My answers to questions about Jehovah's Witnesses have been removed from this site, why? How does an opposing view threaten Jehovah's Witnesses? Do they have the truth so any other viewpoints must be deleted as false? Open forum questions can be answered by anyone, correct? Why then did my answer to a question "JWs Only" get removed? What exactly do they fear if they have the truth? Wouldn't a strong faith stand up to the test? Wouldn't opposing views be welcomed as the truth would always win? How does removing non-JW oriented answers prove their beliefs? Please help me understand how to get an answer removed just because I don't like it. is that correct procedure on this site? How do oppposing views violate Yahoo Terms? Or does Yahoo remove an answer just because it is flagged? Is this a self-policing forum like craigslist? I won't remove any answers I get to this question.

Censorship is a very powerful tool to manipulate the minds of the followers.
You are pointing to a very interesting problem with Yahoo Answers. People tend to like their own opinion (thumbs up, best answers etc), even though the force of this forum is really the people who challenge it.

You are assuming that JWs run Yahoo Answers. And how do you know any complaints are from a JW, it could be someone who just doesn't like you. I've had a few removed that I've wondered about, but I don't let it bother me. A question gets lost in the maze after a week, anyway. Why is it bothering you? Do you feel threatened by their beliefs? Such a little organization causing so much grief.

I have seen dozens of questions from and about JW's on this site. On those questions, I have seen opposing views. All of which were not removed.
That being said. . .If you specifically submitted a question for only women (or any specific group) to answer would you WANT answers from others.
As one of Jehovah's Witnesses, I welcome opposing views and bible discussions from varying perspectives. I would assume the person in question wanted to leave the debates for the many, many other questions.
