Somebody on another forum posted about a RasTafarI group that he was forming. He was going on like he is a ruler, one of the requirements of joining his group was to believe that he is a shepard. He was also saying that Haile Selassie I is not Jah.
I and some other people posted reasoning concerning what he was saying and about his website. He then posted this:
-----------------------------------

RasAlBosc,
Do you remember when Christ said,
Matt.7
[6] Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Christ was referring to the word when he spoke of pearls.
And Sight the word:
John.1
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with Jah, and the Word is Jah.
Haile Selassie I is Jah, RasTafarI is I and I only Leader. The Word created everything that exists. Haile Selassie I isn't a part of Jah, Haile Selassie I is the whole embodiment of Jah, Haile Selassie I is God. The pearls of your dream are also like the drops of the ocean I spoke about. There is no separation, all the pearls are One, all the pearls are RasTafarI, Haile Selassie I.
So don't seek to be a ruler bredren, and never bring it into your mind to dominate others. Seek to please Jah RasTafarI, Haile Selassie I. Do everything you do for Jah RasTafarI, live by the guidance and direction of Jah. If you trod for Jah, you will be rewarded by Jah, but if you trod for men, you will be rewarded by men. And history has shown us how men reward their brothers and sisters, with wickedness.
But don't trod for the reward, because by trodding for the reward, you are no longer trodding for Jah. And the reward will never come to those that don't trod for Jah.
Trod for Jah so that you can walk in the image that Jah created Man. As you learn also teach to your bredren and sistren, don't seek to rule them, that is not the way of Jah. Jah never tried to rule anybody, we can do what we want, wickedness or righteousness. Jah is always there to show us what is right, but it is our choice to listen or not. Righteousness is the only choice that will bring a Man to be One with Jah. And to trod without Jah will bring destruction, as Haile Selassie I teach I and I:
However wise or however mighty a person may be, he is like a ship without a rudder if he is without God. A rudderless ship is at the mercy of the waves and the wind, drifts wherever they take it and if there arises a whirlwind it is smashed against the rocks and becomes as if it has never existed. It is our firm belief that a soul without Christ is bound to meet with no better fate.
--Haile Selassie I
So keep the Word and Live the Word. The Word of Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I that you saw as a pearl.
If you do your works for Jah RasTafarI, then RasTafarI will guide your way and you will see the purpose that Jah has given to you. And if in your trod Jah sends ones and ones to you to teach, be a leader, not a ruler, as Haile Selassie I say:
Leadership does not mean domination. The world is always well supplied with people who wish to rule and dominate others.
The true leader is a different sort; he seeks effective activity which has a truly beneficient purpose. He inspires others to follow in his wake, and holding aloft the torch of wisdom, leads the way for society to realize its genuinely great aspirations.
The art of leadership is in the ability to make people want to work for you, while they are really under no obligation to do so. Leaders are people, who raise the standards by which they judge themselves and by which they are willing to be judged. The goal chosen, the objective selected, the requirements imposed, are not mainly for their followers alone.
They develop with consumate energy and devotion, their own skill and knowledge in order to reach the standard they themselves have set.
This whole-hearted acceptance of the demands imposed by even higher standards is the basis of all human progress. A love of higher quality, we must remember, is essential in a leader.
The true leader is one who realizes by faith that he is an instrument in the hands of God, and dedicates himself to be a guide and inspirer of the nobler sentiments and aspirations of the people.
He who would be a leader must pay the price in self-discipline and moral restraints. This details the correction and improvement of his personal character, the checking of passions and desires and an exemplary control of one's bodily needs and desires.
To be first in place, one must be first in merit as well.
He who has not learned to render prompt and willing service to others will find it difficult to win and keep the goodwill and cooperation of his subordinates.
A leader will kindle interest, teach, aid, correct and inspire. Those whom he leads will cooperate with him in maintaining discipline for the good of the group. He will instruct his followers in the goals towards which to strive, and create in them a sense of mutual effort for attaining the goal.
