Where the old '69 Woodstock festival was held is now the Bethel Woods Center of Preforming Arts. It is just absolutely a beautiful venue for concerts. You get the feeling that no money was spared in transforming that site into the place it is now. It's not too far from where I live.

When I saw Ringo Starr & His All Star Band it was I think 2000 and he put together a good band that year. Eric Carmen from the Rasberries, Jack Bruce the drummer from Cream, and Andy Summers from the Police, and more I don't remember. Forgot to put Peter Framton on my short list. I'm envious of any here who's been to an Elton John concert. Around here they are sold out in an hour.

Despite a facade of joy, enthusiam, and zeal that some manage to display, I believe by far the vast majority don't want to be out there preaching, but do so for different reasons, guilted into it, please parents, please elders, support from parents (money, car) liking the alternative of getting a job less than preaching...... Growing up in the shadow of Brooklyn Bethel and spending my adult life near Wat Farm I have known 1000s of bethelites, some as good friends. Out of all of those 1000s (probably many 1000s) over a time period of 40+ years there were two couples that left Bethel because they loved and missed full time preaching so much. One prominate Bethel brother told me that Bethel was for all those that felt obligated to serve full time but can't stand the preaching work. I don't fault them, I did not like preaching. I would have derserved to be fired. But if it's what in your heart that counts most of us would be condemmed. How many pioneer's exceed their hours? If they used to do a hundred but now are only required to do seventy why aren't they still doing a hundred? Hard to exceed at a job that your heart and mind is just not into.

Who is supposed to do the "Separating Work" for the new magazines?
by nochoice inso, there is a bit of a fight going on in our hall between our pioneer sisters and our magazine servant.
since the new magazines are boxed with two issues together, there is a bit of work to be done separating them.
our magazine servant stacked them on the counter as usual, right out of the box.

How does the WT feel about dating methods?
by Christ Alone ini'm talking about dating methods that scientists use such as carbon 14, potassium-argon, rehydoxylation dating, etc.... .
i know that many christian fundamentalist groups speak of how false early dates can be reached by many of these dating systems.
but i was wondering how much the wt rejects them.

That would depend on whether the dating method used supported or refuted whatever the point was the WT was trying to make.

1914 - It was the end of the world as we knew it - things got much better!
by TheStumbler ini was having a conversation with a jw relative recently i casually mentioned how much better the world is than a few centuries.
obviously the jw was incredulous.
the next day i found an email in my inbox listing a few qoutes from notable people saying how the world has gotten much worse since 1914 and that 1914 was a pivitol year.

So why don't JW's view the "spiritual decline" in the world as something good? If they have the only true religion the world's spiritual decline would at least mean the world is moving away from false religion. Easy to turn that spiritual decline arguement right around on them. Hudson Valley NY
