i'm new here, i pretty much created this account cause i couldn't find the answer to my question.
and my question is, can jw eat halal and kosher meat?
i was searching online but all i found was that jw dont have any food restrictions besides consuming blood.. if someone can answer my question, please and thank u!.
Mynameislame oberved, " Interesting point, I don't ever remember that being discussed. We always used to use Kosher wine and unlevened bread for the memorial."
I'll admit that during the 20-odd years I was a Dub this never occurred to me, and I consumed Kosher foods without giving it a second thought.
It would be kind of interesting to hear the Watchtower's weasel-words on this issue of Pure Worship™.
Now I'm a free atheist and don't worry none about what superstitious people do.

Reynam asked, "... my question is, can JW eat halal and kosher meat?"
That's an interesting question!
My initial thought was "Yes, they can."
But then I recalled Acts 15:29: "You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things. Farewell."
Could an argument be made that the religious requirements for food to meet Jewish Kosher and Muslim Halal standards is a kind of FALSE "religious blessing" on the food?
Yes folks, when you get down to the religious nitty-gritty, Judaism is just as much a FALSE RELIGION as submission to Allah - Islam - is.
Hmmmm?
So maybe not, eh?
i could be wrong of course , but as far as i recall 1925 was not the date of armageddon , but was the date the" princes of the earth" would be resurrected .
the princes of course were faithfull men of old such as abraham issac and jacob, anybody who had a prominent part in gods favour.. witnesses at assemblies after 1925 were constantly awaiting to welcome the resurrected princes of the earth up until the late 1950`s.
these faithfull resurrected men were to lead the rank and file into the glorious new system of christs thousand year reign.. smiddy.
Suavojr, I'll bet you frequently find yourself wishing you knew what the hell you were talking about.
FYI, I've served ten times as many as you have ear hair and unsightly nasal hair COMBINED.
It's easy to jump to uninformed, ignorant and biased conclusions, isn't it?
I've been around a LONG time, junior. My deeds are known.
What have you done in the apostate soup kitchen lately?

Smiddy, I over-reacted. What you did was perfectly normal and OK. Please forgive me.
Really, I'm not being facetious or insincere as far as you can tell.
i attended the nyc screening of truth be told.. despite the atrocious weather, there were about 80 in attendance.. .
the director is planning to show the movie in the uk..
If the weather was better there might have been 81.
You've got a real blockbuster on your hands!

Smiddy, you were wrong.
You could have remedied that by doing some research instead of pulling your idea out of your butt, but LOOK! so many were willing to do the hard lifting for you.
Thus your slothful lazy ways are rewarded. How nice for you.
What other ridiculous erroneous notions would you like to spout? Feel free...
Welcome, Umbertoecho. I'm glad you find us worth your while.
Let us entertain you...
I have a confession to make... I fantasize about you...
I left in the mid 1970s after about 20 years involvement. I am now in my mid 60s.
Whenever I read a happy comment such as yours, for a fleeting second my imagination fires up and I wonder if you (the new poster here) might be one of the JW kids I grew up with. It hasn't happened yet (I have found a couple former JW friends, but never on this board).
There were SO many of us back then - kids who were JWs simply because they had no choice. It is sad beyond all understanding that so few of that great crowd of kids never developed the courage to admit to themselves that Mom & Dad made a stupid decision 'way back when.
praise jah, my awake education must have finally paid off.
no more living from paycheck to paycheck for me!
what a relief.
...and to think they laughed when I said I was going to become the Kingpin of an international Cucumber cartel!
They laughed, but >>I<< had the equivalent of an MBA from reading the AWAKE! when I was in the outhouse.
im not a jw but my recently x boyfriend is.
he and were dating for the past 6 years.
i found out he had gotten married to a jw in the last 1and a half of our relationship.
He (your recently X'd boyfriend) is a total scumbag and deserves to be exposed as the hypocrit he is.
He made his bed, now let him sleep in it.
so i have decided to jump in and for the first time and share some of my random memories that seem to have been floating around my mind more and more lately.
mostly if all the weird anxiety i experience from time to time is related to it.
i guess that would be a different topic to post!.
