Questions about JW's?

Question

Has anyone else here noticed that questions about JW's seem end up being violations frequently? Even questions that violate absolutely no rules. Yet they are reported and you lose point. Anyone else notice this?

Also anyone else notice that JW's seem to block anyone who answers in a way that they cannot refute?

Vot Anarж - Actually I believe this is the first time I have asked this.

Grey Tower - You can block users so that they cannot answer your questions.

Unsilenced Lamb - Yeah it is not so much the points as I hate good questions being deleted. I also hate being blocked and unable to combat their twisting of the scripture. And it seems the better the question the quicker it is deleted.

Jenny - point being that it is annoying. That it violates the rules by reporting a question that does not violate the rules. That basically it is low down and dirty.

JC - I often answer the questions. However the point in me asking questions is to get answers. Not to answer questions myself. I don't wish to get sidetracked off of the topic I am discussing.

Mommyof1 - So he is blocking JW's too? Weird. I imagine I know why he blocked me. His questions were easy to defeat using scripture. I don't think he likes anyone presenting an answer he can't refute. Not sure why he would block a fellow JW though.

Princess Yum-Yum - report them and put your speculations in the details.

Answer 1

They must be very sensitive. Either that, or very insecure, otherwise why would they see fit to remove questions that inform the general public of their beliefs and practises? They don't like to be criticised, although I've noticed they are not backwards in coming forwards when they criticise anyone who disagrees with them.

By the way, what's blocking?

Answer 2

First, do I think they get violations more often, honestly I don't know as how many times a question is reported, why and by whom is private.

I do see ALLOT of questions on here that include profanity, lies, etc about my faith that stay up, so clearly it isn't as though the moderators single out those questions to remove.

As for "unfairly reporting" questions. How do you know who reports what? As for unfair, many things are reported, with out being removed. As a rule, if Y!A removes something it is because they saw it as being in violation, therefore the MODs, the ones whose opinion on the matter, matters decided said question should be gone.

As Christians we are trained to strive to follow the Bible, no one does it perfectly.

Honestly, this sounds mostly like sour grapes.

It might interest you to know I have recieved 3 violations notices, and I am a Witness. I strive to give informative, polite, answers, and I don't often get my Questions or Answers removed.

PS It is often the "death rattle" of an account when someone complains they are getting reported allot. If you get violation notices, try to see what you might be doing that violates Y!A, and try to improve.

There are many answers on here that I don't agree with, but that aren't rude, that remain up here.

Hope this helps.

PPSS
Who is blocked by whom is, once again, Private. It never ceases to amaze me how various ones on here claim knowledge they can't have unless they are a MOD. A few on here have claimed to know where I live, and work, I died laughing at their guesses.

Answer 3

A lot of questions get deleted here. The fact that you notice the JW ones is because you are particularly interested in those questions.

Last time you said they are "always" deleted until it was pointed out to you by a Top Contributor that he had managed to find at least 8,000 questions about JWs and answer them.

Here you are asking again.

EDIT: Edge dear, my bad. It was not your question- I guess that's what happens when you sleep at 2am and get up at 7am for three days in a row answering questions and doing school work at the same time. ;-)

I still haven't noticed that specifically JW Qs get deleted, though.

Answer 4

I have a question for you..

Why do you ignore the questions given to you every time you ask one of Jehovah's Witness a question?


Update:

Not so Edge.

Here is the question you asked a few days ago.

---------------------
JW's: The soul is the body?
If the soul and the body are the same thing why does this verse mention both? If they are the same thing wouldn't this be repetitive and pointless?

1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
---------------------

Answers we gave.

---------------------
We don't believe the body and the soul are the same.

The Soul is just the life of the person - Thats it.
---------------------
---------------------
You are mistaken.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not believe that the body and soul are the same thing.
---------------------


After choosing the best answer to a non witness, this is what you said.

---------------------
Funny the watchtower condemning something as the teaching of Satan. Pot calling the kettle black there
---------------------


How does that sound?

Answer 5

Is Heavenly Eyes the same as (I AM) !!! H.E.AVENly EYEs? He recently posted a q 'Jehovah's Witnesses / Why do Non JWs NitPick tHE New World "Bible"... and I took a look at his profile. You should, too. Before he made everything private I noticed that at least one of his contacts was almost identical in avatar look and in writing style. Very peculiar.

Also, I've noticed just recently that some questions that go into voting attract huge numbers of votes for one particular answer. What's strange is that the total number of votes given is more than double the number of answers given - where are all these voters coming from? Something fishy is going on....

Is there any way that we can get Yahoo! to take notice?

Answer 6

Yeah!!! I was blocked too by Heavenly Eyes and all 20(exaggeration) of his other profiles, and am a Jehovah's Witness, what's up with that!!

Answer 7

Havn't noticed...

Answer 8

I have noticed and I am now going to be blocking most of the JW's..I cold care less about points...that is silly...I do resent people with numerous accounts ganging up and having others questions removed or giving themselves best answers....Cheating is ignorant.

I do have a right to post questions and have them stay up unless they actually do violate YA rules....I call such people Violation Weenies, and they need o have their accounts closed for good.

I suspect that some prominent JW is monitoring the questions and answers and taking out the things that make them look bad...It makes me double my efforts!

Achtung_Heiss..%40 best answer..has at least 5 accounts to vote for himself
HeaVenLy EyEs...%40 Best answer votes for himself andHeiss and posts ignorant questions so that he can give himself Best answer...
Doesn't the bible say that Cheaters will not inherit god's kingdom?

Maybe we could become violation weenies and have all their dogma removed!

Answer 9

No, i have not noticed.

Answer 10

Point being......?
