'Amon - talking about blood' from talking about birth and blood believes

last edited March 28, 2024, 10:19 a.m. by Steve

Genre: Expository

Speaker: Amon

Orthographic text

(when our women put a child the pigs eat the blood, the inlaws don't eat -the pig I expect-. Inlaws don't eat it, just those to eat it eat it. If their name is there they eat it, if it isn't they don't. If they eat it we'll see that it doesn't go well. We might sell that pig far away, they'll eat it but inlaws can't. Inlaws can't eat spit or pus we're afraid of becoming bad -meaning sick I guess-)

(if a kid is sick we go to the leaders and put our thinking. We put our thinking and they get better. Tell us about this sick and we'll listen. Sickness hits our kids and your kids. If we break some talk we get sick, but if we put our thinking to the leaders the child will get better. We'll make a wanbel. We wouldn't know what to do so we get the wanbel thinking and do it. We put our thinking and are sorry and give that sorry to God)
