I believe Beth Sarim is also mentioned in the 1975 Yearbook of JW's, which details the history of the organization. It is rather one-sided, but surprisingly, even includes information about Miracle Wheat.

If someone told you they would give you $10 M,,,,,, if you,,,,,,
by AK - Jeff injust closed your eyes, threw a dart at the world map, and would have to take the 10 million, get on a plane within the hour, move to that location, and never look back, contact your friends or relatives again.
no rule changes.
you can take your mate and/or minor children, but can tell no one else.

There are certain places where a woman wouldn't want to live, period, even with $ 10M. I'm thinking of certain countries in the Middle East and Africa where a woman is viewed as worth less than some animals, so unless I could retain the option to decline the offer if I didn't like the location, I'd pass.

A JW I know has had his own janitorial business for years, cleaning offices and windows, and claiming that it pays quite well. However, about a year ago, he took a full time job with the railroad. His reason was that they "had a good medical and dental plan, and a good retirement plan". So apparantly, he expects to work long enough to retire from the railroad.

I have an old King James, a Revised Standard, and a NWT. I generally prefer the RS.

Perhaps he went and stood "very" close to the flaming sword at the entrance to the garden, and trimmed his hair that way?

Any time there is a change in the status quo, established vested interests try to resist the changes, which creates turmoil. As the system finds a new equilibrium, the momentary instability is perceived as "going downhill". Technological advances have made life vastly better than in previous centuries. Yet each new advance brings its own problems which demand solutions. 110 years ago, automobiles were considered a desireable development, as they were expected to solve the problem of horse manure which plagued large cities. These piles bred flies, which spread disease. And as they dried up and were ground to dust by the wheels of passing wagons, the dust blew around and got into peoples eyes and throats. Autos pretty much did away with that problem, but they brought their own problems, and actually changed society. Many people who had lived prior to the advent of the automobile longed for the "good old days" before cars "ruined" everything. A similar account can be given for almost any innovation, be it electricity, radio, television, medical advances, airplanes, nuclear energy, birth control, DNA research, electronics, all have forced changes in society, which some perceived as a negative change. And in truth, some developments have been APPLIED in a negative manner. Changes in the way a nation earns money also end existing jobs, and create new jobs. 100 years ago, the U.S. was the leading manufacturing economy in the world, now other nations manufacture most of the goods consumed in the U.S., too bad if you worked in manufacturing for one of the old companies such as Packard, Hudson, Studebaker, Schwinn, Columbia, Zenith, Quasar, RCA or any number of companies which either closed their doors completely, or farmed out their manufacturing to Asia. Also, sometimes there seems to be a misstep, such as (IMHO), the Bush presidency. Yet overall, even with debacles like this, the progress of society as a whole has been ever upward. For every job lost to some overseas company, new jobs have been created. And overall, more people have jobs now, at least, among those who actually want to work. Would anyone really wish to live as an average person in 1750? How about 1500? Anyone want to live in 1250? (I know I wouldn't do that again, as some relatives were actually burned at that time, no kidding!). Just as the world of "right now" is, overall, vastly better than the world of 1750, the world of 2250 will be vastly better than the world of "right now". These are actually exciting and interesting times to live in, to witness the changes taking place which are going to make the world of tomorrow so much better for future generations.
