49What happens to Bethelites?
by rickroll inso if someone puts their life into serving the cult for free at bethel, then say after 25 or 30 years they are not able to for one reason or another such as illness, or family issue or old age, does the cult have any safety net for these people or is it you serve until you can't and when you can't you just go away?

"in response to heavy demand".. really? From who..When did the gb ever listen to the concerns of the flock.
Perhaps they see the end of witnessing and are now becoming another 'electric-church'..

"the workers had to stay after closing time to do so. It was reported that the only tip left was a copy of a pocket-size book that was released earlier that week at the convention."
What a splendid witness that was of being a bunch of miserly self righteous jerks.
Those restaurant workers Im sure had buses/trains to catch and families to go to.
