But one place where police won't have to look for Ganzie is at the Tabernacle Ministries in Gracie Rock. That is the spiritual headquarters for the Bobo Shanti Movement in Belize and according to leaders there, Louie Ganzie is no Bobo. Prophet Adwa Medhane-Alen and Priest Seraphim I Vacabriel say that Ganzie isn't a Bobo. They say he is a wannabe and they denounce him.
Prophet Adwa Medhane-Alen,
"Mr. Ganzie was not a part of our community. He is not a member of the Tabernacle. In the people's eye it seems as if he was practicing Bobo Shanti. We don't want to associate ourselves with Mr. Ganzie. We have no affiliation with Mr. Ganzie at all. We might appear in partially the same image but we are the same people."
Keith Swift,
What makes you an authority on Bobo Shanti? How can you say that Mr. Ganzie is not a Bobo?
Prophet Adwa Medhane-Alen,
"First of all I can say that because he would not behave in this manner. Bobo Shantis don't behave in this manner. There is a strict order of the Bobo Shantis. We represent a biblical principle, a biblical order. We cannot let Mr. Ganzie infect our community in no manner, in no way, you understand. The Tabernacle is there physically standing. We stand on Tabernacle grounds and there is no way in this time or the other that we would allow a person with criminal and aggravated and violent intent to present themselves on our Tabernacle grounds."
Priest Seraphim I Vacabriel,
"There is one true order that all Bobo Shantis are supposed to be following. It is the order of Emmanuel, you understand. It is international and we represent love and life and truth and honesty and righteousness."
Keith Swift,
The perception is that you are disclaiming Mr. Ganzie because he did something wrong.
Priest Seraphim I Vacabriel,
"Yes because we don't practice abusement, we don't want to abuse our women because they are the ones that brought is into this world."
Keith Swift,
Why did you disclaim him when he was, again, on TV claiming to be a Bob Shanti?
Priest Seraphim I Vacabriel,
"Like the brother said, most of the time we are not in the city."
Anyone with information on Ganzie's whereabouts can call Crime Stoppers at 0-800-922-TIPS. Police searched the Tabernacle in Gracie Rock on Friday night but they didn't any evidence that Louie Ganzie was there. The leaders say that if Louie Ganzie shows up at their gate - they would turn him away.
