Caucasians becoming rastafari

Time Zone: EST (New York, Toronto)

"Shiva made a point about there being various other spiritually similar practices to Rastafari, outside of the African perspective" Yes but they do not acknowledge Selassie as Christ. I do and for this reason i say Ras Tafari

Yes, you are Rastafari because of what you have interpreted from The Bible. Belief

"For my part, I glory in the Bible." - Testimony of the conquering Lion of the Tribe Of Judah: H.I.M Haile Sellassie I. Knowledge

and if you were to find his Majesty ate meat? The Bible is the same analogy. But that has little to do with my og statement, I wasn't putting fire on the bible. Just making an observation

What of it? The prestige of Jah can handle such things. It was shown to I that the best route for I is a lifetime with no more meat. By the way, I am not reasoning for acceptance or whatever. People see I as a contradiction and I am used to being the out-caste. I am reasoning to try to gain more knowledge. I appreciate all that has been shared with I.. even if you think I am a falsity.

Shown to you by a cultural concept of Ital. Are you a vegetarian or are you Ital?

I am new. I have spent 20 of I 24 years in babylon mind set. Jah is beginning to break I free. I have studied Hare Krishna and adopted a vegetarian diet some years ago. I eat as organically as possible but is tough being so isolated from others with the same view point.

Hare Krishna? Then it sounds like you are seeking a form of spirituality. Rastafari is this, and also a livity, and also a political statement, and also a cultural identity. You cant separate one part from a next. So when ones talk about Bible and returned Christ and BELIEF that is all fine, but what about the other facets of Rastafari? Outside of the belief.

Messenger: Hemphill Sent: 2/10/2015 9:06:51 PM

I have been raised on a small farm in the middle of Kansas. I have only had face-to-face time with one person who is Ras. I dont know many of the cultural happenings. As far as a political statement, I deeply oppose the happenings of this evil New World Order, although it is not new. I deeply oppose the continued attack and attempted degradation of black people specifically. As far as Livity, I am growing. It is recognized that I need to learn and better the I but I have very limited interaction with people who know Ras Tafari.
