Converting a date to string is easy enough but string to date is problematic.
var st = Date(start,"yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm","EST"); // convert back to date object
start is string ----> 2019-01-08 07:00:00 +0000
However st keeps giving the system date / time .
Any direction is appreciated .
Thanks

@Joel_Eisenstat you forgot to add seconds and timezone descriptions to the string conversion:
```
var st = Date(start,"yyyy-MM-dd hh-mm-ss ZZZ","EST");
```
