Do JW's eat meat that contains blood? (page 2)

Nathan Natas

Hey Coffee, that's an excellent example of JW dogmatic stupidity.

1. Leeches are "designed" to consume blood.

2. Leeches are not obligated to abide by any Jewish laws.

Unless the leeches have a heavenly hope, of course.

Unless they JW's eat only Kosher meat, they are "guilty" of eating blood. Apparently in my wife's old congregation it was thought that you could "cook the blood out." I enjoyed pointing out that all they did was eat cooked blood.

I like cooking with Kosher salt, if you put it on the meat right before you cook it (especially grill it) it actually makes the meat juicier.

I used to not eat rare or medium rare steak so as not to offend my wife's sensibilities about the blood issue ( You're not suppossed to eat blood). Finally, I said to heck with it, The only difference between cooked blood and not so cooked blood is the risk of E-Coli.

Hey Yeru...what's up?....

The Kosher salt....where do I buy it? It sounded tasty when you said it, and when it comes to food and cooking I really don't have the talent.

I like the layout of your avatar, gives it a 3d feel....(a little too much on the patriotic side to my liking though....LOL). Now how much is that photo shoot gonna cost us guys? Or are you running for president?

If there is a point to get from the bible in regards to meat and blood, it is to bleed your kill. That's it. Which is what you normally do anyway when you kill an animal for food.

From what I read here, the witnesses are on overkill and delude themselves into thinking they can remove all blood from the meat, besides they're missing the point. Sure, maybe if I was a witness and heard that a certain company fails to bleed their animals, I would opt for something else, but to go to the extent of trying to decipher food labels, is in my opinion fanatism.

The responsibility lies in the one doing the kill, not the one eating the meat.

Is it possible to eat red meat and eat no blood?

No. Even with the kosher methods 10-20% of the blood remains. So do JW's eat blood or blood products? Yes! Fish for instance, are not drained of blood, head and organs are removed but usually long after they died. Are shellfish or crabs drained of blood? No. Lobster is even boiled alive and to top that oysters are eaten alive! And what about simple milk? It contains millions of white blood cells!

From these examples alone one can see that the biblical command to bleed meat before consuming was ritualistic/symbolic and not meant to prevent blood from entering our digestive system. Were the latter the case God would have commanded christians to abstain from meat, and hence be vegetarians.

....And the lord presented them a carrot. and they all knew it was a carrot for it was orange....

Foreword asked,

"The Kosher salt....where do I buy it?"

Most supermarkets have Kosher salt in the same place where they stock regular table salt. It usually comes in a 3 pound box, usually on the bottom shelf. Kosher salt is plain old sodium chloride, in a crystal that is larger than the typical table salt crystal. It has a much "cleaner" taste than common table salt, because talbe salt usually has iodide and varius "anti-caking agents" blended into it, and they affect the taste.

Give it a try. If you really don't like it - which I think is highly unlikely - you can sprinkle it on your sidewalk next winter to melt the ice.

Roman legionaires were paid with salt; hence the word "salary."

Good salt and fresh ground pepper are two of life's little pleasures. Don't deny yourself.

Thanks Nathan....and LOL....cause when I was writing that, I thought someone would reply "it's right with the salt in the grocery store". I hope it has recipies in the back....LOL....my cooking is disastrous.

Interesting the "salary" bit.....

foreword,

JH prepared the avatar for me as a birthday present, cool, huh?!! (Thanks again JH).

As for cooking, I HIGHLY recommend a Betty Crocker cookbook. FOLLOW the directions...If you're one of those guys that burns water...ya may want to either go out to eat a lot...or marry a good cook.
