A lot of ex-JWs find it very difficult to get over their anti-science indoctrination.
Evolution is just a fact.

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.

I have no access to '54 Watchtowers - or any Watchtowers.
Please summarise the specific answer they give to this specific question.
I'm going to guess they say something utterly ridiculous about 'accidentally' eating. Am I right?
You’ve ignored what I’ve said
You haven't said a single word that specifically answers the challenge. Literally NOT ONE WORD.
You have also ignored TD's challenge regarding Acts 15.
If you are resorting to 1954 Watchtowers you are desperate!
If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who ...
- touches the carcass ...
- eats some of the carcass ...
- picks up the carcass ...
... will be unclean till evening.
How could it be any clearer? There was no law against eating an unbled animal found already dead.

No you haven't. You just keep repeating bald assertions. You have not once in this entire thread dealt directly with the data. Go back and reread the OP and address the facts.
If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who touches the carcass will be unclean till evening. Anyone who eats some of the carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening. Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash his clothes, and he will be unclean till evening.
Eating an unbled animal found 'already dead' was entirely LEGAL under the Law given through Moses.

Fishy stop spouting BS and deal honestly with the data.
You are doing more to prove my point than I am.

Despite thousands of words you have singularly failed to gainsay this simple fact.

the Mosaic law also forbade the Israelites from going around eating and selling dead animals to fellow Jews.
The bible clearly states otherwise as you well know.
The law against eating an animal found already dead ONLY applied to priests. Therefore non-priestly Jews had no such law as Lev 17 states.

Sea Breeze - nephesh ion Gen 35 refers simply to life. It is idiom for 'Rachel was dying'. There is absolutely no concept of a soul in terms of a conscious part of the person that survived death prior to the Babylonian exile. In the OT the soul IS the living person.
This is beyond dispute as I'm sure you know well.
