Y!A is taking care of that one step at a time. Don't worry about it. You are not doing something right if you haven't been reported at least once.

honestly if u haven't noticed lots of are rights are being taken away or toned down, because of the fear that exists in this country that the GOP and the media have pumped into the people about terrorists. the thinking is that if you take away all their rights they will shut up and not terrorize which could honestly be further from the truth, and the only freedom that hasn't been touched was what else our freedom to use as many guns as we want.

It is true that Jehovah's Witnesses are not loved by everyone.
http://jw-media.org/newsroom/human_rights.htm
Some people hate Jehovah's Witnesses out of ignorance, or over some misunderstanding. A few may have had a bad personal experience with an individual who claimed to be a Jehovah's Witness, and prejudicially extended their animus to this entire Christian religion.
However, it seems that the majority of anti-Witness hatred is motivated by religious intolerance and bigotry. A few may even be motivated against their Christian worship by the unseen 'god of this system of things', Satan the Devil.
(2 Corinthians 4:4) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers
Interestingly, such "hatred" should be expected by true Christians in this time of the end, and it actually helps identify Jehovah's Witnesses as Christ's true disciples:
(John 15:19) If you were part of the world, the world would be fond of what is its own. Now because you are no part of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, on this account the world hates you.
(Luke 6:22) Happy are you whenever men hate you, and whenever they exclude you and reproach you and cast out your name as wicked for the sake of the Son of man.
(1 Peter 4:4) Because you do not continue running with them in this course to the same low sink of debauchery, they are puzzled and go on speaking abusively of you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
It seems signficant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:
(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.

I totally disagree. I think people are taking Freedom of Speech too far. Watch all the talk/news shows on TV these days. People openly bash the President, it amazes me that we can publicly diss the leader of our country. I think Y! Answers is a small portion, not regulated by the government/constitution which gives us free speech, but by mere members of the population.
The only modern example I can think of that might indicate a change in the free speech allowance is the current hot-topic of New York: the ban on using the word "n*gger". I hate that word, but I can't believe that a government is trying to ban it (although there is no punishment for using it).

Fight Back! I think that we are in the middle of some puritanical hypocrisy that America always cycles trhough. I can tell you this, the patriot acts 1&2 havent helped much with other civil liberties. Give it some time, and all we be well agai. WE are into the 21st, progessive thinking and actions are soon to follow.

not everyone on yahoo lives in america, and not all countries have freedom of speech like we do. It's nice to have it, but consider those who don't, and who could be put in jail for saying some of the things we do

Dude some retard censored me for saying "creationists are confident dinosaur bones were placed by Satan" as an answer. How is it insulting if they say it! Just because they said something stupid doesn't mean they need to offend themselves! Really, it takes negative IQ to offend yourself, but those creationists...
