  Apostafest: Apostaski 2008: Zermatt, late-November

  by sass_my_frass in

  mr 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.

  What are your Guilty Pleasures of a geeky/nerdy variety?

  by Crumpet in

  2. friends

  i don't mean the ones we know about already - things people wouldn't think you did or enjoyed to look at you.. i love watching ray mears extreme survival and learning about how to survive and find food and shelter in extreme climates even though there is a strong possibility that i shall never try and escape naked from a japanese prisoner of war camp, or crash without a flagon of water into the sahara, or come stuck in my ship in a freezing ice plateau in deepest antartica.

  .

  what's your guilty geeky pleasure?.

  Was there any benefit to being an Israelite?

  by jwfacts in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  during the time of the israelites, non-israelites with no connection to the nation could have a relationship with jehovah; for example, job.. there also appears no lasting benefit to being an israelite, as all people will receive a resurrection.. the watchtower uses the israelites as evidence that jehovah needs an earthly organization.

  however, the only real purpose of the israelite nation that i can see was it led to christ.

  is the nation of isreal really an indication jehovah requires an earthly organization?.

  It's amazing to talk to a JW and ask them about the bad God dealt out to the Israelites. Did individuals follow Israel when they knew that the majority of Israel was doing bad? If they didn't were they punished for going against the grain? The JW will always say, "no they were not punished for following Jehovah's true laws". You've just found the weak spot in the whole "Israel=Orginization".

  SEX, LIES, and TEXT MESSAGES

  in detroit yesterday, the story broke that the mayor, kwame kilratick, the hip-hop king himself, was under investigation for his alleged purgery in a wrongful discharge lawsuit.

  it seems that he fired 2 police officers because of their diligence in investigating his after ours activities at the mayoral mansion.

  in his sworn testimony last year, he swore under oath that he did not have any sort of romantic or intimate affair with his chief of staff.

  Maybe Detroit should be less worried about having a fornicating mayor..and worry more about having to live in Detroit.

  I actually hate Celine Dion and by no means am trying to "prove" it is her, but could it be that the quality throws off her voice. Her albums are very well produced. The two I listened too honestly sound like they probably didn't go through all the mixing stages, which would leave her voice sounding a good bit different then it does on finished albums. I also don't have the CD though. Just my two cents.

  Did the WT Discourage Platonic Friendships Between Men & Women ?

  by flipper in

  my wife and i have discussed this before , and it has been an education for me getting out of the jehovah's witnesses over 4 years ago to see the difference in how witnesses and non-witnesses view this subject .

  my wife before we met had some guy friends who she had non sexual friendships with and she was amazed when we first started dating when i told her how strict the witnesses were on men and women hanging out together alone just as friends , and that when i was a witness i never did that - at the risk of being falsely dragged before a committee if i was found in public alone with a witness woman !

  my wife was amazed at the lack of trust that the elders had in each one of us as rank and file members !

  Frowned on in my hall. The Elders would only snoop if there was a suspicious circumstance, like being seen late at night alone. I had a few female friends I hung out with alone though, and was never talked to about.

  When one JW runs over another!

  by Gill in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  the 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.

  Hey your the one vaguely implying some kind of conspiracy. Your correct I completely missed your point, and was correct in the assumption that in my opinion that it was a non issue. Have you talked to this sister that was injured? Maybe SHE was the one who did not want a announcement out of embarrassment. Just a thought.

  If Celine has not come out and stated she was not on this CD it can't be dismissed or proven. It's not hard to believe that for someone as be loved in the music industry as George is, some high profile artists wouldn't help him out with some songs. In many interviews he has mentioned his admiration for Celine and their friendship. I am going to say I think it is more then likely Celine on the album until either George or Celine come out and say it isn't. I would think the WTS would not want the album released because of copyright and the use of worldly ones on the album.
