    During the time I spent in Bethel there were numerous stories just like these that fellow bethelites told all the time. I especially like the swinger stories between elders wives and also the homo stories that came out of Brooklyn.

    The weirdest case I heard about in the kingdom hall was:

    An issue arose on the body of elders of who was in charge. The PO (presiding overseer) said that he was in charge since he was the PO, but the SO (service overseer) claimed that he knew what was best for the congregation. Not wanting to let this little squabble escape to the rest of the hall, the PO decided to not have the SO removed until he had a chance to prove who would be a better leader. To demonstrate that he was more capable, one saturday, the PO bought a pear tree and planted it in the garden area in back of the hall. That Sunday, before the meeting he announced the new addition to the garden but told the congregation that they should not eat from it. No, they should not eat from it for in the day that they do, they would be disfellowshipped.

    When the SO heard what the PO said he was po'ed himself. This wasn't an official commandment. There wasn't any biblical backing for him to forbid the congregation from eating of the tree. So, surreptiously, after the meeting he slithered through the congregation and whispered that anyone could eat of the tree freely without worry of disfellowshipping. But, to protect himself, he only told the sisters. That way, since they have less credibility than the brothers, he'd have easy deniablity.

    Well, as you can imagine, the sisters started telling their husbands about what they had learned. The next thing you know, brother and sister alike were eating from the forbidden tree. It didn't take long for word to get to the PO and that Thursday, at the service meeting, in the cool of the evening, the PO gave a local needs talk about the tree. After the talk, from the podium, the PO asked the congregation for a show of hands of who had eaten from the tree. One by one, hands began to rise in the air. The brothers and sisters looked around and realized that they had all, each and everyone, eaten from the forbidden fruit. The PO demanded to know who had eaten from the tree first but everyone was pointing at someone else. It seemed impossible to tell who truly had caused this disastrous situation.

    At that very moment, a realization swept over the entire congregation. In an instant, they all seemed to recognize how foolish they looked. Worrying about eating a piece of fruit? What a silly situation. So, the next Saturday, before the meeting for field service, the PO brought his axe and chopped down the tree.

    There were two sisters that murdered an older man in the same condo complex. Apparently they were bragging about it in school. They were arrested and are still serving time. The PO had to go to prison to meet with them to DF. As far as I know, no one has gome back into that complex. It was a bit creepy, because I used to live in that complex. This took place in Los Angeles.

    In keeping with being a-political and non-voting, the PO recruited selected individuals, who he personally rendezvoused with at city hall in order to get them to be registered to vote, which was a requirement in order to go thru the neighborhood collecting signatures for a petition on an upcoming election having to do with zoning changes that might affect the kingdom hall and property that he owned that was adjacent.
