Michael Jackson has been starting his trial days by praying with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, the minister and the singer's spokeswoman said Tuesday.
Michael Jackson receives advice from the activist minister on both spiritual and personal issues, said Raymone K. Bain, the singer's spokeswoman.
``He speaks to the Rev. Jesse Jackson every morning,'' Bain said after Jackson's child molestation case recessed for the afternoon Tuesday. ``They've known each other for a long time.''
She said the singer usually wakes up at about 4:30 a.m., and talks to Rev. Jackson for 15 to 20 minutes. The two talk to each other by phone and pray together, she said.
Earlier in the case the pop star received advice and security from members of the Nation of Islam.
Rev. Jackson said in a telephone interview that the entertainer and his family are Jehovah's Witnesses and the prayer they share is nondenominational.
Rev. Jackson said he speaks to the entertainer in the morning and the evening.
``I counsel him and his family,'' he said.
He said his main message to them is to ``stay focused.''
``He is serious. He is focused,'' Rev. Jackson said of the pop star's demeanor.
``This is a difficulty for all involved, the accuser and the accused. ... He will survive this,'' Rev. Jackson said.
He also said that it was unfair that Michael Jackson's jury has no black members and he challenged a reporter to imagine a situation in which a white person would be charged with molestation and have a predominantly black jury.

It's nice to know that, according to liberals, Christianity is about offering spiritual help to pedophiles.
Let me see now, the last time Jesse prayed with a pervert (Clinton during Monicagate) he was having an affair with Karin Stanford that resulted in their love child. I wonder who Jesse is doin' today? After all how can you effectively pray for a perv if you can't relate to their situation?
He'll do for the pedophile what he did for Davis !
I remember doing that.
Jacko has gone from Rabbi Shmuley to the "fruits of Islam" to just the nuts.
No religions left. The only option for Jacko is Chuck Colson's Prison ministry.
Amen to that.
"How do you know it's bed time at Michael Jackson's house?"
"When the big hand touches the little hand."
"Have you heard Michael's latest hit?"
<falsetto>
"Oh no! Mr. Michael. Nooooo!"
</falsetto>

He got a little behind.

The only thing Jesse Jackson would get up for at 4:30 in the morning would be to pick up a legal extortion check from one of his corporate targets.
I just got it and that is disgusting! LOL!
Thanks, I needed a hearty laugh this morning!
Teddy, Barnie, Jessie, Michael, Jane, John, Barbara, Meathead, Hillary, Boxer.. the list is practicly endless.

Aren't they a lovely bunch OF FINE UPSTANDING AMERICANS!!!! Makes you proud to be an American, doesn't it ???
And aren't his parents Jehovah's Witnesses?
I'm sure you are feeling the same relief I am over the failure of those plans..............;^)
Good grief!
That won't help.
Praying with a minion of the devil will only ensure his fate - prison.
Bobby Sherman looked old to me when I was a kid - now David Cassidy was a good one, but he was old too - Donny and Michael are both my age, er, I mean they are ten years older than me, but SEEM like they are my age......... ;^)
Of course. The same with me.
