Attention 50+ year old Ex-Bethelites
I posted this on the Bethelite thread also.
About 1976, give or take a year, I went on a Bethel Tour, with several witnesses from all over Tu!sa. 2 women and their nerdy daughters, my friend and myself, from my cong.
My friend and I were so cheap, that we missed out on alot of sightseeing, like the Statue of Liberty, because we wouldn't spend the little bit of money we had. One evening, instead of going out to eat, we ordered pizza, to our hotel room. Seems like the hotel had the name of Three or Green in the name. ??????
After we ate our pizza, I am not sure how it transpired, but... my friend was always a man magnet Bethel boys were in our room. I think I remember about 6 of them. We just sat on the beds and talked, and laughed. My friend and I on one bed, and the boys around the room, and on the other bed. We told some jokes, the worst one, was something about Noah.
Well, one of the nerdy girls, knocked on the door, we let her in, she stayed for a couple of minutes, and left. We didn't think anything about it. OMG All HELL broke loose, within 5 minutes. 1 of the women from my cong, (She was my prom chaperon, from the prom thread a couple of months ago), came up, with the elder organizer, and told the boys they had to leave. My friend and I then got a lecture, about how bad we were, and the Bethel Boys would get into big trouble also.
When we got back home, there was an elders meeting, with friend and I, and our parents. OMG We did nothing wrong!!!! The elders tried so hard to get something out of us, that wasn't true. I remember them asking the same questions over and over. I always wondered what happened to the boys.
I figure they were called on the carpet also. Could you be kicked out for something like that??
Anyway, does anybody remember us?? LOL OR Were you in our room???
