See what i mean , the things you learn on here. I never heard this one , what is it ?
haha. that's what I say. Also the many other tropical island "branches" with "visitor accomodations." You can bid on them if you are a bethelite, missionary or CO/DO using your "years in full-time service." My folks did that a few times. I was like, "so what did you DO there..." evidently just vacationed. Oh yeah, and went to all the meetings and out in service in the "local territory." LOL!

WHAT IS IT? excuse me for shouting but i got to know.
Um, it's a branch office in Honolulu. They call lots of the larger branches "Educational Facilities" now. Probably makes it easier to keep their tax-exempt status, just in case their religious profits ever come into question...

Thanks Odrade, so ,no one really knows why it is there or what it is used for .
Well, it is one of the older branches in the Pacific, started off as a missionary home I suppose, and the location was convenient for other missionary placements. Kind of a jumping off point I guess since Honolulu is a major international city. But I suspect someone was just sitting around one day counting the surplus money and said "Let's put one right here... wouldn't that be GREAT?" Haha.
I think i smell a rat. This is very interesting ,indeed
I once got to vacation at a lovely guest house on the Walkill farm, due to my wife's Uncle's bethel seniority.
I guess, I'm gonna have to search the web better
