You get the idea. It is not in writing. And Unto is right that even what those of us from much earlier days can tell you is vague and general. Nothing specific or definitive.

I'm sure had there been iPhones and digital voice recorders back in the day we could provide you with the evidence you seek. However I don't think one needs to be jumping to conclusions to read Benson Phillips' quote here and assume that what was said behind closed doors could be much, much worse....and I'm here to tell you that it absolutely was. It took me YEARS to get over the psychological fear that was instilled within. Most of the older members now know that this is a kind of old wives tale...just as many current members get into car accidents and die of cancer as former members.

Of course the "cure" for this kind of nonsense, as always, is the Word of God:
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Matthew 10:28
