  i received a package today from the netherlands and i figured it was from my secret santa.

  i opened it and inside was a note saying that she isn't my santa, but had seen that i liked frogs and had too many little statues around her house so she thought i might like to have them and she sent me her frogs.

  inside the box were 6 beautiful little frogs to add to my collection !

  i think i posted this a couple of years ago, but thought it was well worth resurrecting.. you can make this by putting foil over the obvious spots..

  So I finally said "I am pagan"

  by Sirona in

  i told my jw mum and jw brother that i'm pagan, i mean, this time i really told them.. previously i'd "mentioned it" to my mum, who seemed to accept it, but then chose to totally ignore what i'd said.. anyway, i suspect my jw brother reads this board, because of some things he said.... .

  my mother said i'm "jumping on the bandwagon" which made me think she knows more about neo-paganism than i'd realised lol .

  my brother surprised me very much.

  Good for you Sirona!

  I'd hate to think of how my JW parents would react if they found out I was pagan. I got a lecture of my exjw brother and sister when they found out I was talking to apostates, and another when they found out I was pagan so god knows what my parents would say.

  Are you going to the PF conference in Croyden this weekend? If so you'll be able to find me in the hotel bar at Jury's all night.....

  All Secret Santa Paricipants sign in here please!

  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.

  Could WBTS be forced to pay tax in America?

  in another thread link said: .

  i am not well versed in u.s. tax laws but it is my understanding that even in the u.s.anyone making loans on which interest is charged is considered to be operating a taxable business.

  in the u.k. the societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid.

  In the U.K. the Societies loans are interest free but they take control of the building once the loan has been completely repaid. This way they retain the cash without paying any tax.

  Does anyone know enough about US tax laws to comment on this? Could what is happening in France happen in America too?

  Dorothy, you have a pm.

  Everybody who is taking part in the secret santa should now have a message telling them the name and address of the person who they have to send a gift to. Anybody who still wants to take part, or if they thought they were taking part but have not received a pm can they pm their address details tom me asap.
