I've heard the term in wider Christian circles - of course, the conspricist in you will think I slipped it onto the conversation earlier ;)

Well, never saw it in my time and have not heard of it in the interim. I'm sure there are lots of things in history that were done and are now no longer.

I fail to see the point. You mention it was done, I say I never saw it and have not heard of it during or after my time in the JA. We're from two different era's :)
