The Governing Body just doesn't let up on encouraging the young children to reach out to do free Labor for the Organization. So another generation of Young people with ruined lives. Another generation of young people that will get old and wake up in their 50s to realize they were in a Religious Doomsday Cult.
And they are getting rid of some Old workers that ran the branches of the Organization, and giving them different assignments or maybe they are just sending them home, who knows.
Hardly a good career choice!
You give up home comforts and having family close by to become a missionary.
Off to a foreign war ravaged corrupt country and get killed in a major earthquake.
Serving Jehovah is supposedly the safest place to be, but as we have seen on numerous occasions it can also lead to disaster!
Where was the angelic protection?

I was just reading a Reddit thread on this topic!
First of all, anybody over 80 has no home to go to. Everybody has died unless there is a nephew. Please tell me the JW religion isn’t sending people over 80 ‘home’ to serve in some congregation somewhere! God help that congregation.. I hope this is a misunderstanding and they are just giving them different assignments in bethel. I know the religion is downsizing, but really? This would be very low down.
Every time I turn around I read something that makes me thankful I got out years ago.
Even abusive corporate employers give you pensions, superannuation, 401ks, whatever you call them in your home country. These wankers send their loyal "forever" devotees out into the cold with nothing when they're too old to do something else.
I wonder how long those old-timers served. When did they first arrive at Bethel? Did they ever think they would get this old before Armageddon? Did the org make any attempt to make sure they had their financial future taken care of, or would that have undermined the message that the end is very, very close?
How many of them are still loyal, after giving so much for so long, only to find themselves still in the "old system"?

I wish I could tell you they are not sending anybody home, but you know the GB doesn't give a hoot about their members. The way this Bethelite explained it to me is if the old timers have connections with someone important in the Organization, they will Not send them home, just give him some position somewhere, out of sight, until he dies.. But if they have no connections, they will send them to help some congregation somewhere.......to be forgotten.
In fact, I'm not sure if it was reddit where I read about an old timer that was just dismissed from Bethel, when Bethel was a thing. He had nowhere to go so he went and sat on a bench and froze to death that night. He had no family and no money and stayed single all his life to serve Jehov/GB.
They are cruel people that have no compassion. Remember, they know the blood doctrine is killing who knows how many mothers, fathers and children world wide, yet they won't change for fear of repercussions

What a sickening story about this ex-Bethelite who froze to death on a park bench!.. The religion he worked for his whole life abandoned him and got away with it.. Too bad the world doesn’t really know about this because PIMI Witnesses cover up dirty stories like this!
As far as any elderly bethelite sent to some congregation somewhere to supposedly ‘help’: that’s a laugh. The unfortunate rank & file in any such congregation would be hit up left and right for money to cover this penniless elderly person’s needs..along with other JWs there who hardly worked.
Is the religion kidding?? Do they imagine any intelligent person who worked would want to stay in this religion?? This is the handwriting on the wall. Glad I got out years ago.
People who leave Bethel, cast aside so to speak, are told to expect help from jw relatives and friends at their old congregation. Some of these people they have little or no contact with for years. There is no formal help how to reintegrate into the jw community outside Bethel.
Blondie,, these are things that the Borg has no idea. Or has no consideration over
