Is it really true that Jehovah's Witnesses kick out their Bethel members?

I don't know if this stuff is true or not but many former Jehovah’s Witnesses have shared disturbing stories like this. Ex-Bethelites have reported being dismissed when they become elderly, sick, or otherwise unable to perform "service" duties. They’re often expected to rely on family or find their own way—despite years of unpaid labor, minimal worldly savings (because they’re discouraged from pursuing careers), and having sacrificed their lives for the organization.

What's strange to me is that some "Babylon" religions as JW's call them have a home where they send their priests upon retirement such as the Catholics, from what I heard. Others have shelters, foster homes, hospitals, homes for the elderly, food, clothing, and housing programs, and emergency aid and as far as I know, JW's don't really seem to provide this type of practical aid to deserving individuals...or if they do it seems more of a matter of hit or miss; so I am confused about who is actually doing God's work here if this is the case.

From what I understand, the JW doctrine prioritizes "preaching" over "worldly" acts of service. That’s why reading a Scripture or handing out a Watchtower to someone who is hungry is considered generous and charitable—but giving someone food, shelter, or clothing doesn't appear to be a priority.

Anyway, I just wanted to ask about this because I have been deeply troubled over all the stories I have been hearing and could no longer ignore it. It's heartbreaking, appalling, and frankly feels criminal. The idea that a religious group can systematically pressure people to give up their education, careers, family ties, and life savings—then discard them once they're "used up"—sounds like abuse, maybe even elder abuse in many instances, as well as financial abuse, emotional neglect… all of it.

From what I have looked up, ex-Bethelites and ex-members have been speaking out for years, sharing stories of:

Elderly/ill members being evicted and left to fend for themselves after decades of service.

Volunteers being asked to give up everything, only to be told “Jehovah will provide” when they fall ill or can no longer serve.

Women and children being shunned or isolated after experiencing sexual abuse—just for speaking out.

Former members being completely cut off from families because they left, even if they were the victims.

If anyone knows of any videos, articles, etc. that can provide more clarity and context about the allegations surrounding Bethel I will really appreciate it.
