And I don't know if this is true (maybe someone can correct this if wrong) but I read that castration can cause problems like autoimmune illnesses or other health issues, and clearly MJ had some health problems.
I agree with you guys about the kids. Who knows, but the eunuch theory seems to be the only thing that would explain almost everything about MJ, imo.
Even in Christian times the practice continued; as women were sometimes forbidden to sing in Church, their place was taken by castrati. The practice remained popular until the 18th century and was known into the 19th century, the last famous Italian castrato did not die until early in the 20th century.

“The English form of the Greek word which means bed-keeper . In the strict and proper sense they were the persons who had charge of the bed-chambers in palaces and larger houses. But as the jealous and dissolute temperament of the East required this charge to be in the hands of persons who had been deprived of their virility, the word eunuch came naturally to denote persons in that condition. But as some of these rose to be confidential advisers of their royal master or mistresses, the word was occasionally employed to denote persons in such a position, without indicating anything of their proper manhood.” -Abbott.

I believe its very possible. I didn’t give much thought to MJ before he died but I began to think that the castration thing would solve the whole mystery of his weirdness.
If it comes out that he was castrated at the request of his father I hope his father gets jail time for ruining the guy’s life.
Maybe he was not the booger bear everyone thought he was. Who knows. I don’t think he was guilty or innocent of the charges because its all just speculation. All I know is that there wasn’t enough damning evidence to lock him up. I am sure the jury would have voted guilty if that evidence had been there.
