  5. During 1994, in my first-ever sit-down discussion on theocratic issues with one of Jehovah's Witnesses (JW), Albert Schroeder, of the Watchtower Society Governing Body, put me to school with the Christian Gospel of Saint John, chapter 6, verse 44, to wit: "... No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day....' (kjv) Albert Schroeder said to me: "...go home and ...study this verse..." And so,... the most unlikely person - me - is now a Disciple of Christ, a Bible student, one of Jehovah's Witnesses in vindication of the Sovereign Jehovah God. Albert Schroeder had tagged along with JW Elders from Liberia who were before my United Nations/New York committee which was assessing effects of the then ongoing Liberia civil conflict on Liberia's religious groups. At the end of the review with the Liberia JW delegation, Albert Schroeder introduced himself to me. Of course, I did not then know who he was, but I did notice that the Liberia JW group was according him deference, so I inquired of him his role with the Watchtower Society. Still not knowing exactly what the Watchtower Society Governing Body did, I presumed he was some sort of "head honcho". Considering that I was of the Catholic Church's Seraphic Order, a Worthy Sir of the Holy See, as well as an active participant in many other religious groups because of my political and diplomatic connections, I asked Albert Schroeder if I could acquire honorary membership in the Watchtower Society. His reply was, "...do you have a Bible?... go home and study the sixth book and forty-fourth verse of the Gospel of John, study this verse ...". I did so; and, at the following United Nations review meeting three months later, Albert Schroeder and I began an exchange of notes which guided my work in establishing the modalities of the peace process in Liberia. Note that between 1994 and 1998, I did not attend a Kingdom Hall, associate with a JW Congregation, or begin a formal study of the Holy Scriptures, until two JW sisters came knocking on my door while out in field service distributing invitations to the Memorial of 1998 to be held on 14 Nisan (10 April 1998, ironically the day before my birthday of 11 April). Interestingly, these two JW sisters appeared at my door exactly as I was in the midst of praying to Jehovah God, "...please show me women who love you...". My prayer was in reaction to the immense and stiff opposition of very close female relatives to my quest of seeking a true association with the love of the Sovereign Jehovah God. I have steadily progressed in my theocratic dedication and am now both a Pioneer and Ministerial Servant in the Watchtower Society. BTW,... I am of the persuasion that Albert Schroeder - more than anyone else - tremendously impacted the solid placement of instruments of peace in the cessation of civil conflict throughout Liberia.

Though it appears bioluminescent, the glow it gives off is from light diffracting off of its cilia, which are what helps it move through the water. View the full article

  18. I remember from March 1963, at the beginning of the elementary school year at Gbatala, Bong, Liberia, that on the first day of classes many of my schoolmates from the previous year were not in attendance. We were told that they and their parents were among Jehovah's Witnesses (JW) who had been arrested at the City of Gbarnga, Bong, Liberia during the previous week while gathered for their JW Convention. We learned that the Jehovah's Witnesses - both Liberian and foreign members - men, women and children - were being beaten while under Liberia Frontier Force (LFF) detention because of refusal to sing the "All Hail, Liberia Hail" national anthem or pledge allegiance to the Lone Star Liberia flag. I remember that when my Jehovah's Witnesses school mates eventually returned to Feju Elementary School at Gbatala, for the remainder of the school year at beginning of each school day, as we gathered at the school's courtyard, we were separated into Jehovah's Witnesses on one side and non-Jehovah's Witnesses on the other side. While most of us were singing the national anthem or pledging allegiance to the flag, the Jehovah's Witnesses students were "...pumping tire..." (deep knee bends while holding one's earlobes), or being rattan-whipped and heckled by the LFF soldiers who were wearing tasseled red fez caps. Concurrently, adult Jehovah's Witnesses were expelled from civil service jobs, dozens were held and tortured at Belleh Yellah maximum security prison, a scheme of intense security surveillance was imposed on members of the Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witnesses), and after 1963 there ensued high level negotiations which involved the worldwide Governing Body of the Watchtower Society, as well as United States and Great Britain diplomats, in talks with the Tubman Administration. It should be noted that the persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses in Liberia was not only done to Liberia-citizen Jehovah's Witnesses, but also to many foreign-nations-resident Jehovah's Witnesses. Notably, Milton Henschel (member of the Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide Governing Body), had his scalp split open by a soldier's gun butt at Gbarnga, Liberia during his visit to the Jehovah's Witnesses Convention convening there during March 1963. Such were the times... Interestingly, many years later when I was elected to the Liberia House of Representatives, Speaker Richard Henries appointed me to chair the House Standing Committee on Culture. Considering that it had been the usual practice since the founding of the Republic that all "philanthropic" organizations - which includes religious groups/institutions - submit an annual report to the Government of Liberia, my Standing Committee on Culture was tasked by Speaker Henries to receive annual reports from all religious groups/institutions, including Jehovah's Witnesses as well as all foreign religious missionary associations. Note also that, as both a General Secretary of the ruling/majority True Whig Party (TWP) and House Chair for Culture, it was my privilege to determine whether a religious missionary's request for immigration approvals would be granted. Remarkably, and perhaps ironically, President WVS Tubman's Vice President, William Tolbert, was President of the worldwide Baptist World Alliance from 1965 to 1971 during the height of the Government of Liberia's persecution of the Jehovah's Witnesses during the years following 1963. Imagine - the Liberian society/nation was, simultaneously, enmeshed both in religious dignity and religious intolerance. NOW,.... I am one of Jehovah's Witnesses, a Pioneer and Ministerial Servant.
