Yes, that scene still seems to play frequently in your mind. Part of your post traumatic church syndrome. Just think, had it not been for Mel Porter and his heavy-handed ways you might be at least an elder by now. Then "churching" might have a completely different connotation for you. I can picture that meeting too. Of course, it has a somewhat different meaning for me.
