Maybe the unending boringness of the Bethel facilities is partly the reason they've spared no (unaffordable) expense at Warwick? :smirk:

I am a rural hillbilly, and even at the height of my J-dubbieness, I never wanted to go to the "big city" for any reason. Now, with all the videos online of what goes on there, I don't need to go. -

I remember we took the tour around either 1967 or 1968, so was just a kid, but my mother made a big deal about when we were visiting a Bethelite in his room and my dad who wasn't a Dub yet asked as we were all walking out of this room if he should lock door, and the Brother say "nobody has too lock their door around here".
My mother told that story ad nauseum for years about how safe Bethel was, well like I said that was about 1968, you certainly can't say the same thing now !! A story even made the local news here about ten or more years ago that a Bethelite was caught stealing from his "side gig" at a store or something, which is why it made the news. My mother refused to believe that until the Elder from her Hall who lived at Bethel confirmed it for her.

Remember the RIDICULOUS video that they had publishers watch - a video that focused primarily on that work? Making cheese - c'mon...really? Does anyone remember the name of that video? -

I used to give Bethel tours. I used to troll people and tell them that tbe Chandelier in the Patterson auditorium lobby was the original chandelier from the first Phantom of the opera. They'd ooooh and ahhhh and then I'd go, "Just kidding! It used to be at the Stanley Theatre." (Or wherever it was supposed to be from. Don't remember exactly.) -

I seem to remember them serving ice cream at the Stanley and cloud projection on the ceiling. It's been 15 years so my memory might be a bit foggy. -

No no Cappy, The Chandelier at Patterson has 144,000 pieces of crystal. One for every one of the Anointed.
