Brother BABYLONBURN, yo question is not answered. De idrens'response may be satisfactory to de I but dem are not practicaly true when dem seh there are no sects in rasta. Ones n ones, be honest to de idren, we all know dat there is diversity within de rasta community in de world.
Ones may say rasta is one but within dis one rasta there are many diferent sects amongst which include de Nyahbinghi, Boboshanti, twelve tribes n others. De diversity of point of views from different people reasoning in dis forum is an evidence to de presence of sects within rasta people. De I may have got or is still goin to get two different contracdictin explaination on something from two different rastas. (Example: A Nyahbighi idren will tell u dat u affe uncover your head if male during ises while a Bobo idren will tell u dat yu affe keep yo head coverd during ises).
So to b honest with u brother rasta does have sects:
ther is a sect of rasta dat are italists,
there is another sects of rasta who are vegetarians,
there is a sect of rasta who nyam fish.
n there is a sect of rasta who generaly nyam flesh.
There differences on many issues.
Now to answer yo unanswered question (how does the I know which sect hebelongs to ?):
De I haffe try n meet many diferent rasta n attend gatherings from different sects if possible to try n lern de different aproach to livity by those sects. Then yu iditate n reason with yo inner I about de different explainations yo got to find out which is most suitable or upful to yu. Try not to be biased (dat is de iwa dat yu need to seek guidance from de most High on choosin de most upful livity).
Basicaly after lerning about de different rasta ways then yu will know which one is most upful to yu. De one dat feels most upful to yu is where yu belong.
Blessed Love
