  Everyone loved Devilled Eggs when I would make them too. In fact, now I'm going to go make some to go with potato salad and burgers for dinner tonight.

  The only time you couldn't eat an egg is when it came out of its shell with a blood spot on it. Then you had to discard it, in keeping with God's Laws On The Sanctity Of Blood™.

  Confession time: We had a Bethelite™ from Brooklyn Bethel™ freeloading staying with us for a District Convention™ back in the mid-80s. He expected a full breakfast every morning - just like they got at Bethel™ - before we left for the Sessions™ at the Convention™. (That wasn't part of the deal that I agreed to before he arrived there, but went along because it was only for a couple of days and then we'd never see his skinny ass ever again.) Anyway, he spent the entire Convention™ pretending like he didn't know us while he was scouring the crowds for eligible Sisters™ and going clubbing after the Sessions™. On the Sunday, I was fixing breakfast, and one of the eggs ended up with a big blood spot on it. I was so ticked with him being a freeloading ingrate, that instead of throwing it away, I cooked it (over easy) and then gave it to him. I never told him or Mr Scully what I did, and I wasn't sorry either.

  That's too funny. My dad always told me that the red 'stuff' in the meat package was just 'packing juices.' Guess that's why I like my cow to moo when I eat it.

  Oh bother, it would seem that I screwed up again, sigh.

  I knew about the blood spot but only removed the spot and kept the egg. It is a good thing that it was not the truth after all as I would really be in trouble!

  Imagine....that little drop of blood on your tongue is a sin.........yet if a brother cuts himself a little on his finger and puts that finger in his mouth to clean it ( like some do with a cut), you don't see him running to the elders crying how he broke Jehovahs blood law and need forgivness. What's the difference?

  Gumbloodsucker who's now hungry for some of scullys potato salad!

  When I first went to a convention in 1983 I had one of their muff-n-eggs for breakfast, and wondered if they had some stupid prohibition against egg yolks, since I couldn't find one.

  I should have left then and there. It would have saved a lot of trouble...

  The angel eggs sound good. I love avacados, so maybe I'll try that.

  Do Jehovah's Witnesses eat deviled eggs?

  No they don't and the reason is clear.

  Eggs are part of fertility, and they worry that people will get horny (specially at easter time, now you know why they don't celebrate that) have too many kids and the Paradise will be overcrowded. (due to no one dieing and dead being resurrected and perfect sex like rabbits + animals, such as straw eating lions)

  if say it did get too crowded, i am sure the elders could help cull the numbers.

  I have made deviled eggs many times for cong. get togethers. No one had a problem eating them. I wonder though about when someone eats a rare or med rare cut of meat.

  My ex always ate her steak rare, with the meat lying in a pool of blood juice. She used to get quite annoyed when I pointed out that she shouldn't be eating blood juice.
