Err . . a problem

[gracefullamb]

I went to a vegan potlock at a SDA assembly/church in my area. There was no meat.

Do SDAs not eat meat and if they don't what is the reasoning?

ETA: yes I get that meat wouldn't be at a vegan potluck, I am just wondering if there was a reason they had a vegan only potluck as opposed to just a potluck.

Ohhh, my----maybe I should warn you about going to any non--protestant church!! Yes, our potlocks are mostly vegan, we beleive that we are healthier eating a diet that is closer to what God orginally had in mind--and leave the animals to other animals--but some of us do eat some eat, but stick to the "clean meats" as outlined in the bible. We also avoid caffeine and alcohol. I did not notice that this was an Eastern Orthodox thread, so I guess they can go ahead and bash us!! I do keep forgetting to check which forum the post is under. Sorry. I will bow out. My, I did not know we inspired such fear!

That's very interesting and sounds very reasonable.

Huh, no kidding. Thank you for answering, I really had no idea, actually about anything the SDA church believes or its history.

Yeah...I guess humor doesn't translate well in this format, especially sarcasm.

OT- how could you end up in this thread without knowing it's an EO forum? Are you patrolling CF for key words or something?

I caught this post on the "New Posts" link at the top.

Oddly, I've been using this forum for years and never noticed that link

I can never get the multi quote thing to work either, but that's a different subject!

 

[Ortho_Cat]

For multi quote, just click MQ for the posts u want to multiquote, (it holds those) then click Post reply (not post quick reply, that won't work).

 

[Joshua G.]

ahhhh.... thanks.

I tried that several times by clicking MQ and then QR, but nothing happened.

Try clicking MQ on Post 1, then click MQ on Post 2, then Click Quote on post 2. Both quoted posts will show up on the screen you type your response in. This is the only way it works for me.

 

[MariaRegina]

Trying that now.

Doesn't look like anything took.

Edit: No it did not work for me. Crankly little thing.

We usually have a vegetarian potluck (plus fish, so it aint vegan) during Lent.

I hope you appreciate our sense of humor. I actually used to visit an SDA grocery/book store in Glendale, but I think the grocery part of the store is no longer in business. They had some good stuff for sale.

Okay, Kristos, I finally got this thingy to work, but here was how I did it.

Click MQ for post 1
Click MQ for post 2
Then click QUOTE and all the posts appear, and it is ready to be analyzed.

 

[MariaRegina]

That's unique for the poultry industry in Italy.

Oh really, I did not know that.

Yes, but I would hardly go to Italy asking for "un poulet" since they don't speak French there.

Yes, do not ask for burro in Italy expecting a donkey, you will get butter.

An SDA Assembly might have dispensation on this issue according to Ellen G White.

Oh yes, Ellen G. White is like the SDA Pope-Founder, isn't she?

~~~~~

Okay, it worked again:

MQ for first post
MQ for second post. etc.
QUOTE for final post

Works like a charm.

Ugh, I just noticed I originally typed QR, that is quick reply. I should have typed Quote. The way you just did it is the way I have to do it.

Okay, now your just having too much fun with it.

Just figured that "multiquote" thing out also.

I did it quite by accident, hitting QUOTE, that is.
And the rest is history.
