Discuss the criticisms and negatives

This concept is what I have heard spoken about the most from local homeless(overhearing talk on the public bus/bus-stops), filled with horror stories of abuse from staff, and from each-other. Seems a much-needed point to include... this needs a major disclaimer and at minimum a warning for anyone considering it. You will be forced into religious participation as far as I know, and I don't believe I've heard much positivity on avoiding theft/assault, in fact sometimes it sounds worse since the religious gatekeepers seem to blackmail subtly, threats, throffers, and ultimately indirectly and passively causing harm by situating the people under their control to rigid control such as where to sleep, who you'll be working/talking/sleeping with, and thus your plight and request for help ends up being used against you.

Yeah, needs a good long investigating. NohbdyAhtall (talk) 20:56, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
