i'm revisiting an old topic here, but this was a subject of much confusion for me when i was still a witness.
i went to a spanish congregation in the u.s. and it seemed to be taken for granted by most that you needed to cook beef thoroughly to "get rid" of the blood.
i was surprised when i learned that folks in the english speaking hall would order a steak medium-rare and think nothing of it.. it wasn't until after i left the witnesses that it started to occur to me that if the red fluid that was present when you'd cut the beef was blood, cooking it thoroughly wouldn't get rid of it, it'd just cook it and transform it into another color.
I had this very discussion with a confused JW woman a couple of years back when the blood fractions nu-lite was revealed. She was very upset as to why the GB would be allowing fractions.
My question to her was
ME: But you eat meat dont you?
HER: Yes
ME: Is all the blood removed from the steak before you eat it?
HER: (slack jawed, sound of crickets, cogs turning behind the eyes) Oh yeah.
End of discussion

Afrikanman - pod sounds good to me. At an elder's school they could remove their human suits to reveal their reptilian appearance.

Jackson is probably in Oz to give a Churchillian style speech to rally the troops at the Aus Branch.
" We will fight them in the field, we will fight them at the RC..." kind of thing.
