seems like i just pop in here every now and then to see what everyone is up to.

just like the previous years, i check in during the holidays to let everyone know about the annual christmas card exchange.. blondie used to lead this several years ago and i was involved for about 3 to 4 years before it began to fall off.

for those of you who participated back then, i still have your addresses and have just sent off this year's christmas cards to everyone.

I think you have my address already.

Yes, blondie, I do and your card is already on the way. Glad to see you back here.

If we still do this Xmas thing Please P.M. me thanks.

I can head it up if there are new people interested. Just PM me your address, if you are interested, and I will compile and send them out to all interested parties.

We will need to allow for delivery time for any international addresses. I am going to assume worst case that international takes upwards of 3 weeks. Therefore, I will send out the addresses that I get by next Friday (November 22, 2024) to give people time to address and mail them.

In the meantime, I will check and bump this thread once or twice a day until that date.

Hello everyone,

Seems like I just pop in here every now and then to see what everyone is up to. Just like the previous years, I check in during the holidays to let everyone know about the annual Christmas Card exchange.

Blondie used to lead this several years ago and I was involved for about 3 to 4 years before it began to fall off. For those of you who participated back then, I still have your addresses and have just sent off this year's Christmas cards to everyone. I decided to do it early this year to make sure the international cards made it to their destinations on time.

I am wishing everyone who celebrates Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

P.S. Anyone also remember the secret Santa gift exchange? I miss those times. Hope everyone is doing well.

i'm not sure if anyone remembers me since i do not post here much anymore.

i sometimes pop in around christmas time to see if anyone is interested in exchanging christmas cards like we used to back when i first posted on this site.

speaking of which, the holiday season will soon be upon us.. if you recall, i was married to a jehovah's witness and i had a daughter i spoke of a lot.

TheListener,

My wife and I are not yet divorced either. Our kids are free too. Nice to see you again.

Hello Vanderhoven7,

Good to see you again. I may stick around. I've noticed that a lot of the conversations here are not as "cerebral" as they were back then. Maybe it is just my perspective. I recall lengthy discussion over theology and doctrine and biblical exegesis. Far more interesting than what you'd find in any church / kingdom hall.

Hello Beth Sarim,

Good to see you too.

I recall back in 2015, our family visited San Diego CA and drove by Beth Sarim. I spoke briefly with the owner of the property but did not ask to tour the house.

A year later, in 2016 during our anniversary, we went to Pittsburgh PA and visited the cemetery and saw the pyramid memorial near Charles Russell's gravesite.

Last summer, I stopped by again to confirm that the pyramid had been removed.

Do Christmas cards brighten up your life? If so I feel sorry for you!

Um, well, okay. Thank you.

Hello Ding,

Nice to see you again. It has been a while since we've interacted. I've looked over the old posts from back in the old days to kind of remanence.
