　　since i was already a celebrity, i would have to don a disguise of fat suit, wig, beard and glasses and we would spend the day in the suburbs of southern california, going doortodoor or making the rounds of shopping malls, distributing our watchtower magazine. i loved to set foot in all those regular suburban houses and catch sight of the shag rugs and lazboy armchairs with kids playing monopoly and grandmas babysitting and all those wonderful, ordinary and starry scenes of everyday life. many, i know, would argue that these things seem like no big deal. but to me they were mesmerizing.
　　i used to think that i was unique in feeling that i was without a childhood. i believed that indeed there were only a handful with whom i could share those feelings. when i recently met with shirley temple black, the great child star of the 1930s and 40s, we said nothing to each other at first, we simply cried together, for she could share a pain with me that only others like my close friends elizabeth taylor and mccauley culkin know.
　　i do not tell you this to gain your sympathy but to impress upon you my first important point : it is not just hollywood child stars that have suffered from a nonexistent childhood. today, itamp。s witnesses do. and it was then that i was able to see the magic of other peopleamp。t stopped dancing or singing. but while performing and making music undoubtedly remain as some of my greatest joys, when i was young i wanted more than anything else to be a typical little boy. i wanted to build tree houses, have water balloon fights, and play hide and seek with my friends. but fate had it otherwise and all i could do was envy the laughter and playtime that seemed to be going on all around me.

　　all of us are products of our childhood. but i am the product of a lack of a childhood, an absence of that precious and wondrous age when we frolic playfully without a care in the world, basking in the adoration of parents and relatives, where our biggest concern is studying for that big spelling test e monday morning.
　　those of you who are familiar with the jackson five know that i began performing at the tender age of five and that ever since then, i havenamp。m 80! so please harken to my message, because what i have to tell you tonight can bring healing to humanity and healing to our planet.
　　through the grace of god, i have been fortunate to have achieved many of my artistic and professional aspirations realized early in my lifetime. but these, friends are acplishments, and acplishments alone are not synonymous with who i am. indeed, the cheery fiveyearold who belted out rockinamp。 and tonight i even walk like iamp。m at least 80 amp。m sure that iamp。 it is also prised of the volumes of knowledge that are written on the human heart, chiseled on the human soul, and engraved on the human psyche. and friends, i have encountered so much in this relatively short life of mine that i still cannot believe i am chiseled only 42. i often tell shmuley that in soul years iamp。 and you know, einstein in particular was really terrible at that.
