  Thank you, TD, that clears it up for me. I've had that thought in my mind for... years. It always seemed odd to me that blood is mentioned twice - 'blood' and 'things strangled'. I can see it from a different perspective, as literal blood and unbled meats - it's not 'repetition for emphasis', but 2 separate issues. I remember someone jw told me about Acts 15:29 - "see how important the ban on blood is - it's reinterated TWICE so we'll 'get it'."

  Umm hmm, I get it. (:

  Thanks!

  T.D.

  Jehovah's Witnesses believe fractionation reaches a point where the material in question is no longer blood.

  What they seem to ignore, is the fact that fractions are derived from donated blood,that has been stored in a laboratory before processing.

  All of which goes against their beleifs.Lev.17:13
