In her account, Sandra Crouch provided a little more detail to the one her twin brother relayed to Nassanaey, reporting that she and Andrae had met with Jackson to discuss recording two songs with their choir for Jackson’s news recording project.

“Michael always had a respect and curiosity for spiritual things,” Sandra noted.

“During our meeting, not unlike many other creative/music meetings we've had with him the past, we sang together, prayed together and had a wonderful time,” she recalled.

But, as Nassaney acknowledged, Jackson “definitely had an ‘encounter’ with them (the Crouches).”

What happened between the time of the “encounter” to Jackson’s death last week is anybody’s guess.

“As of today, I have no idea where Michael Jackson stood spiritually at the time of his death,” confessed Anderson, who also serves as a spokesperson for Focus on the Family.

“But God knows. And God will decide what He does with Michael's soul,” she commented.

“It may sound cliché, but it's devastatingly true: The King of Pop will be called to give an account to the King of Kings,” Anderson added.

According to Jackson family spokesman Ken Sunshine, a public memorial was in the works but it won't be at the Neverland Ranch, Jackson's former home.

Meanwhile, authorities are still investigating the circumstances surrounding Jackson's death. Allegations have emerged that the 50-year-old entertainer had been consuming painkillers, sedatives and antidepressants.
