I reported on it here with a link to the article when it happened. Not one single person from the Glasgow mosque turned up. It is possible a few individuals not connected to the mosque did attend .

The Watchtower are Right About Blood...
by cofty in... but, they fail to take note of one important detail.. i believe that if we are going to have any chance of reasoning with a jw about blood, this is the place we need to begin.. don't try to convince them that it was only a dietary law.
it wasn't, and they will never go along with it.. don't tell them that saving a life is more important than obeying a law, even a seemingly trivial one.
they take pride in obedience.

Fishy - still waiting for an answer to a very simple question. Why are you refusing to answer?
You say that it was forbidden to become unclean and deliberately doing so resulted in death.
If an Israelite shepherd found one of his sheep that had died during the night would he be executed for burying it?
If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies...1 - Anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean till evening.
2 - Anyone who eats some of its carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.
3 - Anyone who picks up the carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening. -

Torn by a wild animal is also a matter of clean or unclean. An animal torn by wild beasts would be bled so it has no relevance to this topic.
Unclean was not a crime.
Please stop and answer the following question. It is crucial to the topic.
If an Israelite shepherd found one of his sheep that had died during the night would he be executed for burying it?
Yes or no.

According to you Fishy if an Israelite farmer found one of his sheep dead he would be executed for burying it.
Really?

Bury it or eat it. No difference under the law..
Lev.11:38,39...
If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies...
1 - Anyone who touches its carcass will be unclean till evening.
2 - Anyone who eats some of its carcass must wash their clothes, and they will be unclean till evening.

Fishy - Once again you are plucking verse right out of context. Stop it it makes you look desperate.
Go back and check the context of Leviticus 22. It is the list of additional restrictions that applied only to priesthood and not to Israelites in general.
“Tell Aaron and his sons..." - Lev.22:1
A priest could not touch a dead body or have sex with his wife of do lots of other things that ordinary Israelites could do without having to go through a purification ritual.
The very fact that a priest could not eat an animal found already dead underlines the fact that other Israelites could.
It was forbidden to become unclean.
Nonsense. How could you forbid somebody from having sex for example? If your animal died you had to either eat it or bury it. Both resulted in you being made unclean. Uncleanness was not a crime. All you had to do was bath and change your clothes. No penalty for uncleanness. The only punishment was if you didn't observe the procedure to be clean - bathe and change.
You still have to explain Lev.11 and Lev.17
Stop avoiding the difficult questions Fishy,.
I explained all of that in detail in my article.

Atheism = self defeating.
by towerwatchman inatheism = self defeating.
first may we define our terms.
the word atheism comes literally from the greek, alpha the negative and theos [for god], therefore “negative god” or there is no god.

Care to point one out
You avoid every difficult question. You have listened to hours of Wm L Craig videos and formed your arguments in a bubble. Every word you write is either WLC or S. Meyer. You bounce all over the place using copy-paste as if you have written it yourself and never provide links. You ignore every argument of substance.
You never converse or attempt to understand anything others are saying.

Bollocks.
Christians worship an omnipotent god who is the epitome of love.
Natural disasters prove they are deluded.
Claiming that it is a mystery is nothing but dishonesty.
