Greetings Priest ,
about the first lines you wrote , i guess that's why this same people and we in general are now reasonin more about this issue . What i sense is that in the former years that Vow was taken much very seriously than it is now , be it for more knowledge , be it fe the progress of the movement be it for any more reasons we would add .
It is not about what we would prefer but as you say the law of Jah .
Which i don't take literal as well , the words in the bible i mean .
But still the Vov which those elders adhere to , was written in it , and so they of course did follow it till the end .

True is what you seh here , that's why i sayd for those who ...

"Many who are Ras today did'nt locks becuase of any Nazarite vow, some learnt about that part after becoming Rasta"

for this i see no problem , i guess they have no problem with this issue since they do not lock dem hair because of that same vOW .

"what about the Nazarite who does not grow locks?

i guess here is the same , if one do not refer to the Nazarite Vow in ch.6 Numbers , then dem will find or will have no subject/problem to reason on .

"I'm sure if you past on you would rather be laid to rest in the name of Haile Selassie I than Geezas."

yes , but this is , in my opinion , not in reference with vow . Cause the Vow enter in game when i pass away and a rasta brethen cannot stay next to me while i am at that . BECAUSE of the vow.Because of what he follow .
It is more about me and you than be laid to rest in Jesus or Selassie Name .
More about our personal feelings and inter-dependance than that .i think .

give thanks to you for bringin up this ,

mo'love
