No I wasn't in Bethel. I think it was mentioned here many years ago and I thought it was interesting because such a thing is quite rare. Not many people leave because of doctrinal reasons and its even more rare that more than one individual leaves. I suppose the leading brothers at Bethel were terrified that many would join them? Do you know what happened to them afterwards? Did they join some other religion? I remember they even had their own blog online about some biblical topics.

yes I remember what happened in Breton Court one the accommodation blocks in Finchley. It started out as a study group, we were all invited but I guess I wasn’t super spiritual I would rather be playing football or in the gym.
then I hear people asking everyone did you get involved in that study group at all? I didn’t but some in my department did. Then we all hear about the scandal that this study group came out and said the GB were wrong about many things and they had the true meaning of the scriptures.
it was a massive scandal
as far as I know the main players all got dissfellowshiped
they were many who were part involved or went along once or twice to their study meetings who were closely watched this brother Dale Warren was one of them. He told me about serious this was and had to go and have regular shepherding calls with top brass
