this i kinda off the subject or maybe not, but in response to the part when u talk bout rasta garments...
it doesn't matter how much colors(which is such a fashion now), turban, robe,tams, patches, etc. ones and ones wear if ur heart and hands are not clean then the colors become colorless.
ones and ones think flashing the colors makes them rasta or listening to reggae music, but that doesn't bring u to salvation if ur heart and hands are not clean.
In regards to " concern when i meet others (rasta or no rasta) is how they treat others and what they wear or how they do their hair or how they decorate their body is of no importance."
Well, rastas and non-rastas obviously have different values, but doesn't mean I n I don't love each other same way. I think it is different for a rasta to say something to a rasta, because a non rasta does not have the same values as a rasta. What is comes down to is I-spect for others way of life.
Well it may not be important how ones dress, but to many rasta how u dress is important, which is taken from the bible. I know not all see this, but some mansions do or rastas. For example, I personally feel that and empress should dress non-revealing. If I see an empress who wears jeans and I don't, that I don't have the right to say she is not a rasta (for all u know she could be more righteous then I). I can reason with her with love, but if she feels she wants to wear jeans then she gonna wear jeans. But, some places u cannot enter if ur not dressed royal. When I say royal I mean u dress covered up. It goes to belief, but I n I must show each other love same way.
U cannot go to a sabbath service with earrings and a miniskirt. So, it is important to different ppl., but doesn't mean u have to burn the person who doesn't believe wat u believe. I don't see how it is vanity.
As I mentioned, some think dressing royal makes them rastafari, but it doesn't if u act like a heathen. But I can tellu this, a rasta does not serve two masters, so if u love jah and hate ur neighbor ur a lier and u love 2 masters. So, I n I must love each other.
Give thanx for the reasonment.
