I wonder what is her objective? What is she trying to prove? I think JB is a passionate woman and made a mistake, we all do and God is merciful. However, why doesn't she just move on without the pageant? I think this is more of a new beginning party than a Birthday party (the wedding dress, sword shenanigan, sacrifice of past keepsakes) . On a superficial note, she looks great, she loves pink lipstick, Go JB! God bless ya!

Although I too believe that the party showed that she is still in pain and is maybe trying to put on a brave face, but some of you crack me up to think that just b/c of her status she is not entilted to spend money (lot's of it) on her b-day party. What are you doing with your money are you giving it all away to the needy. If you have a problem with lliving Fab don't go to heaven but I guess you'll judge God and say that heaven shouldn't be so nice when they are needy people on the earth.

To Kyoto and others who may have harsh words to say about people, you may want to watch what you say about people who profess to live for Christ. Let God be the judge not man b/c the way that you judge her so shall you be judged.

People please just stop Judging period. please. Especially for us that walk in Christ together. Just Pray if you do not agree. I wonder if we had a picture of our lives out there how many comments we would get. He who has an ear, Let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches. "Stop"

It all seems a bit too much, but she has every right to celebrate any way that she wants. But, I am a bit concerned.... Something just appears a little "off" here. Sometimes we try too hard to prove that we have overcome pain, heartache or disappointment. I think that this grand affair that is supposed to prove that she has moved on only proves that she's not quite there yet. I will continue to pray for her emotional healing and strength. A nasty (and public) divorce and a death of a loved one in such a close timeframe is enough to make anyone a little over the top. I guess putting on this interesting event is better than sitting at home crying your eyes out.

There are some hypocritical comments being made regarding this party. Whether you like what she wore or how she looked is beside the point. But to question someone's integrity because they choose to celebrate their birthday is a bit much. If you are a Christian, you should have the same standards for yourself that you are putting on her. Should you not celebrate to mark a milestone birthday? Should you give your money to a shelter? Yeah, some things may have been over the top for some people's tastes. But the beauty of it is that God made us all uniquely. So what one person likes, the next person might not. We don't know all the ins and outs of what she went through, so however she needs to come out of it and thank God for bringing her out is completely up to her.

Happy belated Birthday Prophetess Juanita! I knew you would bounce back from your set back because Gods got your back! You have been a great inspiration in my life. I have learned from you as I have watched you over the years. Your books have brought a great impartation into my life as I meditated on your writings. I have all your Cd’s as I enjoy listening to the praise and feeling His presences in my room as the music plays. You’re an awesome woman of God, and I know that many to come will be minister to through your ministry. Run on my Dear Sister and NEVER look back. You are loved!

I think her birthday party was great, she's uplifiting herself through jesus just because we cant see it doesnt mean it's not so. Opinions are like butt holes everybody has one. Was the wedding dress on her birthday a lil over the top yeah I think so my opinion, but to each it's own if thats what she wanted to do then so be it. Stop hating just b/c you wouldn't do what she did, she's grown and if it's something that wasn't "uplifiting" to Jesus I'm sure he'll let her know at the gates quit being concerned with other peoples lives and do you
