31 On that day they kept
striking down the Phi·lis′tines
from Mich′mash to Ai′ja·lon, and
the people became very tired.
32 So the people began rushing
greedily at the spoil, and they
took sheep and cattle and calves
and slaughtered them on the
ground, and they ate the meat
along with the blood. 33 So
it was reported to Saul: “Look!
The people are sinning against
Jehovah by eating meat with the
blood.” At this he said: “You
have acted faithlessly. Roll a
large stone to me immediately.”
34 Saul then said: “Spread
out among the people and say
to them, ‘Each of you must
bring his bull and his sheep and
slaughter them here and then
eat them. Do not sin against Jehovah
by eating meat with
the blood.’” So each of them
brought his bull with him that
night and slaughtered it there.
35 And Saul built an altar to Jehovah.
This was the first altar
he built to Jehovah. -
nowwhat?
that's one of those accounts the wt convienently never brings up. now on the other side of the coin if Jehovah had destroyed the solders, they would be saying- "" SEE,SEE there are no exceptions about how Jehovah feels about blood, even in an emergency situation!

in all the years i went to meetings, that scripture was never brought up,. when i read my bible now (not the NWT) so many things are plain to see and understandable. I realise now how much the society had thrown chains over our minds. Witnesses say that they read the bible, they dont, they maybe see words but the society's propaganda has conditioned minds so much that they read the bible in the context of the literature and the GB present 'truth' , the tragedy of it is they cant see it.
