You CAN eat the membranes that hold the seeds in place... in fact, if you get organic pomegranates - no pesticide residue on them - you can even eat the skin. The supposedly "inedible" portions of the fruit are in fact loaded with antioxidants and despite the fact they are a bit bitter, are very good for you. I often just munch the seeds whole, including the membranes and the actual seeds themselves, which some folks spit out (the seeds are QUITE tasty, actually!), after sucking off the fleshy red part around them - just as i like to eat a bit of the rind of watermelons, as well as the white portions of Oranges (called "zest", appropriately!), because these parts of the fruit are packed with good things and are not in the slightest toxic - nor will they give you a stomach ache unless you eat a lot of them. Pomegranate juice is in fact often made by grinding up the entire fruit, skin included. The skin has excellent anti-bacterial properties by the way......so don't be afraid to eat it, despite the bitter flavor which is the result of tannins: its VERY good for you!!
