When your father flogged you of a capital punishment did he say that you had sinned. If not take your father to court and sue the pants off of him for child abuse.

I must ask this, have you ever tried to ring the bells again. if so you are missing your calling to the house of God.

Anyway in-case of fire ring the bell anyway.

I doubt it was a sin, just a lil rude.
Some towns have ordinances about when the bells can be rang. In a lot of churches they are only rang to signify prayer. Before fire dpts and such came out they were rang to signify emergency, and in some smaller areas, still are.

The ONLY sin I noted in this question was

"being flogged".

If I was your mother I might've helped you ring the bell. (Explaining later about boundaries.) But hey, that's me.
