  Because of the folowing scripture (Lev 3:17) the Jehovahs Witnesses have decided to take the other part of this scripture with sincere regard as they have the blood issue. And from now on Jehovahs Witnesses will be disfellowshopped for partaking any blood or blood by product and Bacon, Sausage and any meat containing fat!

  The Governing Body has decided that it is in good faith to regard the whole scripture in stead of half of it! In recent news Greasy Spoons across the country our outraged as it will affect business dramatically between the hours of 9am and 12pm as Jehovahs Witnesses flock to the diners during Service hours!

  Dennys Restaurant issued a serious statement saying that the implications may not be as bad as the pancake sales are expected to rise!

  Seriously though Beans, are you kidding? I dought the WTS would really enforce that. But, then again....it sure would bring about a more healthy diet.

  Can you get an airfreshener with the aroma of bacon? What a great dub repellant! Just a little spritz as they're walking up to your door and they'll scurry away for fear of being contaminated. I gotta get some of that.

  Back in the day a person could eat the fat and meat or an animal but if that animal was to be giving up to God then like Able did in the beginning you give God the Very Best which is the fat.Like chicken the skin is the best part. In other words you give God the fat of the one animal for that day however you can eat the fat of another animal that isn't going to be sacrifice. That rule only applys to the animal that is sacrifice or will be put on the alter. The Other animals that will not be going onto the alter the meat skin and fat may be eaten just not the blood.However Jesus was the end of the law so no more animal sacrifices. That means we don't have to ask "Is this fat/meat/skin on this Chicken etc going to be sacrifice put on the alter to God or if NOT then we can take it home an cook it up because they are using another animal or it was done early today by someone else with some other animal not this one". So if you have two animals one would be used for the sacifice giving the meat/fat etc, the other animal may be eaten the fat/meat/ skin etc only the blood you must not eat it must be drained out.

  Think that sums it all up folks
