Will the Watchtower ban Chicken McNuggets?

    Ever heard of transglutaminase? It's also known as meat glue. While banned in the EU it is very commonly used in North America and Australia. It is made from the blood of slaughtered pigs and cows and is used to bind together smaller chunks of pork, beef and chicken into larger pieces. Eye-of-the-round steaks, round roast and chicken nuggets are just some of the common products using meat glue.

    Nick, Nick, Nick........

    How many times must you hear this before you understand. As long as it's only a fragment, it's ok! If Jehovah didn't want us to have meat glue, he would have said so. Besides, it's a conscience matter as to whether one wants to eat poultry or not.

    I just thought of an interesting question......Which is more fragmented- The blood used to fragment out the transglutaminase or the chicken used in the mcnuggets?

    Good Morning Nickolas..

    I remember not being able to eat wieners as a JW Kid,because they had blood products in them..

    Now JW`s can use Blood Fractions..

    By WBT$ reasoning JW`s can eat Blood Sausage..As long as they Only put Blood Fractions in the Blood Sausage..

    Jew`s will take a Blood Transfusion,but they won`t eat sausage with Any Blood in it..

    It`s unfortunate Jews don`t know as much about Old Jewish Laws,as the WBT$..

    They need to get WatchTarded

    For years I couldn't figure out why a Big Mac made my throat phlegm up. Since watching the documentary "Food Inc." and learning about the meat extenders used in all McDonald's and other fast food hamburgers I've become a little more interested in what goes into the stuff I cram down my gullet. The real issue about transglutaminase use is that bacteria count goes up exponentially so you need to make sure you cook products made with it thoroughly.

    The reference to the Watchtower, btw, is tongue in cheek. I should preface my threads with "the sense of humour of the following thread may not appeal to all readers. Reader discretion is advised."

    I'm in the UK so I'm safe. PHEW! Thank you god fearing EU!

    It'll be a 'conscience matter' which in watchtower double speak means 'NO!'

    Here is a magazine I found in my bookbag which should explain..........

    The reference isn`t as far fetched as you may think..

    I didn`t know any JW`s that would eat wieners..I still don`t..They are Taboo in Watchtower World..

    McNuggets could easily go on that list..Even with the Blood Fraction Nonsense..

    Outlaw-

    I have never heard of any Witness that I know not eating hot dogs for any reason. I know about the blood sausage thing, but as a kid, and even as an adult witness, we would have cookouts and have hamburgers and hot dogs. I never knew of a problem with it.

    This reminds me of one thing that I always thought was strange......The WTS used to warn members to look at their pet food and make sure it didn't contain blood. However, the command to abstain from blood was meant for humans, not animals. For God's sake, they kill other animals and eat them blood and all. Anyway, I always thought the dog food thing was stupid.

    The Watchtower better look out if they start messing with McDonalds. McDonalds might buy them out. Change the name of their deity to McHovah and start running coupons for Big Macs in the Watchtower magazine.
