Reddit thread about Bethel Reducing Headcount
by LongHairGal inapparently, the downsizing is still happening and from what i read those let go are over 50!.
sad because these people expected to be lifers.
now they have to make their way in the world at an advanced age with no education or desirable skill!..

I have to agree that most thought being a Bethelite was "For Life", or at least thru to the "New System of Things."
In fact, even in the 80's I recall the push was to forgo any sort of education and make Pioneering in order to get into a Bethel a priority. It was seen as kind of a meal ticket to Paradise. Once you were "in", you were set! Out of the wicked world and safe in "God's House."
After the multiple rounds of Bethel lay-offs in the past 25 years, you'd have to be a complete MORON to think that you'd be able to be a "lifer" now. It's plain as day that they use people up in their prime, then kick them to curb as they age but before they become a liability.
What a shameless, cruel, money-grubbing CULT!

I was born in 1979, so I'm technically Generation X.
I can confirm that our "Generation" is def the 1st to really wake up and leave en masse. It's no exaggeration to state that out of the people my age I grew up with in the religion 9 out of 10 (90%) left, and have NEVER come back. Some are even grandparents now, and so it's literally 2 "generations" removed from the JW's.
In the mid-90's, we saw the game was up. Now I can't point to just one red flag. But in hindsight, the extreme fear in the 1980's of "any day now the Great Tribulation is going to break out", evaporated. A few things caused this to happen. In 1989, the Berlin Wall fell. 1991, the USSR dissolved. These were truly shocking events for people my age. Combine this with grunge and the fact that we actually made it to high school, then GRADUATED......when all the while growing up we were basically told that we wouldn't even MAKE IT TO high school, much less graduate or have to get a job. So this really shook a lot of us Awake! The 1995 generation mast-head change wasn't even shocking to us, because by 1995, we were 16 and starting to work after school, so we weren't even paying attention to those changes. Hell, I didn't even know about that until 1999-2000, when I started searching Yahoo! with my questions and doubts and scales totally fell from my eyes. 9/11 - Truly a game changer. My reaction was, "My Gawd, if this doesn't usher in the UN attempting to ban religion and cause WW3 and the Great Tribulation, nothing will." The long Afghanistan War aside, 9/11 came and went just as all previous wars and no "End" in sight. This was probably the final nail in the coffin and sealed the deal on WatchTower's previous century of constant fear-mongering my "Generation." Enough was enough, and we were then totally out of there. Not only that, but were out of there AND resentful about a childhood lost and stolen to a man-made end-times apocolyptic CULT!
Today? Youth search and ask AI about everything. Nothing WatchTower has done or is doing will EVER be hidden again. The jig is up. Any 5 minute scan of the JW's reveals their dubious, weird, psycho history and high-control cult BS. Just like Scientology, their hey-day is now in the past. VERY much in the past. No amount of "lightening the reins" or serving up "baby food" is going to change that. Like I said....I know several grandparents my age who left in the 90's, and then raised their kids outside the JW's, and now their kids have kids.....never even been exposed to the JW's except to hear warnings against joining up with them.
Checkmate, WatchTower.

I'm confused! Stephen Lett in a 2020 JW Broadcast claimed that we are in:
"The final part of the last days of the final part of the final part before the last day of last day!"
https://youtu.be/Mrges_TxOzQ?si=Uc4DMJLnhaa6W5U3
Lett-the-Clown wouldn't be confused, or simply fear-mongering by pulling this shit out of his big red clown ass, now would he??? Hmmmm?

Jehovah's Witnesses came by today.
by 3rdgen inthis morning i was in our front yard sitting down pulling weeds when i saw 3 people slowly walking on the sidewalk in my direction.
2 of them were young, handsome, clean shaven, wearing nice crisp white shirts and perfectly tailored black slacks.
they could have been mormons except.... there was a 60ish portly woman wearing a frumpy dress and ugly sandals.

What a "happifying" experience! Can we all not see the wisdom in 3rdgen's handling of this poor, gluttonous, WatchTower drone? (((( insert seal clapping hear ))))

Where at in England? Lloyd Evans legal team would like meet to talk to you about your liability and payment terms.
Lloyd's "daddy" would also like to meet with you, as he's been told you've been a verrrrrrrry naughty girl!
PS: Stay off the tubes in London, they're complete shite now, worse than NYC's even.

I'm 45 now. I grew up on the scary WatchTower covers of the early 1980's. The 1984 WT Bound Volume has never left my library. It's 100% PROOF of WatchTower's false prophecy. Those WT's were used right at the doors for years afterward as proof as to how far into the "End" we all were. Then the Revelation book came and ramped up the fear mongering even more. It was a weird book, especially so for a young kid like myself. I learned to read with the red "Live Forever" book. (that had scary pictures as well) Then in 1995, Poof! Gone. And now, even "types and anti-types" has been thrown onto the trash heap of WatchTower past. My parents had a full library of old books going back to the Bible Students even, FILLED with all sorts of Fred Franz's "types and anti-types" made up nonsense, that would be used in supplementation in our weekly group "book studies." What a boring, colossal, waste of my precious youth and time! With the exception of the "Commentary of James" (written by Ed Dunlap), I actually trashed 99% of my late parents old JW library. Gone!
Just think......the JW's "Great Disappointment" of 1995 is now almost 30 years ago! 1975 will be 50 years ago. This Organization is now for the ignorant and willful suckers whom are too dumb to let their fingers and minds to the walking over to Google and research the history of this money-grubbing CULT.

Olympic games/ jw.org keep on the watch
by Gorb inthe main article on jw.org is about the succesfull olympic games 2024 in paris.. many withness watch all the sport episodes of the games, but jw.org comes with a sour story about the games and not reaching real peace.. again jw.org is on the wrong side of history a d doesn't feel the public anx jw opinion.
the closing remarks of the ioc president bach, thaf the games will not reach peace but plant peace in the hart of people was a strong message.. the organization and message of the games is all that jw.org wants to, but can't.. very sad and narrow minded, as ever.
gorby.

I remember a magazine route I had complaining that "your organization never has anything positive to say about anything other that itself" after a similar article many years ago.
^ Yes!!! This Organization is it's own favourite charity as well.
As a very young child, I quickly learned that this a "thou shalt not" religion. Everything I ever asked for, or to do, was always a flat-out "No!" from my parents if it didn't revolve around the religion or somehow benefit it. I also noticed the negativity and total lack of any "real" charity, even though my so-called "worldly" classmates eagerly donated their time and money to do so. It was unreal.

Holy crap! The scanning of this JW crap is what exposed him to enough radiation to cause cancer?
Another casualty of this greedy, blood-thirsty, CULT!!!!
My deepest condolences to his family, and a heartfelt "thank you" for his self-sacrificing work to expose this cult.

I watched a few brief minutes of this. It's all I can stand. The cultspeak and weird ass monotone way of speaking and bullshit acting is just an insult and assault of my intelligence.
NO ONE in the real world talks or acts like this. No one. This is all JW cult bullshit. Just like Scientology and Mormons have weird ass meetings and "cultspeak", so too do the JW's. Try watching the documentary "Going Clear" with that actor who escaped. He rambles on and on at one point using Scientology lingo that is like total gibberish to a normal person. It means nothing because it IS nothing!
So too are the way JW's speak. They are infantilizing and an assault against any grown, fully-formed adult psyche. But you see, that's the problem here. There is no one left in this cult except the born-ins who now operate at a nearly toddler-level of comprehension.
What grown-ass man even feels he has to speak to other grown-ass men and confess such petty bullshit? Ya know, it's not even like a Catholic confessional where you go into a booth, kneel, confess some sins (major or minor) to an anonymous Priest, and then are given some assignments and also forgiven. THAT seems pretty clear cut and simple. This bullshit is all petty, so very NOT private, drawn out into actual fucking multi-part COMMITTEE MEETINGS, and then you are STILL NOT "forgiven." You're "removed" and then have to be publicly shamed and then grovel on an on for 1+years to get back into the Elder's good graces. But wait! UNLESS you are an upstanding ELDER with a good reputation, handing a lot of Congregation responsibilities, no one knows about your "sins", and you are all repentant cause it happened years ago. Well golly-gee! ALL IS FORGIVEN! Carry on then, Elduh Whacksalot! Hardy-Har-Har!
What a double-standard. What a Good ol' Boys Club! GTFOOH with this dumbass shit, WT HQ!!!
I laugh at how WT HQ is standing around scratching their heads, and scratching their asses, asking:
"Gee, why is everyone leaving? Why can't we find help? Where are the youth?"
Big mystery Gluttonous Bozos; big mystery.
