my article is titled whistleblower watchtowers dump and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/12/whistleblower-watchtowers-dump.html.
Marvin,
This news story has been the tipping point for my wife as she reassessed whether or not this was God's organization. Please if possible, can you share the source and encourage him to publicly come forward? This will be the final "nail in the coffin" in terms of my families involvement with the Watchtower.

i copied and pasted the article below because the link may not work, you have to pay to see this newspaper site.. http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?aid=/20111226/news/111229858.
shawangunk state authorities are overseeing the investigation of chemicals and debris that were found buried at watchtower farms.. the state department of environmental conservation said the pollution was found at three different sites on the 1,141-acre property.
each of the pollution sites covers roughly 2 acres.. matt hubicki, a dec environmental engineer, said hints of the contamination were found in 2007 while the jehovahs witnesses organization was building an expansion.. they found some drums while digging the foundation for one of their residential facilities, hubicki said.
I wonder if the drums of chemicals poisoned any ground water ? This has the potential to be a huge headache for headquarters.

Great work Cedars. It seems like there is a definite trend with a little bump at 30-39%. Could you aggregate the totals and show a total trendline as in % growth per internet penetration? It is little wonder that the WTS depicts a Cat 5 cable as a snake. It is a snake that has bitten them.

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.
I haven't seen the report yet but I think that the Bahamas and the Turks Caicos have been assimilated into the us branch. Siam
2011 is a special landmark year in my life, because it is the year when i finally said "enough is enough" and awakened from my increasingly passive role within the jw faith.
coincidentally, this was also the year in which the governing body "ramped up" its rhetoric to ever more dizzying heights of arrogance, hatred, and absurdity.
whether 2011 subsequently goes down in the history of the watch tower society as being a true turning point in its downfall remains to be seen.
Cedars you are the man!
Thansk for all of your work on these topics bringing attention to the bizarre and conflicting teachings of the Society. Here is wishing to 2012 being the year that the Society gets their ass handed to them in courts, in the media, and in the minds of the flock.

crisis of conscience within the traralgon congregation of jehovahs witnesses?
part 2december 18, 2011 by sitepost .
These poor children. I hope that the media picks up on this story. Witnesses love to say how they are nothing like the Catholics. Wrong! there is no difference between the religions when it comes to this problem.

how long does it take for the elder's to respond to a letter of reinstatement?
is there a time range?.
It depends on how busy/ lazy they are. I have seen it take 3 months from the time the letter was received to the time they met with the person requesting reinstatement. Siam
have anyone of you read, the absolutly jaw dropping paragraph in this article about a women who was hit by her husband?
its in page 25 of the 2/15/12 wt study edition (i read the dumbed down version).. .
if there was any question, that the watchtowers stance is for wives to simply take it when their husbands abuse them, this makes it crystal clear.. who the hell is scanning these things before they go to print?
Funny that this was bumped today.
I asked my wife last night what she would do if I ever hit her? (I won't ever do this and hate people who are abusers).
She replied that she would walk out the door never to return. I agreed that was probably the appropriate response. I am going to let a couple of days go by and then mention this study article and see what her reaction is. If I am correct she will be disgusted. It is incredible that the organization puts the blame for the violence on the victim and uses pressure to compel the victim to stay in an abusive relationship.
Watchtower- you are cutting your own throat.
