Selamita to ALL,
OPEN REBUKE IS BETTER THAN SECRET LOVE!!!
Thank you Sistah Cynthia! It would of have been more RASTA to just learn to tell ones and one DIRECT! Open Correction is better, ini nah bitter!ROMANS 12:21 - BE NOT OVERCOME WITH EVIL, HOWEVER OVERCOME EVIL WITH GOOD!
MELKAM FASIKA - HAPPY PASSOVER!!! TO RECONCILE THE WORLD - ALL GENTILES - NATIONS black, white, yellow, red etc. etc. as it says in ROMANS 11:15, 30! WE ETHIOPIANS were truly cast away because many (not all) denied H.I.M. and some became UNGRATEFUL for His Good works! LIFE FROM THE DEAD - ETHIOPIA ARISE!!! ROMANS 11:24 Ras Tafari is Ethiopia's own root! All the harsh words are good for the soul that KNOWS THE TRUTH- it makes it stronger! No one ever said that because I am Ethiopian or this or that means anything special. Yet you would say IADONIS is not from there and DENY I because I AM? INI was seeking to be a sister. To the I and to all. I ever did u a wrong? Some people cyant ask another that without worrying about the answer! I never claimed I was better because I am Ethiopian, yet what I and other ETHIOPIANS know FIRST HAND about RAS TEFFERI and ETHIOPIA is more than you'll find in books written by foreigners. And LOOK, we also ACKNOWLEDGE H.I.M. DIVINITY - WE ARE FULFILLING ROMANS CHAPTER 11. ISRAEL = ETHIOPIA. Why do u think H.I.M. came to ETHIOPIA to begin with?? IT WAS TO FULFILL and the ETHIOPIANS were/will ACCEPT H.I.M. Yes, like Israel they went astray and others were grafted in. Yet why boast against the root or the truth. In H.I.M. gates HE allowed Foreigners who said they came to help eat what they liked while JANHOI didn't. Thats what you call HOSPITALITY - ROMANS 12:13! So yes u were a guest as others were. INI was honoured and regret that you may not have felt so also.
You see prophecy isn't FULFILLED TILL ETHIOPIA COMES HOME TO THE TRUTH OF RAS TAFARI! And it is happening. ROMANS CHAPTER 11 all explains what is going on here. Ethiopia rejected in part, and RASTAFARI people accepted in part. Yet, it is not full. NOW SOME ETHIOPIANS were in Dis-belief yet there were others since 1930 and before who HAILED H.I.M. THE FIRST HAILE SELLASSIE as GOD and KING. When Ethiopians haven't helped and reached out to my Rastafari people, RASTA were/are critical. As far as the clothes, yes we all have to grow. I have. As far as the hair - it is real! No, actually I prefer other artists like GIGI or CHACHI (they are Rasta-minded Ethiopian Singer who sing reggae as well), yet Erykah is cool and a very good singer. Maybe we'll do some music in the future. As far as the parakeet? Yes ;-) that made INI laugh cos she did want to repeat instead of go within, YET JAH BLESS HER SOUL. The Metaphysical sistren you mentioned is INI good sistren Fiyah, thats Empressfiyah the creator/inspiration of the Empress Menen School Program in the BX, NYC (I raspect i sisters, if they wanna call themselves an Empress i overs, its a feelin a vibe/in the west there is no Empress - yet there is an order already established for INI - we Ethiopian are like the prodigal children ROMANS 11:25 - we know and some have accepted the responsibility). Who are the Gentiles? The nations - the many that accept Ras Tafari as THE TRUE & LIVING EVERLOVING!!! Are we following the scriptures or making up things in Rasta name? This we must ask ourselves because the time is serious - Great Tribulation (DANIEL 12:1 since Sept 11, 2001 - 3 1/2 years - 42 months! Look at the middle east, look at Daniel - THE ETHIOPIANS ARE AT HIS STEPS - DANIEL 11:43 - PLEASE READ & OVERSTAND!!!
I put aside those babylon ways still - i have repented yet,when i was first called and give my gifts it was when i was who i was - ROMANS 11:29. Was it easier for you? I pray it was/will be. Or, Are some of you still wrestling with Babylon in silence and suffering??! Can we talk direct!
Now that some of us Ethiopians are coming forth from the same BABYLON CAPTIVITY there are some who may have their doubts. Yet, this is good because you should TEST EVERY SPIRIT TO SEE WHETHER IT IS OF YAH OR NOT!!! This is true. LISTEN TO THE I-RIT CYNTHIA. I don't blame ya. Thats just real! I may have had vibes about you also from EGZI'ABHER - YAH or Jah if you please. Does that mean you are a bad person? No I don't thinks so. If I came to your gates what would ii find?? Has everyone that visited you left with the same vibe? So whose fault is that...? INI MUST TRUST THE TRUTH THAT WE KNOW!!! Some DRESS the PART but LACK the HEART!!! Ya know "Jah" give HIM vibes to whom HE please. So yes, I have come a long way in Rastafari. I give thanks. And I say MISGANA TO IADON and really think that many are mis-lead in their accusations... yet THE TRUTH WILL PROVE THE INNOCENCE. I have said all that INI have to on those former reasoning about http://geocities.com/rastasan/ He was never insulting Rasta Sisters, he was simply telling the same Rasta brothers of his (true, some may be on different levels of consciousness) and others who check him to stop going after the NON-RASTA or NON-ETHIOPIAN woman. And thats not being racist or saying anyone is inferior. He was saying to them "If you can't find a good RASTAWOMAN and want to reason with a sister from AFREEKA check this site!" Didn't he say to them DON'T PLAY GAMES! Keep ur responsibility!?? Maybe some didn't or cyant read that because of all the vibes already. Nevertheless, thanks for being CRITICAL cos in TRUE RASTA BROTHERS and SISTERS must be! Yet, we all know that there are some in this group who have a deeper, negative vibe thats not Rastafari. Its one thing to make a point yet to get to personally insult... well, ini nah perish cos of dat! MISGANA to all and MISGANA for all that was said! INI aren't hostile - shocked! Yet not hostile and don't wish anything however OVERSTANDING!
I trodded Babylon like every other sister in here. How many of some of u same sisters here haven't confided in I or in Iadonis some of the problem that you were having in Rastafari and also living in Babylon?? All yall have no faults?? If I and I Ethiopian Rastafari Sisters say that THERE IS ONLY ONE EMPRESS in FIRST PRINCIPLE and thats EMPRESS MENEN in RAS TAFARI! Please respect that! Is that so difficult to comprehend?! If I say that yes, I have rising from much that I had to put aside JUST LIKE ALL YA!!! Yet, I am also humbly coming to all who will LISTEN and not have DOUBTFULL SPIRITS that there IS AN ETHIOPIAN ORDER OF RAS TAFARI! Just because ones may have smoke cigarettes?? You would crucify the very Christos wouldn't you?? He was around PROSTITUTES and POLITICIANS (some who smoke) and HE said "FOLLOW HIM!" What I do you can do greater than I. Isn't that the words of IESUS CHRISTOS who H.I.M. said we should KNOW??!!!
Perhaps you are right Sister Cynthia. I will take your words and humble with them - my name means HUMBLE! So I didn't boast myself as Ethiopian - I am judged as Rastafari because of whats in the astray? And if there was a smoker - are you saying WE SHOULD NOT SPEAK TO THE SINNERS, HAVE WE ONLY COME FOR THE RIGHTEOUS??? As far as Mr. Battybwoyfidead - Selamita to ALL, fi dem bwoy really have to look inna him own heart - see what him see - and hate himself! One love to the Sisters, those who are for and against LOJ, Queen Mimi and Ras Iadonis...
We Ethiopians think he did well with LOJ (who is perfect? Father! ABBA so we still are growing to reach He/She/INI;-) and many seek Rastafari and the company of ALL RASTAFARI all so will we be one family or not??? Its just a shame that this is what got so many talking and using all this energy on that. When will that energy be used to bring all together togather no matter. We have learned that RAS TAFARI is based on ETHIOPIA as a central place in RASTAFARI COSMOLOGY! We never denied Africa, Europe or Asia - We have Sistershood amongst all of them. There is not a problem only what people really have hidden in them hearts - yes RASTAFARI is not about following LOJ or INI its about H.I.M. and ALL ABOUT H.I.M. Even I as an Ethiopian am learing about ETHIOPIA and RAS TAFARI. So does that mean I shouldn't defend RAS TAFARI?! One moment some say its all BLACK and the next they say we should be kind like H.I.M. to all... so if a brother or sister sins what you do? Talk behind their backs, WHAT DOES H.I.M. SAY? WHAT DOES IESUS CHRISTOS SAY? Yet you allow a bwoy named BATTYBWOYFIDEAD to insult ALL WOMAN and ALL RASTAWOMAN NATION and no one says anything! Guess some think its funny until one of you married such a bredren and he beats ya to a pulp!! Like the Book of James says SUCH WORDS!!
If we are not here to talk and reason and learn about that there I will bid all yall peace still because I DON'T BLAME YOU! WE ALL HAVE MIS-JUDGED BEFORE and its no different. We are not begging any one to be RASTA or be LOJ yet we at least are putting ourselves out there for RASTAFARI, ETHIOPIA and all ini. LIKE INI SAID - THE FULLNESS OF THIS WHOLE MATTER is in ROMANS CHAPTER 11. Isn't Babylon NEW "rome" and aren't "Black" people the "lost sheep" who were sold into a HOLOCAUST and enslaved by the Gentiles? We are not haters yet the truth must be known - even for the same SALVATION OF ALL! Like Israel, ETHIOPIA has her place in REVELATIONS. Do you think its easy to represent RASTAFARI to your own people?? WE WOULD FEEL LIKE FALSE PROPHETS IF SOME DIDN'T CRITIZE OR FIND SOME FAULT WITH US. MISGANA! GIVE THANKS! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS - some may not feel it, yet we know its just your love! Still it is written that we all would have to experience days like these - GREAT TRIBULATIONS!
BE WELL!
MELKAM FASIKA
HAPPY PASSOVER!
