  When I was a kid, the main hot meals were served on those military metal style trays with the indents for each dish. Like you see on old M*A*S*H episodes.

  Often the dessert would spill over and run into the main meal! Yum!

  Was still good though!

  Mate I gotta admit the hot food was pretty good! We often had CA's in the country and all the brothers who were farmers would donate these country fresh vegetables and man oh man the meals were great.

  And helping preparing was fun too - MUCH better than sitting listening to the boring crap program!! For me as a youth/teenager the food preparation was really fun.

  I've stopped drinking at home now for over 3 weeks. I've had some wine on 1 of the weekends and didn't even enjoy it.

  I've found I can combat the urge for the drink when I walk in the door at home by switching to naturally brewed Ginger Beer. I have a cold one of those now and am finding I don't miss the wine at all.

  The funny thing with me is : if there is grog in the house I will drink it. If it's not around then I don't miss it so much. So if you are trying to cut down then I suggest to get rid of all the grog from home, and try the Ginger Beer!

  This Week on Compass

  COMPASS: KNOCKING
  Sunday 18 May at 22:05

  Knocking opens the door on Jehovah's Witnesses. They are moral conservatives who stay out of politics, but they’ve fought many human rights court battles. They refuse blood transfusions on religious grounds but they are eager guinea pigs in support of new science to advance bloodless surgery. In Nazi Germany, they could fight for Hitler or go to the concentration camps. They chose the camps. Following two Jehovah's Witness families who stand firm for their often controversial Christian faith, Knocking reveals how Jehovah's Witnesses have helped shape history beyond the doorstep…

  B the L,

  yes, good point! I bet many doctors have appreciated JW's offering themselves up as guinea pigs in experiments with bloodless surgery over the years.

  All sing along now:

  "We're Jehovahs Witnesses,
  We get used as guinea pigs...."

  Would be interesting to find out about Rachel Nowak and if she has any links to the JW's.

  In my opinion the article is quite pro-JW which is surprising considering The New Scientist's normally uncompromising stand against creationists in general....
