Yeah BTS, I was raised on it. Nowdays, I mainly use it for stock or making gravy. When I was a kid, it was a staple for kid's school lunch but times and tastes have changed a lot.

Aussie Delicacy Vegemite Loses Some of Its Savory Appeal
by Scott77 inthe a-hedupdated may 10, 2012, 12:29 p.m. etaussie delicacy vegemite loses some of its savory appealyeasty spread is acquired taste, but kids today are a hard sell; edgers and streakersby rachel pannettvegemite is australia's best known snack, but maker kraft foods has been struggling to get a new generation of aussies to eat it.
now, some chefs are seeing the strongly flavored spread as a unique gastronomic opportunity.
wsj's rachel pannett reports.. sydneyvegemite, australia's best-known condiment, is leaving a bad taste in little mouths.. beloved for generations down under, it has been derided elsewhere: formula one race-car driver mark webber travels with it in his kit and actor russell crowe eats it with tomato.

What did your personal big AHA moments look like when you saw through a LIE or suddenly understood a TRUTH?

I was the same as Perry. 1995 WT on the generation. I asked the elders about the change...Their answer? What change?! I was told that that my explanation of a literal generation was "apostate thinking." When they left my house, I did a 2hr search of the WT CD on generation. There it was in black and white, the slow change of the belief through the late eighties early nineties (Actually silence, no articles.)
AHA moment and I never put a foot in a KH since.

Hey CoCo maybe shoulder pads are coming back! The jws fashions are always thirty years behind.
Also it looks as if her right hand is going for a concealed weapon and his reaction is appropriate.With that plastic smile on her face as well, I would give her anything to get her out of my office too!

NEW LAW Starting July 2012 in Qld Australia Preventing Door to Door Sales
by Hopscotch ini just read this in our local newspaper this morning and thought it is very interesting.
this law is aimed at door to door marketing by companies but i am wondering if this may end up including religious 'sales persons'.
the comments below the story are worth reading as jw's and religious callers are definitely who many people want stopped under this new law.. .

As I recall from college years Aussie system is based on a "Washminster" system. Not exactly Westminster as we don't have a House of Lords. But we have a Constitution which James may have been referring to and I agree with his statement that laws are being changed under the guise of antiterror or in this case privacy but these changes often have implications that we did not intent....

All there is is you. That is it. You are the only one that can open doors, create opportunities. You and the decisions you make.
Now that is the REAL secret.....We are the "gods" of our destiny.
Hey and stop the silly thoughts about suicide and hopelessness. I didn't even leave the jws 'til I was 40 odd and only then did life really take off. Yes I had been suicidal and have had friends kill themselves but what kept me going was...You just never know what's around the corner.

Since exiting the Witnesses have you Become More " Spiritual " ? - Not ........
by flipper in..... necessarily more religious, but more spiritual in a non-religious way ?
although being religious is one of the definitions os " spiritual " it encompasses much more in the webster's new world dictionary , under the word spiritual it's definition is : " 1. of the spirit or the soul as distinguished from the body or material matters 2. of, from, or concerned with the intellect ; intellectual 3. of or consisting of spirit ; not corporeal 4. characterized by the ascendancy of the spirit ; showing much refinement of thought and feeling 5. of religion or the church ; sacred, devotional, or ecclesiastical ; not lay or temporal 6. spiritualistic or supernatural .
quite a variety of definitions !

After exiting jw's, I realised that I had been living other people's expectations of me, especially my spirituality. When I asked myself "Who are you?" I came to the staggering conclusion that I couldn't answer that question with any clarity. I was truly born again in the sense that I went searching for identity and now realise that this is the wonder of old age, finding my true self and being comfortable with that. I, like Flipper and Talesin get inspiration, wisdom and peace from the natural world. Actually I just returned from camping on aboriginal sacred land just now. I saw two eagles soaring yesterday and a few of the elders danced around the fire last night. Better than any stuffy meeting in a suit and tie!

Aboriginal Australians Aren't Black?!
by Philadelphia Ponos init's very rare that i visit this site these days and even rarer that i start a thread, but ever so often i see a comment so outrageous that i just have to respond.
in a thread entitled "are black people more emotional than white people", the op made the following comment concerning the lack of "black people" in australia:"we have the australian aboriginal people butthey are a different race more related to white people i beleive.
" the bad spelling and grammer isn't the only thing wrong with this sentence.

They didnt invade with military force
...was speared in the shoulder and told his soldiers not to fire on the natives.
Barry is looking like a troll. Surely you realise that Australia's first settlement was a penal colony, the rum rebellion was over soldiers being paid in rum rather than wages. Force was clearly used by the miltary when the "natives" stood up and fought for their land.
What really is your point Barry?

Are black people more emotional than white people
by barry ini see in churches in the states standing up in church dancing, clapping their hands and being quite emotional even in a church.
things which that wouldnt be acceptable in australia.. the link below also shows black sda ministers dressed in clergy style dress which is quite unusual for ministers here in australia.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yynbdm0unsw&feature=g-all&context=g2e791f1faaaaaaaamaas .
could any of my american friends inform me i showed it to my father who is a lay preacher and he was mistified as to what tradition this dress comes from but seems to be concentrated to th eblack community also?.
