"ABSTAIN from...fornication, and blood." (page 2)

Yeah but what would constitute a fraction of fornication?

asilentone

it is "okay" for a JW to do it but repent after it is done?

Witness 007

Very very good point....all touchy feely for Non Married people is fornication.....there are NO EXEPTIONS! THIS IS NOT A CONSCIENCE MATTER!

But with Abstaining from blood we can bend the rules due to all the horrid press the Watchtower society gets from this issue. A "blood blowjob" {Fractions} are considered a "conscience matter."

excactly 007

perhaps a lurvv injection is a concience matter!!

Heaven

If they start to allow 'fornication fractions', how do you think the 'Fornication Liason Committee' will be run?

Witness 007

People with special "medical needs" should be allowed Fornication fractions to save their lives if their concience allows it.

The JWs leaders' ruling okaying the use of blood fractions is based on their
ruling about things offered to idols--they're okay to eat as long as you're far
enough away from the idol temple for it to not be idolatry. Fractions of blood
are likewise far enough away from being whole blood for the use of them to be
okay. Therefore, you can have sex as long as it's with the individual parts of
a person, or far enough away from the person, so as not to be having sex with
the whole person. For instance, Adam and Eve weren't considered sinners when
all they'd done with regard to the snake was oral--only once they swallowed.

Bonus: symbolism of an expose of a JWs leader (apologies to HB):

P.S.: that's why there's a rule against eating from things that are strangled,
which some confuse as being related to the blood concern. (Sorry.)

The key to understanding this text is the "and" You can't do the two together. So you can fornicate all you want but not with a woman while she is menstruating. Bob (trained in WT reasoning class)
