Ok, I've been posting in the Evanescence forum a lot lately, and there has been a discussion about their Christianity. I made a reference to POD in the post and the fact that they are Christians in the secular market, yet soon after making that post a reply was sent saying that POD's refence to "Jah" was a rastifarian god, not the one true God. I looked it up, and saw it was a form of Jehova, yet this guy seems to think that the word Jah was only used once in the Bible and that POD is twisting the Bible in order to use it. He also says that POD had a rastifarian priest praising Jah in one of their songs, and I havent heard every song by POD, but the only one i can think of that has something like that is on "Without Jah, Nothin." Is that a rastifarian priest? Does anyone know what this guy is talking about? I always thought Jah was a reference to God, but this guy doesnt seem to get it, thinking that POD is a rastifarian blasphemous band in disguise. whatever. any help would be apreciated.

no, i think everyone here agrees that they are refering to jehova, there was a humungous discussion on that over a year ago if you really wanna look into it....it was 15+ pages

Well, obviously not everyone believes that, cause this guy is kinda making me angry. Anyways, I'll try to find that post and i'll look over some of it.

[destroyer]

yeah, i meant the avid posters in the pod forum here

HAHAHA!! No, man, that guy on Without Jah Nothin' is HR (Human Rights) from Bad Brains. And as far as I know, he's no Rastafarian priest.




People can be so paranoid.

no HR is a christian..(bad brains became Soul brains)..... listen carefully and youll hear him crooning:

Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ


anyways the other guy on there cd is eek a mouse.....

and im not sure but i dont belive hes a rastafarian preist

Wow, awesome, it would help me a bunch if you could find somewhere that says he's Christian now, cause this guy found somewhere that says he was a rastifarian, but it didnt say anything about him changing to christianity. so your help would be appreciated.

Yeah, man, I don't think he's a Christian. Cuz when I read a review of the CD by Bob Smithouser or one of those Bobs, he said he was surprised the band got him to be in that song.

[ApparentlyNothing]

Yeah, I would be surprised if he was, cause I know he's a rastifarian, or at least was. I dont know if he was a priest or what, but still, it kinda begs the question, why would they have a rastifarian on their cd?

Bob Smithouser

the guy form breakaway??


anyways no sorry dude i cant remember where...... but Sonny said it..... maybe on the DVD(s)?????

he said they all became christians, moved to L.A and changed there name from bad brains to soul brains.......

I just checked allmusic.com, and under HR's bio it still lists him as a rastafarian... and it says they changed their name when they got back together... not for becoming Christians...

HR was who they listened to and looked up to during their childhood and his style is one of their major influences.
