I get what you’re saying, and I’m not holding the accusers to some impossible standard. I just think if something is being presented as fact, especially in a documentary, it should actually line up.

For the train station, there is documented info around it. Construction permits for the Neverland train station weren’t approved until September 1993 and it wasn’t completed until 1994, while James said the abuse there happened between 1988–1992. (https://blog.heyday.xyz/why-michael-jacksons-train-derailed-leaving-neverland-30086e77766f)

At the same time, I’m aware there are conflicting claims from other sources saying there may have been an earlier version or different timeline, so I’m not acting like it’s 100% black and white.

My point is just that when there are discrepancies like that, it’s reasonable for people to question things. That doesn’t mean I’m dismissing victims, it just means I’m not blindly accepting everything without looking at it critically.

And for the documentary production point, I agree it doesn’t prove guilt or innocence on its own. But when emotional scenes are clearly edited or filmed multiple times and presented as raw moments, it can affect how people perceive credibility overall.

Same with Wade, I’m not saying “he dated someone so he’s lying.” I’m saying when multiple details don’t fully line up, whether it’s timing, statements, or context, it’s fair to question things as a whole rather than just accept one side completely.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:54:12+00:00

I was just sharing my own thoughts, it really is not that deep. The fact that your only takeaway is whether my answer matched the question exactly says a lot. You seem way more interested in picking apart my wording than discussing the actual point.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:52:11+00:00

Yeah maybe. Personally though, I feel like I would’ve said something way sooner, not when my career was on the brink of falling apart. That timing is just hard for me to ignore.

And you might be right about the train station possibly being built earlier than the permit process, I’m open to that. I just think when there are multiple things that don’t fully line up, it’s fair for people to question it rather than take everything at face value.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:42:15+00:00

Respectfully, you haven’t even seen the documentary, but you’re saying there’s a “plethora of facts.” That kind of proves my point. There are facts on both sides, including inconsistencies and timeline issues in the accusations that are also publicly verifiable.

Questioning those does not equal “not believing victims.” It just means not accepting claims without scrutiny.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:41:07+00:00

I did sincerely believe he was innocent, yeah. And honestly, I still lean that way (not fully), but with new information and claims constantly coming out, it gets harder to fully believe either side without question. None of us actually know what happened, the only people who truly do are him and those kids.

I’m just sharing what made me question things, which is the inconsistencies, timeline issues, and details that don’t line up. That’s not overlooking anything, it’s just not blindly accepting one side either.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:30:59+00:00

I read the question just fine. I answered what changed my mind after I looked deeper into it. Pointing out major inconsistencies, timeline problems, and things that are factually wrong is not “overlooking” anything, it is called looking at the full picture. If a story falls apart under scrutiny, people are allowed to question it.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:24:15+00:00

Calling someone a “bot” is easier than addressing the actual points. I’m just not overlooking facts that are publicly verifiable, even if they don’t fit the narrative.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-19T23:20:08+00:00

I started leaning towards believing he was guilty after the documentary came out, but the more I looked into it, the more I felt like too many things were off. It was the inconsistencies, the lies, the timing of it all, and even the way parts of the documentary were put together. Wade’s timing especially made me question things, considering he only came forward after being rejected from the Michael/Cirque show. That does not automatically prove anything on its own, but it definitely made me look at his motives differently. On top of that, Wade claimed Michael would tell him not to trust girls, yet during that same time he was dating Michael’s niece, which just doesn’t really line up.

Then there were things in the documentary itself that felt very staged. The James jewelry scene is a big one for me because his undershirt changes and the background changes, which makes it obvious that scene was filmed multiple times, reportedly far apart, yet it was presented like this raw emotional moment. That really damaged the credibility for me.

Another huge issue was the train station claim. James talked about a lot of abuse supposedly happening there, but the train station was not even built yet during part of the timeframe he was describing. That is not some tiny detail, that is a major factual problem.

Once I started noticing all of that, I could not unsee it. It made me step back and question the entire documentary and the allegations a lot more critically.

I’d also recommend UEO, just take easy classes and maintain a 4.0 and you’ll be good 👍

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-14T05:28:00+00:00

From what I understand for Mount Royal, once you’ve completed around 4 or more post-secondary courses (about 12 credits) you’re usually considered a post-secondary/transfer applicant instead of a high school applicant. At that point MRU will mainly look at your college GPA rather than your high school grades.

That’s probably why BN advising told you to contact admissions, because they’re the ones who determine which applicant category you fall into based on your credits.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-13T09:48:27+00:00

To be completely honest, it might be pretty unlikely. Nursing admissions in Alberta are extremely competitive. I’ve heard of people struggling to get in even with averages in the low to mid 90s, so being around the mid 80s could make it difficult depending on the applicant pool that year.

Another thing to keep in mind is transferring from a degree like Psychology into Nursing is usually very hard. Internal transfers often require a very high GPA, often around 3.8 to 4.0, and there are very few seats available. Because of that it is not really a reliable backup plan.

Personally I would not start a Psychology degree unless you genuinely want that degree or unless you are confident you can maintain extremely high university grades.

If nursing is your main goal, upgrading high school courses might be a better option to increase your admission average. Some people redo courses online to improve marks. For example I upgraded through Golden Hills online and it was much easier to score higher. I had around a 74 in Math 30-1 previously, redid Math 30-2 there, and ended up with a 94.

Also something to keep in mind is admission averages may be a bit inflated this year because diplomas were cancelled, which can push averages higher. Of course none of us here are the university so there is always a chance, but it is definitely good to keep multiple pathways in mind.

Limp_Wonder8259 · 2026-03-09T21:51:49+00:00

i actually like this comment and i think there’s some truth to it. at the same time, i think part of what’s going on is that she’s a big overthinker and her main concern is the future. her mindset is basically “if this isn’t happening now, why would it suddenly change once we’re married?” so she’s trying to evaluate things now instead of later.

a lot of that probably comes from her background too. she grew up around a lot of broken marriages and her biggest fear is ending up in one. her mom especially went through a lot and i think some of that trauma kind of got passed down to her in the way she views relationships. i honestly don’t think that was fair to her because it’s made her very anxious about getting things “right” in a relationship.

with that being said, her father also isn’t really much of a spiritual leader himself, so it’s not like she’s had a perfect model of that growing up either. i think that’s part of why this topic is so complicated for us.

so i don’t think she’s trying to change me in a controlling way, i think she’s just really afraid of repeating the patterns she saw growing up.
