i found this site quite a few months ago, after a curiosity search on wikipedia about jws and what's going on with the organization.
i was unfortunately born into it, 4th-generation; my great-grandfather was a special pioneer spreading the word in the early 1900s.
it was all i knew growing up, even though i struggled between trying to conform to make everyone happy ... and finding my own way in life.
Welcome.
it seems that the wt is guilty of illegally dumping printing chemicals (or as they like to say "ruining the earth") in upstate new york.
read the full articles from the news sites below.. "state officials are investigating chemical pollution found buried at an upstate new york property owned by the jehovah's witnesses organization.

Yes, see also The Island, The Truman Show, Pleasantville and Tangled for similar themes.
this past mon.
i had to have a hysterectomy and some other repairs.
i told the doc that since i'm going under anyway, if you see something that needs fixing, do it....and he went to town!
It never rains but it pours eh?
I hope you make a speedy recovery and 2012 will be a better year for you 3rdgen xxx
the 2012 yearbook has released the publisher statistics for the 2011 service year.
a scan of the report can be found at http://www.jwfacts.com/images/2011-publisher-report.pdf and i have started updating the graphs at http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/statistics.php.
as expected, it is following on from similar trends to the last 15 years.
Who knows what the future holds, but if decline was going to set in you might have reasonably expected it to have started already: the generation prediction failed in 1995, the Internet has been exposing them since the late 1990s, bad publicity on child protection in the mainstream media, book study cancelled in dubious circumstances, numbers of anoined on the increase, and goodness knows what else. Yet they still posted an all time peak for publishers in the UK this year. If all that didn't result in a decline then what exactly would it take?
I firmly believe that if they were measuring today exactly what they were measuring 12 years ago, you would see a decline. Interventions such as allowing people to count as pubishers by recording 15 minutes of time and allowing both parents of chidren to count as active pubishers by both recording time spent studying with their children have fudged the numbers.
I can't speak as to what is happening in other areas of the UK but in our congregation, we have had only one convert under the age of 60 in the past ten years that I can recall. Silver surfers are the fastest growing demographic on the internet though and I think this last stronghold of potential converts will become less productive in the coming years. Incidentally there is not much in the way of a foreign language field where I am and the picture is probably different again in those areas.
