THE LATEST FROM LONDON BETHEL
by Jim Dee inthe move to central uk (either milton keynes or derby) has been scrapped - it has not yet been formally announced but is common knowledge in bethel.
the society is now buying a "brown feld site" (the old gas works next to bittacy hill) for a reduced rate and a huge government grant as the land needs to be cleaned before build.
they are selling some of the prime land at bethel they own for housing (planning permission has already been obtained).. they are using part of the site of the french bethel for storage of magazines (thereby circumventing the new tax laws) and are selling the rest of the site off.. more news as soon as i get it.

Can You Defend Yourself before a J. Committee?
by D wiltshire into those who have been before a judicial committee for apostacy.. the elders will ask you questions not for the purpose of finding out the truth, but to make sure they can df you.. at my appeal hearing serveral months ago i was questioned by the appeal committees to their satifaction, they even thanked me for my honesty, as it helped them get what they were looking for to make the original dfing stand.. after they were finished with their questions i ask if i could now defend myself and prove that i was telling the truth and not a biblical apostate.. the chairman informed me that i would not be allowed to defend myself.. i looked at all 8 brothers(2 committees 5 & 3) in total amazement at his refusal to allow me to defend myself.
to them(8) it seem perfectly alright not to allow me to defend myself.. wow.. the chairman said they really were not a judicial court and did not need to be that concerned about doing things in harmony with what is concidered to be fair and right by worldly courts or the bible.
in fact the chairman spent about 10 minutes trying to explain why they didn't have have to be fair in the legalistic way of courts.. .
