Bethelites....a real catch ?

ok everyone i'm pretty new here and here's my two cents... one thing i could not figure out was...what was the craze with bethelites ?

as a reg pioneer supposedly i was a lock for local sis..but from my point of view sisters practically fell over themselves trying to get a piece of these guys.. myself i was never one to let anyone go unoticed.. i was equal opprotunity..especially for the spanish sis's in the spanish cong..speaking of which have any of you guys ever been to one of the spanish conventions ?

i had to pick my tongue off the ground several times..hehehe.
