD of the theories before I enlightened them. At first, it took awhile to explain and convince them. But, once I got it all out in the open, they had the most shocked look on their faces and they kept going "Oh, my God... you're so right..." and "Yes! Michael's alive, *insert female dog title here*!" and they just kept asking me more and more questions about it. I gave them the link to this site because they're REALLY eager in getting in on the investigation. Mind you, these people used to be HARDCORE CYNICS. Now, they're hardcore believers of the hoax.

And people here and there have been asking me what's new on the hoax every day, even if they're not 100% believers yet... it's a start! I have their interest in this matter and I intend to enlighten them as much as I can!

My parents' are on the fence about this, but I can tell that my mum believes MJ is still alive. She just won't admit it. It's so obvious by the way she keeps slipping me discreet questions about what's new with the hoax theory and things like that.

My dad has always been a big MJ fan and he cried when watching the memorial... I think he secretly wants MJ to still be alive, but just wants to move on without the risk of looking slightly loony.

My sister is still a hardcore MJ fan, she just finds the whole hoax theory too fantastic to comprehend. She won't even listen to me. I told her she's afraid of the truth and she just told me to shut up.

From where I come from, Michael was and still continues to be a HUGE part in our lives, so opinions about this matter can be exchanged without the fear of over-prejudice because everyone knows and loves him in one way or another over here. Especially the students in my school. Heck, my discipline teacher always plays MJ songs in his office and thought us how to do the 'MJ Kick'. And he's about 50-something now!

So, when MJ comes back.... There's gonna be a HUMONGOUS CELEBRATION over here! I can't wait!

Well.... My boyfriend was the first one of us who said that Michael is still alive, the day after he 'died'. After I went out of the shock, I pointed it too.
But right now he thinks I go to far with it.
About other people: I have an uncle who also believes he is alive.
Some friends of mine don't know it, they just don't know what to believe (yes, they are MJfans) but they support me.
I'm glad with that! I have one close friend, I can discuss al this with her. She believes he's alive.

Well, i feel we are all here on the same side!

Basically, my family doesn't claim MJJ passed away, though they don't like me being on this forum, thinking I am too far in it!!
At least, they question his "death"!

I was talking with my mom about a month ago about MJ's dead and all that...and we were talking about his nose operations..after a while my mother told me: "That man is alive for sure!" she said that and I was in shock, I don't know why she drove out that conclusion but she did, and I am sure now that she is and was rigth

The other day watching the news, they were talking about the burial and I said something like "yeah, right, burial... without a body", and my boyfriend responded: "You shouldn't be spending so much time on the Internet!".

My mom believes he's alive so I can talk to her about this all the time, she loves him btw hehe My sis doesn't want to hear about this because she's not an MJ fan but she says he's one of the greatest artists ever. My dad thinks MJ is awesome and he thinks he might be alive. My family never thought MJ is guilty of those horrible things so I love them for that even more

My boyfriend believes that things are really weird about is ¨death¨.
I told my mother he was alive and she was pretty happy about that (never though she would even consider... ).
And I do tell everybody about the hoax and some believe and some look me weird...I don't care...I'm happy to believe, to still have hope...and I'm happy because I find so many beautiful thing about Michael...

The only person who believes me is my mom because I convinced her. At the beginning she called me crazy but after I told her the whole story she changed her opinion. Furthermore, nobody knows that I'm here on this forum. I have a double life

I'm leading a double life too

My husband believes he is still alive, actually on June 25 while watching the TV coverage he said : "Oh he's not dead, he faked it!" He's not a fan though, so he really doesn't care. He does listen to me though. Outside of my kids, no one on either side of the family likes Michael, so I don't talk about it to them.

I am totally living a double life. My husband would think I had totally gone off the deep end if I told him I thought Michael was alive. He already thinks I'm nuts for listening to Michael 24/7 and is very suspicious of all the internet time I'm logging lately. My parents know I believe Michael is alive, but they don't believe it themselves. My mom did say, if you believe he hoaxed his death, then he obviously wanted to get away so why don't you leave him alone?? I'm like, but mom we have all of these clues and out right fabrications! If Michael Jackson had really wanted to disappear forever he would have and we would never have been the wiser.

I just feel in my gut he's still out there and I can't let it go.

jpresley, I'm in the same situation as you are. Don't tell him everything, is better this way. Just... taboo

I told to my deskmate and she said:"Really?But he was dead".
She belives me a bit.

this is exactly the same with me,,thats why i am so pleased that i have you guys to talk to, it means a lot to me Thanks

When I first heard that Michael had passed away I was devastated. I could not sleep, eat or concentrate about anything. My kids were neglected, because all I could do was to watch CNN for news and log on to TMZ for updates (that was before I knew what I know today). I started surfing the net for "hoax theories" and found comfort in "the thought of the hoax".
When I first introduced my mom to the hoax, she was ready to call the doctor and have me admitted... She eventually understood that I needed to have this belief in order to survive - I know it's a strong word, but I literally had him in my head 24/7. When I woke up in the middle of the night after sleeping 2 hours max - I was singing "man in the mirror" or planing on my rescure trip for him - at that time Derek C said he was in Hungary. I have never ever cried as much about another person as I have over MJ's passing. And I didn't even know the man on a personal basis.
I don't know what hit me, but I'm usually not wrong when I have very strong feelings about something and in this case - my feelings are SOOOOOO strong. I truely belive he is alive, but I dont think we will ever see him again. I hope, that with the Vienna Show and the This Is It movie, some clues will be left for us to actually determine that he is indeed alive and from there find some peace at heart, because these past 10-11 weeks have been VERY tough on me.
I tremendously value the work that my "other family members" (the virtual sisters) have done here to find clues and guide me in the right direction and I so much look forward to find some closure to this case - although I would miss coming here.

I feel you and can relate.
I also had to create a 2nd Twitter account as well.....

My Mum and I tend to have huge arguments over this on a daily basis. She thinks I am obsessing too much (which is true!) over a "dead man" and I need to stop. In fact I think she is planning on stealing my laptop when I am sleeping!

I have only told a handful of my closest friends that I believe in the hoax because I know what their reaction will be, and even though it shouldn't matter what others think I still value what their perceptions of me are. Thankfully, they have been kind enough to not make fun of me.

Nobody in my family except me liked Michael, now that is very difficult?

No, but he always talks bad about him... but the things he says...
I guess it isn't hard for you, but for me it's not exactly a piece of pie :\

Well, to be honest I haven't told that many people- but when the subject comes up- IM IN THERE LIKE LIGHTNING
My mum takes a healthy interest in all that goes on, and I truly believe she is coming around to our side! Just yesterday a MJ song came on the radio (on June 26th Billie Jean was on the radio, and we were singing along oblivious to the facts! Next thing we knew.. ''That was Billie Jean from the late Michael Jackson'' were were like WTF?! MEGA WTF?!) so I said ''this is the first MJ song they've played since June 26th'' and my mum says ''yeah, they'll say HE'S ALIVE'' Then i butted in ''Well he is so, ya'nooo.'' And she always listens to the theorys and when I told her about the cornor van she was like, OMG! so we have another one on board I think ;D

My stepdad, in the beggining he was a bit like maybe he is alive. Now he is going to the dark side! And always challenges my theory- I WILL NOT BACK DOWN.

My best friend had a look on MJHD and voted 'yes' for michael faked his death. woop

we're doing well.. (:

The more time passes, the more questions people have_is the tide turning towards more believers?

I don't know what my family believes, but one of my friends sort of thinks that I'm crazy. In July she made a comment about how she wished that she could have been to one of his concerts. I responded saying that who knows if he is really gone; this might all be a hoax. She was just like yeah, right. So I know that she doesn't believe even though I thought she would. After she said that I didn't tell anyone else.
