Taryn Knows All

[sugaree]

Maybe she meant she adds ginger or something but doesn't buy the little pre-mixed jar labeled "pumpkin pie spice"?

Taryn seems to treat Internet communications as if they a verbal exchanges happening in real time. I think most of her stream of consciousness thoughts make sense if you find the exact sentence within the blog entry that she responding to.

[Gizmola]

Maybe instead of pumpkin pie spice it's a bit of LSD or pot. Her writing reminds me of myself when high (on pot, not acid) - I tend to ramble in response to random thoughts in my head unheard by others.

I think Taryn is amazing. I dread the day she takes pills to correct her brain chemistry for that's when the magic will end.

I think it's a bit like live blogging, except she doesn't hit the send key until she has finished responding to six different comments. :P

[bananacat]

Wait, why does Taryn's daughter-in-law have a job? She's not a very good fundie if her son isn't being a good headship and forcing his wife to stay home and serve him. Something's fishy here. Maybe she is a Poe and has just given us a clue.

[Jessica]

I just read that out loud to my husband and he's now in the kitchen contemplating which drug she's on. I can hear him muttering to himself. "That's like someone on LSD. No, no that's not LSD, that's do blahblahblahblahblahblah-y, that's more like crack". LOL!!!

[ilovetchotchkes]

Oooh, what else is Bible-clean? :lol: That might be my new favourite phrase! Is alligator Bible-clean? Goose? Kangaroo? Giraffe? Goat? Octopus? Snake? Squirrel? Possum? Gorilla?

Salad is Bible-clean, as long as it doesn't contain shrimp. My MIL(72) likes shrimp. I saw a whole shrimp with all its legs, and now I don't like shrimp. But that's okay because it's not Bible-clean(healthy). My husband(42) likes shrimp. I don't feed it to him, but he eats it at restaurants. I used to like restaurants. We went back and saw the kitchen of a restaurant once. I don't like restaurants anymore. Cookies are a treat. I didn't let my children watch Sesame Street, but my grandchildren watch it.

Random utterly useless fact of the evening , erm morning as its 2:30 am where I am: Giraffe is actually a kosher animal.

I was looking at Candy's-not-a-blog today again, and Taryn commented again in much more Taryn-ese

I don't add ginger or cloves to my pumpkin pie, like the recipe says to on the canned pumpkin. I do add cinnamon and my children say it's the best pumpkin pie they have tasted. I read last night over at the Duggarfamily web site(they have links to Gothard and the Pearls-two "ministries" I don't like) that they use the canned pumpkin to make pies. They did try using pumpkins to start but it didn't turn out right. I always used the canned pumpkin. I do recommend the two Duggar books. Have you read Mary Pride's article at home-school.com-Patriarchy,Meet Matriarchy,?-Taryn

Glad to hear she doesn't like the Pearls, though!

That actually kind of makes sense and she doesn't give the children's ages! Taryn, where art thou?

Fascinating! Thanks for that! What about the other animals? Yay or nay? Giraffes are endangered? I didn't know that. :cry: I love giraffes.

[rockytop]

Because I was bored and also curious: Alligator (no). Goose (yes). Kangaroo (no). Giraffe (yes). Goat (yes). Octopus (no). Snake (no). Squirrel (no). Possum (no). Gorilla (no). That's a whole lot of unclean animals you just listed.

Thanks! Also fascinating. ;) Hmmm, I wonder what's wrong with alligator, kangaroo, octopus, snake, squirrel, and possum? I'm glad to hear, however, that gorilla is a no.

[Patsy]

I'm also curious about squirrel and possum. I'm guessing kangaroo chew the cud, and while they don't have hooves, that means that don't have uncloven hooves?

Gorilla is strange. Why are gorillas unclean? I mean, yay, don't eat gorillas, but what is it about them?

[emmiedahl]

I believe a four legged animal with paws is considered unclean unless we are told otherwise in Leviticus. Not sure, though.

[anniebgood]

Too bad about gator. A little stringy but it tastes a lot like chicken.

Bibically clean and unclean foods from the bibal;

http://www.christianwalks.org/churchgod ... nclean.htm

God created certain animals that can be used for food and others that are unfit to eat. "Clean" foods are those which in their natural state do not harm the human body. "Unclean" foods are those which are unhealthy for the body.

(DEUT 14:3-21) You are not to eat any abominable thing. And these are the creatures which you can eat; the ox, the sheep, the goat, the hart, the roebuck, the fallow deer, the wild goat, the antelope, and the wild ox. And every creature that has parted hoofs or separates the cleft into to two, and chews the cud among all creatures, them you can eat. And these are those you cannot eat from among those that chew the cud, or that divide the hoof; the camel, and the hare, and the coney, for they chew the cud, but do not have a divided hoof, they are therefore unclean for you. Also the swine, because it does not have a divided hoof, even though it chews a cud it is unclean for you, you cannot eat of them. These you can eat that are in all the waters; all that have fins and scales you can eat. Anything that does not have fins and scales you cannot eat, it is unclean for you. And you can eat any clean fowl but these you cannot eat: the eagle, the ossifrage, the osprey, the glede, the kite, the vulture, the raven, the owl, the hawk, the cuckoo, the swan, the pelican, the stork, the cormorant, the heron, and the bat. And all creeping things that can fly are unclean, they are not to be eaten. All clean fowls you may eat.

(GEN 1:29)

God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every fruit tree containing seeds to be your food.

(LEV 3:17)

It will be an everlasting law for your generations in all their dwellings, that you can not eat fat or blood.

(LEV 7:23-24)

You cannot eat any kind of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat. But the fat of any animal that dies by itself or is killed by other animals, can be used for other uses but you can not eat it.

(LEV 7:26)

Also you cannot eat any type of blood, whether it be from fowl or mammal, in any of your homes.

(LEV ll:All) Read it all.

Below is a list of foods, defined in the Bible, as being Clean and Unclean.

These laws are known as health laws, and are the means for achieving a healthier life.

In the beginning man ate fruits and vegetables, but later started eating meat. God made known what meats where unhealthy through the laws of clean and unclean foods long before there was a nation of Israel, even before Noah's time, as seen in Genesis 7:2 and 7:8.

It is a well know fact today, that these same unclean foods are known to be unhealthy.

But you say, what about the following verse from scripture?

(Deut 12:15) Notwithstanding thou mayest kill and eat flesh in all thy gates, whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

This is one of the most misinterpreted verses on this subject, because of the food laws being well know in their nation they did not keep unclean animals around for food, so they would not have found it in their gates. It is speaking of the unclean person eating with the clean person during this time. Normaly an unclean person was not allowed to eat with those that where clean.

(Deut 15:22) "Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean [person] and the clean person shall eat it alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart "

How clear it becomes now.

We should take note that these are very clearly laws to be obeyed.

(ISA 66:17)Of them that bless themselves, or purify themselves in the gardens hiding behind a tree, eating swine's flesh, and the other abominations, such as the mouse, will be consumed together does say the Lord.

As shown with this verse God does condemn those that eat of what is considered an abomination. Isaiah 65:4 tells us that eating swine and other abominable things provokes the Lord to anger.

For those that would say these laws where only for the people of Israel at that time, take note that animals where regarded as clean or unclean during the time of Noah (Gen 7:2) before Israel existed.

Take it as you want. :whistle:

[StarrieEyedKat]

I mean, yay, don't eat gorillas

I have no idea why, but this tickled the hell out of my funny bone. Still chuckling.

[Aurora]

I wonder what the KJV "swan" referred to?

[FundiesInMyFamily]

Someone had better call J'Uterus and tell her that all that Squirrel stew is unclean!

[uber frau]

I wonder what the KJV "swan" referred to?

No reason why it couldn't be just a swan. There are species of swan can be found around the Mediterranean and in Eurasia.

[Lainey]

I have no idea why, but this tickled the hell out of my funny bone. Still chuckling.

The reason I said I'm glad gorillas are considered unclean is because they're too much like us! :shock: Them and monkeys. Isn't eating something like that where AIDS came from?

Take it as you want. :whistle:

I know it's not from you, ladypuglover, but I have to say: rabbits/hairs/coneys don't chew their cud. Also, where is it a well-known fact that these unclean foods are known to be unhealthy?

[Aurora]

Yes, I don't see why either, but there's a line somewhere in the middle of Ladypuglover's post saying that it's a mistranslation and refers to something else, presumably another bird species, so now I'm curious!

They don't exactly chew the cud as such, but they do "re-process" a special kind of "poo" so it goes through their system a second time (they are basically coprophagic). If that had been observed in biblical times, it could easily have made them appear unclean. Also kangaroos don't chew the cud but maybe they're considered unclean just because they resemble no type of animal mentioned in the bible? In which case, platypuses and echidnas would be even worse!
