Questions about Daystar

[Intothewind]

Wouldn't it be great fun if one drove one of these and meandered thru the parking lot of building 8 during the winter trainin?

I remember a significant call to arms for help with building 8. I went for a few days. My father said i ought to go spend a summer working on it. Our locality felt bad as even though we were close by we did not send much help...at least this is what I remember from the mtgs.

That building apparently breaks a few records in the area...lcm seems quite proud of that.

I believe it's more expansion on La Palma. I know brothers from Washington state and northern California who gave their time for the project.

I started hearing about building 8 in the mid to late 2000's if I remember correctly. I think it's officially called the "Ministry Conference Center", and it was an additional building on their LaPalma property. There were frequent requests for free labor (LSM's key to gaining multi-million dollar real estate at minimal cost). Just as Pharaoh made God's people build, so also did LSM ask saints to donate their weekends freely to come and build.

Building 8 is the ministry conference center that trumped all other previous LSM ministry centers. I've been in it, it is gigantic (but nothing special). It's where people go to use up two weeks of vacation every year to listen to ear-tickling preachers.

IIRC, The last time I was out there, Bldg. No. 5 was gutted and used for Trainings. Is Bldg No. 8 new construction?

Bldg 8 is towards the back of the property right up against the freeway. It may have been an existing building, but if so it was significantly redone. I'm not sure what bldg 5 is used for now.
This is the google maps view of bldg 8:

I would like LSM to prominently feature a restored Daystar Motor Home on their training campus there in Anaheim. After all, it was arguably the high peak of the divine economy at one point, in the history of God in His move on earth with man.

Someone got an inheritance and laid it at the feet of the humble bondslave of Jesus Christ, and he got a vision from on high. Motor homes! Thus the call went out to all the local churches, for an opportunity to participate in God's blessing.

How dare LSM buy a motor home for Bibles For America travels when they could restore an original Daystar?!?

I know one of the BFA motorhomes was purchased by a brother and donated to BFA. They might have multiple motorhomes, I don't remember.

I found a Daystar for sale in case BFA would like to follow your suggestion:

While I was in Detroit (Summer 1971-Feb 1974) I never had any time or money to spend on this nonsense. At the time it was brought to my attention I was working full-time at night at Chevrolet Spring and Bumper, attending classes at the University full time during the day, and attending every meeting in the morning and evening at the LC. I remember Tim Scroggins mentioning Daystar at one point to me after coming back from an Elder's conference but to his credit he nor any of the elders every pushed it. Sorry so many people lost money but it is difficult for me to relate other than the mess it created throughout the LC. I just wonder if it was more of a California and Texas push for money for the Daystar disaster.

I'm not sure at what point my dad invested $400-$500 in Daystar. It could have been in Los Angeles, Phoenix, or Albuquerque.

Unfortunately this DayStar MotorHome was left uncompleted by the factory, because the pitiful mooing cows couldn't dance fast enough when the piano played. Sorry, that's an inside joke.

anyone have the original audio available? can't seem to find it anywhere online. seems to have fallen prey to the lsm censor trolls.

The FB posts (Jo Casteel Open Letter) are illuminating - pun intended. What people see when something hidden for so long is finally unveiled... suddenly they're like, Oh. Here's one from yesterday:

Woah. I just listened to the whole [Sal Benoit] phone call. It was very eye opening that BL would begin to talk over the other guy whenever there was any question or criticism, and then the only time the other guy was able to string a few sentences together without being interrupted by BL was when he was complimenting and praising him.

I was reading that and thought, You know that's right... one can say anything they want in the LC as long as it's either "Amen" or "Hallelujah" or "Oh Lord Jesus!" As soon as someone begins to ad-lib they bang the piano and sharing time is over.

"Just be simple, don't be hardened..."
