| ELCA, Toledo - Staring at a screen - is anything more symbolic of the Fulleroids? |

| The two Heidi pastors lead Jeske's Change or Die! conference, though the name is hidden behind "Re-imagining." How droll! The new image is more of a nightmare. |

| Hide the facts if "they" are not ready for it yet. Set a few new precedents and say, "You are the only one objecting." |
