>>We have been advised of a telephone fraud currently in operation

>>If you do receive one of these calls, upon answering the telephone,

>>Even if you disconnect immediately, it will remain connected for a

>>After a further 2 minutes you will receive a message informing you
>>that you are not one of the lucky winners. The total bill will be

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.

by Jez in

i was at university the other night in the computer lab, cruising this site, well a fellow classmate who has been in my class since sept and we have become friends, walks past, looks at the site i am on and says, "i noticed you are on a jw site, did you know i am a jw, are you one?".

i was shocked.

i turned to him and let loose,.
