(John 3:16) This is so important to me because I do care. I don't want something to happen to you. Look at it closely. Share it with the family. This is the key to the real ancient Jews. I would like to send you this; it is important. Here is the quail that the people with Moses ate, one of the cleanest animals in the Bible. The Jews ate the quail and died spiritually, although they were allowed to.<br />(Numbers 11:31-35) In the Law of Moses, all animals which ate meat were considered unclean. If a bird ate meat, then it was unclean. The people were allowed to eat animals if they were clean, but in the Bible, to eat means to read. (Revelation 10:8-11) (Ezekiel 3:1-2) What it meant is that if the animal was clean, then the people could read it, and follow its eating habits to find healthy food to eat. I am a real Jew, spiritually and in lineage. Not something to be great by. It is a simple truth. Jews didn't eat meat, they were all Vegan. (2 Corinthians 4:3) That is the truth about Jews. I have also been studying the Talmud on Apostacy and eating meat. This isn’t an attack. Apostacy came upon by going back to meat, even though they were forced to when taken to Babylon. They forgot and went back to sleep like in the book of Jeremiah. All Jews were Vegan. They did not murder animals, and they did not steal from animals. Homey meant wisdom. And milk meant the pure love of scripture, as well as there were other types of milk that the Jews made.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445038240421672350.post-47032294329143422052011-11-16T10:35:59.082+00:002011-11-16T10:35:59.082+00:00You're right, Bibbity Bobbity Boo (great name,...You're right, Bibbity Bobbity Boo (great name, by the way!), I bet they all start out like that!<br /><br />I completely share your frustration, Roisin. That's always going to be the problem with labels like 'feminist', 'vegan', or 'christian'. As soon as people hear them, they presume you subscribe to all of these viewpoints and attitudes that you might not necessarily agree with. (The next time we meet in the pub for a quiet drink, we'll develop a brilliant plan to solve the image problems of both veganism and feminism! Christianity would need an entire pub crawl...)<br /><br />Hi Robb, great to hear from you! Shame we didn't bump into each other at the vegan festival (though we may have and not known it, as I bumped into a lot of people in that crowded hall!).<br /><br />I've experienced the same isolation you feel, and that was partly what prompted me to start this blog. I wonder what the connection is between religious beliefs and attitudes towards animals? It would seem logical that a belief in a loving God would lead to the compassionate treatment of animals, but I wonder whether this is not the case because of the central place of the human being in most faith systems? If humans are seen as 'different' to animals, or of particular significance, perhaps that makes people think that animals are beneath us and not worthy of our time/consideration. This is a very odd leap of logic to make, though, because you could also argue that if humans are particularly significant then they have meaningful responsibilities that go with that significance, such as acting with compassion and mercy towards fellow living things. It's a shame that many people (with faith or not) seem to embrace the former attitude rather than the latter.<br /><br />Many Hindus and Buddhists are of course vegetarian, as Ahimsa (nonviolence) is an important aspect of their faith. It's interesting in relation to what I've just said about placing the human being as centrally important, actually, as neither of these faiths really do that, seeing everything as connected. A discussion for another blog post, perhaps!<br /><br />Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, it's great to have you all as readers!<br /><br />Peace and love,<br /><br />Hayles xHayleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15600396628935878685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445038240421672350.post-84680662947876701942011-11-14T01:52:49.811+00:002011-11-14T01:52:49.811+00:00Hi Hayles,
I first came across your blog a couple...Hi Hayles,<br /><br />I first came across your blog a couple of years ago, but I actually thought you'd stopped posting - so it's good to see a bunch of new entries since I visited last. <br /><br />Having travelled up to the West Midlands festival, I wish I'd known you were going to be there. As a Christian(ish) vegan, it's even easier to feel isolated. It's not just that few vegans I know are Christian (I can only think of one other) but (aside from a handful of Jains) most are anti-religion. It'd be nice to know more vegans with *any* kind of faith...<br /><br />Funnily enough, I've been having similar-sounding conversations about veganism's image problem. I think there is a place for shock-tactics, and that they can work for some people. Horses for courses, if you'll pardon the terribly non-vegan metaphor. But personally I prefer "pro-vegan" to "anti-carnist" messages. <br /><br />OK, I've subscribed to updates this time, so I shouldn't miss any posts in future. ;)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />RobbRobbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04356683525998098216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445038240421672350.post-27332790973519236002011-11-01T10:19:58.752+00:002011-11-01T10:19:58.752+00:00Yes!

I don't want to diss my fellow vegetarians/feminists (or indeed, vegetarian feminists!) but it just makes it too easy for the people who want to marginalise what you're actually saying by reverting to stereotypes.Roisinhttp://dollyclackett.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445038240421672350.post-65751734939736291322011-10-30T15:18:57.895+00:002011-10-30T15:18:57.895+00:00I'm not a fan of the gruesome t-shirt things s...I'm not a fan of the gruesome t-shirt things some stalls sell either.<br /><br />I also wish all the Goody sweets were completely vegan!<br /><br />I am planning on travelling before I start rescuing for the very reasons that women said...I probably won't have a huuuuge sanctuary though, but I suppose that is what they all start out as! "Oh we'll just take in the 2..." Then 2 becomes 4 and next minute you've got 400!<br /><br />I just like to get my fill of vegan chocolate!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
