Michael Jackson kids stands up against their grandmother Jehovah’s Witness faith - 'refuses to preach door-to-door'
She may be just 15 but Paris Jackson
is fast growing into an adult and is determined to make her own
decisions - especially when it comes to how she practices her religion.
The
daughter of Michael Jackson has refused to follow her grandmother
Katherine in preaching door-to-door, as is common in their Jehovah’s
Witness faith.
After years
of going with her family around their Calabasas, California,
neighbourhood spreading the religion's message every Sunday, the
15-year-old and her brother Prince Michael, 16, have decided to no
longer participate.
According to Radaronline the young girl felt she and her brother were being seen as the 'weirdos' of the area.
A
source told the website: 'Paris resented going door-to-door for
Jehovah’s Witness, even though it was what her grandmother wanted.'
'So, she dug her heels in a few months
back and told Katherine she just doesn’t want to do it anymore - and
Paris and Michael haven’t done it since.'
However, the daughter of the late pop star has no plans to renounce the religion that her father was bought up practicing.
The
source added: 'Paris just feels she’s more grown up now, and while
she’s not renouncing her Christian values she doesn’t want to go
door-to-door for Jehovah’s Witness forever.'
Following in the footsteps of her famous father, Paris wants to focus on her music.
'She
has her own goals in life now and her own dreams. She wants to continue
with her acting career, loves playing the guitar and would welcome the
opportunity to follow in her father Michael’s footsteps into pop music.'
Paris has been working hard to bring a sense of normality back to her life since the death of her father in 2009.
As
well as no longer being home-schooled, she has reconnected with her
mother Debbie Rowe who originally signed away all parental rights to her
late father.
The
mother and daughter we seen enjoying lunch together, just days after
they were pictured celebrating Paris’ birthday together.
In
a recent interview for the Mail On Sunday's Event Magazine, Paris
revealed that she had also been shopping with her mother, an activity
that her grandmother approves of.
Paris said: 'When I'm with my mom, we don't really have security with us. Which is really nice.'
