My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT
by cofty in10 " any israelite or any alien living among them who eats any bloodi will set my face against that person who eats blood and will cut him off from his people.
12 therefore i say to the israelites, "none of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood.
15 'anyone, whether native-born or alien, who eats anything found dead or torn by wild animals must wash his clothes and bathe with water, and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

are strange, at least to you
How do you figure I don’t understand Rabbinical Judaism? It is strange to some how JW apply Acts 15 but there are reasons. And JW definition is compulsory like the Jewish or the legal. Is it strange that a fetus in the birth canal is legally not a person? It’s life can be ended horrifically with impunity. Think of the 100 of millions of ab0rtions based on an interpretation, a definition.

they can sell it to their neighbor….
TD answered that. To compel a definition cannot be fallacy or one of convenience but authoritative such as the legal definition of what is a human person or the religious definition of the Jews that a human embryo does not have a soul.
TD use of the word fallusee is alluding to… same as Bible use of grammar

JW farmer today
WT published an article to the world on that. Mosaic law fulfilled and Gentiles were never under that law. But JW cannot eat a dead animal or strangled because it was not bled based on Acts 15 as WT interprets the Bible. So a trapped animal or one hunted and not bled cannot be eaten by JW.

TD,
JW has published to the world their beliefs on blood transfusions. What is your interpretation of Acts 15 and your rebuttal to wt ?

DJW,
the Talmud views an embryo as only water until after 40 days and abortions are permitted before 24 weeks. It is not a human soul. The laws of kosher apply only to eating not ingesting and Rabbinical Judaism also distinguishes eating and tasting. For example it is not a violation to put pork cosmetic products on your lips and skin even if you swallow some of it. Hypothetically a Jew would not be in violation of kosher if ingesting a gallon of blood or a gallon of pork for non medical purpose on the other hand, eating some meat and cheese is not allowed.Their approach and method of interpreting the Bible differs from JW. For example, the Talmud says that King David did not commit adultery with Bathsheba because Uriah was not married to her at the time and David did not murder him either because Uriah slighted the king which incurred death. Rabbinical Judaism has nothing in common with JW in the method of interpreting Scripture.
Compare the legal, medical, and religious authorities that make the definitions of what constitutes a human person compulsory and the hundreds of millions or more? ab0rtions resulting from these definitions. Acts infers a prohibition of eating blood but JW believes that ingesting a large volume of blood is also prohibited in Acts15.

You have also ignored TD's challenge regarding Acts 15.
I’m addressing it. TD addresses the points in my replies to him. You don’t. All you do is to keep reasserting your interpretation of scripture like those that conclude Jesus is God in John 1:1.

Cofty,
You’ve ignored what I’ve said. I also refer you to The Watchtower April 1 1954, Question from Readers. I won’t post the information because wt has new terms of using their copyright material by posting it on social media.

cofty, don’t get angry with me. I enjoy having this dialogue with you after so many years.
Eating an unbled animal found 'already dead' was entirely LEGAL under the Law given through Moses.
You keep asserting that but I have already posted my reasons to you why you are mistaken in your view.

entirely LEGAL under the Law
Nothing is entirely legal in any legal system, there are always “catch all” laws. For example, in the US the 1A is governed by time, place and manner and the right for JW to go door to door is restricted by Court decision saying that it also depends upon people feeling safe inside their homes. In ancient Israel anyone deliberately breaking the law was subject to death. Of course it didn’t mean that people were put to death but the law made that provision.
