Old time JW's did some very devout JW's refuse to eat pizza with pepperroni because they believed "blood" was in the pepperroni?

LOL!!!
If only these JWs had seen the Bethel Kitchen on LIVER days. Two Bethelites cleaning and slicing hundreds of pounds of bloody liver in basins wearing rubber aprons drenched in blood....ahemm ......"blood fractions".
Opinion of governing body members on Kosher techniques to reduce blood? "Naw..too expensive".

In Australia in the 80's a lot of sisters stopped wearing lipstick, may have been a certain brand - (I wasnt allowed to wear lipstick anyway, only whores wore it. lol) apparently it had blood in it. What a bunch of bloody fruit loops. I cant believe that just a few yrs ago I wouldnt buy blood n bone for the garden.... so sad.

isn't it true that at bethel or on the farm if they cracked open an egg that had a little red matter in it, the whole egg was trashed?
You didn't do that too?!
Here we were required to crack eggs into a bowl first and inspect them prior to using. Those who didn't were said to be "unfaithful in the little things".
That Satan is sure tricky! He can even infect your cookies.
We were advised to prefer kosher foods because they were more likely to be blood-free.

you're not a born in are u wasblind. Neither am I.________Wha Happened
Born ins who left are the smartest folk ever, they knew somethin' was wrong , they felt it in their bones
As for me. What excuse do I have for bein' a damn fool
These folk tried to make me wipe out everything I had ever known
to buy into their lies
They told me, My daughter's time would be well spent in fieldservice
rather than go to college. All the while the Elders sent thier daughters
the lowly class should not ????
That I should not attempt to save her life through a blood transfusion
she would be better off a dead martyr
that I should abandon her if she is not in line wit the WTS
That I needed to lessen my contact wit my siblings who were
a danger to my study
But If I got sick, they are obligated to take care of me because
they are my siblings
How screwed up is that, Dis my sisters until I need 'em??????
how selfish

Oh dear gawd yes, this brings up memories. Took so much more time to grocery shop having to read all those labels only to have to put the offending food back on the shelf. It was all so stupid. I can't believe I bought into all this crap! -Leslie-

Yes, that blood in the wine episode left many dubs scratching their heads and worried over which one to choose for the annual M.
They just couldn't have THE wine polluted with...dare I say...blood

I had forgotten about the "blood is in soft ice cream" idiocy. My mom and dad loved the stuff, so I guess that's why my mom never bought into that one. Or maybe my dad finally spoke up about how ridiculous JWs were.We'd go for regular runs to DAiry Queen, filling my mom's huge cadillac with all the neighbourhood kids.
And the lipstick one, too - we had that here as well.
I have to say that learning to read labels is something I consider a good thing. I like to know what's in the food I purchase. I think the push to label foods actually forced manufacturers to be more diligent about the kind of stuff they put into food. At least now you can buy some weiners that are not just disgusting by-product filler but contain real meat. I still don't like them, though (agree with Shamus). It's hard when you grow up with such a strong antipathy to certain foods.
