carla,
the Jews and Muslims are the obvious one.
I did a check the my list of cults who dont eat pork and theres a few as have already been mentioned in this topic. Hindu's don't eat beef in the north and are veggies in the south. Some branches of the adventists still carry the Abrahmic laws, and don't eat pork.
My gut feeling is its going to be and Abrahamic offshot. However, if his previous 'religion' was over twenty years ago, he could just be embarissed about some ex-hippy stuff he was into. Maybe just a veggie.

As regards my cult, I think I'll post the rule book in another topic.

carla,
I am a self professed leader of a new cult!
For my followers, its a consciense matter, whether they eat pork or not.
Mrs SteveNYC is currently on a diet, and as such she doesn't eat pork.
A have a very limited following, so if anyone else wants to join let me know. My wife is currently sleeping in bed, and therefore in full practice of my cult.

hello everyone, im in a bit of a dilema here, ive been dating a girl who is studying with the jws, not babtized yet, but wants to just as soon as she is ready to fully dedicate herself.

anyhow ive tried reasoning with here concerning scripture only to have her say that she doesnt really now but will ask someone (elder).

so in an attempt to discredit the wtbs i purchased some materials from watchmen on the false dates and doctrine reversals.

there is so much bull in this, cultish bull. Its on their main page check it out, read all of it, and you will see what I mean.
Some Basic Beliefs Of Jehovah's Witnesses Jehovah is the almighty God. His personal name appears more than 7,000 times in the earliest manuscripts of the Bible.—Psalm 83:18.

Jesus Christ is God's Son, who came to earth to give his life for humankind. (John 3:16, 17) Jehovah's Witnesses follow the teachings of Jesus Christ as they are found in the Gospels. (ADDED - What about Birthdays?????)The name Jehovah's Witnesses is based on Isaiah 43:10, which says: "'You are my witnesses,' is the utterance of Jehovah."

The Kingdom that people pray for in the "Our Father" prayer is a heavenly government(ADDED: Only after the teaching of christ return didn't happen) that will soon take away all the suffering and pain in the world to make room for the Paradise that the Bible promises.—Isaiah 9:6, 7; Daniel 2:44; Matthew 6:9, 10; Revelation 21:3, 4.

Everyone who does the will of God has the opportunity to enjoy the Kingdom blessings eternally.—John 17:3; 1 John 2:17. (ADDED EVERYONE not just JDUBS!!!)

Christians must mold their behavior by what the Bible says. They must endeavor to be honest, to live a clean, moral life, and to show love to their neighbor.—Matthew 22:39; John 13:35; 1 Corinthians 6:9, 10.

Kristi died about 30 mins. ago

2. current
for those of yall that didn't know, kristi was a 37-yr-old ms patient that i took care of for the last year of her life.

she had a wonderful ribald sense of humor and talked like a sailor at times.

but it was all to cover up the ultra-sweet and tender heart she had.
stevenyc

Life is sometimes downright UNFAIR.
I'm sorry for the loss you're feeling. Sounds to me like you made a diffrence to her over the last few years.

Why are beards so bad?
by bother_forever in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
whats with the idelology behind jws that "bro's" with beards are undeserving of privledge and advacemet in their f**cked up org?

what jesus never had facial hair?

i remember hearing comments like " yes he's a lovely bro, but he'll not be used by the cong because he needs to shave his beard".
stevenyc

It was explained to me that people who were rebelious grew beards as a sign of rebelion. The same as wire frame (lennon) glasses.
The cult didn't want to potentially upset a possible book sale.
