Re: la aficion de la pitonisa white a comer ostras
Respondo: Muchas veces yo he tenido tarros de conservas que me han servido para guardar tornillos, clavos y cuanta cosa presten utilidad.
¿Tú sabes para que les podían servir esos envases de latas a nuestras abuelas y tatarabuelas?
Algo de utilidad les debió prestar en esos años.
¿Puedes explicar entonces por qué su hijo asegura que ella tomó caldo de ostras? ¿Crees que él era un mentiroso?
"Once when Ellen White was ill, her son, W. C. White, reports that she was encouraged to drink a little oyster broth to settle her stomach. She is said to have tried a spoonful or two, but then refused the rest." Manuscript Release No. 852, P. 2
¿Puedes explicar entonces por qué el White Estate dice que es muy probable que EGW comía ostras y no dice que ella pedía las latas para guardar tornillos?
"There is however, evidence that at one point in her life Mrs. White most likely ate some oysters. In 1882, when she was living at Healdsburg, California, she wrote a letter to her daughter-in-law, Mary Kelsey White, in Oakland, in which she made the following request: “Mary, if you can get me a good box of herrings, fresh ones, please do so. These last ones that Willie got are bitter and old. If you can buy cans, say, half a dozen cans, of good tomatoes, please do so. We shall need them. If you can get a few cans of good oysters, get them.” MR852 2.3
Luego tenemos esto en el "Review and Herald" del año 1883 (un año después que EGW le pidió a su nuera algunas "latas de buenas ostras"):
OYSTERS.
Are oysters included among the unclean animals of Lev-. 11, and do you think it wrong to eat them? E. L.
Ans. It is difficult to decide with certainty whether oysters would properly come under the prohibition found in Lev. 11 : 9-12. It would, however, seem from the language, as if they might. If they do, then there would be undoubtedly some natural reason for the discrimination against them. Some have thought that such a reason is found in both their habits in the matter of feeding and the circumstance that it is necessary to eat them just as they are found in the native state without separating from them the viscera.
¿Me puedes explicar por qué tú no crees que ella comía ostras si los ASD no sabían con seguridad si las ostras eran animales inmundos?
