    Just2, we'd love for you guys to come again. You are always welcome! Jimbob, you and your wife too.

    I found it interesting that Christmas decorations were reported. Hmmmm. Funny how neither one of those elders had ever been to our house since we moved out of the territory four years ago yet they didn't ask for an address or directions.

    Yes Swan, it is freeing and will make a great vacation better.

    Thanks Princess. From what I've read on this forum, I hear you're quite the hostess! That's very nice of you to open up your home for everyone to get together. I sent you an email regarding your party. Have fun in the sun!!!

    Rachel, I think you and Steve handled yourselves with dignity and class, something the congregation failed in to you. They really have no love and showed it over the past 7 years.

    Princess,

    You are one classy lady.

    I would have been a little put off by someone showing up questioning me and my family. Im sure I would have been all defensive etc. You handled it very nicely.

    Take care and enjoy the holidays with your family.

    That was a classy exit. To have taken the high road and have given the men hugs on their way out left an impression I'm sure. It must be nice to finally be free of it all It also must feel a bit unusual as this major chapter in your life comes to an end.

    Congratulations.

    Donkey that's EXACTLY what it feels like, I wrote this up ohh what 2 years ago now wow,

    If Id been tried on H2O heres what part of my trial might have sounded like:

    JWS: An Apostate! An Apostate! An Apostate! We've got an Apostate! An Apostate!
    FRED HALL: We have found an Apostate, might we disfellowship her?
    JWS: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship!
    YK: How do you know she is a Apostate?
    FRIDAY: She looks talks one.
    YK: Bring her forward.
    VENICE: I'm not a Apostate. I'm not a Apostate.
    YK: But they say you speak like one.
    VENICE: Its all things they have taught.
    JWS: No, we didn't... no.
    VENICE: the WTS is not a true prophet; it's a false one.
    YK: Well?
    FRED HALL: Well, we did change some things.
    YK: The dates?
    FRED HALL: And some doctrines -- but she is a Apostate!
    JWS: Disfellowship her! Apostate! Apostate! Disfellowship her!
    YK: Did you teach her these things?
    JWS: No, no... no ... yes. Yes, yes, a bit, a bit.
    FRED HALL: She has got a different Bible.
    YK: What makes you think she is a Apostate?
    7: Well, shes done research on our religion.
    YK: Research?
    7: Yes, she found out the truth!
    FRIDAY: Disfellowship her anyway!
    JWS: Disfellowship! Disfellowship her!
    YK: Quiet, quiet. Quiet! There are ways of telling whether
    she is a Apostate.
    JWS: Are there? What are they?
    YK: Tell me, what do you do with Apostates?
    FRIDAY: Disfellowship!
    JWS: Disfellowship, disfellowship them up!
    YK: And what do you disfellowship apart from Apostates?
    FRED HALL: More Apostates!
    FRIDAY: Sinners?
    YK: So, why do we disfellowship Apostates?
    [pause]
    7: B--... 'cause they're made of wood...?
    YK: Good!
    JWS: Oh yeah, yeah...
    YK: So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?
    FRED HALL: Build a bridge out of her.
    YK: Aah, but can you not also build bridges out of stone?
    FRIDAY: Oh, yeah.
    YK: Does wood sink in water?
    FRED HALL: No, no.
    FRIDAY: It floats! It floats!
    FRED HALL: Throw her into the pond!
    JWS: The pond!
    YK: What also floats in water?
    FRED HALL: Bread!
    FRIDAY: Apples!
    7: Very small rocks!
    FRED HALL: Cider!
    FRIDAY: Great gravy!
    FRED HALL: Cherries!
    FRIDAY: Mud!
    7: Churches -- churches!
    FRIDAY: Lead -- lead!
    Milton H: A duck.
    JWS: Oooh.
    YK: Exactly! So, logically...,
    FRED HALL: If... she.. weighs the same as a duck, she's made of wood.
    YK: And therefore--?
    FRED HALL: An Apostate!
    JWS: An Apostate!
    YK: We shall use my larger scales!
    [yelling]
    YK: Right, remove the supports!
    [whop]
    [creak]
    JWS: An Apostate! An Apostate!
    VENICE: It's my lawyer!!
    JWS: Disfellowship her! Disfellowship! [yelling]
    YK: Who are you who are so wise in the ways of science?
    MILTON H.: I am a MILTON H., of the GB.
    YK: My liege!
    MILTON H.: Good Sir knight, will you come with me to Brooklyn,
    and join us on the Governing Body?
    YK: My liege! I would be honored.
    MILTON H.: What is your name?
    YK: You Know, my leige.
    MILTON H.: Then I dub you Sir YK, Knight of the GB table.
