Thanks Walktall for update.
However Shiela you could be right, but time will tell.  Knowing Johns history pattern with women probably someone took advantage of that and did an awful thing to start a rumor as rumors live a life of their own.
But none the less prayers are still going up.
And if this article is true then well hopefully God will give John a moment of clarity.
I agree with you 100%, he is a good man and he deserves best.  And thats to be happy, joyous and free.
And John if this sounds good to you, then take some time out (that means no wives, no girfeinds, no freinds with benefits and one niters) trust God and clean house.  This is what in codependency we call "being set free from the bondage of self."  There is a difference between being alone and loneliness.

Yes it is.  I  really loved this article.  I just love it when people turn their lives around and share what it used to be like, what happened and what its like now.
I see Keith likes some of the other oldtimers too like my #1 heartbreaker Tom Petty and others.  Hes following in good footsteps thats for sure.

Theres a difference between reaching out to someone and analyzing.  And to only care about what John can do and not care that he is a person?  Thats sad.  Johns a good man.  He deserves better than that.  After all he is a human being not a human doin

Has nothing to do with being freinds with ex's and children.  Its a repetitive pattern that keeps getting repeated over and over again with marriages and relationships with women. I mean doesn't that show that there is something wrong?  Is it becuz John is quote on quote "famous" that makes this kind of pattern of living ok?  Remember fame is fleeting

Thanks Mellenfan.  This is a true testimony.  This is what "time out, trust God, and clean house" is all about.  I have been clean and sober going on 29 years in Jan 2012.  Course AA is a melting pot, I don't know how Keith did it, doesn't matter, he did it. 
I know John was a party person when real young, but I don't believe he ever became an alcoholic or an addict.  He was smart enuf to quit at an early age so he didn't have to cross that line where there is no turning back.  He was just playing in the sandbox back then.  Its codependency issues I believe he has problems with.  And the same principles apply to codependency issues.
Thank you so much for this heartwarming article.  Like I said I used to be a counselor and have counseled limelight people.  They can turn their lives around.  I have seen it.  And this here article is proof enough of what I have been saying all along in this forum.  There was someone in Keiths life who had the courage inspite of what people may of thought or said and reached out to Keith.  And I commend that person or persons whoever they may be.  And I commend you mellenfan for posting this.  This made me feel upbeat.
There is an old saying I used to be told " For one that is lost there is always another one to be found."

The words from John's song "If I Die Sudden" were about his uncle as one poster replied to one of my posts.  Johns uncle was an athiest.  However, there is one thing you are correct on.  You said you have been following John since 1974 and he hasn't changed in the area of women.  What is wrong with him taking time out for himself to have a relationship with himself and his Higer Power?  And look back and see mistakes that he has made so he doesn't have to repeat them again if he doesn't want to? 
As far as saving him? No.  There is a difference of reaching out and saving him.  John don't need to be saved.  He has been a believer before he became well known.
And as far as fame?  Welp fame is fleeting.  And to put him on a pedestal.  Remember Johns human, he will fall off that pedestal.  And you say to stop comparing my life with Johns, that you don't care if its physical or emotional what he may be dealing with?  Lord have mercy, this is a man with feelings not something you just make up to idol worship.
And like I said I knew that I would get a lot of different type of feedback when I started reaching out to John, cuz I know he comes in here and reads, My prayer partners and I are not praying for you or anyone else, but for John.

OMG, marilynb, I would so love for you to stop comparing your own life to Johns. Sorry, but you make no sense to me at all.  I can tell you are disappointed his marriage to Elaine failed - for reasons unknown to any of us, yes also to you! - but he has clearly moved on and is not looking back. No need to keep on preaching on and on about how he is according to you on the road to disaster and how your life has been totally like his or whatever.  

No rhonda Im not comparing myself to John, however, I just tell it like it is.  I have done so many google searches, seen lots of different pictures, listened and read some of Johns interviews, and what gets me is reading the posts that people have made in such places.  In the posts I find people patronizing him and litterally being very insulting.  But not one time  have I read a person have the courage to come forward and say "hey John, look at whats happening." and also take the risk of caring enough to reaching out and sharing their own story.  Does anybody else?
And as for John being a believer of Jesus Christ Superstar, yes he is.  If you look very closely at his concert videos, there is a figurine statue in front of the drums.  When you see it, you will see who that figurine statue is.  And also another member did mention in a reply to one of my posts that John is a believer.
Am I disappointed that John and Elaines marriage didn't work out?  Yes.  Because for once I thoght in Johns life he may of broke that pattern of his but evidently not, not yet anyways.
But like I mentioned earlier when I was a codependency counselor, I have counseled limelight people, and one which I counseled said that its not unusual for so many breakups, divorces and relationship run throughs with people who are in the limelight.  They said its like its become the lifestyle, and its the norm.  They called it "The love disease run rampant."  If you look at the word disease and seperate it it looks like this "dis-ease." To me that is very sad.  But after all we do live in a disposable society don't we?  Like I said I am reaching out to John.  And I knew that when I started doing this in the beginning I would get a lot lof feedback, but its not anything different that I haven't been thru before.

When a person keeps making the same mistake over and over again repeatedly without looking at the causes and effects this is what wreckage is.

You answered your own question mellenfan 2 ex wives now a 3rd one and only John knows the "inbetweens."  No even if there was any other kind of person involved it wouldn't be a differrent story.  It's one thing to move on pysically, its another emotionally. Repeating the same pattern over and over again is not moving on.  Its what is called being "stuck."  And don't think that John doesn't ask himself "why?'  I am a fan of Johns, however, I have to remember that he is only human and not an icon.  Legends are only made up in ones own mind.

Sorry, but shouldn't videos be posted in the video thread? It's not exactly a new video.

I have seen a lot of old and new videos posted here and other places in the forum besides the video thread

No Rhonda I don't base any of what you said on just 2 pictures.  If you do a google search on him and Meg you will find a lot more on the internet then what you see here in the forum.  Its a known fact that John has a wrecked past when it comes to women.  And thats all there is.  Its right there in front of all eyes.  Why all the rationalization for a justification for that kind of living?
Like I said I trudged down that same road (and countless of others, I used to be a codependency counselor)  Until John takes time out for John and clean house, then he can have a healthy happy relationship/marriage.  Otherwise he keeps on doing what he is doing over and over again expecting different results, he won't know what true happiness is in being with another person.
Codependency does not work. It knows no boundaries.  Its no respector of people, places or things.
Like one limelight person told me (no names mentioned due to anonimity) men running thru women or women running thru men in the limelight life is like a disease run rampant.

I wouldn't call Johns love llife stablelized.  Its not wise to keep adding onto the wreckage of ones past

Here is one that came from me and John's time.  This was a big one back in our day.  Remember this one John?

Good one!

Yes it is.  In fact Tom Laughlin is still at it even today.  He is in his 70's now but you can check him out at http://www.billyjack.com

Old Dirty Harry, Chuck Norris, The Terminatior etc etc etc ain't no match for Billy Jack.  That is why I say we need a Billy Jack Revival in this country

keep the faith / peace & love

Since we are in a time of movie remakes galore. Very surprised Billy J has not been remade yet.

[/quoteThere is going to be another 2nd pitch to the Billy Jack Sequel.  To find out more  go to the website and Tom Laughlin himself talks about it.  It would be truly amazing if there was one.  This movie when it came out was so controversial for its time, but again it is time and it was time a long time ago
