I can see how Prince Hotep and Rook Fari interpreted Yehyah statement the way they did, but I didn't interpret it that way. When I read it the first time, I interpreted it the way that Yehyah said he meant it. And as Yehyah clarified, it was not his intention to say what the I them misinterpreted.

He said,
---------------------
The reason is, that film was not produced by Rastafarian but only features Interviews and participation of certain Rastafari individuals, mainly from Bobo Congress. That's why the narrator said certain things about Rasta which are not true, like the claim RAS TAFARI means Head Creator.
---------------------

The first sentence is showing that the reason their were errors is that it was not a RasTafarI that produced it, and that the only thing that it had that truly related to RasTafarI is the interviews with some RasTafarI, mainly the Bobo. Then the second sentence is confirming that because it was not produced by a RasTafarI, then the narrator said certain things that are not true.

There is no need to go up in arms over what Yehyah said, he just unintentionally structured his sentences in a way that has lead to misinterpretation.

greetings

thinking that perhaps the film was ineptly titled.
seems like the rent-a-dread vibe was secondary...presenting the phenomenon as the pestulence it is to the livity, seen.
the title, in InI opinion, is misleading, as most that view the film will see the main body of the ras presented as being renta....because that is what they want to see. InI feel a definable "line" should have been made in the film as to who were the rentas and who were not. the idren in the white kerchief for example, is not a renta, but could be made to seem so in a ones mind if one did not know.
the I's see InI?
come let InI reason...

Does a manīs past words and works count for nothing?

I am surprised at the i them who accuse Bro Anbesa of such underhanded dealings.
I am surprised at the i i idren Hotep. The i asked for clearance and the brethren gave it to you and you accepted rightly. So why you get riled up again when someone else comes in with the same misinterpretation.
I am surprised at the i Rook. The i know i already, if i really thought that one was disrespecting Bobo in anyway, i would be right beside the i burning him/her out
Is it really that hard to see what Anbesa was sayin??
Rook, the i say, no matter how you read it says the same thing.
I agree
But what it says to you, is not what it says to i

"THE REASON IS, THAT FILM WAS NOT PRODUCED BY RASTAFARIAN but only features Interviews and participation of certain Rastafari individuals, mainly from Bobo Congress. THAT'S WHY the narrator said certain things about Rasta which are not true, "

Perhaps i should rearrange the words so you can see what i see

"Except for the participation of certain Rastafari,mainly from the Congress,the film was not produced by Rastafari."

As ini Father has taught ini, search out a matter properly first before going off on someone.

I tell the i them, i really dislike coming in between people but to i, this is nothing but satanīs work, only satan would put idren who i know to be humble servants of JAH at odds against eachother, over what? over nothing

HOLY SELASSIE I JAH RASTAFARI

Ises My Lord

I give thanks My Lord Ark I and KebreAb for taking time and pointing that out. If I really caused so much confusion, I am deeply sorry, as all can imagine who know me from posting here. With all due respect, I am NOT an english native speaker, BUT I do believe that I express myself far more clearly than americans who are posting here typing only capital letters without even complete sentences.

As KebreAb pointed out, I wrote that statement to explain and answer a question of one brethren, If I knew that my words were turned around like that and lead so far away from the topic (which I tried to show), I would have kept my time.

Maybe at least now, you think it's possible you can get back and concentrate at the original topic? And bevor it get's misinterpreted again, I did not show you that movie because I think it's a good documentation on RASTAFARI, nor do I agree on how RASTAFARI is presented in the film. It is a film made by the Anti Slavery Society, showing modern forms of (mental) slavery. So maybe we could get back to that, and don't waste so much time on misinterpreting things.

blessed love lords and empresses

Ras Kebre at first I didn't trust the knowledge of English after his reply to my question, as I said I humbled iself and Upologised, yes I asked for clearance from the Man, mind that I didn't start fyah burnin and cussin I just asked for clearance. And what did he say to I

"Whoy my friend, read it, take time to think about it ... THEN answer."

"Why you quote only half a sentence? You also only READ half the sentence?"
But since I was the one who was wrong I didn't say anything about it, but now...

He comes with this arrogance. And now again he comes with his:

"BUT I do believe that I express myself far more clearly than americans who are posting here typing only capital letters without even complete sentences."

Is one afraid to speak straight to the point what one is saying and name the person that one is attacking?

whether he meant to dis Bobo or not I don't care anymore, because he is not the Man whose opinion I should Raspeckt (though I still think as Rook said, that in his heart he thinks Bobo are just mis interpreters, mis educators and mis lead people etc.) since one thinks he is better than I and Rook, probably because we defend Bobo Idren showed in the movie.

Bro Dominiq Yehyah Anbesa the I is coming of slick and smart as a serpent...
