    Back in the pre apostasy days of the Witchtower:

    Leeches cannot be used for medical purposes as we are deliberately feeding them on blood.

    The elduhs would take a dim view of couples having sex during the wife's menses, and will take action if it is brought to their attention.

    The use of blood and bone meal in the garden is unscriptural.

    All the above appeared during the late 70s and early 80s.

    All are based on Mosaic taboos. "True, Christians are not under the Mosaic law, BUT..."

    (BUT Jehoobies Witlesses ARE)

    Can anbody furnish scans of this lunatic nonsense from the litterature. (Damn - I wish I hadn't thrown mine away - I could have got a fortune on "Antiques on the Road")

    Don't have a scan, but "Leeches, Blood and Bone" is a great title for a Halloween week thread, so thanks, Hamster.

    I also remember being admonished to abstain from buying cat food with "animal by-products" in it, because this might be blood. They even try to tell you what cat food you can buy. I swear I am not making this up.
