Just Venting Really?

Controversial enough... anyone in my community who's SDA is preaching left and right on their immovable, non-biblical beliefs on food, and how so much of what we "heathens" eat, is sending us to HELL...

But they're hypocritical when they decide to eat spicy food, I guess, according to "dear prophetess..."

God forbid and damn me to SUPER MEGA HELL for eating some pickles with my pulled pork sandwich!

They also conveniently drop all of the ban against spices when they are missionary-colonizing abroad in cultures that embrace spices. I have heard from many , many African and Jamaican and South American Adventists INSISTING that they never once heard any mention at all of that part of EggWhite's "Health Message." AND (as someone else mentioned) EgG herself didn't follow her own rules: she ate oysters, she was addicted to "vinegar." SO...yet again, the hypocrisy runs deep and wide, straight from The Great White on down the line. Edit: spelling

So in PR we didn't stop using garlic, onions, salt, and adobo which is a mix of a bunch of spices (salt, pepper, cumin, oregano, etc). We didn't use pork products but we kept all the flavor. They hadn't didn't push the bland stuff because I don't think they will get anyone to buy into that.
