I opened my gift on christmas day. Thankyou Purza!!!!!!!
for the Beautiful ornaments and the candle mmmm it smells good.
the details of who to send a gift to will be getting pm'd to you all either friday afternoon or saturday morning!
according to the information i've found online the last posting day for standard parcels is dec 11th for usa and december 15th for the uk/europe, so you should all have plenty of time to select and send a gift, although sending sooner rather than later is prefered.
can everyone taking part post on this thread what things they like, what their interests are etc so that the person who is buying a gift for you has some idea what to get you.

many of us here have been touched by mario's (utopian reformist) situation.
his life has taken an incredible spin and has thrown him into some pretty tough situations.. if you haven't read the situation, here's the thread:.

I would buy it too!!!!
it seems to me that a recurring theme for exiting witnesses is not their questions of faith (most have researched mightily before coming here, or had their own crisis of conscience), but the lack of fellowship that will happen if they leave.
it feels good to be part of a group, to feel wanted and needed.
the problem arises when that fellowship is not based on you as a person, but by what image you present, or how much you "produce".
My dog Chianti and I go to a nursing home twice a month to visit. It is amazing to share with mature adults who still have sooo much knowledge to give.
I always leave with much more than I feel I have ever given there.
.
one of my co-workers asked me that and i realized that i haven't made any plans for anything.
I thought elsewhere was going to come to seattle for the holidays
i have seen quite a few posts from many ex-jw women about how unhappy they were about male domination in congregation.
was it really that bad?
when i was still a jw, no one ever told me anything to that effect.
It had nothing whatsoever to do with my decision to leave. I think women should be put in their proper place.
????? Hmmm what exactly does that mean? I think it means you are easy to wind up... Hmmm maybe so.. it did hit a nerve for some reason.

I got my present from secret santa! and am excited to open it on christmas.
Thankyou Purza!!!!!
i stayed up all night to see it... the buildings out the windows of my apartment shimmer in the distance as a wave of golden light rises from the horizon, painting the sky glorious shades of blue, violet and orange.
the darkness recedes, creeping through the forests before the city.
light, especially a sunrise, holds a special place in my heart.... what moves you?
By quietly sitting and watching the breeze blow thru the trees, then listening to it.
By watching the snow flakes drift down to the sounds of soft music
I am moved whenever I watch my children sleep.
I am moved when I see love for me,in the eyes of someone I love
