The Borg has created this situation .
By encouraging people to aspire to Bethel. "'Make it your career here"". The end result,,getting punted out while approaching retirement age,,, definitely was NOT the desirable outcome..
This is abundantly clear..
The big A,,,was & always as been no more than 3 - 5 years away,,,right?
The Borg has put people in terrible situations
VIDIOT:
“Controlled Demolition” might very well be what is happening there. The end goal being them being totally online - eventually. Meanwhile, they still need people there for the time being. But, they are being very callous in their letting the older ones go!
I am in agreement with the YouTuber “Life After Religion” who feels this is the direction the JW religion is going.
Dan on Life After Religion.
He's a pretty smart man. Dan is.
BETH SARIM:
Yes, that’s it, Dan & Angela!
In your post above that you are correct that the ‘Borg’ has created the present bad situation with the older bethelites that they have let go! First, they enticed them in when young (make it their career there), then they kick them out because Armageddon has not come and (surprise) these bethelites have gotten old!
It is the religion who is responsible for these people - not anybody else. They housed them and employed them. Never mind what anybody says. And it makes me angry that more ex-bethelites don’t do anything about it and suffer in silence. I certainly would not be suffering in silence!
If all the ex-bethelites are worried about is what the ‘friends’ in the congregation think about them - it’s hopeless.
I dont know where I read it somewhere. But I think it was on Reddit.
The Borg could be doing a callous purge of the older ones before a "massive sellout" or something..
Should there be a rebellion of the victims($heeples) the Borg can do a massive sell-off of all the KHs & assembly halls & go directly on line.
It could very well be in place. The groundwork is there.
I assume that is what they are told as they are being dismissed . . . “Go in peace, keep warm and well fed,” but YOU do not give them the necessities for [their] body, of what benefit is it?"
FEDUP JW:
I can see how the first batch of bethelites who were let-go some years back were taken by surprise.
But, I imagine this should have served as a warning to every other bethelite still there of all ages.. I forget how many layoffs bethel has had so far.
It should also have been noted how these dismissals were done:.. a letter slipped under the door initially; was there any severance pay?🤣 I don’t think so; was there money for a train or bus? Not sure but I doubt it unless someone knows better... I even saw a You Tube of some young brother who was dismissed and who got a bill for the last lunch he had in the cafeteria! You can’t make this stuff up.
Anybody still there should have had a list of numbers and people to contact and also stashed away money for a cab/commutation ticket when the fateful day came so they at least walk out dignified instead of feeling sucker punched.
Of course, this does not solve the other big problems about making a living, etc.
How this all drastically differs from the ‘worldly’ secular job that I was used to where people get severance pay and other things!
LHG.
About the young bethellite who was let go some years ago and was given a bill for his last cafeteria meal.. Im gonna go out on a limb and venture a guess at it.
Marcus Vaughn.
It sounds like what he went through. To a tee.
He was just booted out with no place to go. He had to call & pay for a cab to the bus station. With only bag full of his clothing.
Yes I believe that something like a round of layoffs happened sometime in 2015.
The writing should have been on the wall for the remainder of the bethellites.
The printing era is totally gone. Its alllllll digital.
Bethel no longer serves any purpose.
They can sell those properties,,whats left & they can cloister up the heavies & the ones they only care about like the governing bodies.
BETH SARIM:
I don’t remember the name of the guy but it seemed he had an upbeat attitude and probably would do well. I guess being a young guy he should consider himself lucky.
Don't know if I remember why he was dismissed(?)
Yeah, the story about him getting a bill for his last lunch in bethel seemed over the top petty. So, I can believe nobody even gave him $20 not that that would get you very far.
Anybody still remaining there now has to be prepared.
