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?

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.
