As long as they both were in agreement, cool. You kinda get a little bored thier at bethel, and if it improves your sex life that's great.

I do not know about that situation but there were a couple of other similar happenings about 1993 when I was in Bethel Australia.
A married elder in Bethel had an affair with a teenager in his congregation
Another married elder in Bethel had an affair with his wifes best friend, including having sex with her in their Bethel room. This had been going on for 7 years before the best friend started to feel guilty and confess.

Yeah, the married Elder left his wife for the young girl and took off while his wife stayed on at Bethel.

Years ago, I think I heard that several couples were swapping partners in the basement of the K. Hall. They almost had to disband the congregation since they lost so many members.
If you think about it, and this is tongue-in-cheek, why swap?? Elder #1 has boring wife (and life) and so does elder #2. Elder #1 gets wife of elder #2 and elder #2 gets wife of elder #1. Both elders start with boring wives. They switch and end up with equally boring wifes. No improvement, risk of being found out, guilty conscience, and two "sisters" who now will do the "then the claws came out" routine.
I don't think it's worth it with most "sisters". Since they all are made with a cookie cutter design, they are all equally boring.

All the brothers I knew that went to Bethel used to tell me that there were alot of Rump Rangers around there, and they had to keep one eye open while they slept.
