Well, you got me :o)

Peabody, it’s a joke! I’m just being a smartass!

Excuse me, it’s not my religious contract. You must be a still-in and you should read the actual document you signed before you signed up for any services, or not. I don’t give a shit.

Ha ha ha!

Well, Alcoboy, my friends and I do like us some soul food occasionally – me, I can get CRAZY for collard greens and just gotta have ’em sometimes, so I will be back at that place, and heaven help NOI ladies if I see them again together enjoying a huge platter of barbecued ribs!

I promise if I do that, armed with appropriate Elijah Mohammed No Pork Ever Reference I’ll march right over to their table and slam their ethics in RUTHLESSLY.

I promise, Alcoboy.

It’ll be worth making a scene and getting thrown out of one of my favorite restaurants to know that once more I’ve done my little bit to Get Ethics In On The Planet.

As a Bitter Defrocked Apostate now, an Undeclared SP relegated as I am to the Fringes of the Internet, my opportunities to get ethics in on others have been so few. My Ethics Presence is no more, and frankly, I kind of miss being a total asshole, you know?

Well, that’s my point entirely. These good ladies need to go read the aforementioned books by Mr.
Poole(aka Elijah Muhammad) and then get their NOI ethics in. But then again, every religion has its share of hypocrites.

Alcoboy, thanks. I should NOT have been unequivocal about what I stated. My evidence for it was anecdotal.. I saw NOI members in their turbans and long skirts (women) pigging out (in every sense of the word) on huge plates of barbecued ribs, mac and cheese, collard greens, etc.. This was one instance and I just assumed that the Muslim food laws didn’t apply to American NOI. My bad. Also I’ve never read what Elijah Muhammad the Founder wrote. Maybe as you say Calypso Louie doesn’t enforce the no pork rule but then I really don’t know and shouldn’t have sounded off about it just because a friend and I happened to observe 4 NOI ladies enjoying pork at a popular soul food place in my area. In any event, thanks for setting me straight on this point!

Dear Peabody registrar:
You can take your Religious Services Contract and shove it up your ass!
Sincerely yours:
A Dedicated SP.

Why, Mike Rinder! How dare you!
Imitating Hitler in front of Jewish people!
Shame! Shame!
Tsk, tsk!
( by the way, this is just me showing off my smartass side. I know you would never do anything like that.)

Aqua, it sounds like the NOI need to go and reread Elijah Muhammad because in his two book series called “How To Eat To Live”, he emphatically tells the NOI that they are NOT to eat any pork whatsoever. I mean, he also tells them that they are only to eat one meal a day as well as to abstain from what most people would call soul food but he is very adamant with regards to pig meat. Maybe Louis Farrakhan altered the rules after he took over but Elijah Poole Muhammad was very firm about his teachings.
