I was recently told by a friend that many bethelites that attended congos in Brooklyn NY were among thoses who were asked to leave.
According to my friend, many of these bethelites were offered the chance to serve as "special pioneers" in other areas. These other areas were rural areas in the US and the Borg has offered to pay for their housing and living expenses indefinitely if the agrred to stay in the full time work.
Since this friend is an inactive dub (like myself) who always feels the need to defend the Borg, I have some misgivings about this information.
Does anyone have any factual information about compensation being given to members of bethel who were asked to leave?
