Has the WT ever said it's okay to steak rare?

by neverendingjourney in

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 have never heard that before. I always remember hearing "as long as it is bled properly, then you can eat it."

I just googled it and found this:

By Dr. Mercola

The red juice that often collects in a package of red meat is not blood, as many assume. Most of the blood is removed during processing and any that remains is usually contained within the muscle tissue.

The red liquid, instead, is a mixture of water and a protein called myoglobin, whose purpose is to help ship oxygen to muscle cells. Myoglobin is deeply pigmented, which is why the more myoglobin a meat contains, the darker (or redder) the meat will be.

Last Man on Earth

by rebel8 in

anyone else watching this show?

i'm fascinated by it.

i have often thought about what it would be like if most people were gone.

dazed but not confused

Its pretty funny. I think the main character, Will Forte, is much smarter than most active JW's. As you know, thats not saying much.
Good show otherwise. I hope it comes back next season.

(edited to add)

As of April 8th, it looks like FOX renewed it for a second season.

What would happen if you drop a fake check or bill in the donation box?

by StarTrekAngel in

what would happen if we started dropping fake check or bills inside the donation box of an assembly?

i know, is a crime, but so is pushing someone to not accept blood and die.

would it help skew the numbers enough if enough of us did it?.

dazed but not confused

once when I was a teenager and helping with the final count of the donations someone left a 1 million dollar bill in the "local congregation" box. The MS said he had a pretty good idea who left it. I never found out. Nothing ever came of it. No local needs or anything anyway.

Four Blood Moons might be significant

by CharlieSmith1975 in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuqzhnx7xma.

the bible does say that the "day of jehovah" (armageddon) would be associated with the sun becoming dark followed by the moon turning to blood.

but the moon turning to blood is specific to a total lunar eclipse.

Marking for later... this is too good.

Lock the parking lot gate after the meeting starts?

by MinisterAmos in

jw
friends

quick synopsis...the local spanish congo is the only one in about a 40 mile radius.

most of the members live nearby, but the ones in the outskirts have up to a 1 hour trip depending on beach traffic.

recently the wife and i noticed that the hall's parking lot had been secured by a wall and electric gates added to all three exits and entrances.

dazed but not confused

Its a shaming method. The cong i was in here in Colorado would block off the last 2-3 rows for all the ones who showed up late. The problem was, the hall was full of babies and they responsible ones got there early to sit in the back so as not to disrupt the meeting with getting up with the little ones. It quickly backfired on them because all the babies were fussing from near the front. It only lasted 2-3 weeks. Its funny, treat the late ones like they are babies or worse yet... df'd.

And 5 before it started?! Not 5 after? wow
