    Hey everyone,

    I've never posted on any of these site before but I thought this might be worthwhile. I was at Brooklyn Bethel from 1998-2001. I worked in the Laundry. If there are any other ex-Brooklyn boys, I'd love to see if I have any connection to you.

    Thanks everyone,

    James

    Did you know anybody named Joshua orJake B. They lived by the Watchtower Farm but I believe one or both went to Bethel? Their JW family entertained a lot of out of towners. Josh was the oldest. I heard he was disfellowshipped... but not sure of his status now.

    They were raised in NY. Dad owned a cab company ?

    Snoozy....

    I was there in the early 90's. A bit before your time. I lived in the projects (107). Anyone else here that was in Bklyn in the early 90's?

    Hey fulano,

    Umm, you don't exactly ring a bell. I met a lot of missionaries from the Dominican Republic--most of them worked in the Laundry while up at Brooklyn for health leave. I also went to a lot of latin dance parties, but only out in my congo. (I was in Whitney Avenue spanish.) I guess the only thing I can tell you is that I worked in the Laundry. Who are you??

    <------suspects that when I was at Bethel (69-70) you were not thinking about cleaning dirty laundry, just making dirty laundry

    Was Ken what's-his-name still in charge of the Brooklyn laundry in the 90s?

    Craig

    PS: Any of you ever know a Nathan Mills?

    Craig,

    Um, Bob Raines was in charge of the Brooklyn laundry during the late 70's (now on the Operations Committee). Steve Edelman came to Bethel around 1980 and has been in charge of the laundry from 1983-present.

    Hope this helps,

    James
