^^Hmmm

But im saying, what is the intent of the person in the picture and behind the camera of those scenarios you just mentioned?

To earn a profit from the craving-like attitude of certain men who may objectify women? In other words wickedness.

On the other hand, the love and appreciation of a wombmans anatomy in full glory is only natural. But there has to be a level of humility and respect.

Yes I JAH Child.

I view is that everything unnatural can,should and will be wiped away from creation.And as Osho explains,that pornography was born out of man being and living in an unnatural state.Thus it is also certainly unnatural to stare into a screen at sexual masturbation(not love making...) of people who do it for money and have to pretend they enjoy...NUFF SAID

Give thanks Iyahs. Full agreement w the I Ras Nate, except wondering - if the I was to stare into a screen watching two people "make love", maybe the video had been intended for only their personal viewing but had mistakenly slipped into the media, is the I still viewing something acceptable, given that the two people really are in love?
Iwombman would say no, this is still not acceptable viewing material. For Iwombman it is not beneficial in any way, and only increases the sickness already perpetuated by bablyon to watch the two people having sex, even if the sex is hola.
Another similar situation, Iwombman have seen a couple on the beach making love. It is a nude beach, many people go there nude, so the two people took that liberty a step further. Iwombman glanced at the Ones and thought, "well, I could never do that in public, but okay, enjoy that you guys!" and then looked away and went on with I Iditation. Iwombman did not think it was wrong, the love making, and also did not find it offensive that the Ones chose to do that publically. But Iwombman did not Itinue to watch the I's and think to Iself about sex, having sex, etc. I just accepted the fact and went forward to other thoughts.

Yes I.

What goes on between two people who are in love should stay between them.It is their own private business,and should not be sneaked on.

The main reason why this babylonian thing is on the midir is because of One thing: genzeb, money. The baldheads come with this thing to make humans buy these dvd's or download video's in the hope they get addicted or attracted to it. People can get addicted to it easily because they are attracted to humans but they do not have to deal with real humans. They only have to watch it and see it. So what Iman really want to say is that they come with this thing not for pleasure, love or reproduction or whatIver but just for the money to earn a financial "living". Ras TafarI People should certainly abstain from such a wicked heathen thing for this is not for I and I. His Majesty is burning babywrong truly.

People just need to be honest with themself. Sometimes men will try to convince themself that they are just appreciating the beauty of a naked woman in a picture or scantily clothed woman in public and are not being lustful. But this is often just an internal (and sometimes eventually subconscious) excuse to allow themselves to continue in their lustfulness. Many women probably can't relate to this(with some exceptions), that is why I specifically mention men.

Sis you seem to be raising some interesting points, though am not sure where exactly you stand, still. You question what is ok for Ras to hang on his (/her) wall. Some would say any imagery is idolatry. There are some iconic images of women but where you draw the line between celebrating the form and objectifying the woman isnt clear to everyone and therein lies the problems. The image you posted of a pregnant woman is unmistakably beautiful, as pregnant women tend to be, but it is also unmistakably intimate - would the child want his mother to share her form worldwide, even if it is basically anonymous? And the anonymity makes it more objectifiable; where is the woman's face, hair?

Porn has no spiritual purpose so no question there. Sexuality can overlap with spirituality and beauty also, but women that are liberal-minded sometimes take it too far and just come full circle and become expolitable. Self-defeating feminism.

Theres a lot to say on this topic and as its posted by a woman I felt to respond, sometimes men who are very righteous let themselves fall down when it comes to their perspective of women, thats one for both men and women to meditate on for sure.


Bless. Give thanks.

I saw this woman earlier on the internet. If the I's look up the link Ras Garveys Africa provided the I's will see that she answers yes to the question if she is a RasTafarI saet (woman). I never knew or thought she claimed that she is a RasTafarI saet formerly but now Iman know, give Ise for the link Garveys Africa.

Here is a picture of the woman with a headscarf with Qey, Werqama, Arenguade and the name "ETHIOPIA" on It.
