Maybe this is what is happening. One of the letters that Luke CM published on dreamwater.org was GN 975 "Vows of Surrender Ceremony!" By Maria 10/01. Par 59 starts with I, ,Thank you, adore you, and praise You, Jesus, for choosing me. This continues until par. 62 which ends with (End of vow.). So this is the vow that people vowed on that big meeting they had. This vow was also reproduced as a single-pager. On top it says "VOW OF SURRENDER TO JESUS". The first lines starts the same as in the letter except that there is a long line to incert a name. "I, _____________________ thank you, adore You...." It is the same prayer-vow as in GN 975-Vows of the Surrender Ceremony only the type is larger, etc. It may be that indivdual members were given out this single page to sign their names on the line. If so, everybody did, Gary and eveybody else. I think I saw something like this with Gary's name incerted on one of the boards. Someone incerted the name, I am sure it was not the original that Gary had signed,if he has signed it. So maybe Joseph saw this same thing with different signatures. Both signatures are correct in that sense, that is if these single-pagers were signed by all. By being a member of the Family Gary has had to sign it, if not with his hand, with his remaining in the group. Appolos could not have signed this because he left long before this date. This may be what Joseph is talking about, but again, I don't know. SamAjemian
