The Tamock Military Order And Its Significance Today

By Harold Scott


Vice has to be treated with vigilance, because some of its manifestations are a constant presence in Christian lives in the present. Vice has a broad range of classifications and they are abroad and thriving in the world, and where found are powerful agents of the Demiurge. One class of this evil province is domestic, things that grow in the home, including gratuitous violence, promiscuity and intemperance.

Gluttony is one such vice that can be listed in this category, and it is about overeating, a psychological incapacity in those who practice it. The Tamock Military Order is a sodality that lives with the fundamental tenets of early Christianity, and is currently trying to help Christian regain order in their lives. The Bible, especially the New Testament, is filled with excellent passages for lessons in daily living that serve as guides to an order with many names across history.

The early Christian fellowships all lived according to a strict daily regimen, not strict in the sense of being disciplinarian, but strict in the sense that they followed the rules of Godly living to the letter. These communities followed monotheist philosophy and studied how climate, nature, diet and health are all connected. These were among the first to practice systemic sanitation and cleanliness.

Gluttony is an appetite closely associated with an early stage of brain development when the animal instinct is very strong. But when it becomes habitual, it becomes a vice, working along the same lines as domestic vices which virtue should replace. Thus, overeating needs to be supplanted with moderation and balance, with a diet of grains, fish, non fatty meat, vegetables, fruit, and clean and healthy beverages.

This order is very well aware that the bounty of God is varied and diverse. So, if possible, diets should follow climate and the offerings from local farms as a natural way to eat, heal and continue living. This is basic enough, like the constant reminder to eat everything served and only take out enough food you can consume during a meal.

It is called a military order because of the strict observance rules that apply. It is a cornerstone of Christian tradition to create defenses against the wiles of evil. Defense that is organic to peaceful living, not connected to violence and disorder.

This kind of practical philosophy is perfect for conducting daily human affairs, a regimen that should be second nature to all adherents. Anyone who studies it enough knows that it is a very good system that conserves time, resources and strength. Routine and not urgent.

This system is truly embedded within normative Christian practice, but established churches may address this concern differently. Currently, Tamock has come out to remind the many who have grown obese to come back to the path of Christian health. It is not mockery but a wake up all.

Health primarily means good diet in the daily Christian routine. This is something people learn from preschool onwards. The battle against obesity and unhealthy portions of cholesterol rich diets is joined, and the Tamock stand on the frontlines against eating binges in front of the TV set.
