  Do JWs eat fat?

  by scooter in

  reading some of the recent posts on the blood issue reminded me of a verse that i have never yet had a jw explain.

  lev 3:17 in the nwt reads " it is a statute to time indefinite for your generations, in all your dwelling places: you must not eat any fat or blood at all.".

  jws use other verses to try and show that we mustn't eat blood as = having a blood transfusion.

  i'm new at this whole computer-e-mail stuff; so i guess i should explain myself a bit.

  fist, english is not my 1st language, i was born into the truth- you could say i'm 2nd generation jehovah's witness, & i have been disfellowshipped twice & was out for 6 years.

  i think from my last letter you can tell that i have a true zeal for the truth.

  Why were you disfellowshipped twice?

  Joseph, thanks for your post.

  Hyghlandyr (think i've spelled it right- not enough g's and y's maybe) thanks for the photos(I think). I take it then, it is you in the photo.

  Don't do things by halves, do you ?

  Actually, I'm from the Highlands (in case you don't recognise the word, that's the opposite to lowlands) of Sscchotland! But I seem to detect you are of Irish descendency?

  Och well, jings crivens, help me boab! It's a braw bricht moon licht nicht the nicht, ye naw!

  H, is that you in the photo? If it is, I'll believe everything you say. By the way, who or what is a bucko?

  this forum has indeed helped me with my exit from the watchtower, as well it continues to be a great source of help, theraphy, encouragement and information.. my husband is a member here.

  Hello, awakenedandfree and welcome. I'm a newbie too, but a bit less newbie than you are! I think it's FANTASTIC that you have managed to leave the WBTS behind! My wife is a JW but not me. Having done LOADS of research on the WBTS I know how deceitful and rediculous a place it is. I would give ANYTHING for my wife to leave.

  I was just wondering if there are any tips you can give me to help the situation. You see, even though I've done all this research, I've only ever spoken to male ex-JWs. It would be brilliant to here things from your perspective. Especially seeing as your husband wasn't a JW.

  I'll understand if you are busy or something, so I don't want you to feel obliged. An alternative means of communication is [email protected] thanks.

  Blondie, you've just pinched my argument, girl! (or some of it). I was hoping a JW (curyus?) would get there before you! Anyway, I still would like to know if anybody has thought about giving up fat because of Lev 3:17?

  Only JW's Honest - Perpetuating the Stereotype

  by NeonMadman in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  .

  the back cover of the august 15 watchtower offers another example of mind control, reinforcing the concept that there are no honest people except for jehovah's witnesses, and that there is no crime within the organization ("if all people were jehovah's witnesses, who would commit crimes?"):.

  don't it make you wanna hurl?

  Blondie, thanks for the info. Yes they could turn to Acts 15. But my point is that this is Jehovah commanding people not to eat any fat or blood "for time indefinite." They use Lev. 7:26-27 quite freely. I'm just interested to know if anyone stopped (or tried to stop) eating fat because of Lev 3:17. ??

  JWs use other verses to try and show that we mustn't eat blood as = having a blood transfusion. So why not use this one to say we mustn't eat fat?
