Why would god create animals that he finds disgusting and unclean??

by highdose in

i'm thinking of the pig here, a creature supposeedly created by god, a perfect god.

why would god create a creature that then had to be avoided and kept away from??.

and why then change his mind later deciding that suddenly they weren't disgusting afterall and lets all have a bacon sarnie?!!.

Good question...I often wonder why those questions never came to my mind as I was still in. I now sometimes have the feeling I was really stupid!!!

i found this site randomly the other day on an unrelated search, and its nice to find a place where people can discuss a relgion that in house cannot be discussed without either being quoted mantras or a very skewed view of the world.. ok about me.. im a 24 year old taiwanese-american, and i have been raised as a jw from the age of about three to the age of 17, when i unoffically left.

i started to have doubts around age 12, but did what i was supposed to to keep mommy and daddy happy.

my parents are jws, as well as my older 1/2 sister, and my younger sister.

Hello

This is what I just got via e-mail from a "very niche sister":

The text for 2012 service year is John 17:17 "Your Word is Truth"

Two highlights: big expansion of Walkill to last through 2013, including the construction of a 3-story office complex, and World Headquarters (not the US branch) will be moving out of Brooklyn to Warwick, NY, pending approval of construction there. Our prayers for Jehovah's direction were encouraged.

Second is that the emphasis will be given to more experienced workers in the field (goal of Bible School for Single Brothers / Christian Couples), and to have seasoned and experienced brothers & couples serve as a stabilizing influence in the more densely populated areas (Gilead School). Gilead School thus has a new role: only those in special full-time service (Bethel, missionaries, special pios, TOs) will be invited based on branch recommendations. These will in turn be assigned to areas where the maximum no. of brothers and sisters will benefit from their experience and special training.

(Just a clarification regarding the "change of focus" of Gilead: Bro. Morris mentioned that the Bible School for Christian Couples will begin to be held in other branch territories in Sept 2012. Thus, while it seems that Gilead will be "invitation only", there will be many, many more opportunities for couples to receive theocratic training.)

Of course, we'll get the reports of this meeting via WT articles and study articles soon in the future.
