Debunked Rumor: Julio Iglesias Sings a Jehovah's Witness Kingdom Song about Jehovah in Honor of his Mother

[Jacki Overholt]

This is definitely NOT Julio Iglesias. He is from Spain and there is no Spanish accent in the singing of the song. You can compare listening to his other songs.

Yes,  @Monique Suzanne Vortman,  you  and  some  others are right  and  I read it  too...   My pioneer girlfriend apologized by our  phone-call !   I now will be MORE careful what  I believe !  I'm  sorry  for  that  false  posting  and  of  course,  the  singer  is  *Joan Manuel Serrat*  ;-)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Manuel_Serrat

His  mother  was  a  JW  and  he  maybe  too  -  I  don't  know  exactly.  But  I  wanted  clear up  that  problem  here,  bec.  we've  to  be  honest !

If  the  posting  is  to  remove,  I  ask  the  Librarian,  he  has  to  decide. Agape !

It is better to leave the information up so as to squash the false rumor for the next 1000 people.

I think that most people see a collection of eight photos/articles at the bottom of the screen. (I mean the "Powered by Google" grid of articles and/or ads to click on.) We probably don't all see the same selection of 8 items, but in my case it is always heavily slanted to the fake news about JWs, or JW celebrity news, or both (Trump warns Russia over JWs, Jackie Chan is one of Jehovah's Witnesses, and this current one, etc.)

It is the one topic I am least interested in, rarely click on, and it always embarrasses me that these types of articles are readily believed by Witnesses, and sometimes even SOURCED by Witnesses.

I understand that there is a certain use to keep such rumors "up" to drive traffic, but is it only gullible traffic that is desired? I have found some of these fake topics to be easily proven untrue in a matter of seconds, but sometimes these things stay up, even after I have shown the poster the proof. (The last one was to @Bible Speaks and there was not even a response.) I've seen this happen with other people also, just as it happened in this thread.

I prefer to not have such articles demeaning the site, but I know that it's at least possible to change the title of this topic, even slightly, to indicate that we all know better. I'm surprised it wasn't changed months ago, or within a couple hours of the initial post.

Maybe Trump didn't. Maybe Chan isn't. Maybe Inglesias didn't. But they all should have.
