Albinos live in fear (Africa)

These photos are the tip of the ice berg of such a horrific society that we really do live in. This heading captures the truth about living today in Africa. I had the paper and just couldn't bring myself to read the entire news piece for at least 1 week and then it made me so really ill that I was astounded..at how I felt. And then to make matters worse I asked my friend Sr. Seru [her son served his mission in Gana] and she said that the cult of black magic is even worse than what had been reported. This practice is almost the worse but sadly there is more. Albinos are called "the living ghosts" by locals of Africa. They have milky white skin, blue eyes, and red or blond hair. Sounds like some of my own children and many grandchildren. Their only place of saftey is an island in the vast area of Lake Victoria on the island of Ulkerewe. Children have been abandoned there for many, many years and have been fed by and cared for by these good people. They do not believe the "satanic campain" . The entire contient of Africa is involved in black magic and as for that ..so is our world, too. People will do anything to gain the advantage over anyone or thing. Power and gain is the promise. The only difference here is people want power, gain [money], and to bebeautiful forever. Sounds like a TV ad or new self help book! The albinos are killed in their beds or out in the street captured and chopped up and sold. Even their heads are cut off and sold by the pound! Children are lured out to watch films about Jesus or for candy or treats, followed home and killed and chopped up. Adults are followed and shot dead. One mother even bathed her tiny infant, dressed her in a black dress and then the entire family left their family hut. I have not known any albinos in my childhood


but their health problems are large. Their eyes suffer terribly
and most die from skin cancers. And most die before the age of 30. In the general population the rate of albinism is 1 in 20,000. but in Africa the rate is 1 in 5,000. This island has the largest population in the world. The only thing that has saved them is that the island is very remote. This article no doubt will bring terrible changes for the islanders no doubt. I shutter to think at the possibilies. Again the secret societies, again and again. These are what the bodies ae used for. Fishermans nets - hair is woven into the nets and will guarantee you a bigger catch. Gold miners [ruby and diamond, too] -charms- [made of potions and bones] protect them and increase their "finds!" Some bury the albino bones as they dig to protect them from caveins .

The victims have their blood drained off also. Some even drink it on the spot. All are bringing the flesh and bones to local witch doctors. [[ I know that this is a horrid subject but we must never forget that this is the earth that did kill the Savior and all involved knew he was innocent.] These poor souls are afraid to sleep, go to work, go to school and above all afraid to be counted, for fear that a list will be drawn up with their names and addresses on it. What is to counter this plague. All of the "Temples" that have been built in Africa. We have friends who serve in Nigeria and they sing the praises of the saints and how their children love to come and do work for the dead!!! You know when I was a teen I thought that all in the world would one day join the "Chruch" and all would live in love and peace [old coke ad]. Well I was wrong. All will not join and they must be allowed to have their... run of the earth with their leader Satan... They all will be known by their own works. We [ Byron and myself] have found the "truer" meaning if the phrase "a living prophet". Each time the prophet allows the font here to be used for a baptism is a teaching moment. The TRUE AND LIVING PROPHET teachs us the kindnesses of the Lord God and of his tender mercies. A mercy is changing the letter of the law on the font --into the spirit of the Law of the Lord. We have seen our new president Wooley keep the laws of the temple handbook and also have seen him bend those same laws. When we have islanders come from islands so backward that there is no furniture -nothing to sit on, sleep on, or eat on, but a woven mat ... they are all treated like kings and queens. And by treating them as such they become that very person right under our watchful eyes. And then as they are growing and learning, they are sealed to their families, with a respect that they have never seen or felt before and with simple words, that they do understand, God begins finishing the child in to a king and queen. Next they , [king and queeen] having learned the lessons of the temple , they now begin help others around them. They have watched our roles as workers and now begin to serve others. ..... There is a cycle to our church life. ... It take us from seedlings to olive trees. ... To king .. from child .. and queen ... to angel ...all in the blink of a lifetime. This .. is our circle of life, as "children of Heavenly Parents."
