Warwick Polution

has there been any discussion about why jehovah would guide his people to a polluted property to build their world headquarters?

I'm thinking the Governing Body in their end of the world short sightedness and rush to get out of Dodge and move to the boonies bought the property without a in depth soil testing and that some time after they bought the property and while developing it they found the contamination which was then reported to the Environmental Agency in 2012.

They probably knew the potential for it being polluted property but chose to keep a blind eye to this potential and hoped that no contamination would be found and for this reason they did not do a thorough soil testing.

This seems to be a pattern with them buying property around the world. They are looking for quick fixes and cheap real estate which they can latter sell when the lawsuits start mounting up in one country after another. They are in a rush to get money and make profits$$$$ and so they are acting very carelessly with the Lord's money so to speak.

I expect from this point on carelessness to even increase as they grasp a financial straws to save them from going down for the 3rd time.

- Can you expound on the "pollution" issue concerning Warwick, please? I must be outta the loop, cause i havnt heard anything about it. I appreciate you letting us know, thanks.

Someone should call the WT and ask them for a comment about the situation and ask them if they did their due diligence before buying the property or if they just felt wishfully Jehovah would guide them someway and failed to do due diligence trusting in him.

WARWICK - The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is suing International Nickel and several of its affiliates, which it accuses of contaminating land where the religious group is now building its massive 1.6 million-square-foot world headquarters.
The 252-acre property on Kings Drive was previously owned by International Nickel, which operated a research and development site and a foundry there between the mid-1960s and mid-1980s. Watchtower, better known as Jehovah’s Witnesses, purchased the property in 2009.
In the lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York's Southern District, Watchtower says International Nickel operated a wastewater treatment plant at the site to handle effluent, and also owned underground tanks to store fuel and other hazardous material.
Watchtower claims that International Nickel discharged petroleum, including oils containing polychlorinated byphenyls - or PCBs - into the wastewater treatment plant, and into the soil and groundwater, thereby contaminating the environment at the property. PCBs, which are probable human carcinogens, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, were banned in the United States in 1979.
Watchtower is in the process of building offices, apartments to house 1,000 adults, a cafeteria, a vehicle-maintenance building, an infirmary and a parking garage in Warwick. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of 2016.
Watchtower’s lawsuit says International Nickel failed to clean up the environmental problems it created during decades in Warwick. The suit also names International Nickel’s parent company, Vale Americas Inc., and its affiliates, including Vale Canada Limited, Precision Castparts Corp., and Special Metals Corporation.
Watchtower could not immediately be reached for comment. A spokesman for Vale said the company hadn’t been served yet and therefore had no comment.
It wasn’t clear when Watchtower discovered the contamination. The suit says Watchtower contacted the state Department of Environmental Conservation about the pollution in 2012 and '13, and has been cleaning the property under the direction of the DEC.
Watchtower is seeking unspecified reimbursement for the cost it has incurred in the cleanup and remediation. It is also seeking damages, restitution and attorney fees.

How Comfortable Are The Governing Body At Headquarter After This Massive Lay Off?

by Brokeback Watchtower in

this lay off and all the child molestation lawsuits coming to a head with more lay off in the wings.

i'm sure there is a lot of concern going on among those still there.

i'm sure a lot are finding out for the first time that the governing body are all frauds by doing secure internet searches to find out just how much they been had by these villans , i think the situation could be dangerous (the possibility exist).

Brokeback Watchtower

Their exposure as frauds is all over the place government testimony it's all public records ever where avalible on the internet with lightning speed. It is only a short matter of time before everyone at bethel knows they can't hide except in their rooms but gotta come out some time bet security is tight.

As many find out TATT and the prospect that they will be thrown under the bus at any time by this group of Corporation men called the Governing Body. Many might seek revenge for the deception and the double cross.

I wonder if it will ever reach the point where there is massive booing going on when they address the family at headquarters? I really do think trouble has come to roost right there in the heart of spiritual paradise.

JW message becoming more and more relevant

by lsw1961 in

mans requirements are limited which can be satisfied with a little and tension-free endeavor..

however man attempts not only to collect but also to grab and amass everything to the excess.

somehow he feels that he can be happy only when he has in abundance whereas others have nothingwhich seems to be the thread that runs throughout the history.

Brokeback Watchtower

Jehovah motivates me, I just do it. For me Jehovah is more real than the air I breathe in.

Even more real than gravity and the laws of physics perhaps?

Building layoffs & JW calendar 2016 theme

by Gorbatchov in

jw

the theme of the jw calendar 2016 is building, building, building.

all the calendar pictures are about building wts property with cheap labor witnesses.. and then, just before the year approaches the building has halted.. it seems a short term decision.

a strange correlation again.. gorby.

Brokeback Watchtower

Denial is a real bitch that keeps biting the superego CEO's of this corporation in the ass.

A calendar full of reminders though out the year about how fucked up the Governing Body really is and that they don't know their ass from their elbow. Spending money on huge building projects around the world while mega bucks worth of lawsuit are starring them in the face to which I blame on denial and wishful thinking.

Evolution and Creation—both are stories!

by lsw1961 in

there are number of nobel laureates and other great scientists in both the camps defending their respective theories of evolution and creation, which means both are just stories, and both suffer from having no eye-witnesses.

if either of them were true, all scientists would have accepted it unanimously as they do with rest of the laws such as law of gravity..

this does not mean that there is no god.

Brokeback Watchtower

And apples and oranges are both fruits. So what's the point? I think the story of evolution takes us way deeper into the mysteries of creation than the story of the bible about creation how deep can that take you when you have a bronze age Deity that just snaps his fingers and blam everything starts popping into existence in a matter of days.

Why does Antoine Leiris' powerful tribute to his wife, killed by ISIS in the Paris attacks, bother me so much?

by nicolaou in

here is the translation of monsieur leiris' words;.

friday night, you took an exceptional life - the love of my life, the mother of my son - but you will not have my hatred.

i don't know who you are and i don't want to know, you are dead souls.

Brokeback Watchtower

Thumbs up Simon. Hatred turns into insanity sometimes and if a person can let it go and watch others handle the situation so much the better he has to rebuild his life for his son and himself and he aint' gonna be wasting any time hating.

Hating is negatively charged emotional thought which moves one towards irrational actions when in full swing or at a high level. Very little information gets to the prefrontal lobes of the brain for processing while in this state performance goes down as do ability to manage daily activity. Bad state to be in. Staying in a state of love and caring brain functions thrive and one makes much better decisions.

My letter to Bethel about the flood

by Cornbread in

i've decided to go full public with a new username on this forum.

it's been almost a decade since i've been out and i don't care at this point who knows.

that being said, here's a letter that i'm mailing to bethel.

Brokeback Watchtower

Write back a reply telling the bro who wrote it, that you wondering if doubts have effected him since he has to write letters like this one to many people who may have a question about some teaching.And he does it 5 days a week. Ask him if there is a term limit on his job because it can cause doubt having to answer all these letters..

Magazine money

by pepperheart in

from next year the borg will only be publishing the two magazines saving about $2 million dollars a month.

what do you think they will be spending the money on

Brokeback Watchtower

They need to phase out printing entirely as it is a money losing business and probably has been for over a decade. These CEOs are too slow and brain too shrunken to make good decisions in time to save this corporation from insolvency, they have been reckless by throwing good money after bad for a long time wishing for Armegeddon to save them from bankruptcy.

The Governing Body are a bunch of brain dead wishful thinkers who have brought this corporation to the precipice of oblivion and all they can do is grasp at straw to save them from going under. They are buying cheap chemically contaminated land and building on it around the world is the best they can do to stem the tide of implosion(how wise is that).

If they have been tucking away any money for themselves you can bet they were reckless and left a trail easy for the feds to follow when the time is right and the shit really hits the fan. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this group of GBs either homeless or in prison in the not too distant future.

I bet just the legal fees for defending this group from lawsuits all around the world are already soaring through the roof.
