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.

The Governing Body is Restructuring the Org.and encouranging young ones to REACH OUT!
by liam inthe 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.

SDAs Campaigning in my Area
by NotFormer innot even as active as the jws (whom i have not seen for around a year now), nevertheless i get an occasional leaflet or other publication in my letterbox that seems to be seventh day adventist in origin.. the booklet i received the other day was entitled "national sunday law".
i also had received this book years ago when i had some dealings with the sdas.. from reddit: "national sunday law involves a conspiracy theory which alleges that the united states government is on the verge of enacting a national blue law that would make sunday a day of rest and worship.
the theory depends on the idea that the pope is the antichrist and the mark of the beast is worshipped on sunday.

The theory depends on the idea that the Pope is the Antichrist and the Mark of the Beast is worshipped on Sunday. Sinister forces (read: the Vatican) are conspiring to enact a national Sunday law in the United States, which would be the trigger that unleashes the fulfilment of the prophecies found in the Biblical books of Daniel and Revelation. In addition, this law would outlaw worshipping on Saturday, thus beginning a period of persecution of those who worship on Saturday, or Sabbath."

The above summary, although not identical in its conspiratorial religious undertones, may sound somewhat familiar.

Is there no sense of nostalgia that some former JWs might channel? Of course, I'd imagine that there'd be more triggered by this stuff than those who might smile fondly at a positive memory of such gatherings. So, to each his own, I guess.
Edited to add: I myself, even though I've not so much as attended a meeting in a Kingdom Hall, find these meetings and other broadcasts by the WT to be too heavy going and oppressive to actually sit through. But I was never born and raised in that particular briar patch.

Just out of curiosity, what happens at Bethel when a Bethel worker has a family emergency? Is it easy to get compassionate leave, or is it a bureaucratic nightmare?
Just askin' from the cheap seats.

Scully's right. That Awake! cover was totally evil and can never be atoned for. 😡🤬
And remember, everything published is valid until it's officially countermanded. When they disband the HLCs, I'll believe that they're trying to distance themselves from those who gleefully danced on the graves of those children. But not a moment before. The GB is evil trash.

What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?
by Sea Breeze ini knew a lady who was disfellowshipped for 20 years for smoking.
she finally went back to the kh and since they couldn't find her paperwork, (all the former elders were dead) she was allowed back in without reinstatement.
no one even remembered her.

VE Day (victory in Europe) and the Generation.
by Slidin Fast ini am watching the celebrations of the 80th anniversary of ve day.
80 years since the defeat of nazi germany in 1945. i find the interviews of the stalwart men and women who played their part very moving.
these veterans speak with pride and sadness about their experiences, those they lost, those they fought alongside.

"I seem to remember the song “Waltzing Mathilda” from when I was a child - and that was way before 1980. Just sayin'"
LHG, And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda isn't the original song by Banjo Patterson which is, as you rightly pointed out, over a hundred years old. Although it was older than 1980; I remember it being played at a school assembly in at least 1979.
The above quoted song is about a bloke who goes off to the trenches* of WWI, gets his legs blown off and his reward is to be met, at his his arrival back in Sydney, by a band playing Waltzing Matilda. I assume that the song by Eric Bogle is meant to be a pacifist piece about the evils of war.

liam: "Nothing will wake up True Believers."
I dunno 🤨. Seeing your all-powerful gurus carted off to prison might dent the faith of the most rusted-on believer.
Hey, current GB, does it make you nervous that you might be doing time for Ted Jaracz's crimes? 😀 Time to trot out a bunch of silly articles about how a prison sentence is no proof that one is not fit to lead God's people. It worked for Rutherford, after all! 🙄
