  this is not a thread to gain sympathy.

  my life has changed dramatically over the weekend.

  my husband (hoboken) has just left me and my two boys.. i'm not going to divulge all the details, but needless to say things are very tough emotionally for all of us.

  Blood Fractions - following quote from the Reasoning Book

  by insearchoftruth in

  2. medical

  when i asked the elder about blood fractions he said that they are allowed because the bible does not speak directly to fractions....well if the bible does not speak directly to fractions, upon what did they base the below statement in the reasoning from the scriptures book....... .

  animal flesh may be eaten, but not the blood.

  gen. 9:3,4: "every moving animal that is alive may serve.

  "yeah, and if my doctor told me to abstain from meat, would it be allright for me to get a liver transplant?"

  Good statement, I guess along those lines, if following that logic a vegetarian would not be able to get organ transplants......

  So taking this change in doctrine a step further, can a JW now eat blood sausage, coagulated duck blood (chinese food) amongst other things, as long as the blood in the recipe is taken from the allowed fractions......

  Question sarcastic in nature....but still am wondering?

  Animal flesh may be eaten, but not the blood
  Gen. 9:3,4: "Every moving animal that is alive may serve
  as food for you. As in the case of green vegetation, I do give
  it all to you. Only flesh with its soul-its blood-you must
  not eat."
  Any animal used for food should be properly bled. One
  that is strangled or that dies in a trap or that is found after
  it has died is not suitable for food. (Acts 15:19,20; compare
  Leviticus 17:13-16.) Similarly, any food to which whole
  blood or even some blood fraction has been added should not
  be eaten.
