But spiritual food does not have a shelf life. Those false teachings were never spiritual food to begin with. There has NEVER been a reason to turn a specific interpretation into "knowledge."

And so the Lord says,
    “These people say they are mine.
They honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
And their worship of me
    is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.  Isa 29:13

("Greek version reads Their worship is a farce, / for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God.Compare Mark 7:7")

He forget to mentioned how JHVH determined in advance what the food would be to humans and animals (fruit, plant and seed). Of course, reason for his mentioning animals in this chapter was another issue. I just want to put some other perspective about animals and their purpose and position before God and human. 

And when you tell them that this would be the diet of animals in the new system, they say that one can look at the carnivorous teeth and see that the animals were made to eat meat.   But those teeth can rip apart tree branches and other hard materials too, and grip anything they need to pull.

I like to put Genesis 1:29, 30  and Isaiah 11: 6,7,and 9 to show that the animals will no longer eat one another or people, but people always find fault with it.

 

*** Bible Citations ***
(Isaiah 11: 6-7) 6 The wolf will reside for a while with the lamb, And with the young goat the leopard will lie down, And the calf and the lion and the fattened animal will all be together; And a little boy will lead them.  7 The cow and the bear will feed together, And their young will lie down together. The lion will eat straw like the bull.
 

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

If memory serves (?) that scripture also says "In my Holy Mountain" or something like that.  

In the world at large, animals have to eat each other, or in the New World, we will be deluged by a half-mile high Tsunami of ravenous rodents, etc., ad infinitum.

Animals can be trained to live together in peace and harmony ... I see something like that between my five dogs and 16 chickens ....but if I fed my dogs straw ... all bets are off.

the video shown at a convention of a teenaged girl “kicked out” of her house for immorality.

Does parents of this girl get that idea from Bible only ...

... or from WT Society literature/video lessons  based on Bible only ?

I found it curious how you phrased "".... but many girls of reality ... ", as if Witness girls are somehow divorced from reality..

No. I meant that many girls do not return, as did the one in the video.

This does not happen.

 I would not say that it never ever happens. It may.

Head in sand, again ? Why TTH?

So, it is now a crime for literature to reflect the morality of the Bible?

People are going to get weary to the bone of growing and harvesting straw, forever and ever, to throw into the ocean to feed all the sea life there .... and the sharks will not be happy about it, either.

Hint No. 1.)   STAY IN THE BOAT

Hint No. 2.)  GET A BIGGER BOAT !

That argument not up to your standard, James.  Ever heard of sea weed/grasses?

wHEW!

I was drinking a mug of coffee when I read that Melinda.... the spray missed the keyboard and got all over my legs.   I am in my underwear so no real problem.

Visualize in your mind a balanced Ocean ecology eating vegetable matter ..... the first things to die off will be Baleen Whales, who filter Krill by the ton, daily, with their specialized mouth that will ONLY do that, and the Krill will reproduce a quadrillion fold, turning the Earth's oceans in a malignant soup of dead and decaying starved Krill.

...and the dead Baleen Whales.

etc.

etc.

 

[James Thomas Rook Jr.]

.... and baby eaglets are not going to be too happy  ..... for their VERY short lives .....  when the Mama Bald Eagle brings home straw and grass, instead of rabbits, mice, and fish.

Hope the coffee was not hot.

Just looked up Plankton:

plank·ton

/ˈplaNGktən/

Learn to pronounce

noun

the small and microscopic organisms drifting or floating in the sea or fresh water, consisting chiefly of diatoms, protozoans, small crustaceans, and the eggs and larval stages of larger animals. Many animals are adapted to feed on plankton, especially by filtering the water.

"prawns change their diet from plant plankton to animal plankton". 

 

=====

Yes, and there is sea weed and plant plankton.

Even with plankton,  these are small organisms, very small crustaceans, etc.  So whales don't have to eat other whales, dolphins, sharks, etc.
