Did I stutter?
 

You, with no understanding at all.
Animals were taken aboard the Ark by twos ... AND BY SEVENS.
During the voyage, some of THE SEVENs were allocated to serve as food for those collected by twos, and by sevens., and even by Noah's Family.
When the Ark landed, there were NO ANIMALS outside the Ark for Noah and his family to eat, so Jehovah gave Noah and his family to eat the surviving subsets of seven unclean animals ON THE ARK.
Mankind had been eating animals since they were thrown outside the garden of Eden ... or do you think Able was a shepherd and hunter because he needed a hobby?
THINK ABOUT IT!!
Why do you think God ordered the UNCLEAN animals collected by sevens, and the CLEAN animals collected ONLY by twos?
BECAUSE Refrigerators had not yet been invented.
When you read the biblical accounts, you are SUPPOSED to use some basic common sense, visualizing what is reasonable and what is a rubber-band stretch .... but as always ... agenda driven thinking ... parroting the screwball ideas one of the Society's Lawyers dreamed up in the 1930's and repeated for 80 years , short circuits rational thinking.

Herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. Each of them should have the ability to live from the food they eat. The digestive system, from the entrance to the exit, of food should be adapted to the type of food.
If God created each species for a specific purpose then we should not expect, as suggested in the commentary, that humans and animals (and other organisms) were herbivores before the flood and became carnivores or omnivores after the flood, according to the offered biblical quote,... God gave them all to eat "green grass and herbs" (Gen 1:30).
Moreover, such a possibility of adaptation of so many species of organisms to a sudden change in diet supports the theory that living organisms "adapt" to the natural environment and other changing conditions on Earth. This consequently means that God “created” all organisms in such a way that they can change or evolve in order to be able to live and survive in changed conditions, and for which we still see that it is possible and accurate. This again means that God knew in advance that Adam and Eve would sin, start killing each other, and animals, and eat meat. This means that God knew in advance about the Flood and the change in the diet for all the organisms on Earth, etc. Knowing what the future holds, God equipped the organisms in advance for change.  
The idea or thesis that God would know about every detail of the future is something that WTJWorg rejects in its theology. JW theology says that God has the ability to see the future, but that he is discreet and considerate of people and their free will to such an extent that He does not want to look at the future of each individual and thus enter into someone's privacy. Certainly this kind of explanation has its flaws and does not explain why then God would deal with the future and prophecies if He does not want to see it in advance.
The Bible is a book that is not always clear, not even in terms of theology, let alone to deal with such answers to the question in the subject. The text leaves too much room for conjecture. And to draw various conclusions that do not have to be an indication of accuracy. Only intellectual wandering, imagination and daily politics (daily ideologies).
If God created everything, then he also created organisms, many of which are invisible to the human eye, and which live in someone else's body and at the expense of their host. Some are useful to him, and some are able to torture and kill his host.
Or take for example the behavior of the vast majority of animals, if not all (even humans). The instinct to have and protect or conquer someone else's - food area, place for home, females for mating. So, God instilled in them such an instinct for behavior during creation. And, on the other hand, most societies in today's civilization reject the "biblical concept" of the ancient patriarchs, to whom the described situation was completely natural and approved by God. Both, before the flood and after the Flood, for example polygamy was acceptable. The fact that comes from the biblical text that God created only one woman for Adam was not decisive for future human society, regardless of their religiosity, that people with the blessing of that same God establish families in which a man has more than one wife. Whether they are vegetarians or omnivores.
We could say that God has changed his mind and attitudes and behavior in different circumstances and times throughout history. He changed it in terms of human nutrition (and animals?), And in terms of marital status of people.
Insisting today on any of the theses offered (or practice and way of life) would be limited and would show that we are less adaptable than God who is able in many things to adapt himself to people and their capabilities.
I’ve heard that today’s nutritionists don’t talk about healthy or unhealthy food. All food is healthy to eat.....but not every amount of food. There can only be hygienically unsafe food. You know, in the sense that the expiration date has passed or that the food is in the process of rotting and the like. 

Whichever way we interpret it, God accepted Abel’s meat sacrifice rather than Cain’s vegetable sacrifice. And that's proof ..... of what?  

I consider a world-wide  2 year lock down an insignificant blip in the history of the world ... but hey ... that is just me. A minor inconvenience of passing note ... no more.
I do not even wear a face diaper when I go out.

REAL News is that which needs no Herald .... none whatsoever .... such as dropping a massive meteorite on the Yucatan Peninsula.
 
 
 
...

To paraphrase a common aphorism, Opinions are like bodily orifices .... everyone has at least five.
Your opinion that this does NOT fall under the category as a town crier, is ONLY your completely entitled  but unsubstantiated  personal opinion. 
1.) Even though I do not care, it is my personal opinion (again, for what it is worth ...) that this DOES count as a town crier. I will even rephrase and repeat that.
2.) It is my personal opinion that Arauna's comments does count as a town crier.
Ok, I've called your bluff that that your opinion has any validity, and raised you two ...  TWO opinions of my own.
... Lions, Tigers, and Bears, Oh My!
Of course, even the WTB&TS has acted as a town crier for over a hundred years, even though with all the good they have done, and it has been considerable, the FACTS show they have actually been, most of the time,  crying wolf
 

I do not own any guns, but have been told I have a "mean overbite".
What news should I listen to?

Really?  You are at present in the first world-wide lock down for almost 2 years and you say there is no evidence?  I think you need a fact-checker.... and not those who are paid by the establishment. 

The king is a fink!

( ... satire alert, for the clueless ...)
... and besides ... because of World War II the knowledge gained about radiation has saved more lives since then in medical treatments than all the life lost in the war, on all sides.
.... It has been 75 years since August 6, 1945.
( ... that is NOT satire ... for the historically challenged.)
 

It appears that non-agenda driven reading comprehension is NOT one of Dmitar's primary attributes.
After all ... World War II the Holocaust was just a minor inconvenience that irritated some dissatisfied Jews.

.... I am a big fan of eating, and naps.

Let's get right down to the REAL nitty-gritty .... where the rubber meets the road.
SCENARIO NO. 1:
Someone with an I.Q. not much higher than a Cocker Spaniel with a headache, let's call him T'MOOG, lives in the outback of Australia, eating termites, and standing on one leg to sleep at night. He has no concept of the Biblical Reference of Gog, Magog, or even of a Cocker Spaniel dog, Los Angeles Smog, or Kermit the Frog.
SCENARIO NO. 2:
Someone with an I.Q. in excess of 200 has studied Biblical Prophesy his whole adult life, let's call him ABNER EASTWOOD, and is one of only 23 people on Earth that has, or has ever understood completely what Jehovah has in mind .... including contingencies, ramifications, and subtle nuances in great detail.
He knows absolutely  everything there is to know about everything there is to know about Gog of Magog.
The fact remains that neither T'MOOG, or ABNER EASTWOOD can do Anything about any of it.
Nothing whatsoever.
Zip, Zero, Nada, Goose Eggs.
Meanwhile, ABNER is an unsufferable bore who beats others over their head with what he knows, and they care not at all, and is a truly miserable person. He has no joy in what he knows, as he is well aware THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO WITH THAT INFORMATION.
... and T'MOOG, who leads a very hard life, wakes up one morning, holding on to his spear, and puts both feet in the dirt beneath his bare feet, and like the Cocker Spaniel, looks out at the new day and realizes he is completely happy.
 
 
 
 

The Bible has to be read in context.
Otherwise the Scripture about “… after I leave, wolves will enter in among the flock” becomes rationale for dogs going to heaven.
etc., ad nauseum.

Many things that are labeled "politics" by the naive and ignorant are merely an above average sense of situational awareness of what is going on around you, and having an opinion about the wisdom or folly of the madness that has replaced common sense.
Whether it is the daily news of national events, or strategic geopolitical awareness, if you are a competent observer, even though you have no influence whatsoever, you will be labeled a "political person".  Unless you shut up and stifle yourself.
When you shut up and stifle yourself you become a dry and humorless person.
Think I am kidding?
Try this on for size:
"What's the difference between the Covid shots, and Kyle Rittenhouse?
Answer: " Kyle's shots were effective!"
Get it?
Of course not.

I wonder why people spend so much time imagining anything they do has to do w/anyone else's salvation other than themselves.  (you can't save anyone, you can't save yourself either)
You goal should be to exercise yourself vigorously to get yourself through the door and make sure you're doing all you can to highlight the kingdom as the solution for all the woes we're facing.
Anything else is a distraction. 
All the noise just looks to me like a lack of faith.

I do not believe the Bible says that anywhere.
Ever see a T-Rex's teeth?
Or the great prehistoric Jurassic and before sea "monsters"
Sharks are millions of years old ... what did they eat .... seaweed?
Have a clear, unambiguous Biblical reference?

All this took place in the last quarter of 1941, leading one to expect Armageddon before the end of the year .….. and then there was that large Sunday morning multiple boat accident on the island of Oahu, December 7, 1941.
Coincidence?
 

The CCJW Organisation has cried Wolf so many times that they have made themselves look stupid. They have also lost the real meaning of ungency because they keep making false predictions. Of course if you cry Wolf enough times then eventually you will be right, but that is not what God or Christ wants. It seems to show selfishness on their part to want Armageddon to happen just because THEY feel safe. But they make a mockery of God and Christ and also of God's Holy Scriptures.  Now, if they think they are the F&DS, they should show humility and say "We do not know when the Judgement will be".  But instead they preach fear and division. Pushing more and more JWs out. 
I do know how people survive inside the CCJW. It's by not believing the GB's words and not doing the will of the GB or the Elders. Physically in, mentally out, they say. But in truth it's Spiritually out that helps them survive.  For instance those people that didn't obey the Leaders in the late 1960's / early 70's were the ones that survived. 
Thank you @Srecko Sostar for this information. It's very interesting to read and shows how the 'Org' has not been guided by God's Holy Spirit. 

I am truly impressed by the time it must take to compose these bible book length epistles.
I wish I had the time to reply, point by point .... but I do not.
.... and like Witness, his/her long tomes, and my long replies would not be any influence whatsoever on anyone .... and we have a decade of Archive commentary ... tens of thousands of comments ....  to abundantly confirm that point.
I suspect that each and every one here, addicted to such things, on our death beds ... perhaps surrounded by people we are about to forever leave behind, will look up, and with tears in their eyes, and tears in our eyes, with our last breath before the blackness closes in forever, and we can move no more, will raise our feeble fingers and attempt to check our e-mail.

If Jehovah can protect three faithful Hebrew men in a raging blast furnace at perhaps 1800 degrees, it serves as a good example of angelic protection FOR INDIVIDUALS, as hydrogen bombs abound.
In the parlance of Star Trek "Shields are holding at 100%".
