I don't remember Watchtower talking about it when it came to steaks, but I and my father have always cooked our steaks rare and ridiculed anyone who ruined a perfectly good steak by asking for it "well done."

Has the WT ever said it's okay to steak rare?
by neverendingjourney ini'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.

Ron de Rooy - will he review his performance at the RC?
by FadeToBlack insimply amazing to watch.
the restraint shown by the judge and lawyer is breath-taking.
i'm sure they would like to pummel these idiots with a sledge-hammer, but they choose words instead.

Notice the look on his face every time he says, "I don't recall"?
If this was taking place in my home state, I would seriously track the guy down and knock that smirk off his face.
What is so funny about this situation? What is so funny about being a pillar of the congregation, a hiding place from the rainstorm, and not being able to recall something as serious as this?
My father has been a COBE (P.O.) for around 30 years, and he remembers EVERYTHING. I put my Dad on a pedestal, and maybe he is exceptional when it comes to elders and their memories, but still. This is ridiculous.
Their congregation should demand they step down due to incompetence and looking like buffoons while giving a piss-poor defense of the good news.

Tell the COBE and School overseer that you would like to speak to them about a very sensitive subject. Privately tell them that you are having anxiety issues and would like to "temporarily" step down from the school. Tell them that you are currently getting treatment for the anxiety, but for now, you need to focus on your mental health and need to be humble about your circumstances and recognize your limitations, but that you are also embarrassed and would appreciate their confidentiality.
That's what I did. They offered sympathy and some "comforting" scriptures and said that I should take all the time I need and let them know when I am ready again.

If there is a God in heaven, there's no way a man of Mr. Stewart's talent would be opposed to a bottle of Scotch. -

Labeling one self "Atheist" is Unscientific
by LAWHFol ini have not meet all atheists, and it would be foolish for me to assume that all atheists, share the same prototypical view points.
i am inclined to feel that this classifies the views of a large percentage of atheists.
"atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.

Your logic is crappy is not an insult?
In hindsight, she probably should have said, "poopy." It's much more polite.

Atheist vs. Agnostic is like arguing Scotch vs. Bourbon. They both come to fruition in similar but different methods. In the end, they both get the job done. -

I'm more of a "very expensive Scotch" kind of gal. Is there a god for that?
Actually, Dionysus it known today as the god of wine, however previously, he was known generally as the God of intoxication. So, I think that would qualify for a "very expensive Scotch" kind of gal.
