One of the most confusing things, from the time I was a little kid, studying the "paradise" book, 'til the day I finally, and officially bailed out, was this...
The Paradise book, and heaps of the WBTS literature, clearly depict Adam and Eve living in peace and harmony with the animals. The same literature also shows that, in the New World / New System / New Order, people would again be living together, peacefully, with all animals. Since both these arrangements clearly show that this is what Jehovah wants, why then, do Witlesses continue to eat meat, and in my wife's family, continue to hunt (deer, mainly for sport, and certainly NOT for survival)? Why are dubs not commanded to be vegetarians, like their religious "ancestors", the Seventh Day Adventists? A couple hunded million Hindus living in India prove that people don't need meat to live. Why does the BotchTower Farm raise animals for slaughter?
Very confusing, and one of the many questions that caused me to "stumble" in the so-called "Troof".
BTW, I am not a vegetarian, and have recently enjoyed both venison and veggie-burgers!
