It's great to hear your family had a wonderfull holiday skiing... definatly buy your own gear when you know what you need to get- cause then you will have go more often...
A belated MERRY XMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and your family Simon.
so, over the xmas / new-year break we finally got around to going for some skiing lessons (yeah, we've only been in canada 4 years and in calgary right on the doorstep of the rockies).
we went to nakiska ski resort in kananaskis which is about an hour west of calgary.
it was fantastic and the kids loved it too - we're already planning our next trip to practice what we learnt.. we're probably going to invest in some gear too but man, there is so much to learn - so many brands and variations on everything (skis, poles, boots, you name it).. it's probably better to rent for a while first (even though the rental part is a pita) until we know what we need but the boots and stuff look so coool !!!

before i begin my introductory post, i would like to mention that a number of my initial comments here may be viewed by several of you as watchtower apologist or as sympathetic to the views of the jehovahs witnesses.
the last thing i want to do is incite a flame war regarding my legitimacy or intentions in joining this forum.
mostly, i would describe myself as on the fence.

what do you think it takes to "qualify" to be one of the 144k?.
do you think it is just awarded for good behavior or does it have to be earned?
what do you think will be the duties of the 144k?.
Who works there whole life, just to work forever????
Screw that! I intend on retiring and doing plenty of this and this

It's not so much that they (hard core JW's) ignore some scriptures.... it's the warped way they've been interpreted for them....
