Also they should threaten to go to the local papers with thier sad predicament,,this too maybe a good stradagy,,or ace in the hole.
Can you imagine how it would look for them to be camped out on the sidewalks of bethel with big signs that read: "left homeless and kicked to the curb after blank___ many years of service while under a vow of poverty to the WT .This is how the WT treats people .This needs to be brought to the mayor and govenors attention.
That will really send a message.
if this is true - DYNAMITE
Despite it being only a rumor at this point, it's entirely believable, for two reasons:
1) The Society is tossing out Bethelites who have been there for 10+ years - people who have responsible jobs and lots of connections throughout mid and high-level administration. In other words, they could actually pull it off, since tearing them out with force could do more damage than to let them stay.
2) It's BEEN Bethel policy that if you liked Bethel and fit in well, to make it your life's vocation. They gave constant encouragement (up until about 2001/02) to consider spending the rest of your life at Bethel. It was, in effect, a verbal contract between the GB and thousands of potential "lifers." Now they want to renege on that policy and screw these ones who have given the BEST YEARS OF THEIR LIVES (no children, no careers, no homes, etc.) to this rotten corporation.
If this is true, they could actually pull it off. If it is true, expect to see some serious changes in how Bethel manages its personnel. Hundreds of positions will be adapted to temp-workers, and even more will be let go.

IF this strory has merit, I...will take it to all local newspapers and orgs in that area. Brooklyn Eagle will be first.
Confirm it first though, please.

Oh boy, if those folks could get some press coverage it'd be sweet. Maybe some of those community organizers that have been in the news could be tapped to provide some legal assistance to the soon to be evicted.
Picture dozen`s of homeless Bethelites on park bench`s..Stuffing they`re coats with old Watchtowers to keep warm.....And..On street corners bumming for money,only to be handed a Watchtower..LOL!!............
...OUTLAW
Does NY (or just King's county) have a civil case database?
I doubt it's true. But if they did get some devine backbone that would be great. Poor people.
I'm sure this has happened before and the bethelites will lose their case I am sure! Number one, they are volunteers and the only thing they will get out of it is that they will realize that there is little LOVE at the big house! And number two "WHO REALLY CARES"
If true, they can kiss their chance for everlasting life on a paradise earth good bye!
