Maybe the Governing Body could take this kerfuffle and put a theocratic spin on it like: "Jehovah is preparing us for life in paradise by giving us training now on this side of armeggedon in cleaning up toxic waste sites for after armeggeddon survivors will not only be engaged in burial/clean up of 7 or 8 billion slaughtered people but they will also making toxic waste sites of this greedy old commercial world of Satan's safe for pandas and lions to lie down to together in peace and harmony and not get cancer.
Huge story unfolding at Warwick

Follow the money. Jar-Hoover obviously led them to the land 'flowing with muck and money'.
To me at least, this is just more evidence that the WBT$ is a corporate entity and not a bona fide religion. The R&F are still buying the lie.
Will it wake any up? Probably not many as OUTLAW showed, the GB are in control. The GB will spin a web of lies that the R&F will eat up.
To purify the Warwick site may I suggest the planting of Miracle wheat(TM)?

On another thread, a poster provided documented evidence that the organization itself faced prosecution just a few years ago for dumping barrels of toxic waste (from its printeries) on one of its own parcels of land. There was some local publicity in the worldly press but of course not a whisper about it in any Watchtower publications. Funny that.
Who'd have thought the organization was among those fulfilling Scripture about 'men ruining the earth' - and all in the name of Jehovah? Some fine witness, wouldn't you say?

JW Leaks published this 4 page letter back in June 2012:
Letter on illegal toxic chemical dumping at Watchtower Farms

Brokeback Watchtower I can never believe that they bought that land without some type of research done as to what type of waste material a nickle processing company might dump there and have experts examine the area for this type of thing because it is utter stupidity.
You know how the WT works.
Find a 'spiritually qualified' volunteer to do the work. It doesn't matter if they know what they're doing or not so long as they're 'spiritually qualified'.Seen this a thousand time on builds, with assignments and at conventions.
It's a great way to waste kingdom funds.

Phizzy - "The biggest Project in the world that the JW's have at present is the new Brit H Q, on the site of an old car scrapyard at Chelmsford."
Wouldn't it be a kick in the balls if the toxic dumping caused them to pull the plug on the Warwick complex entirely, and they moved the HQ to the UK?

Wait until the rank and file get wind of this blunder by the Faithful and Not So Discreet Slave. They must be eating and drinking with confirmed drunkards but "if" that Evil(once thought to be faithful and discreet with Jehovah's belongings) should say my master is delaying.
Anyway the friends are going to be a little hard put to call the Governing Body Discreet from this moment on because Jeepers these guys are totally without a clue.
Luke 14:28 come to mind:
For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it?

The Governing Body retirement home smack dab on a toxic waste site what a blunder for this clearly over the hill gang of nitwits. I don't care how many million$$ they spend cleaning up this mess I would never want to live there ever.
I think visitors will be rare to this place due to its toxic history, well maybe when they sell their farm property who know what they might uncover with those penny pinching Watchtower Corporation people.

I could just see it now how the Governing Body feels about this matter, they are blaming it all on Satan or at least making a connection with Satan behind the scenes like a master puppeteer.
Probably Apostates like us will get a blaming too for being behind the scenes with Satan and spreading the news at assemblies and other large gatherings. God these old brain dead farts got a lot on their plate these days with A Royal Charity review of it's charitable status, and all those cruel disfellowshippings they got under their belt it don't look good so I don't think they can rely on any public sympathy if things go to trial I bet the verdict will be not in their favor as I'm sure the company allowed an inspection and so I think the WT is stuck with the entire cost. After all they were dealing with a mining company with expert legal advice so I think is is tough luck for these guys in court any damages they collect will be minimal.
A classic example Jesus blind leading the blind is happening to these blind fools called the Governing Body. They must be shitting their collective pants over this one expect some real looniness in the form of more turds from these guys in the near future and let the games really begin.

Watchtower PCB contamination:
http://www.clearwater.org/news/pcbhealth.html
PCBs are a probable human carcinogen.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer and the Environmental Protection Agency classify PCBs as a probable human carcinogen. The National Toxicology Program has concluded that PCBs are reasonably likely to cause cancer in humans. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has determined that PCBs are a potential occupational carcinogen.
Studies of PCBs in humans have found increased rates of melanomas, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, and brain cancer, [1] and may be linked to breast cancer. PCBs are known to cause a variety of types of cancer in rats, mice, and other study animals. [2]
EPA´s regulations on cancer-causing chemicals use the term `probable´ when a chemical is known to cause cancer in animals and where there is evidence that suggests that it causes cancer in humans but which is not conclusive. Because you can´t feed chemicals to humans to see how they respond, it is much more difficult to demonstrate carcinogenicity in humans than in animals. Instead, studies are undertaken of groups who have been exposed to a chemical, and if they suffer from more cancers than would be expected at normal levels, this may indicate that the chemical was a carcinogen. However, there are many difficulties doing these studies: small numbers of people known to be exposed to a chemical; the fact that people suffer from many cancers without any chemical exposure; the fact that in some cases these people were exposed to a number of other chemicals; and the need to demonstrate high cancer rates that cannot be random in order to draw conclusions. Thus the term `probable´ reflects the limited nature of the studies, and it is rare that a carcinogen is so effective that it can be called a `known´ human carcinogen.
The fact that PCBs are called a `probable´ carcinogen should not be taken as a sign that they are benign.
Acute toxic effects.
People exposed directly to high levels of PCBs, either via the skin, by consumption, or in the air, have experienced irritation of the nose and lungs, skin irritations such as severe acne (chloracne) and rashes, and eye problems. [3]
PCBs cause developmental effects.
Women exposed to PCBs before or during pregnancy can give birth to children with significant neurological and motor control problems, including lowered IQ and poor short-term memory.
A group of children in Michigan whose mothers had been exposed to PCBs were found to have decreased birth weight and head size, lowered performance on standardized memory, psychomotor and behavioral tests, and lowered IQ. These effects lasted through at least 7 years. [4] A group of women occupationally exposed to PCBs in upstate New York had shorter pregnancies and gave birth to children with lower birth weight. [5]Another study, of the chidren of women who ate contaminated Lake Ontario fish, found significant performance impairments on a standardized behavioral assessment test. [6]
Exposure of one form of PCB to rats resulted in retarded growth, delayed puberty, decreased sperm counts, and genital malformations. [7] In other studies, exposure of PCBs to rats in utero led to behavioral and psychomotor effects that lasted into adulthood. [8]
PCBs disrupt hormone function.
PCBs with only a few chlorine atoms can mimic the body´s natural hormones, especially estrogen. Women who consumed PCB-contaminated fish from Lake Ontario were found to have shortened menstrual cycles. [9]PCBs are also thought to play a role in reduced sperm counts, altered sex organs, premature puberty, and changed sex ratios of children. More highly-chlorinated PCBs (with more chlorine atoms) act like dioxins in altering the metabolism of sex steroids in the body, changing the normal levels of estrogens and testosterone. [11] PCBs tend to change in the body and in the environment from more highly-chlorinated to lower-chlorinated forms, increasing their estrogenic effects.
Immune system and thyroid effects.
In a study of adolescents Mohawk males in New York State, PCBs were shown to upset the balance of thyroid hormones, which may affect growth as well as intellectual and behavioral development. [12]
Like dioxin, PCBs bind to receptors that control immune system function, disturbing the amounts of some immune system elements like lymphocytes and T cells. [13]
In a study of Dutch children, PCB levels were tied to an increased prevalence of ear infections and chickenpox and with lowered immune system function, and thus greater susceptibility to disease. [14]Why are PCBs called a `probable´ carcinogen?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl
A polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB; CAS number 1336-36-3 ) is a synthetic organic chemical compound of chlorine attached tobiphenyl, which is a molecule composed of two benzene rings. There are 209 configurations of organochlorides with 1 to 10 chlorine atoms. The chemical formula for a PCB is C12H10−xClx. 130 of the different PCB arrangements and orientations are used commercially.[1]
Polychlorinated biphenyls were widely used as dielectric and coolant fluids, this means that they reduce the chance of fires occurring in electrical fields in such a manner that is safe for electricians to work with. For example in electrical apparatus, cutting fluids for machining operations, carbon paper and in heat transfer fluids.[2] Due to PCBs' environmental toxicity and classification as a persistent organic pollutant, PCB production was banned by the United States Congress in 1979 and by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants in 2001.[3] According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), PCBs cause cancer in animals and are probable human carcinogens.[4]
Concerns about the toxicity of PCBs are largely based on compounds within this group that share a structural similarity and toxicmode of action with dioxin. Toxic effects such as endocrine disruption and neurotoxicity are also associated with other compounds within the group. The maximum allowable contaminant level in drinking water in the United States is set at zero, but due to water treatment technologies, a level of 0.5 parts per billion is the de facto level.[5]
