An hour or so ago, there was a post saying we needed Donations for the CJ2A Page to stay afloat. So I sent 50 bucks via PayPal. But now that's all disappeared.....  Did I just get scammed?

Russ always puts a disclaimer in the public request that once needed funds are met, that the request will be removed.... Apparently your donation took the request over the top, Thank you...

Sponsor Member will appear under your Avatar pic in your profile name to the left on all posts..."everyone will know you are a cj2apage Sponsor"

Look at mine in this post...I see X 2 is appearing on some so I must have been overlooked. I submitted some coin on the last go round before this one.

I will be glad donate to the "Church of The Latter Day WILLYS".

I certainly owe "The 2A Page+ a donation for all the wonderful daily Sermons I have read.

I guess I have missed the plate lately so how do I go about this "Pastor RUSS"?

I need to play catch up so I can find out about the "Handshake"!
