THE MYSTERY OF CHRISTAFARIANISM is a heavily footnoted exposure of the
Christian Industrial Complex and Christafari's role in her.
The book contains 14 chapters and is over 200 pages long. It is a
follow up for the essay "Christafarianism" which was published in
october 2004. However, this book is completely different than that
essay.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Prologue: AN OPEN LETTER TO MARK MOHR - if there is one person who
should read this book, it is Mark Mohr. He is the public figurehead of
Christafari and the inventor of Christafarianism.
Prefix: FOREWARD - An introduction into the mystery of
Christafarianism. Ehy was this book written? Why should this book be
read?
CHRISTAFARIANISM IN ACTION PART ONE
- DISCOVERING THE MYSTERY -
We will "discover the mystery" by observing how one unbiblical action
follows another, by seeing how money and manipulation are "the winning
team" as it were. We'll discover, how a serious brainwash campaign is
set up in order to keep the Christafarians under tight control.
We'll see how Christafari is not only "all things to all men" when it
comes to what they call "witnessing to Rastas", they are also "all
things to all men" when it comes to the Christian Industry, an
abominable complex that generates economic activety out of the
Christian faith. One could say: the commercialization of Christianity.
The four questions that introduce the Christafari section on the CRC
website turn out to be quite relevant:
IS THE KINGDOM OF YESUS KRISTOS AN "INDUSTRY"?
IS HIS MESSAGE OF SALVATION A "CULTURE" FOR "FANS" TO "GET HOOKED" ON?
DOES THE BIBLE COMMAND MANIPULATION?
DOES JAH CREATE DECEIVERS?
Introduction: THE MORNING AFTER - The first days after the book
Christafarianism: Don't Be A Rasta, Be Like A Rasta was published, a
lot of things were going on, both for the public's eye as well as
behind the scenes.
Chapter 01: SATAN, SKUNK AND STRESS - What are the implications of the
fact that Christafari is so lightly in their Theology? What exactly did
they do, spiritually? Why did they start with a "final" rebuke? It
turns out, that Christafari wanted to kill the messenger.
Chapter 02: GOSPELS, GIFTS AND GREATER SALES - In this chapter we take
a first look Christafari's "gospel", which turns out to be "a genre
that non-believers must be introduced to which will then lead to
greater sales.
And we will be introduced to one very sick way that Christafari uses in
order to get money. By looking at three of their fund-raisers, all
adressed to Fellow Christafarians we will find some disturbing
patterns.
We will also read how Christafari uses the "Picture of the Poor
African" to these Christafarians in order to have these potential
sponsors give money to Christafari to minister to Africans in person,
which is then used by Lion of zion for business.
It seems like money given to the Sowers Organization ends in the Lion
Of Zion business which may be violating terms of the Tax Exempt Status
and non profit image of Sowers, the money collectors of Christafari. In
the chapter, we will find out more details.
Chapter 03: OPERATION INTEROGATION AND ERADICATION - A short report
from the e-mail interogation that Mark Mohr conducted with Messian
Dread, in the time he was preparing for his article which is called
"Mark Mohr's Response To The Essay". The chapter ends with a few
remarkable quotes from a Christafarian Artist, with lines such as "Who
Cares What Selassie Says" and worse.
Chapter 04: TELEPHONE LOVE - This chapter opens with a description of
what is known in evangelical circles as "the blanket of love".
Ultimately, this means that one can never say anything perceived
negative about someone else's teachings and doctrines, as well as other
things.
We are then introduced as to how this is practised by Christafari. It
turns out, that Christafarianism is a philosophy based on, aimed at,
justifying the personal experiences of one person. In an ultimate
attempt to stop the publication of the previous book, Mark Mohr then
spent two hours on an intercontinental phone talk. A report from this
confrontation brings us a step closer in the discovery of the mystery.
Chapter 05: THREE DAYS IN THE BAIT WITH MARK MOHR - This fifth chapter
contains a report from three days of pure terror. While the public was
reading the "Final Rebuke To Messian Dread" and behind the scenes the
weird correspondence was going on, the Christafarian prepared himself
to write "Mark Mohr's Response To The Essay". Of course, it wasn't. It
was a piece of brainwash. And it worked in the minds of the
christafarians. THREE DAYS IN THE BAIT WITH MARK MOHR contains a report
from this brainwash.
CHRISTAFARIANISM IN ACTION PART TWO
- UNVEILING THE MYSTERY -
It the the thesis of "The Mystery of Christafarianism", that
Christafari's "God" and Religion turn out to be none other than Mystery
Babylon.
And while we unveil this mystery, in the second part of the book, we
will be taken to a deeper level of Christafarianism. We will check the
teachings of Christafari, we will check the roots and the fruits. We
will uncover material that was hidden for the public's eye along the
way.
We will see that these fruits and roots are also described in the
Bible. But not in paragraphs dealing with the Church of Yesus Kristos!
Chapter 06: THE "ELECT OF GOD" AND HIS KINGDOM - This chapter starts
with a comparance between two people: the first one is the Ethiopian
Emperor Haile Selassie, and the second one is The Christafarian. We
will read how the Christafarian calls Haile Selassie an "elect of
himself" and denies the authority given to the Ethiopian Emperor as not
given by "Almighty God". One of Haile Selassie's titles is Elect of
God, but a closer study reveals how Mark Mohr de facto claims that
title for himself. We will see his doctrinal teachings concerning this
after which we can do nothing but conclude that the Christafarian
covers himself in political authority over a great number of people.
Chapter 07: THE ROOTS OF CHRISTAFARIANISM - Starts with a quote of Mark
Mohr, giving the example of a band called "Vengeance Rising" in order
to substantiate his claim that you should only get band members in a
"church". Vengeance Rising is a well known band in the Christian Heavy
Metal scene. the singer has turned satanist. We will also take a look
into another root of Christafarianism: the George Bush connection so to
speak. It turns out, that Christafarianism is well connected with the
Bush supporting so-called conservative Christian Right. A website
bushcountry.org turns out to publish an interview with Mark Mohr where
yet even more revelations come to the surface.
Chapter 08: CHRISTAFARIANISM: ANOTHER GOSPEL - Another gospel is,
something different then the message of salvation to sinners. A message
that should be given freely. A message that does have anything to do
with any "Christian Industry". We will take a deep look in the Bible,
and we will establish how Christafarianism perfectly fits the
description of what the apostle Paulus calls "another gospel". The
"Gospel" of Christafarianism definitely turns out to be "another
gospel", catering to the itchy ears of "the public"....
Chapter 09: CHECKING THE FRUITS - We will establish how "Pastor Mark"
teaches a complete false doctrine when it comes to being born again. He
claims to have been through that one time spiritual event at least 15
times! Now when this is not a confession of faith in some kind of weird
spiritual reincarnation theory, it is a gross disdain for the most
essential part of the Christian Life: BIRTH!
We can establish, however, that "someone" was "born spiritually", and
we have come to identify him as "The Christafarian".
We will see how he makes a differentiation between his teachings and
the gospel of Yesus Kristos, too. And we will see how he (at least)
equates the two writings. In other words: he admits to write another
gospel and he admits he wants it to be treated (in his own words) "just
like the Gospel Of Jesus Christ"...
We will also take a look at the things of which the Christafarian
claims "God" told him. Things which the true God could never hacve told
him singce they were factual incorrect: or to put it more blatantly:
LIES. They turn out to be, in his own admittance, his own feelings and
ideas. They're only presented as things "god" told him. But his "god"
lies!
Chapter 10: CHURCH PLANTER ON TRINIDAD - We're going to the Island of
Trinidad, where the Christafarian planted a church called The
Gathering. Is The Gathering still "under the cover of Sanctuary and
the Sowers"? Njet. And therefore, when we speak about the Gathering
in this chapter, we do not speak about this current Post-Christafarian
Gathering.
Pastor Mark wrote a letter to Trinidad on apil 1st, 2005. It was a
letter that one source called a "divorce letter". There is no more
spiritual connection between the Christafarian and the Gathering. The
reason for this: Pastor Mark was not seen as "authority that has to
be obeyed by all"...
Mark Mohr is personally "under the cover of Sanctuary and the
Sowers", but his silent seperation from the Gathering means that this
congregation no longer has anything to do with the Christafarian, at
least not in the spiritual sense.
There are still a lot of contacts in the business field. There are also
problems in that area, by the way. Trinidad artists don't deal with
Lion of Zion directly anymore, either. They asked one person to
maintain the contacts for them.
The bizarre aspect is, that the public is not informed about this
"official divorce" but rather kept under the impression that The
Gathering still an official Christafari project.
Another "superficial issue in the public's eye"?
We will also read in this chapter, how the "church" in Trinidad was
only intended to be a way of exporting American Post Modernism to
Trinidad. It was totally and officially patterned after the Sanctuary
Church that produced "worship leaders" such as Roger Martinez,
currently self professed "satanist and blasphemer".
The program is simple (italics are Christafari quotes): you "plant a
church", make sure that "the worship leaders are all well known
carribean gospel artists". In the same time, to plant more seeds you
teach young aspiring artists about songwriting and the Christian Music
Industry, and your Church 2.0 turns out to be more like a "talent
contest", as one of our quotes described this situation that produced
the CD "The Gathering - Trinidad and Tobago".
Chapter 11: SILENTLY SEPERATING STAR - A story is told that has yet
been unexposed to the general public. It's a story that has many
similarities with the Gathering, where we have been reading about in
the previous chapter. A story of the Christafarian organizing something
with (other) Christians, getting into conflict with these brethren, and
subsequently committing a "silent seperation" SILENTLY SEPERATING STAR
opens the book. Officially.
Chapter 12: NO MORE JAH: CHRISTAFARIAN APOSTASY? - Every sunday again,
we can hear how the Church Choirs sing: HalleluJAH. But this holy Name
is definitely not hallowed in the Christian Industry. Where the Most
High makes us sing: "He Leadeth Us For HIS NAME's Sake", it turns out
that for Christafarianism, this Holy Name turns out to be nothing but a
marketing tool. His Holy Name, even preaching the coming judgement on
Babylon System, this all turn out to be "boring" to the Christafarian.
:
"roots reggae that is even less original with the typical "Jah,"
Babylon, repatriation, Zion, Conquering Lion, Ethiopia, Rastafari,
Marcus Garvey Jargon. There are only so many times that I can hear the
same things over and over again. I am exhausted. "
Chapter 13: CONFUSED CHRISTAFARIANS - We will be introduced to the
Christafari Cult. The little Christafarians, the "fans" that form the
"culture we created". They are truly confused, when you read what they
claim. But do they realize that their very confusion should be a sign
for them that they truly are initiated into a mystery. How do they get
into this Mystery? And what about artists who "just" "want to be sold
at LOZ"? These questions are adressed in the 13th chapter...
Chapter 14: MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN - Into the last chapter, which
(translated into english) means as much as: "Checked, and found to be
too light". It's the conclusive chapter. In it, we will be introduced
to the very house of "Christianity", wherein the Christafarian resides.
It is a movement called "Neo Evangelical". This name is quite unknown,
not in the least to the very members of it. Yet, is has been declared
in 1947 and we all know it's biggest celebrity: Billy Graham!
We will also read what His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I had to say
to this very same movement, and how he predicted the Christian Industry
where the Christafarian works his works. We will see how the Ethiopian
Emperor compared the movement with Mystery Babylon.
We will find out, just how connected the Neo Evangelical Movement is
with the New World Order, the so-called Judeo Christian Civilization of
presidents like George W. Bush.
We will shortly pass through all the different perspectives which we
took in this book. We looked at Christafarianism from the perspective
of Rastafari, Christianity, Cultural, Journalistical, Intelectually,
Psychologically and Sociologically.
We will conclude, how it was not "God" who gave the Christafarian his
"Life Ministry". At least, not the God Who created Heaven and Earth and
all that dwelleth therein.
We will conclude, how Christafarianism is another Gospel. It's the
Gospel of Babylon. and musty be treated as such.
Post Scriptum: EYE WITNESS - Much talk was there about the person who
wrote this book. The word "Agenda" has been connected with the very
reason behind the writing and exposing of The Mystery Of
Christafarianism. The "agenda" turns out to be nothing more then a love
for the truth. Freedom Lovers and Yesus Disciples will know what that
means.
Appendix 1: Christafari Fundraiser for "Gravity" - Just one example
which is analysed in the book.
Appendix 2: Mark Mohr article about Messian Dread, december 2001 - In
this article, Mark Mohr "exposes" how "Messian Dread is an avid smoker
of marihuana" and more.

I hope finishing the book helps him move on.

Oh god thats such a internet thing to say!
Thanks for the replies.
First, it's true that I haven't been posting here a long time. For
those who check this newsgroup and didn't check out any of my other
runnings, like the over 30 tracks I released this year, it can be
indeed so that it's like all I can think of is Christafari.
I just might be starting posting other news items, too :)
the reason why I posted the promo about the book in this newsgroup is
that I do expect some people reading this newsgroup to be interested in
Christafari. This "band" (I prefer to speak about a complex or an
organization) has been an abomination in the eyes of many people in
this very same newsgroup.
When you read the archives of this newsgroup you will find that the
organization is discussed here many many many times. People have been
threatened by Christafari for postings on this newsgroup. I myself have
been through very hard times experiencing just how the Christafari
complex preys on people.
When I joined this group back in 1996 I was unaware of the true nature
of christafari and I have even defended the organization, also in this
very same newsgroup. This was one of my biggest mistakes, not to say
sins, and I think that if only for that reason, there is enough
motivation for me to set this straight. Christafari claims to be
followers of Yesus Kristos the Divine Saviour, where in reality they
are only using christianity as a tool to reach greater sales just as
much as they are using Rastafari for the same reason. I think every
genuine Truthseeker, Christian and Rasta does not need to be explained
as to why it is relevant that such a scheme is being exposed.
I can also see why some would think it's a waste of time and the fact
that someone chooses to call me a screwball, ah well, you know, I have
been called worse things in the context of releasing the exposures of
Christafari. If you want to know my music, then you can download almost
100 tracks absolutely free.
http://interactive.dubroom.org/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=32
When you want to find free and legal Reggae MP3 files, reviewed and
all, go to http://mp3.dubroom.org
But then, when someone loves the Truth, then someone would be glad that
certain things are exposed. For example, the way Trinidad Reggae
artists are exploited in the name of "Christianity". Or the way
Rastafarian Symbology is being abused in order to reach (quote)
"greater sales" where the very same scheme is being presented as
"preaching the gospel" to the Christian Massive. Or the way they use
the "picture of the poor African" in order to make people give them
money to them. To name just three things.
Please do not think that it's only of interest to myself. I have been
hearing reports, the statistics for my website show how daily people
are downloading the books. I have been asked by Christafarians to stop
"sending out my footsoldiers to their concerts", for example, something
which I do not do but it shows how people are interested to say the
least. The truth is an offense, but not a sin.
It's even stronger. This is obviously not just another musical work! So
I don't really care as to whether there is anyone interested. It is not
my responsibility to make other people interested in the truth. It's
everybody's own responsibility what they do with the truth. I do know
that it is my responsibility to share what I know and found out with
the general public. So that each one can decide for one's self.
But please don't think that I am the only one interested. I would never
have engaged the kind of troubles and cussings and threats, Christafari
would never try to make me shut my mouth closed that hard, if that
would be all there is to it.
It could be, that when you are not "religious" to use such a terrible
word, that you have a hard time finding the relevance. But then, please
know, that the music which you love so much is often created by people
who are interested in JAH Things so to speak which does make them
create that music which you love so much. So, yes there is allways a
relevance.
However, I do think that with this second book (on which many people
helped, by the way, just to mention how there are more people involved)
I have delivered a document to the general public wherin everyone can
find enough information about the christafari complex should they need
to find information about them.
If you like, I will post also other news items.
Musically, you might like to know that I will be working on two
completely different albums, while still releasing single tracks as
well, collaborations with other artist, reviews, news items, and much
more.
Respect to all RMR-ers, the ones that I know and the ones that I don't
know.
One Love,

So there is in fact something in the new age theory...because 'babylon'
that is to say masonic christian type construct should not
exist..(aberation!)...and thus when/if this fear power programming is
no longer present then new realities fold out on a community wide basis
(in the suppressed west) because consciousness changes so radically.
However, it is possible that 'you' are trapped in this negataive
karamic nightmare that these people have built.
Like the idea of free reggae tunes by the way...(so much free techno
etc around and so little reggeeI'll check this out now...problem is I
need a decent stereo to tape stuff on that I'm streaming down.
Obviously people have to live but please stay focused on the reality
one is tring to manifest....or at elats to improve ones consciousness
so that one can transcend to Mount Zion (in this paradigm) real time
around one...this is the way it works. Conmsciousness changes so
radically that the very reality changes (by magicial shapeshift).
Problem this is devil worshipry...you get the idea.
So many scandels involving (post roman blag) christianity...recentlyu
in the UK the prntacostal chriostians in London were exposed for
inquisition style ritual abuse of kids whom they believed to be anaimal
shapeshift witches...honoured shaman chiefs, leaders of traditional
tribal society, persecuted by perverted fear by the post roman
christian ritual abuse paradigm. (babylon).
Whatever, either way 'they're' fucked...either massive and radical
consciousness/reality change...or death by environment heat.
CATCHA 22
ha.
interesting read, many strong disagreements with you, though, but none
of them seem to be reggae related so I'll just don't :)
Anyway, exposing a "Televangelist with dreadlocks" does have some
relevance for rmr doesn't it.
One Love,
MD
