  ENCODE is wilfully dishonest. We have dealt with this in great detail in the past.

  My Explanation of Why They Got it Wrong About Blood Using Only the NWT

  10 " 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.

  All you do is to keep reasserting your interpretation of scripture

  No interpretation necessary. Contrast and compare.

  1. Any Israelite or any alien living among you who hunts any animal or bird that may be eaten must drain out the blood and cover it with earth... anyone who eats it must be cut off.
  

  2. If an animal that you are allowed to eat dies, anyone who ...

  • touches the carcass ...
  • eats some of the carcass ...
  • picks up the carcass ...

  ... must wash his clothes and bathe with water and he will be ceremonially unclean till evening; then he will be clean.

  Kill an animal and eat it unbled and YOU DIE!

  Eat an unbled animal found already dead and YOU WILL HAVE A BATH!

  I'm still waiting for you to deal with this.

  A lot of ex-JWs find it very difficult to get over their anti-science indoctrination.

  Evolution is just a fact.

  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.
