  Yes, I certainly did know that people who are ‘cast aside’ (a polite term for being kicked out of bethel) 🤣 were told to ‘expect’ help from Witness relatives and friends in their ‘old’ congregation.

  The problem is those people may not agree with this.. It’s one thing to get someone a bag of groceries until they get back on their feet. But let’s be honest here. These people who are in advanced age - are not getting ‘back on their feet’. They are expecting to be supported pure and simple. Hope everybody realizes this.

  The religion really didn’t think this out and probably doesn’t care.. They probably just want the problem to go away, at least during their lifetime.

  I will say it again: as somebody criticized for working who received the whole ‘shunning routine’ - I will not be targeted to give money to people who didn’t work or hardly worked and/or those who got kicked out of the religion’s compound because the religion didn’t want to pay for them anymore.

  If I had listened to the JW religion years ago and quit my job to be in the full-time ministry, would anybody be supporting me today??? I doubt it.

  There is a lot of disruptive and undesirable behavior in the workplace from jw.org I have heard many anecdotes about bullying and abuse of power.

  No wonder they forced JWs to take the "vaccines" in addition to being generously compensated. Guess the boosters aren't working fast enough on the oldies.

  LHG:

  The same people that were/are condescending to us for working are now expecting a handout from the same diligent hands they criticized.

  They rely on the ones who they put down. Or rallied against.

  Problems,,,, by natural law of physics,,, do NOT just disappear by themselves or fix themselves.

  People who adhered to the Borgs advice on quitting their jobs or career to pioneer ,,, seldom have any help from anyone in the. Borg.

  Do we see the pattern? Or similarity here?

  Nobody will help you later in life,,,,or when health issues crop-up.

  What makes matters worse is that some are made special pioneers which means they get rent paid no matter how much it goes up.

  special pioneers nowadays only have to do 70 hours a month and they get paid a wage for that I remember having to do 90 and have a part-time job on top of that

  The special pioneers get all the rent paid matter how much the rent goes up with inflation they get their allowance which is often on top of the state pension so they’re much better often than state pensioners and they can still go to Bethel for the free dentist Optition doctors even have volunteered Sister is coming to give massages and reflexology things like that

  Is now a wide gap between the special pioneers and those who are kicked out of Bethel for old age who are not special pioneers

  Everyone hates it when the special pioneers answer up about how well looked after their yes of course you are good for you

  I think the old Brother from the 60s and 70s never thought this through

  They never thought we’d get to 2025 and all the young Bethel lights and thought the end was right around the corner and now having to get up three or four times a night to take a pee

  what if the end doesn’t come another 10 years 2035? There’s gonna be so many old Bethel lights there will be a burden on the congregations. This is why they’re trying to kick out as many older ones now before they get to be a burden on the branch office.

  HOSER, BETH SARIM & MIKE JW:

  Thanks for your responses.

  Words cannot describe how much I hate and despise the Witness religion for its hypocrisy. I don’t have any use either for the rank & file who went along with this.

  As you said HOSER: they’d be looking for a handout from my diligent hands. Thank God I’m long gone from this. I’m no longer there for them to try to bother me.. What are they going to be doing? Cannibalising each other? You have a steady stream of people leaving the religion.. Just who will be left there to shake down?? This isn’t going to be pretty.

  There would be no peace there. I rest my case.

  what if the end doesn’t come another 10 years 2035!!!!!!

  I removed the? because of course the End is Not Coming. It's a Doomsday Cult that has failed in its predictions time and time again.

  In 2035 the world will still continue like it has for the past 4.5 Billion years. The Species of creatures might change, but the earth will continue.

  In this day and age of information flowing so freely. You would have to be a good actor or real stupid to still be a Jw.
