  by Simon in

  2. announcements

  it's the forum's 16th birthday today!.

  amazing that not only have we lasted so long but we're still thriving and growing.. thanks to all the people and often colorful characters who've contributed to the site over the years.

  some are still here with us, some have since moved on, but all have touched each others lives in some way along our different journeys.. .

  Handing out candy

  by mikeypants in

  2. experiences

  growing up my parents would barricade our home off by parking vehicles bumper to bumper - you would have to crawl under the cars or over the bumpers to get to our door.

  also, we would turn off all the lights and hide in the back room away from the street.. that was the norm for me.

  isnt that insane?

  Yep. Growing up, we would turn off all the lights and watch tv as low as possible. This was our 3rd Halloween trick-or-treating and 2nd time handing out candies. The kiddos had a blast.

  
  My son was Chucky and my daughter was an evil queen. Fun night!

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

  by neverendingjourney in

  2. bible

  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.

  From http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2014/10/25/myoglobin-red-meat.aspx
