PS
If I had a pound…
I’d pound in the morning
I’d pound in the evening,
All over this land!
It’s a pound of silver!
It’s the pound of…
Nope cannot think of more lines.

When people learn that I'm a Quaker, they often ask me if I make oatmeal. It does get slightly annoying after you've been asked 20 times in one day.
I think it's one of those things where, in the words of Sinéad O'Connor, "There isn't any [sastifactory] answer to the question, you only learn to live with it."

I'm more properly an attender (as opposed to a member) but most people don't understand the distinction anyway.djm wrote:You're a Quaker? Really? What's shakin'?

Something else that kinda gets at me is when people speak of Shakers as though they no longer exist, while there are 3 (I think) elderly Believers still living on the Shaker commune in Sabbath Day Lake, Maine.
The United Society Of Believers In Christ's Second Appearing (aka Shakers) is not extinct (yet at least), and it never has been.

I am aware that several bizarre Christian cults still exist, including the Quakers, Shakers and Forsakers. There's that one that does wierd things with snakes - the Snakers? And then there's that whole Bible-Belt trailer park thing in the south. Too silly to totally comprehend, but that's for the Religion thread.

For this reply, you should be banned for life and fined at least twenty million dollars (or however many pounds that equals, probably about 5 with current exchange rates).djm wrote:I am aware that several bizarre Christian cults still exist, including the Quakers, Shakers and Forsakers.

djm, Quakers are a real mainstream Protestant denomination here. It would not be considered unusual for someone to be a Quaker. In my town there is a Quaker church (not the right name I'm sure) and it is not considered at all strange, in the way that snake handlers would be. In the places I have lived they were considered to be on the "liberal" end of the spectrum, if that makes sense.
