I am the son of Larry Norman

- This is the story of Jennifer and Daniel Robinson, who for the last 19 years have been trying to get Larry Norman to admit that he fathered Daniel.

We have known Jenny for about 27 years, and we know this to be true.
Lol..sure you do
@@mrheckles1972 And how long have you known her? 28 years?
I am so sorry Jennifer and Daniel. :`(
Lord have mercy.
I was as big a Christian music fan during the 70's & 80's as you could find. Though Larry Norman wasn't one of my favorite artists, I certainly liked some of his songs and saw him in concert. His album "In Another Land" (1976) is very good indeed. However, the 'Larry-praise' in this comments section is very strange to me. The plain truth is that he did all kinds of things that were wrong, weird, and inexcusable. He had major problems; maybe even paranoia. The blind idolizing evidenced by some in this column is actually disturbing. Personally, I believe this (late) woman's story, and it's very sad.
What I find disturbing through this whole thread, is the blind-faith, yes, BLIND faith in Larry Norman, another fallible human being. There have been posts here that equate "slander" on Mr. Norman, with slander on the Bible. Who are you kidding??
I personally have many LN albums, and still enjoy them. He was a talented and gifted man. He was a groundbreaking evangelist in the realm of Christian Rock, a genre he pretty much invented, but he was human.
I feel so sorry for Daniel. I wish Larry did the right thing. He didn't and just turned his face when he had a son who needed him. It's torture watching this as a Christian.
I don't understand why Charles and Kristin are being held responsible for whatever Larry did or didn't do. How is it their responsibility? Why are they being summoned? I'd be pretty upset if people hunted me down and wanted me to take responsibility for my brother's actions!
Ever heard of King David?
God uses all kinds of humans.
Grace has given us LIFE
A sad but revealing story of falling apart as being a believer. Sad to be seeing how far some of us fall.
DNA TEST would settle this pronto.
I believe you. The religious community can be very vicious. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Godspeed.
Non religious people are vicious. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. That's why we need a savior.
So happy to find your story. I believe the proof has come out that you are his son since this was released?
How exactly could these accusations be backed up more? We have the testimony from those closest to him, evidence of ongoing sexual immorality, horrific treatment of his SR employees . . . and now we have evidence of an illegitimate child. The more we learn, the more it adds up. If it were money Daniel were after, you think he'd go after a broke Christian artist?
Daniel's likely to be telling the truth, given the context of Norman's life. He had great music, but that's not the issue here.
That really stinks. I am sorry he blew you off like that. The more I hear about Larry, the less I like him as a person.
Hello Daniel, glad to hear mom did a pregnancy test, ok, but since it's so easy to get any gov' to run a DNA identity test [as I had to do], why not get one? His passing away in 2009 doesn’t hinder this, just do it and move on?
Can they legally deny a paternity test?
It's about time that Daniel was recognised as Larry's son by Larry's family. As Daniel said, the music and the man are different.
Larry Norman frequently asked for money for his "medical expenses" yet he lived in a 5,000 sq ft. tri-level home when he died, he had MANY cars, and in a letter to Pamela, his first wife, stated that he had two Mercedes Benz amongst his collection. He also owned three other homes.
Larry was a man of God..end of story..his music changed peoples lives....we even wrote a song about him called "Norman"
What this really exposes is the sense in which the church only accepts 'perfect people'..... a Christian's life can never NOT live up to the message, because the message is that we are HOPELESS without CHRIST! The church should (Past, present and future) embrace people like Larry Norman acknowledging their failures because it conveys a much more powerful message to the world than their ability (however empowered by the Holy Spirit) to abide by a moral code does.
I watch this many years ago. And wondering what has happened to Jenny and her son anyone know? I heard that she passed away is that true or not?
Amazing story. Larry Norman was just such a charismatic figure I can well believe this. Then of course there was the breakup with Randy Stonehill. The genetics look pretty good though appearance is no definite proof.
Sorry that you and your son had to deal with this. Remember what he did and didn't do is not JESUS. To quote a Wayne Watson song" That's not JESUS. HE doesn't carry on that way. It's flesh and blood like you and me somehow gone astray." May GOD be the best FATHER to you.
I was an Australian Christian muso in the 70s and 80s, who loved Larry's work. I have spoken to someone who I believe would know, and satisfied myself personally that Jenny is credible.
I still love Larry's music, and I wish the Normans no ill, but the right thing should be done for Daniel. Charles would be able to pick up the phone and confirm very quickly that Jenny is not just a loopy fan, and that a DNA test is needed.
And an honest appreciation of Larry should be warts and all. Big wart!!
This is not the proper forum for this sort of a thing. Paternity tests could have been done way back when...and may even be possible still. Using the court of public opinion for something like this is not cool. Now that the man isn't here to defend himself make this especially screwy.
exactly!
It is strange, because when I look at this young man, he just doesn't even look a little bit like Larry. I hope for this young man, that he will find his father, because that is important.
I wish the woman would speak clearly. Why are they telling the world about this. Surely, it is a private matter.
The devil tried to trip up God's own apostles in the same way; hoping that it would somehow make their message about God's love any less true. It doesn't. In fact, it proves that God still loved Larry even though he was human like the rest of us....So instead of allowing the devil to win, let us not forget his massage, Love your brother, love the Lord, and be ready when he comes back to get his imperfect but faithful bride, us! I hope we'll all be ready..........
I believe you, Daniel.
Believe it or not, a lot of us have to forgive Larry Norman for his behaviour. Even fans who looked up to him have to do this. The musicians whose careers he harmed. He let down a lot of people.
You`ll get a lot of negative comments here because his fans are the ones looking up Norman songs on UA-cam.
So many musicians are such miserable, lousy, clueless fathers...even David of the Bible. So strange...
@MsPony65 I think anyone who accuses this woman of having "a screw loose" when she dated Norman and has a son from that exact dating period who looks exactly like him is the one with the screw loose.
"I know now who my father is, and I know just where I stand..."
sorry had to do it!
@MegaMandrake99: you're kidding, right? Ask Jenny, she knows what Larry wrote and what she wrote back. Something including demands for airline-tickets ...
This people demanded to see Larry's will, went to court, but not because of money? Larry stated in his requests that he wouldn't include Daniel in his will without a positive, certified DNA-test. He kept his promise, declaring in the will that he isn't Daniels biological father. Jenny lied in her open letter posted on the web, she knew this.
wow. He looks like Larry, Hard to believe...but these people look and sound sincere. Doesn't really matter...and they should have made this video YEARS ago...but...ah well. I love Larry...and his Memory...and I love Daniel and Micheal too!
How did I miss this one? I'm so mad when I see this people praising Larry in the comments of his videos. I always leave links to FALLEN ANGEL. It shows his insanity that he was angry she simply told the truth! A pure narcissist!!! 😡😡😡
That's not the only thing it means. It also means you are missing out on his medical history. It means that he avoided his responsibilities as a father. It means that you were robbed of the history of your lineage.
You see, there are more issues involved than one man's acceptance.
Daniel looks like Larry.
Your first sentence illustrates just how different your own situation is. Your second sentence provides insight into similarities in your own heart. It belies your own interest in knowing who he is. "Perhaps I'll find him one day" overtly expresses your continued search for your father. So, it seems that, in your heart of hearts, you would likely feel exactly like Daniel if you were actually able to "walk a mile in his shoes."
I hope you both find the answers and the peace you seek.
So sorry bro. Your story breaks my heart. I don't doubt it is true. Condolences for some of the comments below. I am 50 now and came to Christ during one of your father's concerts. There is a place in the church for the Hippie Christian Left. It's tragic that your dad wasn't a responsible part of it. We'll keep you and your mom in our prayers.
Exactly. The people so far that I've heard testify are
1) Andrew, the husband who is TOTALLY trying to use this to rip off Larry's last posessions from Charlie who last I knew was living in his house. His protocol hasn't been remotely biblical. Note my interactions with him on facebook Larry Norman group and here.
2) David DiSabbatino. Renown Gossip. Larry fully wasted his gripes and he waited til Larry was dead then released his movie to further his mission to destroy Larry's rep...and..
I would be interested to know why a copy of an official birth certificate put out by the registery of births deaths and marriages of Victoria wasn't shown?
Also note that the Victorian Birth Certificates of 1989 did not need the father's signature. What was the significance of saying that he refused to sign?
The section of email read by Daniel was interesting because there was no admission in it of Larry claiming to be the father.
and to continue..Denny Fridkin. Former drummer for people. I got an email from Denny "Want info? Got some!" I think it was titled. He was very brief in describing how Larry introduced him to his son when he was overseas as I recall. Given that it was in a completely anonymous environment on yahoo... I had no way to know if this was really Denny and he was greatly offended that I asked if I could talk to him on the phone to establish who he was and told me to get info elsewhere! continuing.
So she dated another man who looked just like Larry at the same time, eh? And by the way, someone in this thread said that Norman's family wanted to have a DNA test done and that Jennifer refused. The exact opposite is true. Larry Norman refused to take the DNA test. That speaks volumes friend.
Larry didn't know if he was the father. Certainly Larry had his doubts after Ian, Jennifer's deluded ex-husband, contacted Larry and claimed that he was the father of Daniel. That's why Larry asked twice (!) for a DNA test. He specifically told Jennifer and Daniel to engage in the test, or to stop spreading this rumors. Twice Larry asked for a DNA test, twice these people promised to engage, and twice they broke their promise. Question: was Ian tested?
Hey Charles
Speaking of imperfect, I meant no disrespect and was not cussing in previous post. My phone interprets an apostrophe as letters and symbols that look like cartoon cussing, sigh...Only on UA-cam and I know not why.
@MrWolnol We don't know that Larry fathered this person. The mother/son refuse to have any testing done. What's that about?
Why did they wait until after Larry was dead?
Right and no one is perfect, if he had been perfect he would not have needed a savior and I think we all know that "ALL have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" Even (and maybe especially) those in ministry because the devil loves to trip up a God loving person and try to use it to discredit them!
The problem is not with Christ or the Bible or the principles or even the fact the Bible speaks of the real problem which is that religious and irreligious people alike excuse refusing to live by God’s principles, ethics, morals, or by His love or righteousness or justice but rather live like hypocritical, prideful, cowardly, selfish, unfaithful fools.
Thank you for your courage in standing up to the Christian community and telling your story. From my experience inside the brainwashed movement, I know that they will always hoist up their idols as untouchable saints. They embrace "sinners"--except if those sinners come from their own flock, then it's chop and feast time. Keep standing strong against the haters! The doc is starting to get traction.
Larry Normal was brilliant my question is "what is the point in bringing out all this on a man that has passed on to be with the Lord?" Lets remember him as a brilliant singer song writer who blew open the doors in christian rock. He is the grand daddy of christian rock n roll and if it wasnt for him lets face it christian rock would not be where it is.
True
I wound up talking to another Lady who assured me that this email address was from Denny alright. On Facebook he started coming up as a person I should befriend! I looked at his friend's list and WHO should be on there? Disabbatino! So who knows. Maybe that's why he was offering info in a 'Pssst. Hey BUD! Over here' form. That's exactly how David always was. They're peas in a pod I guess. Maybe he has been bought in some form or another. 1) Bucks to be made 2) They all act fishy!
Larry might be dead, but Daniel isn't . . . nor is the Norman family that he's supposed to be a part of. Is Daniel just supposed to shrug and say "Oh well, that's that" and allow the family to call him a liar? I hate to use the term, but maybe there needs to be some closure here for Daniel. This wasn't dealt with when Larry was alive, but it still needs to be dealt with. JMHO.
The closure was me walking away and understanding what it meant to become a man. The man I always needed in my life. The father of 3 daughters, 2 that look and talk like Normans every day of the week, must have skipped a generation ;)
Bonnie Parker and anyone else who does not understand: When a person writes G_d it is out of the Utmost Respect. Some people believe that His name should not be spoken aloud, other think it should be declared daily. Some think G_d is more respectful and indicates the true and living creator over other gods. So NO, not hypocritical, just in awe of Him.
No David, the Yahoo group where almost anyone posted under their real name. At least so did I. Of course I can post here what Jennifer wrote there and provide the link. I understand your anger. It makes you weak excuse for a documentary look even weaker. And that from a guy who uses almost 50 nicknames on face-book. And David, maybe you can tell the audience here why you block anyone from your pages who disagrees with your point of view. Such childish behavior.
Hmmm, I have to disagree with O'Toole. Yea, we should forgive, but that doesn't mean suppressing the true human story. There's nothing unbiblical about exposing hypocrisy. It hurts the cause of Christ when Christians try to cover it up, even when it's done in the name of "forgiveness". I hope the Robinsons will receive some grace from Norman's family. BTW, I'm a huge fan of Larry's music.
@failedangle - there is no way that anyone can say Daniel is or isn't Larry's son. Wanting something to be or not be true doesn't make it so.
I'm just confused as to why this came out and is still going on after the man is dead. It seems greedy to me.
Daniel and your Mum, I hope u know that although Larry made numerous grave mistakes, God doesnt. You are here for a reason. God himself says that everything evil done in secret will be brought to the limelight which is reassuring for us that all who have hurt us with evil will be punished. But we have to remember this includes us too, so try not to be the same in any way. I hope u can forgive this man for your own personal freedom and come to know that despite this wolf in sheeps clothing the t
PS and who are you calling 'dummy'? Wrong is wrong. It's wrong to entice people in a moment of weakness *if* that is what happened. It's wrong to be weak. ALSO...however the penalty 'moment of weakness' = 'redirection of your whole life' doesn't seem to add up as reasonable to me. Anyway God has seen fit, whether this means Larry was innocent in the matter OR whether it means he was just forgiven and these folks aren't... to make this a continuing hole int heir lives and Larry is free.
I guess I don't understand why Larry's family should be held responsible for any actions he did (or didn't) commit during his lifetime. He's gone, and there is no hope for a father/son reunion in this life. So, outside of wanting money, recognition, or maybe a little revenge, I can't see what you stand to gain. No DNA test result can force the family to have a relationship with you. So, what would you like to see happen after the DNA test, if positive? Sad for Daniel AND Larry's family.
I read the arguements in these comments.When it comes down to it there is a greater plan for all of us.Whether it's true or not,life is imperfect.Either way Larry had many challenges and to me he faced them all with dignity.I do not believe he would have abandoned any child.I think maybe he was not convinced,that's all.Maybe he did make mistakes,so what?Who here hasn't?Your answers are in his songs.
A sad situation. It reminds me of something I have recently come to understand. Our most inspired spiritual heros are quite human and capable of sins we would rather not know about. If the Norman familty wants to "protect Larry's memory" why won't they do the DNA to clear this up? That being said... Perhaps Daniel should just accept that life isn't fair and move on. As in almost every squabble, both parties are wrong. It would be nice if SOMEONE in this fiasco would listen to the Spirit.
Larry Norman fathering a child in no way nulifys his music. We are humans. Period. Let he who has no sin cast the first stone.
The making of this video is to seemingly convey that Larry is not to be idolized. I guess his need to feed his narcissism was greater than his desire to be a father. Being fatherless all I can say is crap happens and it sucks, but you got to learn to be the best man or lady you can be. Adopting the attributes of Christ gives one a solid foundation. Life’s not easy.
I will give you this.I surely dont know what he did or didnt do every moment of his life.I do think it would be a little more "tasteful" to at least prove what your saying before publicly trashing the man.You may be 100% correct.But what your doing here is trashing sombody who has done alot of good for others and still does thru his music and words.I see how old Daniel is and know that this could have been handled a long time ago but wasent for some reason.That cast alot of doubt in my mind
Larry didn't even name names in the blue book. I have a copy right here and all I can find is the statement that Benson came to him about a claim re: him having a child out of wedlock. They asked the woman and she said she'd never said any such thing. The man then admitted he'd never talked to her. Whatever. Can't even tell IF IT IS THE SAME STORY. Man. When a rumor comes to your record company YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to set it straight. Duh.
Nonsense! You've got it completely backwards. If was Larry Norman who refused to take a DNA test!
precisely. I'm about to release my mailbox of things from Larry over the years. There are a few very interesting articles including a letter to Bruce Brown confronting some of his error. There is a real bio under construction. I mean one that has well certified information from sources that don't lie, sign people up for junk mail etc. (Something that someone did to both Larry and I in the late 90's as I recall.)
What this shows once again is that only Jesus is perfect, and that He uses who He chooses. Don't make the mistake of putting gifted and anointed people like Larry on a pedestal. Nobody but Jesus can be Jesus...the way to healing is suffering...this is another human story of misunderstanding and pain, a lot of people go through things like this...God used Larry's music and Larry's public and private ministry powerfully. I hope He takes care of these 2. Don't put your trust in men
Andy Pratt
Anyhow, am I the only person wondering why Daniel neither looks nor acts in the least like his "father"?
Anyone can say whatever they want. But the problem is we have a woman here who had sex out of wedlock...so... she didn't have the things of God at heart at that time..that's for sure. And since she did this why wouldn't she do it with someone else? Sorry I have a hard time working up motivation to get involved. Deal with your own sin. Trust the Lord for raising your own son if others don't feel compelled to help. I'm trying to find the statement in the blue book about this though...
I suggest that Larry's family is guilty of protecting their financial interests. If they were interested in the truth, why not submit to a DNA test to end the whole thing?
I submit that it is because they fear that Daniel's story is true. If that's the case, it is THEY who are acting egregiously and likely means Larry did, too.
I'm a Larry Norman fan. I grew up with his music. But that doesn't preclude him from bad behavior. I was an OJ Simpson fan when I was a kid, too.
Spot on
so let me get this straight, Youre saying it was norman who refused the .... oh cmon . people people people. do you even read your comments after pushing the send?
I wish you guys the best.I have no way of really knowing who did what and when.Listening to Larrys Music and meeting him before several times I just would not have really guessed him doing anything like this.But then again I was never a friend so who knows what he may have done or didnt do.I wish you the best.I grew up with a VERY simalar situation and am now and adult and never wanted ANYTHING from my real father.If a person dont think enough of you to be there for you then forget um.JMO
I completely agree with Monty O'Toole. Christians live by a higher standard. There is little to no money in Christian Music. Larry's talents were ahead of his time. G-d richly blessed and the devil worked in and caused serious trouble. Heb 5:8 says that we are to learn obedience to G-d by what we suffer just like Jesus. Monty is right. The cross is the place where this belongs. I am sure Larry would have been able to do as he promised if the fame and fortune was as big as some think it was. I happen to know that Brian Duncan who has 10 great Albums has to tour over 200 dates a year because of the lack of money that Christian Music provides for his family. This video is a sad thing that happened, but the real enemy is we who give in to satans passions and desires and then act as if we have done nothing wrong or even worse, turn a good marriage (in some cases) into a profitable venture for the courts to rape one of the marriage partners that is earning a living to drive them into poverty. This is a fact stated by the US Government and revealed in a document by Stephen Baskerville in His 85 page article, "Is There a Fatherhood Crisis". That article is much worse that this video and show the real enemy. I challenge any of you to read that!
@GULLYGUS15 He didn't refuse the test. He ASKED for it - 3 times, wasn't it?
From an interview with Larry's brother Charles: "Mike: She was with you and the band Q.Stone in Scandinavia October-November 1988.
Charles: I wasn't in Scandinavia. I went to Helsinki, then I went to Tallinn. I wasn't on that tour. I was in Finland and Estonia, but that's not a tour, that's two dates. Larry's tour was like six weeks long. When I talked to Jennifer on the phone I said, 'When are you claiming you got pregnant?' She said, 'After Finland. Right after the gig in Estonia, Larry and I went to England.' I said, 'Really? You went straight from Helsinki to England?' She said, 'Yes. We were there for several weeks, and that's when I got pregnant.' I said, 'That's really interesting, because that's not what happened with Larry. Larry and I stayed in Helsinki for a week, week and a half - we were very sick. Then we ended up in Sweden, and Larry and I were in Sweden for three or four weeks after that. Larry didn't go to England.' When I pointed that out to her, she said, 'Maybe it was another time.' That's what I keep on getting from her. This open letter she wrote to the media said she was on a six-week tour of Russia - or 10-week tour, something like that - and I pointed out there's no such thing. Larry and I never did a 10-week tour of Russia. Then she changed her story again.
Mike: She was on the dates in Finland and Estonia, and Daniel was born July '89, nine months later, so biologically it is very possible.
Charles: Time-wise, it's possible.
Mike: When did you first hear about Daniel Robinson?
Charles: I don't know, several years ago. I heard a rumour in Holland, years ago. There's a rumour that Larry had a child in Australia, and I said, 'OK, there's lots of rumours about all sorts of wacky stuff.' But I didn't talk to Jennifer until right after Larry died. Larry had demanded a DNA test. When Daniel was like 15 or 16 years old, Larry had been sending him emails and birthday presents, so Larry finally wrote to Daniel and said, 'You're old enough to now to know the truth, and you need to talk to your mom about this. You're not my son, and you can't keep on writing letters to me saying, Dad. We need to get a DNA test.' So Larry repeatedly demanded a DNA test, and that went nowhere. They say that that didn't happen; I have the emails that prove it did happen, and Daniel responded to Larry - so there was correspondence there. There's no way to fake what's called the long-header in an email. Every single email has a unique identifying number. I've got those emails, and if they want to contest that, say that Larry never demanded a DNA test, I can show them the emails."
@knectone Ya, right...
Larry wasn't a rich man, and left with huge medical bills. What are you trying to cash in on?
(and how long will it be before my comment is removed along with all the other ones calling b.s. on you)?
if Larry is not the father why would he sign anything? just accusing the man without out proof is nothing more than accusation.
I see a lot of people talking about this as though it is a "Christian" issue. It's not. It's a human issue. It's a celebrity issue for some of us. It happens to involve a man well known for being a Christian.
For those who suggest it's all about money, I say, "So?" In the first place, the kid has a right to know and not be a bastard. In the second place, if Larry IS his father, he has a right to some of his estate like Larry put in his will at one time.
Larry was a man of God..end of story..his music changed peoples lives
PS I don't think anyone should get a 'free pass'. I think society should have reasonable laws. GIVEN how enticing women can biologically be to men, IF it can be proven that he was in YOUR place by INVITATION when the act occurred, and the man claims he was enticed, courts should hold the woman primarily responsible for the act. IF it was in HIS place and SHE was there by invitation then it should be primarily HIS responsibility. UNLESS it's a rape case obviously!
produce the evidence before you start calling people liars.
Maybe Larry changed tunes after he found the baby was to be named "Daniel" . . . perhaps he felt this was a deliberate reference to the band he neglected and tried to destroy? ;-)
Wow, if this is true, I'd be very disapointed. Not about having a baby out of wedlock (cause we all fall) but that he would abandon his own kid. I hope the truth will come out either way and settle this once and for all. I think they should be allowed the paternity test.
cant help but hear the guitar licks from "he th rock that doesnt roll" every time i see or hear the name Larry Norman. when i think of all the great songs i like to tap my feet to eg
readers digest, 6 oclock news, great american novel, visting etc etc. Would these be missed had they never been written? No course not! Am i glad i got to hear them? you bet. can we just move on.? Or not. whatever works for you at this time. no judgement here.
@skypilgrim1991
This is a really sad post. I was a fan of Larry for many years since the early 70's. Larry has changed through the years, as we all do. But in the early days, he would have been the first to say that the title "Man of God" is not the end of any story.
@larrydavidnormanfan how do you know? please reveal it to us so we can put all this animosity to rest!
continuing. Larry's relatives aren't responsible for Larry's actions even if he was responsible. But the mother in the worst case scenario here..didn't take responsibility to keep out of pre-marital sex. God STILL has a good plan for your life but you won't find it by this avenue. I'm just a 48 year old virgin who's turned away the advances of several who were quite attractive to me and prayed for them instead. They marry the guy they dumped for me. Whatever. In God you develop integrity.
I wouldn't say that. Legal issues frequently have nothing to do with truth or justice.
And I'm kinda guessing that the ones seeking the DNA test have a pretty firm belief that they would be vindicated or they wouldn't be pressing for proof.
She already proved it by saying she had pre-marital sex. That is the part I am sorry for, NOT the aledged story that her son is from Larry Norman. Do you agree?
I am a brand knew fan of Larry Norman. After hearing his one song, that seemed modeled on Bob Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues, I was hooked. The allegations are possible. Being human makes him as fallible as anyone else. He sang about Jesus, but still may have fallen. The thing that I don't understand, is why the family wouldn't, agree to a DNA test. Unless they had strong suspicions that Larry was the father, and they were afraid that the affair, would be bad for business.
There's something about a "shirt" that comes to mind here. And somehting else about letting the "least of us" make a judgement before taking a matter before a court.And another about Love. If this is Larry's kid, there's no harm done to any reputations that really count. Now if it were Jesus' kid...fair dinKum!! No one'll pull the wool over God's eyes. The sooner either side comes clean the faster we can see the miracle of God in all this. Love!! Don't miss the point!!What a chance to show it!!
Jen, what is it you want from this? Stuff happens, and all we can do is move on.
I thought Daniel got it right in the video. Larry was a great musician who had his failings as a human being. I knew that before I read your story. If people contribute to fund a DNA test what would the test change? Daniel is an adult now and Larry is dead. If Larry was a deadbeat dad, it seems too late to fix that.
Whatever your answer, I pray that you and Daniel find peace.
I did.
I'm not saying this is a lie and i'm not saying it's truth, I don't know. But quite honestly, it's really not my business anyway. It should be kept private until there is DNA proof. Sure, as a fan of Larry's i'd hope it's not true because i'd lose some respect for him. But if it's true and Larry never signed the birth certificate and was never a part of Daniel's life, how can it come as a surprise that he didn't include any of you in his will?
Absoluteoy not true! It was LArry who refused to take the DNA test.
This should be easy!! Can anyone say DNA evidence???? Well,....where is it??!!??
Would US law take affect in this matter when the patitioner is from another country? Just asking, cause I'm not familiar with these laws.Well either way I do hope there could be a way to either prove this is Larry's kid, or prove that Larry didn't abandon his kid. Look, knowing the things he's said and stood for, I can't imagine he'd have a problem with people knowing this if it's true. He never said he was better than this sort of thing and never judged it. But still,it needs to be set straight
@SugarRose25 How do you know this?
Are you somehow privy to testing that was done of which the rest of the world is unaware?
As a follower of Jesus, it is sad to watch people lie in a public forum like this. It's even sadder to see how gullible folks can be, buying into this woman's scam.
Damn right it was Norman who refused the test, and everyone who knows both parties (like Randy Stonehill) will tell you so. Now his dufus brother and other family members are displaying his own propensity for telling lies.
@failedangle: don't spent your words on this David guy. He only made two lousy documentaries, which only contains lies, nothing else. Did you see anyone in his sad excuse for a documentary who was saved because of Larry's ministry (like Andy wrote above)? No, like they would be so hard to find. David, you should be ashamed, even more then that! Next time, take on someone who's still alive! Ough! That could cause a problem, because this guy would expose your lies.
Unstable maybe....that doesn't make him a phony Christian. I'm not defending him if this is true. But let him who is without sin cast the first stone....
@TheOhweht You believe them? Based on what, pray tell?
