Info needed on Hosea (Jonathan Berg)

Posted by Researching on May 28, 2006 at 01:51:58

I posted this below but then the page got really busy & no one replied so I'm posting again. I'm trying to put together a brief history of Hosea (Jonathan Berg) & the info I've gathered is pretty sketchy so far. Can anyone help fill in the dots or point out errors in the following?

Hosea was involved in printing Family literature for many years. He was in charge of the publication Home in Chinbrook Road, near London, England, in the early 1970’s. During the 80’s he was in Hong Kong where he published several Mo Volumes under the name ‘Gold Lion Publishers’. Hosea & his two wives, Esther & Ruthie & all their children moved to Macau near Hong Kong where they lived for many years. By the late 80’s & early 90's, Hosea was put through various ‘breakings’ & retrainings like his sister Faithy.

Also, anyone know how involved he was in the stuff that happened to Merry Berg & the other teens there? I've heard he could be harsh but was he actually involved in the victor end of things & planning the disciplines?
