CHRISTAFARIANS: "WHY IS OUR MUSIC SO WATERED DOWN?"
FROM THE CRC ARCHIVE ON CHRISTAFARIANISM
And again (see below on this page), an interesting set of postings which brought some more documentation into existance. Documentation that chronicles the roots and the fruits of the christafari Cult as they move themselves further into the Christian Industrial Complex.

The blindness of the participants of the Christian Industrial Complex is painly visible, as they keep walking into the walls that keep them inside the cult.

As another recent posting on this forum showed, Christafarians must speak about their "music" among themselves as "the most authentic". Recently, Mark Mohr declared "Jah Servant" and "Solomon Jabby" as the most authentic in his catalogue of antichrist poison blasphemically called "gospel reggae".

And as the above quotations show, there are those within the public that keep asking themselves why it is that artists, as soon as they are caught in the christian industrial complex, are not able anymore to produce the music that they used to.

Instead, they are all "watered down" and this is not so nice for the customers of the Christian Industrial Complex who are being taught that "Goth" does not want them to buy any music or any product outside of the Christian Industrial Complex:

    Christ alone is the Lord of my life. So when I listen to a reggae song that praises Rastafari, giving worship to Selassie, I get convicted. My spirit does not agree with this. I then have to ask myself this question: if Shadrach, and his brothers refused to bow to the false god when the music played, why would they then go out and buy a CD full of this same music and listen to it daily? They wouldn't!

For a more in-depth study of the hypocrazy and unbiblical nature of the Christafari Cult click HERE.

Welcome to the prison system. Welcome to the Christian Industrial Complex, where "christianity" is a product and christians are the consumers. They are being kept inside of the prison walls with false prophecies and teachings such as the above. While the Bible is clear, about these false teachers:

    2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.  
    2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
    2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
    King James Version (KJV) 2 Peter - Chapter 2


And they keep wondering, why the merchandize which they have become in this "Christian Industry", is only an imitation of what they know to be the "real thing".

Yes, the Bible is very clear, how FALSE TEACHERS and WORKERS OF INIQUITY are MAKING MERCHANDISE OUT OF YESUS KRISTOS WORSHIPPERS.

Oh yes, this is being preached from the pullpits of the false preachers and prophets, and the poor poor poor poor people have no idea what's happening to them. Look at this:

    that's one of the problems why these artists take so long to do an album. most times the songs are there. but it takes a while to get the funds. my pastor always says that we christians (well i'm reffering to st. lucia) always witness to people who are not too wealthy and we forget about the wealthy ones. imagine if we witnessed to a well known wealthy individual and he accepted the gospel. just imagine how he would help to support the work of God!


Yes, this is how it works in a nutshell. Look again. See how others agree! Do you see that this pure blasphemy?  "Witnessing", "sharing salvation", all these biblically sounding words that deceive so many, turn out to be nothing more but money making methods. Creating customers and sponsors for the christian industrial complex.

The lust for money is the root of all evil. But as you can see, this is the "gospel" that these christafarians believe in. The gospel of money.

Oh yes, there are some who still have a little bit of consciousness left in their brainwashed mind set. But they don't see the point, unfortunately they seem to have been blinded by the roots of all evil, that is the lust for money.

    While I agree we should witness to rich and poor alike, I don't believe God needs the wealth of the rich to forward His kingdom. After all, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof", He owns it already. He's just waiting for us to give more. It was the poor widow that gave all she had. It is not about who gives the most money but who makes the bigger sacrifice.


This is a neo-evangelical point of view. A man-centered perspective to say the least. This is the mentality that makes people think that "God" is there "for you". Like an artist makes music to be there for the music. Sure....

God, by the way, and Jesus Christ as they call him sometimes too, is the entity which is worshipped in the christian industrial complex and identified by the apostles and Yesus Kristos as the spirit of antichrist.

But as you can see, there is NO questioning of the system itself. There is just a disagreement. One says: "we should convert the rich so that the real artists can make better albums for us to enjoy inside the christian industrial complex", and the other one simply answers: "there's money enough, there's a whole world waiting for us to begot". and so, the last pennies of the many poor are enough...

Yes, plundering the poor people, promising them that as soon as they give money to the industrial complex ("love offerings") they will be blessed themselves. and indeed, these people have a global perspective, and so they continue to rob the poor. For more information, see the article and mp3 interview on this website with the title 'televangelists plundering africa'.

Another person has another disagreement, but not principally either. He senses, that the watering down comes from what he calls "leaders" (where Yesus Kristos said that only HE is LORD) and he simply wants to have the artists in the christian industrial complex be more "entertaining".

    certain ones come into the christian and gospel arena and many time are influenced and controlled by the leaders and people around then to change their style and the get soft (...) similar people are saying they are not there to and do not want to entertain with thier music, and they forget to realize that the most effective form of influence in this day in age is entertainment (...) these things add up to no fan base or no following which is where the money comes from to do things and you also realize that the poeple who are ones influenced by these big secular bands is their fans right? its not those who come to one show and never listen to the music again.


Although it sometimes seems as if Iton-I sees a little bit better what's the matter, he doesn't get the point either. He doesn't see how the christian industrial complex itself is the evildoer. In this prison you can't make any SOUNDS OF FREEDOM.

He sees how "leaders" are the ones who bring the watered down styles that many feel. After all, in the Christian Industrial Complex the point is "who is the most authentic", meaning: "who is the allest things to all men, or "who is the best IMITATOR". Listen to 30 seconds of christafari's "music", and you will know exactly what I mean with that. They are unable to make "authentic reggae" because "authentic reggae" is SOUNDS OF FREEDOM.

He thinks, that "entertaintment" is the key. Bercause that will create a loyal fan base. In other words, tickle their ears a little bit more. No, not "witnessing to the rich" or "robbing from the poor as well as the rich", no, simply be an "entertainer". That will (literally) influence the potential new customers for the product called "christianity", brought to you by the antichristian industry.

The debate then continues. Who has the most money? The rich, the poor, the fans? The guy who said "the rich", has some extra argumentation. The well of the poor, as he knows very well in st lucia, is not without bottom. In America, they don't realize this, but at St Lucia the do. and therefore he says:

    If you go to church ask only those who aren't working or those who have nothing to give offerings and say to those who have more money to stop giving cuz God doesn't need it. eventually some of the utilities are going to be cut off.


In other words: the money must be payed while people must think "God needs it". It can then be used to try to make even more "authentic" music which will then serve as "entertaintment", which is basically eaertickling as the Bible describes this grand delusion from the christian industrial complex.

The last posting which was quoted by CRC said:

"Soon to climb the Mountain of the Industry. Pray bredren for I, Pray!"

Which says it all.

Let's pray indeed.

Let's pray that those who have been brainwashed by the christafari cult, who have been tempted with a "carrierre in the christian industry", tempted with MONEY therefore, let's pray that those who think they please "god" when they "climb the mountain of the industry", let's pray for those who rob the poor to pay for entertaining the christafarians, let's pray for those who think that money makes the church carry on, let's pray for those are trapped by satan in the antichrist prison called THE CHRISTIAN INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX.

JAH says, about this clear false gospel false christ system, "leave out of her my people, so that you will not partake in the judgement that will come over her".

But it seems like many would rather have the eartickling sounds of the antichrist and his "less and more authentic reggae" to keep themselves in delusion.

JAH RASTAFARI KNOW.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------

How is it when any reggae artist become a christian they alway do less albums and songs? I remember when papa san was a not a christain he would get on stage and freestyle for 30 minutes with the likes of ninjaman/mad cobra. Now he is a christian and he releases 1 album every five years!! and no new singles. whats up wid dat? Stitchie is a little better he releases 1 album every year and does some singles. I think its time for all the christian reggae artist to step up their game and produce more original songs. back to papa san. Ive been to 5 shows in the last three years and they have all been the same--no new songs, same riddims. when was the last time we heard from prodigal Im not knocking any of them im just letting my opinion be known, i pray for them all the time. Let me know what you all think!

well bro u can think about this when papasan was not saved record company might of payed for album cause it type of music they want and now for the caribbean gospel reggae industry although u find some artist under a label still most funding comes out of there own pocket

papa san have 2 albums and singles he feature on others album in the urban world and im sure he coming with one soon again.


my observation is that most of them when changed water down the music everybody been asking where is stichie djing gone too? only rarely u can find him on few tracks djing and it goes on and on but as much saying this we have to belive that there led by the holy spirit to do what they doing when ever they doing. as u seealso de fruits will follow.

the holy spirit or mans spirit? the leading of Jah? doubtful, from what i have seen from living here in the caribbean is that many of these artists pressured by the christian leaders and congregations and they have a huge roll in the sound and presentation of some of these artists. if their vocal style that they used before wasnt out of the creativity Jah gives man. i hate seeing artist get soft cuase they come into the christian and gospel music arena

i clearly understand Iton_I and duster. i used to say the same thing till i get to know about their funds coming out of their own pocket. that's one of the problems why these artists take so long to do an album. most times the songs are there. but it takes a while to get the funds. my pastor always says that we christians (well i'm reffering to st. lucia) always witness to people who are not too wealthy and we forget about the wealthy ones. imagine if we witnessed to a well known wealthy individual and he accepted the gospel. just imagine how he would help to support the work of God!

rich or poor dont matter as the dub rev. said. who one witnesses to has nothing to do with it. here is problem i see. certain ones come into the christian and gospel arena and many time are influenced and controlled by the leaders and people around then to change their style and the get soft. stichie is a good example of that. maybe they get soft for other reasons i dunno. but i know that what i just said is true many times cause i have seen it down here.

to many of the singers down think they are preachers and say "i am only minister i do not entertain people" i find that mentality not only holds them back but is also stupid. i had called a certain artist here and asked him to come perform as a guest artist for a session i was doing. he returned the call to tell me he has things to do with his congregation that night and then made it a point to tell me he does perform any more and hasnt performed in many years since he was in the secular arena. he told me he only ministers unto the lord now. aahhhh this mentality has me sick! its no wonder his last cd launch had less people than even 1/8 of his own congregation. if a person wants to hear someone preach they will sit in front of a pulpit. if they want to hear watered down rythms they will go to the same place. but people want to go to a concert to enjoy themselves, get up and dance with joy, and at the same time as doing all that have a positive meditation within the music. that man told me he doesnt perform any more and i can see that on stage. i want to know if a group of people put together some skits and present it that is a performance right? and within that performace they could also be bringing and influencing others with truths right? and this whole minister unto the lord stupid understanding; everything a man does should be does as unto the lord, wether he is digging a hole, walking down the road, or... PERFORMING. similar people are saying they are not there to and do not want to entertain with thier music, and they forget to realize that the most effective form of influence in this day in age is entertainment. another thing i see some of the gospel artists i see are too stinking disrespectful. do they think that because the gospel will be an offense to some that they might as well be an offense themsleves as well. i have seen to many artsits offend some of their listeners before they even get to the gospel message because of their lack of sensitivity, respect and love. i am a follower of the messiah do my best in his strength to abide by His teachings and i have been offended by some these artist and its not the message of the bible that offends me.
these things add up to no fan base or no following which is where the money comes from to do things and you also realize that the poeple who are ones influenced by these big secular bands is their fans right? its not those who come to one show and never listen to the music again.

i am not saying to compromise a biblical message or way of like but some of the things i see hindering these artist are contrary to the bible as well.

but i guess it all comes down to where the person it called to as well. some are called to be sheep strokers and ministers unto those who already claim to believe.
i would say the christian congregations these days are filled with lots of people who are fooled into thinking that are redeemed so there is a need for some real truth and proper biblical inderstanding to be brought to that arena but then many of the music "ministers" could be in the same position as the rest.

dont get me wrong i am not judging mans hear and at times I pray Jah to search my own heart and see if i am really redeemed. but these things are an observation i have made

if you have nothing what can you give.

what you said is true but if i only have 4 dollars i can't give you five. but i'm not talking about who giving more. And yes God needs money for his work to continue here on earth.

If you go to church ask only those who aren't working or those who have nothing to give offerings and say to those who have more money to stop giving cuz God doesn't need it. eventually some of the utilities are going to be cut off.
