I've been out of this loop (or any other) for a while. Can someone tell me if the Bethel Farm facilities are still there in Wallkill County, NY? I was there for about a year. I've often thought of going by to see what hell I went through.

Hi, I don’t know for sure, I can’t answer your question but I think yes, as I have a telephone directory from 2017. When did you work there?

It is still there .. alive and printing according to their official website. You may download a tour brochure although tours are suspended during Covid.

Yes, as BB stated, it is still there. Whether they do any 'farming' anymore I don't know, but there is still some printing done there.

It is still there, but any "farming" is long since over, especially since the EPA made them clean up all of the toxic waste they deliberately spread a few years back. (stupid asses!)

Etude we'd love to hear some of your story!! Someone should start a watchtower history podcast for those of us too old and ugly to appear on camera😂(I know, I know....speak for yourself Dio...)
NB I know there's an excellent you tube channel run by two historians/Watchtower buffs but it is less 'personal experience' and more 'academic' history.

Thanks everyone. I had the best days of my life and the worse days of my life there. The Bethel bureaucracy took a large part for my heartaches. But, aside from meeting some great people, I encountered some of the biggest assholes created by God.
I was greatly disappointed by well-intended humans for the sake of the rules even though it was obvious to us both they were not fair. While there, the change came to not enforce a 4-year stay but only give promised service for one year. By then I had out in nearly 2 1/2 years. I left bitter and disappointed. I’ll write about some of the issues I face later on.
