Rastas in the Wild

This group of Rastas live in a remote village. From the looks of the area they live in, they appear to be following the basic idea of rejecting the advances of Babylon. there is very little evidence of modern day technology. The video mentioned a lack of running water and electricity. They pay attention to the biblical writings. They have religious colors and symbols, such as dreadlocks, throughout the town. Generally speaking, it seems that they would fit into the book's definition of Rastafarian.

Is it what i would expect to see? For Rastas in a rural area, yes. I wasn't very surprised to see the way these people lived. If the lived in a city, they would be very different, but not necessarily because of the religion. They would have the same basic religious ideas, but living circumstances would make them appear different. For example it may appear that Rastas living in a city would embrace Babylon more, but really they would have no choice if they wanted to live: there would be buildings, electricity, water all around them.

In general, this fits into what my basic idea of a true Rasta would be. They take their religion seriously, waking up at 3am to pray (i think). Does the fact that they do these religious things validate Rastafarian? To a certain extent it does mean that they are true believers in Rastafarian. I am not surprised to see that they live this way.
