    Do you guys remember when medical scientists, back in the 1970s were figuring out how to successfully re-attach severed body parts, found that when leeches were placed on the reattached parts it dramatically improved the "take..." ....so, much so that it was hailed as significant breakthrough?

    Of course the kill-joys-ers in Brooklyn had to weigh in on a topic they were ill equipped to handle and they declared something to the effect that...'in the light of the Biblical prohibitions on the proper use of blood, it would be wrong for a Christian to allow leeches to "feed" on their blood...even if it was part of a medical procedure..."

    This was one of the many things that ate (LOL...no Freudian slip there...) at me at me while I was still a "good" Dub. Talk about a retarded view of God, the Bible, "creation" and the function for which living things are equipped.

    A LEECH HAS NO OTHER FUNCTION THAN TO SUCK BLOOD...I mean for Christ's sake even if you are a hardcore creationist, how do you get past that one? But NO...Christians (according to the GB) should impose God's laws to man on the rest of the world's species?????

    And too bad I didn't see the GB's projectionist condemnation of the leeches...

    So, now is a df'ing offense to refrain from using insect repellent or God forbid, to get bitten by mosquitoes?

    Man----if those leeches were baptised, they should be disfellowshipped for eating blood. Free Smiley Face

    Isn't the BORG's reasoning goofy on the leeches?

    It's just absolutely staggering.

    Come on, people, the reason is so, er, bloody obvious...

    Before the fall of man, in the garden of Eden, leeches drank fruit juice. After God condemned man, Satan began to try to corrupt animals as well. He managed to get the mosquitoes & leeches to switch over to blood before God caught on and said "SssssT! That's enough o' that!"

    During the 1000 year reign, leeches and mosquitos will go back to sucking on pomegranates.

    This will all be in the "new scrolls" that will be opened then.

    Actually, if my memory serves me right, there were a few Golden Age articles that taught that Satan actually "created" mosquitos and other nuisances. Pretty bizarre.

    Baptised or not, leeches certainly are "bad associations."

    They can't sing for shit, either.

    "We're Je-ho-vah's lee-ee-ches,

    We grab hold and suck your blood..."

    It is also a DF offense to abuse blood by using fertilisers containing it. (Its in a Witchtower!)

    Isn't this just returning the blood to the ground as commanded?

    Maybe if you just put ONE blood fraction at a time onto your garden that will be OK?

    Same with leeches - only let it take the clotting factor, then the gamma globulin.... blah blah blah...
