What does the exclamation point after the figure of those baptised mean? Does it mean '18 - hurrah that's great', or does it mean '18 wow - I didn't expect so many - I thought people were generally smarter than that'? Or does it mean '18 - that's interesting because 18 minus 4 = 14 which points to the non-event of 1914 and therefore - wow this is a particularly significant number in terms of biblical prophecy'?

how many wanted to just run away?...disappear?....after....
by oompa in....waking up to the real truth about the truth?......when it first really hit me like a shovel in the face.....i actually said to the co i would have to leave my wife and son (not hers)) and he is now 20 (not the co..my son), and i said it because i knew i would now never measure up to the "spiritual head" model.
cause i knew it was all bs...but have not really ran away yet....at least not for more than a week at a time.........doing better actually.......but did you want to at least move or something?
?...........oompa

Hey Oompa, you are not alone. I did run away and I did hide. I moved out of home, didn't tell anyone where I was going, I quit my job - and obviously pioneering as well - and I went into serious hermit mode. I had a bit of money saved to live off for a while. For about four or five months I was locked in my rented place and I just read and read and read. By that stage I had no money left so I ate very little and just kept on reading and taking as much in as possible. It helped put things in some kind of perspective. The harshness of the reality in terms of the implications of the borg was diminished slightly by being able to see it for what it was from the outside.
When the dubs found out where I had moved they started calling constantly. So I just packed up my stuff and moved again - this time interstate. And again - I just read and watched films and tried to figure out how to be an honest 'me' in this very weird situation. Running and being a hermit helped.
I suspect you need to find a way to put this stuff into perspective and not let it consume you. If you allow it to consume you - well, then the borg is still impacting on your life... and they kind of win. Don't let them win.

New light at DC: It's the greeks fault
by outofthebox inthe speaker said: "that is why the greeks created academies and gymnasiums.
they were directed by satan to bring the jews apart from god".

Upon reflection - that seriously sucks. My mum is going to the convention in two weeks and from what I can gather she is going to get bombarded with anti-university crap and now the Satanic Greeks....this is not going to be pretty. Her approach of looking the other way in regards to my career is really going to be challenged. Darn it.

Anyone interested in numerology?
by Sunnygal41 ini find such things fascinating.
feel free to share anything you care to.. as an example, i am sharing some information i found for the number 40:.
40 = 4 = humanity's movement through time to completion, closure.

I would suggest you take Crowley's work with a very large grain of salt. He's not the most rigorous or critical writer.
Although he and Mm. Blavatsky are on opposite ends of the black/white dichotomy - they both used numerology, or gematria which they attributed to Pythagoras. Particularly Gematria - that has always been attributed to Pythagoras, who was pretty cool after all. He wore paper shoes because he was a vegetarian and didn't want to wear animal products on his body. He could also walk on water and could be in two different places at once. Love the big P., he rocks.

Trapped in an elevator...

Layla - that is hillarious!
I only have one experience of elevator excitement. I was in the elevator going up to my office with a colleague. The elevator phone rang. Now that's never happened before. So after a few rings I answered it rather tentatively. The person on the other end thought they were phoning a friend of theirs. It took some explaining before they finally accepted that they had actually phoned an elevator. I rode up and down in the elevator while I talked to the person on the other end. I was nearly crying with laughter.
