Thx for this thread. Nice & enlightening.
Special thx to LWT, Jomvk, JWfacts, and EE for sharing their insights.
JWF, the condom thing was priceless!

I knew a bethelite who was eventually caught stealing and "booted out". He was on the night cleaning crew, and stole (rumored) about $700 from a graduated Gilead student, waiting for her visa to leave. Word got out, the hat was passed around Bethel, she ended up with a couple grand from us all.
I remember that morning breakfast after the robbery... it was Fred Franz's day at the table...."Today's text comments are NOT directed to the bethel family.....but, TO THE THIEF AMONG US!!!" Man, he laid into it for about 10 minutes! Don't know how they caught him, but they did....it was some new boy from Texas.
I know of two younger bethelites who were playing a prank on a friend - they were going to burst into his room at night and spray him in his bed with water guns. The prank went almost exactly as planned, except they got the rooms mixed up and ended up soaking a married couple. They were kicked out for that.
I knew a guy that got kicked out for comic book reading too. WOW! He was there less than a year (was supposed to be going for 2yrs).
Comic books?
That's really really weird.
I can understand porn, "debasing" music, etc., as the mags have railed against that sort of thing for decades.
But I don't recall any article, any talk, any anything, that even hinted at comic books.
What kind of comics were they? There's some pretty expliit manga stuff out there, but I can't wrap my head around being asked to leave because you like Spiderman.

Bethel does not sound like Mecca. It sounds worse than jail.
I never heard of the comic book thing either.
I don't know why they even bother if they're so ready to kick someone out over the smallest thing.
