"With friends like that, who needs enemies?"

Why pigs???
by stuckinarut2 inwhy did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.

Dietary Quirks Among JWs
by millie210 ini recently had to accompany an older family member out of state to a family reunion.
it was a big reunion and not much was overtly made of the fact that i am "misguided" and not attending meetings (lost soul that i am) which was nice.
the thing i noticed that i was most struck by was all the dietary quirks in evidence during our 3 days together.

millie, I gave freddo a down vote on each of his posts because I considered them offensive and insensitive.Thank you for stepping forward Sparky, I appreciate your telling me. When someone just hits dislike I am never sure what it even means so now I can understand where you are coming from.

LongHairGal
I could never understand all the sisters who wanted to have the COs for dinner except in the case of aspiring types who wanted their husband to be an elder and wanted the CO to put in a good word.
I wish I had been not so easily pressured in to having C.O.s over, I still remember the C.O.s wife who dug through my trash before lunch looking for the salad dressing seasoning packet I had used to make dressing with.
She wanted to find out if it contained msg or some such thing. I offered her lemon or vinegar and oil to dress her salad but no.......she had to root around in the trash.
I kid you not.
Good for you for skipping the whole thing!

We had a CO that wouldn't eat "foreign" food. Make of that what you will.Thats pretty funny. I guess it never dawned on him that anywhere you go the food from where you previously were is now "foreign" huh?

Closer to Fine
It's interesting. In my jw side of the family there are both. Some are all organic, no gluten, no dies, no chemicals, no vaccines, no medications, and no doctors (some of them no dr. even during childbirth). They don't avoid these items due to allergies. It's more of a distrust of worldly drs and food companies. Others from the same family love junk food. Lots of soda, sugar, white flour, booze, and lots of meds from doctors.Im curious, do you see a difference in how they perceive themselves as spiritual people? Is one side more part of the leadership than the other or another question, does one side seem more superstitious than the other?
