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

  i have never heard this before until i read a life story of an ex-jws and how some jws in the past refused to eat pepperoni pizza because they thought blood was in pepperoni.

  i do know some elderly jw sisters would complain about eating steak if it bled while cooking.

  has anybody else heard of this pizza nonsense?.

  Wow this takes me back.

  I remember a certain sister who used to write to manufacturers to see if the red food colouring (cochineal) was synthetic or made from "crushed up beetles".

  There was a bit of a craze for a certain liquid tonic in the 80s as well (Jws are always tired) until a rumour went round that the reason it was so effective was that it contained blood.

  One brother wouldn't eat chicken flavoured crisps or noodles in case 'the chicken hadn't been bled'.

  And I remember the Ox blood in wine scare. How sacreligious it would be if the wine that represented the blood was made with blood! Truely the devil gets in everywhere.

  Anything with pink or red colouring was suspect.

  the broadcaster, july 16, 1925. .

  the broadcaster was a four-page, second-class publication, that hoped to reach hundreds of thousands of persons through the mails.

  later, this publication was discontinued, because so many failed to reach their destination.

  JW says yes to plasma and platelets, husband then says NO!

  27 yr old female patient with ruptured ectopic pregnancy, sees the light and says yes to plasma and platelets.... she is then sedated.

  her husband then declares she cant have the plasma and platelets and doctors are forced to go to court.

  the risk of her death or permenant damage increasing by the hour.. the doctors decreed she had full capacity and right to autonomy when she relinquished her previos stand on blood.

  "... it was one of their core beliefs not to accept primary blood components of red or white blood cells or plasma and platelets..."

  Until one of the GB needs a primary component, then it will be a core belief that it's a conscience matter.

  It is OFFICIAL they want MORE MONEY : NEW ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

  by raymond frantz in

  2. scandals

  i just came back from the meeting .although the local announcements have been abolished recently as an item for the second part , an elder came on the platform to announce that the society needs more money and there is a letter on the noticeboard for all the congragation to read to this effect.

  although the announcement was read half heartedly (this elder's daughter is an apostate ,it looks like he knows what's going on) the implictions are dramatic .

  the society in brief,requests any brother or sister with funds sitting on personal accounts to loan them to the society ,he didn't go into any specifics but i will take a picture of the letter next time and make it available here .. i'm not amazed that they're asking for money ,i thought it will happen sooner or later .what i'm amazed is that 99% of the congragation are oblivious to the financial crisis that the society finds itself these days and the reasons why .i can see the future now .the watchtower will be the fist part of the babylon the great to go down in a blaze of scandals and financial troubles !.

  Lots of zombie witnesses (I include myself among them) are just going through minimal motions to stay under the radar.

  They have my family's minds. I'll be damned if they get any money off me.

  Is someone seriously whinging about the NEW YORK Times giving priority to the disaster in New York?

  Bloody hell.

  If there's one thing you can't knock Americans for, it's their charitable giving.

  "Despite nanotechnology humans can neither create life nor restore it"

  LOL that's hilarious.

  "Despite coke zero humans can neither create life nor restore it"

  Makes as much sense.

  "All sorts of people attend the meetings of Jehovah's Witnesses, some of whom would never qualify to be Witnesses."

  That's so true rmnnoute. As Jesus said: "come to me because my entrance requirements are high and I run an exclusive club"

  He got married in a Kingdom Hall, so as of 2010 he was "in good standing"
