i was really sad, thinking about how that would exclude me from dating a rasta man, because until post 11, i wasn't thinking about blow jobs at all. then i understood. :biggrin:
....um, not one single verse in the Bible condemns oral sex. Or anal sex for that matter (though it's just fucking gross) ... several passages do condemn homosexuality, although without going into the specific details.
1 knew nothing about this till now. 1 never heard this before. However 1 will comment, that perhaps having long roovy dreads [as a fad] and actually practising rastafari are 2 different things ? And some references would be good as to anal [gros] or oral being sodomy or forbidden. 4lso 1 would ask [seeing as u ppl know so much] about wearing clothes of the other gebder or masteubation [bad spelling] Strange thing is 1ve recently joined some ''christian'' forums and NOBODY talks about this stuff, nor did my friends parents doctors or anyone ! please tell me more ... ,ong as its true and some references please jamen
that's jamaican culture. womens vaginas are thought to be unclean. for instance, women that get paid to do others' laundry will refuse to wash womens' panties and underwear b/c it is unclean.
also, the proper term is "Ras", not "Rasta" or "Rastaman". Ras=King. The Ta- comes from Tafari, or H.I.M. Haile Selassi I.
does this relate to the 7orah in the bible ???????? refernces ? ----------------------------------------- i started a thread in christianity http://www.hipforums.com/newforums/showthread.php?p=6818506#post6818506 on this topic
yeah somewhere in the o.t. women are unclean b/c they bleed every month. aren't allowed into church for worship etc. but this is a jamaican thing, not just rastafari.
interesting that negro ppl brought from africa would practice biblical traditions ... some would claim that these africans learned such practices from the israelite/hebrew ppl ... i had the opposite idea ... that the hebrews adopted tyheir knowledge from voodoo practicing africans. here is a link indicating that the chinese had the bible 5000 years agp. http://students.washington.edu/cbsf/cool/Chinese.swf
blood carries viruses ... blood is unclean. needles, surgery, sex, war, violence, laundry whatever ... blood is blood. most ppl react the same way to blood its unclean
In the sense of sodomy laws. Sodomy in this sense is living as they lived in sodom. So, figure out how they lived there, I 'spose.
yeah, that would be the case if this cultural tradition based on judeo-christian law were actually logical. however, women's genitals are "unclean" as a means of keeping women inferior as a group...like most religions created in a patriarchal society.
I n I am a Rasta woman ( a Shanti)and I have lived in Jamaica and Africia up in the bush. And I'm going to say this to all of you. As being in the lifestyle it isn't right for either man or wombman to have oral sex. It as only become okay with those that live in the States or Europe.or western society. The beliefs are Because true Rastamon know that a wombman pum pum is sacred and more. Also any RASTA that would want to cut thier dreads or shave thier beard are Nuh Rasta . So to the lady that said her Rasta man said he would have to cut his dreads and shave.. he Nuh speak de truth he only tell uh dis Because he already no da truth.
