Yes Verginia you must first be outside looking in for at least one year, then after that IF you have stopped being naughty asumming they know how naughty or nice you really are, then you send the Elders a form of worship to them in the likeness of a begging letter; now your letter must have lots of tears on the paper you know all that mushy stuff like you really belive you have been a real filthy disgusting person who caused vile reproch on the Org. Then I am sure you will be let back into the fold of gods loving Christian brotherhood. Now, if they do not let you in stating the body feels you are not repented enough, if it was me I would go and drink more beer at Freddys Bar and Grile just down the corner from me.
Now I have found better friends than I ever had in the troof at the Elks Club, they forgive me of my sins .
