My wife and spiritual mentor, She Who Must Be Obeyed, has just reminded me that, wherever Dr. Bob banished you to a week ago, it could not have been Purgatory: Orthodox Christians believe (without, of course, being disrespectful or unsupportive towards those who believe otherwise) that the dogma of Purgatory is simply an ancient Greek myth adopted without scriptural justification by the Roman Church long after the Great Schism of 1054, and anathematized by the Council convened in Constantinople by Patriarch Jeremias in 1583. Please forgive my doctrinal error.
I'm still looking forward to your return, though :)
