I sent you a follow up email. The address for Beth Shan is Cnr LeBarron and avion way. I have found my pictures, will scan them and put them up soon. A couple of the pictures were taken in the underground shelter.

Farkel, If I do not have an address for you in the next seven days that can be be confirmed then I am a sad sorry sob who gets their jollys from BS'ing on the net (sounds like youknew or fredhall!). I have personally been to beth shan along with my wife and son (in late 1990's-2000). I can absolutely confirm it's existance. I will have to do a search for the address. The owner of Beth Shan is very old and will allow no-one to visit however I had better luck with the owners of the house with the underground shelter. I have Ed Gruss's book and by looking at the structure of the shelter it is not a bomb shelter rather a hiding place. I also have a video showing the concrete being laid on the top of the shelter. I will have a look and respond with the area soon.

I have read with great interest your posts on the history of the WT. Very informative.
In a previous thread you mentioned that Beth Shan had been torn down. It is still standing. It is in a gated community in San Diego, I will see if I can remember the address. In addition to the house still being occupied there is another house built over the underground shelter. I have visited the underground shelter a couple of times and found it quite interesting.

Acts pronoun problems
by peacefulpete init has long been noticed that the book of acts shifts from first to third person and back when describing the legendery travels of paul.
the author alternates between "we"/"us" to "they" when describing the same characters and narrative.
this is first seen in chapt.

Very simple answer. Luke accompanied Paul for some of the time. When he was present he used 'we' and when he was not present he used 'he' or 'they'.

You Aussies, Is this true?
by rekless ini met some friends from austrailia and we were talking politics.
they said that everybody in austrailia had to vote.
if you did not vote you are fined.

Technically it is not compulsory to vote in Australia. It IS compulsory to attend the polling booth and have your name off the list. After that you can choose to complete the voting form or, do as I do, leave it blank.

I really enjoyed the article regarding Beth Sarim. The history of this house is facinating. Also discussed is the other property Beth Shan. It is true that an underground shelter was build near the mansion however it was a more a hiding place from the authorities rather than a bomb shelter. I have visited the shelter twice and while the concrete is thick it may not withstand direct bomb attack. It also has ventilation shafts that were covered up by tables on top. The house still exists and the current owner is very old and does not want visitors. The shelter is actually on another property now.
The events in San Diego have facinated me and I agree that the book 'Monuments to False Prophecy' is a great read however I thought I would clarify the issue.

From the 1975 yearbook page 232
The motion picture "Heritage," also produced by the Watch Tower Society in 1966, dealt with the various temptations faced by young persons today. However, Angelo C. Manera, Jr., remarks that it showed "what the youth of the New World society were doing and how they were overcoming these temptations and following a Christian course of action." Unique in that it had a sound track, unlike other recent movies produced by the Society, it was shown by many television stations. So, thousands viewed it in their homes. "Heritage" also was presented at circuit assemblies and other public gatherings.
