Watchtower is kicking people out again, in the name of LOVE?
by Bethelite Elder inright now at bethel, they are laying off and reassigning again.
if you have cancer or some other illness, you are a liability and it's time to pack.
i remember the night when we had the special talk about there being a great need in the field and some would be sent out.

Bronzefist,
It wasn't the unemployment. I was able to get a good job right away thanks to my profession (which was what landed me at That Place in the first place) It was the emotional pain of being kicked to the curb when I had done NOTHING wrong, and had tried my best to fit in with a system in which it is very difficult to live, and with which I didn't agree even while I was there.. During my time there my eyes were opened, though. Yes, being reassigned was the last straw. But before a week had passed there I had begun to realize a lot of things.
It is much better on the outside.

In response to some above comments, I do believe the whole thing with status in the org is really ridiculous, it means a lot of people are judged by their title instead of their works. I suppose the org uses it to keep everyone 'behaving'. but it's stupid when you think about it. I mean, you can lie to get status.

I guess what got to me about Gary's comments is that it took so long for me to screw up the courage to comment here, and it doesn't give a very good impression of the love of the forum to be told that I deserved what i got, when no one even knows what i got, what it did to me, or how those painful experiences brought me here. I understand bitterness and hate, but it shouldn't be directed at the people who post here. As a woman, a lot of the generalizations made about Bethelites do not apply to me, and I can certainly tell you that when I went to That Place it was out of love, and not out of a misplaced desire for 'free things' or glory. Younger Bethelites do not get a lot of free things, and are certainly worked very hard.
Anyway. That's all I will say.

Gary, you are being unbelievably mean. Being very hurt should be all the more reason you shouldn't gloat at my pain. this is one of the reasons i've taken so long to speak here.

It's no lie. It really happened. I should know. It happened to me.
