I looked down on very few as a witness and now I know I am looked down upon for asking to many questions and making too many waves.

blood -- wts questions and sound answers 12
the wts writes:
"abel never ate flesh with its blood, which is its soul or life.
It would seem quite obvious that Adam and Eve and their offspring ate animals long before the flood and the supposed permission that God gave man to eat animals after embarking from off the ark.
Do you think that God was displeased with Cain's sacrifice because he didn't kill something to sacrifice to Jehovah? Maybe God liked to see the killing of animals since about half the animals he created ate each other and the other half ate vegetation. This being the case long before sacrifices and Adam's sin and God needing to have his son killed to buy back what Adam lost.

the decree issued to noah answers the question of what blood god required righteous persons to abstain from.
the blood humans should abstain from is the same blood noah had to abstain from -- the blood of animals killed for food.
Thank you for your reply Marvin. I will check out the link.

I should probably know this but I will ask anyway. Was blood used sacrifically on altars before the time of the mosaic law covenant or was only the animal, drained of its blood, used in sacrifice?

As for me...the older I get, the less I know, and I'm not too happy about THAT fact.
I can certainly relate to that fact. I thought I knew all I needed to as dub and then some. Wow what a ride since I realized that was not the case.

last night my mother has confided in me that her best's friends brother was a circuit overseer.. she told my mom that the society instructs all c.o.
to keep congregation sizes small for the.
pure reason that: if so everybody can be closely watched, monitored, and known!.
They want to keep it like a cozy little family.
What 4 Freds are you talking about?
" the overseer made it quite plain..
"if i can't say i have been advised not to serve in alternate service--why are you actually doing it?
i was there to serve jehovah; consequently i was doing jehovah's will.
I enjoyed your story immensely Terry. Very well written.
