Sara Berg spoke out about Berg (a) advocating women be forced to have sex in front of a crowd & (b) physical force against those women who refused:
Just two weeks prior to the birth of her second child (her third pregnancy) some COG members wanted to know how to have intercourse with pregnant girls. David Berg ruled that someone would have to demonstrate. Paul Berg volunteered but Sarah refused to cooperate. Her husband then beat her across the stomach with a "two by four".
The two-by-four sounds almost unreal, but if Aaron did that it was because he was following Berg's public threats to physically beat unsubmissive women:

17. I’VE GOT A NOTION THAT THE NEXT TIME I hear of a wife that is not willing to submit to her husband—after being admonished in the presence of a few witnesses–we’ll take her in front of the whole congregation and make her submit to her husband—right here!—Laying you out right there and letting him do it right in front of us all! If you won’t do it in the privacy of your own bedroom, you will do it in front of us! ... If we get any more of these husband / wife complaints, we are going to have it out on the ground and see what the problem is! Maybe that little threat will help some of you!
21. IF YOU DON’T GET THE POINT, I’ll feel justified to use this point (cane) on you! Do you hear that Betty, Gail, Connie, Nancy, Claudia, Kathy? I am the final troubleshooter! God will use us, as your parents in the Lord!
