Why did Jehovah create animals that eat blood with the meat?

I've got one too! Why did Jehovah say it was ok to give the alien foreigner meat with blood in it, and it was even ok to sell it to them!???

"You must not eat any body already dead. To the alien resident who is inside your gates you may give it, and he must eat it; or there may be a selling of it to a foreigner, because you are a holy people to Jehovah your God." (Deuteronomy 14:21)

what gets me is how the jw's say "Yeah lions will eat straw" but they are meant to eat meat, their body can cope with it so they do...wait till the jw's think its paradise and go over to a lion. "Hello mr li...ROAR *crunch*"

Here's what happened.

When Noah came out of the Ark, there wasn't any apples, oranges, nectarines, banana's, or Kiwi fruit to be found......ONLY animals that was on the Ark was the food source since ALL the animals OUTSIDE the Ark were dead. So, god decided to let Noah start eatin some of the animals he spared on the ark untill these animals started breedin and havin babies so Noah and his family could eat them. This took awhile.

Well, instead of god stickin to his original idea and havin people eatin fruits and vegatables again once Noah planted a buncha more trees, he for some reason let them keep eatin meat and they liked it so much he had to put a fear of man in them so they could run for their lives or else man( and the ladies) would be glutonizing themselves on meat and eatin too many hamburgers.

To this day....Macdonalds and Carls Jr. has been capitilizing on the idea.....bastards!

LOL!!! Doesn't the Society claim that the Great Crowd corresponds to the "alien residents" of ancient Israel, living in the midst of Israelites (= the spiritual Israelites, i.e. the 144,000)? So wouldn't this mean that the anointed cannot eat blood or have transfusions, but anyone from the Great Crowd can? After all, doesn't the Society say that the NT was written for the "anointed", and thus the rules in Acts 15 apply to the annointed, not to the "alien resident" Great Crowd? LOL!

I wonder if this means JWs can donate blood!

Though, admittedly, Gumby's eloquent post gets to the spiritual turnip of thing; I'm thinkin that the question is exactly like: why do people rob banks? Because that's were the money is. That's why animals eat blood with the meat, because that's where the blood is; unless of course you want to go all deep into it, all rocket sciency and mystic on us like Gumby the show-off.
