  Hi Confession,

  I would say it is a rare event, I do not think violence physical violence happens too often in bethel, though there were verbal fights from time to time. It is generally a very controlled place with people very careful not to do anything out of the ordinary.

  I was disturbed by what happened and after some time decided to discuss it with my overseer. He said that this brother had made great improvements in his life and so I should overlook it. I doubt he was ever confronted about it.

  In the Bethel of France there was a non-official practice of "repentance baptism" in the kitchen sink, but that falls into the prank category.

  Greetings again jwfacts

  Thanks so much for posting that.

  Greetings ithinkisee

  Thank you too for reposting the link to your thread, as I missed it. I absolutely delight in reading bios such as yours, as it shows that those guys at Bethel put their pants on one leg at a time too. It also shows that the"larger than life" appearances some of them attempt to promote is moot.
