About the WorldOfJah

“No development in the modern world has been so startling as the revolution in communications. Man’s voice flashes around the earth in split seconds. Distance & time have been annihilated. Our people’s vigour & labor can bear fruit only when communications networks are afforded them.”

His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie

WorldOfJah Guidelines

"The temple of the Most High begins with the human body which houses our life, the essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors.

We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations, and rituals created by humans, which were supposed to help people to grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive, and a tool for power struggle.

Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was give by the Most High of Creation. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe and each other. As the essence of our existence, it embodies our culture, true identity, nationhood, and destiny.

A people without a nation that they can really call their own is a people without a soul. Africa is our nation and is in spiritual and physical bondage because her leaders are turning to outside forces for solutions to African problems when everything Africa needs is within her.

When African righteous people come together the world will come together.

This is our divine destiny."

Emperor Haile Selassie


WorldOfJah is a Positive, Constructive site which sets aside differences to provide a better focus on Reasoning, Actions and Learnings. Thus WorldOfJah will not tolerate Slackness and will not hesitate to ban members who lack Raspect and Humility.

"Since nobody can interfere in the realm of God we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other faiths. In the mystic traditions of the different religions we have a remarkable unity of spirit. Whatever religion they may profess, they are spiritual kinsmen.

While the different religions in their historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have already stood for the fellowship of humanity in harmony with the spirit of the mystics of ages gone by."

H.I.M.

In the words of a Sista, Views related to specific Mansions should be uttered RASpectfully in relation to the views of other Mansions.


"No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge of the ways of God.

"We don't consider our religion alone valid and have granted the people the freedom to observe any religion they please."

-Rasta is not Slackness. There are plenty of nice Ragga/Dancehall/Slackness websites, please refer to Google if you realise this I-mmunity is not right for you. The alternative is to keep Slackness out of this website and just show your Conscious side in here.

-This is not a « Im lookin for sex website ». Sorry to be so direct, but InI little experience has showned InI that you always get this kind of individuals, be them males or females. Please again refer to Google if this I-munity is not right for you. In the words of a Sistren, «I am not saying no-one could meet their future partner through the site still I feel this should come through gradual friendship and reasoning and not be the aim of joining ».

-WorldOfJah applies the Blindman policy. Never judge a book by its cover. Look behind appearances. Racism is not even in InI dictionary. For those who think that a Rastaman has to be of one specific skin color and cant be Black, White, Green, Purple or Yellow this is no place to be.

-WOJ is also a place for promotion, so we have to respect each other`s promotion space. One post per category per day is allowed (1 Inews, 1 Reasoning post, 1 Poetry post, etc.). This does not applied to Comments. Images within the Inews should also be no more than 350 pixels in height.

-Quarrels will arise in such a large website. It is sometimes better to "agree to disagree". If you have an issue with a member of the site, it is advisable to deal with it privately.
