Revelation and a time line?????
by lydia ini have been studing the book of revelation for some time now... the understanding i have of the dubs is that it is a time line...i have always had a hard time with that since so many of the visions give the similar description about it.. recently i have read the augsburg comentary on the new testament revelation..... it gives the opinion that it is not ment as a time line but as a cycle of viions that are giving a diffrent version of the same idea...and the main theme is worship... anyone have a diffrent pespective?
?

Any Ideas on how to help those Lost Dubs??
by lydia inwe need to put our heads together here - we need to figure out how to gently help those who come here seeking information to realize what it is the borg is trying to hide from them.... .
lets face it - it takes alot for those who are in or newly associated to get on here and start to look... .
how can we make this an easier thing for them - so that we don't over whelm them??.

Ever been counciled for doing a craft??
by lydia incoming from central pa - i get to see lots of quilts - and i have started to quilt myself - although i recieved lots of council about spending the long hours alone on a quilt ( the brother apparently never heard the words "quilting bee" ) i finally quit doing them for a while because of the pressure i was getting..... finnally when i realized that i needed to do some form of craft as a stress reducer ( from all the pressure from the borg) i told the elders where to go - and also said " i'd be happy to quit quilting - are you going to pay for the pyschiatri help and the meds they may prescribe??
this is therapy for me!!".
it shut him up for a bit.. .
