Um, I like Quaker Oats and I know they're pacifists. That's about it.
There's a city with a Quaker Oats plant about an hour from here. Sometimes it smells horrible when you drive through. Not sure why.
Nevermind, then. Lol
I'm sure the oats are still okay to consume(well, I hope they are), its probably some process... I just wonder what it is.
They know a good biscuit when they see one.
What does a Quaker approve biscuit consist of?
Varies.
He also believed music to be sinful
Why naked?
I done forgot. But i cant see why not it's fun being naked.
I strongly dislike it.
I think it had something to do with shocking the masses so they'd listen and maybe some symbolism on being low before God
My senior public and high school years were all at a boys private boarding school run by Quakers in Newmarket, Ontario. See campus picture below. These were the happiest times of my young life, I gratefully admit it. All of my experience of members of the Society of Friends (I knew lots, and I attended Quakers meetings) were all most positive. Among the least judgemental, and kindest people it has been my pleasure to know.
More on this...lot of early Quakers were against music if written by men. But if the Spirit aka Inner Light wrote it then it was free game. Nice little loop hole. Solomon Eccles was one who believed that and he would write about how amazing making music is while believing if he wrote it outside of the Spirit it was sinful
How could one tell if it was Spirit or Man writing it?
You ever seen someone overtaken by an inner religious experience? It's why the Quakers were known as Quakers. They would quake during worship. I reckon it's based on that inner experience how you could tell.
I've seen a spirit possession, but I'm not sure if that's the same.
