Do they mean that animals that eat blood are not candidates for a future ressurrection?

yes, i tolerated a secret fault concerning blood.
i have never told anyone about it until this day.
now i am telling you.. as i recall, sometime in the 80's (or maybe late 70's) we were told to check our pet's food for animal by-products.

hello my brothers and sisters.
may god be with you this fine and lovely day.
i wanted to share something close to my heart this day and i've chosen genesis 4:14. this text shows the danger of being cast off by god if you disobey him and really get him mad.
Also: If humans were not allowed to eat animals at that time, how did Abel conclude that killing animals and offering their fat to God would somehow please him??? And how was Cain supposed to know that his offerings displeased God? Can we blame him on that?
And how would God punish "sevefold" someone who eventually killed Cain ? By killing said murderer seven times? By killing six more people of his family? Anyway, didn't everyone back then know that killing was not allowed? Or did they need some special prohibition from God (who didn't care to inform them what pleased or displeased Him)?
There's also the fact that the ALL animals in the garden of Eden supposedly had vegetation for their food!
I wish the WTS "really" used that text for the daily study!!

there's an article at the official wastetower, entitled "did god condone the slave trade?".
the article tries to justify slavery in the bible by saying that it was different from slavery among other people (non-jews and non-christians).

There's an article at the official Wastetower, entitled "did God condone the slave trade?". The article tries to justify slavery in the bible by saying that it was different from slavery among other people (non-jews and non-christians). It brings the following "pearl" (as a footnote):
Similarly, some Christians today are employers; others are employees. Just as a Christian employer would not abuse those working under him, disciples of Jesus in the first century would have treated servants according to Christian principles.?Matthew 7:12.
Yeah... right!
The last paragraph goes:
Clearly, the Bible does not condone the ill-treatment of others in any form. On the contrary, it encourages respect and equality among men. (Acts 10:34, 35) It exhorts humans to treat others the way that they would like to be treated. (Luke 6:31) Moreover, the Bible encourages Christians humbly to view others as superior, regardless of their social standing. (Philippians 2:3) These principles are totally incongruous with abusive forms of slavery practiced by many nations, especially in recent centuries.
I'd like to know:
- Why equality and respect only among MEN?
- Would anyone "like to be treated" as a slave?
- "View others as superiors"? On which basis? On the basis that they're wicked, for they have not "accepted the Lord"?
- Is there any sort of slavery that is not "abusive"?
Awww, come on!

A warm happy birthday from Brazil.
dear friends:.
i found out on friday evening, my brother-in-law has cancer.
we don't know much at this point, but the prognosis is not good.
You are a very strong sister! A big hug for you!
although this is my first post i must say that i feel like i know so many here very well.
your posts have helped me tremendously.
as i become more comfortable i hope to join in the topics and begin to share more about myself.. for now i'll say that i am currently a jw that began researching information about two years ago to improve my faith and knowledge.
In the end a long discussion with the C/O ended with my contrite "confession" that I harboured a secret passion for so called "heavy metal music".
So do I... If I were still a Witness, I'd make good use of that.
Hey, listener, Be welcome!

The circle is the spot where the martians parked their flying saucer. Duh!

(the skeptic, vol 18, no 3, september, 1998).
a small apprehension often lurks in the back of the mind of any skeptic who has ever given an interview for later publication or broadcast; "what if the interviewer wants to show me, or the skeptics, in a bad light?
What a coincidence. I had read it last night.
