Whistleblower — Watchtower’s Dump

What will be interesting to also know is what type of chemicals these were and what, if any, are the effects to animals, crops/plants, and humans in the immediate area.  The potential for liability is huge if the link could be established, and the Watchtower would not be able to claim any religious or charity status exemption for being sued for this type of tort.

Skeeter- Some how some way the GB will figure out a way to pass the cost on to the Publishers, be prepared for an article on Charitable Giving as the smoke screen..

I found this interesting thread .... hypocrisy :)

New Light- 'Jehovah now disapproves of Dioxin and we won't be adding it to the Bethel farm drinking water'.

Oh my - what if a Bethelite comes down with a disease or cancer?  Given the other NY case where the bethlite chiropractor's wife who also was a bethelitewho hurt her back WON worker's compensation from the WTS . . . . 

Without a source it is not information in any practical sense.

I see what you're saying but I can't do better than quote metatron to show how disclosing the source will have zero impact on most JWs:

You could have the Governing Body sodomize boys on a parade float at high noon going down Broadway and the average Witness would just say "It's still the truth".

SKEETER1 - Bethelites have already come down with cancer due to improper use of chemicals (pesticides) at the farm.

Apparently the solvents dumped included Xylene and benzene, both of which are carcinogens.

I've written a blog article on this at the following link:

I believe this deserves as much internet exposure as we can give it.

I've written a blog article on this at the following link...

Congratulations Cedars, your new blog site looks great!  I'm sure I will be a frequent visitor.

Question, How does one sign up to leave a comment there?  I scanned it quickly and couldn't find it.

marking, thank you!

The above scan can be found on the old QUOTES website under Religion-Money, and just scoll all the way to the bottom quote where the scan is available.

Scenic Viewer - thanks for that, I'm glad you like the site! There should be a comment box at the bottom of the story where you can give your comment. You can also "register" on the bottom right hand side of the welcome page. It would be nice if you could leave a comment, so please do if you have the time!

Atlantis - wow, that's impressive stuff. I had a feeling when reading the thoughts of Barbara Anderson that this might be the tip of the iceberg. This document appears to be evidence that the recent discovery is only a small element of a wider legacy of environmental neglect on the part of the Society. The hypocrisy must be obvious, even to hardened JW apologists.

Will the rank and file view this as persecution?

Here is the DEC information BTW:

Each report details how much (ppm) was found in the soil. It's staggering.

Knorr could have given a rats ass about the health and safety of the Bethelites.

Thanks Atlantis - so they were fined $30,000 in 2002 - almost TEN YEARS AGO?  They really do bury their secrets...this info needs to be shouted from the rooftops - had I known this in 2002, I would have severed my relationship with that sorry organization AT ONCE.  Hypocrites.

Meeting- Did the Society publish any articles bashing 'worldly corporations' for pollution in 2002-3.
