Dear Dave and Penni,

I wrote you and ordered a few books back in August. These books (Crisis
of Conscience, Combatting Cult Mind Control, and Apocalypse Delayed) have
helped us finalize our stand. Along with talking out many feelings with
other friends . . . we sent in our letter of disassociation this week.

The local body of elders . . . approached us last
week and had a judicial committee all wound up to investigate us on
charges of apostasy. (My wife has a craft business. She rents a small
space in this store to sell her product. She decorated the booth with a
winter scene. This winter scene was seen as a Christmas setting. Charges
were brought up to us as apostasy.) We cracked up. They were intent on
finding something to get rid of us. We were certainly not going to go
through the kangaroo court, so we sent in our letter. (no honorable way
out.)

Anyway, I thought you would get a chuckle out of that. We are going
through some fall out but not to bad. We have each other and our son who
also left 2 months ago. We are burnt out with religion right now and
need a break to heal. We love God and want to serve Him, and I know when
the time is right, He will show us the way. Thank you so much for your
cyber space ministry. You were my first contact when I started my search
back in April.

Your research helped us to see the other side of the
issue. We will always be grateful for that. If we can do anything to help
you, please let us know. May God continue to bless you and your wife.

Sincerely,
Marc, Bobbie, and Noel Hebert
