Apostafest: Apostaski 2008: Zermatt, late-November
by sass_my_frass inmr frass and i are doing our 'gap year' trip to europe late this year, and just before we head home we're going to see if we can catch the start of the winter season in zermatt (switzerland).
the week 16-24 november is the last of the cheaper season lift tickets, but as parts of zermatt are open the whole year around there will be a lot of ground available.
there is also the possibility of heading over the mountain to cervinia and valtourneche (italy) or chamonix.

Thought I'd ask if there were any godzillionaires out there to whom this concept might appeal and float a meetup in the area.
The 2007 Apostaski didn't get off the ground; I didn't hear back from those interested, and then I forgot. pm me if you're interested in a weekend in Thredbo or Perisher this year.

Got told off by a born again-er
by White Dove ini was enjoying a smoke on my little porch at my apartments and my neighbors pull up.
the woman got out, pointed her finger at me and demanded what that "thing" in my hand was.
i proudly held up my hand with a fag in it.

I'm so sorry bro.
I think it's good that you were open about it. You know her better than anybody and know best what to say. My heart breaks for you guys (and girls) in this situation.

Interesting. I hadn't heard about the name change. Probably the lawsuit thing.

2 yrs good health left + 1 yr severe pain. How would it change you?
by Open mind infirst off, i'm fine so don't go getting all worked up on my account.
we've all heard the "6 months to live question" before.
i'm just stretching it out a bit longer to 2 years.

I'd tell my family they have one month to contact me and after that change my phone number and email so that I don't spend my remaining time wondering if they will. I'd cull the stuff I have around me, max the credit card travelling the world with the hubby (my super will cover that when I'm gone!). When the pain starts, I'd organise my own death. Life in agonising pain wouldn't be life for me, and I wouldn't want my hubby to watch it.

Poor, poor highly successful rich guy. Body Language 101: every time he touches his face, he's lying. He's confused and scared.
The Limp Bizkit riff gets a bit annoying.

Hi and welcome!
I loved big car groups in rural territory. Some suck would always start their time by standing at the train station at 8am before the group met. I floated the idea of 'penalty rates' - counting time-and-a-half on Saturdays and double time on Sundays and public holidays. I could see that everybody I mentioned it to would be doing that from now on. ('Its the law!')

When one JW runs over another!
by Gill inthe story was kept hushed up, much as in any 'abuse' case that goes on in the wt world but, jws don't like anything to make the wt society look bad.. one jw woman out on 'the misery', reversed into and dragged down the street another jw woman who then broke both arms, ribs, pelvis etc.
infact, she is lucky to still be alive.
this horror was not announced at any kh in the country and kept quiet.

by looloo inif it was well known in the congregation and some elders knew also , if she had the affair before she got baptised with a disfellowshipped man would she not have to tell her husband before she got baptised ?
