Blood pudding Watchtower style

WTS recipe for conscientiously making and eating blood pudding: Use dehydrated blood.

It’s just that simple. Here is why:

According to WTS policy, JWs can use fractions of red cells, white cells, platelets and plasma. Know what? Each of those components has some water in them. Of what significance is that? Simple. Once dehydrated only a fraction of each component is left, the part without water. So, if JWs use dehydrated blood for making blood pudding then they can conscientiously serve it for a meal during the next visit of the circuit overseer. Naturally, the circuit overseer does not have to eat it, but neither can he complain about it. All the homemaker has done is put perfectly good blood fractions to use.

I know this all sounds bizarre, but by the letter of WTS law, them is the facts.

You make a good point. However unless I am wrong red cells, white cells, platelets are all still banned as is. Only when they are broken down are the acceptable. This is perhaps the most stupidest rule Jehovah's Witnesses have. Blood was banned by the Jews just like eating pigs was. So why do Jehovah's Witnesses eat pigs and not use blood?

Brother Shilmer, you just don't get it. Look into my eyes:

Do you remember the Disney character Jiminy Cricket? Remember his theme song?

"Give a little whistle ... and always let your conscience be your guide!"

Now read my lips:

Jehovah=Governing Body
Example: Wait on Jehovah = Wait on the GB (no running ahead)

Bible=Governing Body
Example: Bible-trained conscience = GB-trained conscience

Makes it simple, doesn't it? You don't have to think any more; you have someone to do it for you.

Shilmer, LET THE GB BE YOUR CONSCIENCE!

Bizarre? Your recipe makes perfect sense to me, 'cause I read that 10/15/00 Question from Readers and I understood it perfectly. What's the big deal?

Hey! I have an idea--you heard of Ben & Jerry's? We could make it Max & Marvin's. Pudding, that is.

jayhawk,

Yes, they are banned as is. But that was my point. Once they are dehydrated they are no longer "as is," they are but a fraction of what they were. The June 15, 2000 Watchtower spells out how accepting fractions of blood components is up to each person’s conscience. The WTS does not indicate what percentage of a component is acceptable, only that a fraction is acceptable.

Maximus,

I hear ya! All I can say is, "They wish." :)

Ok, I follow what you are saying now. Do you have a recipe that includes dehydrated blood? It is worth a try.

Yes. Take dehydrated blood, add water, and whatever else a known recipe indicates. A little douse of spirits might help too. :)

Thanks Marvin, for the very simple example of WTBS reasoning! Easy to remember too when 'reasoning against the WT' with still-in-the-org family.

Marvin,

Cough, cough, cough

One slight point of clarification,

You indicated that white blood cells are apparrently banned.

However, white blood cells can be taken in mother's milk, cow's milk, organ transplants and finally as a transfusion as long as the person call's them a peripheral autographing procedure.

I guess this leads me to a question - how can you ban white blood cells in some cases but not in other cases?

Answer - the ends justify the means!!!!

The "Water Murderers"

Dub to well-informed Householder (HH): We are Jehovah's Witnesses and everything in our religion is Bible based.

HH: Everything?

Dub: Yes, everything.

HH: What about blood transfusions?

Dub: Bible based: "abstain from blood," and we do just that.

HH: Can't you take some fractions of blood?

Dub: well, yes, but only only because fractions of blood is not the blood itself. It's sorta like a kid who is served a bowl of vegetable soup. If the kid only likes the peas out of all of vegetables and only eats the peas from the soup, is the kidding actually eating the vegetable soup? Ha, ha! Gotcha!

HH: I see. But if the kid ate all the vegetables in the soup, but didn't eat the broth, the kid wouldn't be eating the "soup," either, would he?

Dub: well, not technically.

HH: so, since blood is more than 3/4 water, when the water is removed, you end up with dehydrated blood fractions, don't you? And according to your reasoning, blood cannot really be blood unless it has water, right?

Dub: yes, but when those blood fractions are separated from each other, it's not blood anymore. We still abstain from blood just as the Bible commands.

HH: No, you abstain from the pure WATER that USED to be part of blood, nitwit. You've let thousands and thousands of people die because they took WATER. You destroy families and lives by booting people out of your Cult because they took WATER.

HH: so, where does Bible say, "abstain from WATER?" You did say your religion is based 100% based on the Bible, didn't you?

Dub: I suppose the chances of you accepting these magazines I'm offering today would be out-of-the-question, huh?

HH: not until your religion stops murdering people over water, you moron.

(Besides that, the whole idiotic notion of banning blood transfusions is not even Biblical:
