With a title like that you would think that we had encountered some type of persecution or torture what we believe and were teaching. If that is what you were thinking then you were wrong, BUT if you count being beatin with a paddle on the behind and back while tied down then - YES.
Yesterday we went to see a Korean Folk Village near Osan. We had the day off and so our hosts, Brother Lee and his daughter th0ught it would be fun. So we started off and saw some old houses and camps and then moved to a performance area. There we say some tradition dancing and music and it was pretty sweet! Then it moved to aerobics stuff with a trapeeze artist. And after that we saw an equestrian show and all of this was at the Korean Folk Village. After we watched these performances we moved on to a tour of the area and visited a sort of prison. As we reached the prison we could see kids getting climbing on these small crosses that were parallel to the ground and their parents were taking a paddle and were fake hitting them and taking pictures of it.
I thought it was funny...atleast a little funny. I asked people if they would be willing to get on there and take a picture and no one volunteered...that's no fun, so I finally said I would do it. As you can tell from the picture above I got beat! As I laid myself down on the cross, stomach first, I place my hands and feet to be tied underneath rope. Everyone's cameras were out included all the Koreans around as they were thoroughly entertained that an American was doing this. Alex was going to fake hit me, or so I thought. As I am smiling and posing for the picture, Brother Lee - 50 year old, calm, quiet, gentle, Korean, Brother Kee - takes the paddle and starts wailing on me! He was hitting me hard! I was so shocked and surprised that I just started laughing. What do you do at that point? If I new him better I would have gotten up and started hitting him. He hit me a good 10 times in the back and butt! It hurt!
I never thought that would happen and especially not at the hands of Brother Lee!
I have now faced persecution in Korea...okay, maybe not.
