A particular Jehovah's Witness on YA! has successfully deleted our account for asking FAIR questions and giving FAIR answers. With enough evidence, which we do have in our possession, will the Elders in Leaderville, Colorado hear us out? Do they listen to non Jehovah's Witnesses? SB22 has actually admitted to do such an act to others. Here is her response to the questioner (I saved all the notes because I had a feeling the question would get deleted!!! of course, it did)
SB22 response on Yahoo answers (here is her profile-http://answers.yahoo.com/activity?show=cR8UZdi1aa)
"Perhaps you're blocked because of your comments, do they abide by YA TOS do they
violate YA TOS. I've been here 8yrs & I know that no member has authority to
remove individual's questions or answers. But ALL members have the
responsibility to report abuse. Don't you report abuse? You should if you see it
happening. Especially abuse that "calls out other members" & insults them, or is
harassment, impersonation, rant, etc. Do you think that maybe you are violating
YA rules & its not JW's who are "deleting your questions/answers"? I'll ask you
straight out, have you considered this a possibility? I'm not trying to be
argumentative here, I just see that you're frustrated & unclear on how things
work on YA. I get falsely reported all the time (especially lately) but a simple
appeal can reinstate your questions if they weren't in violation. If they
weren't, that's all you have to do, if they're not reinstated, then YA
moderators feel the content violates their rules. Not the JW's. Jehovah's
Witnesses answer sincere questions asked about us specifically or about the
Bible or God, & we usually reference scriptures. But we have no special
authority to remove anyone's posts, even if it DOES violate the rules of YA.
Just something you might want to keep in mind, you don't want to blame someone
for something they didn't do, we have no way of doing what you are claiming
here. You said that "To blame it on others is just flat out deceptive." You
think? So do I! I personally report abuse that is outright vicious, calling out
other members, insulting them directly, posting false accusations about us!
Posting rant or hate speech against JW's! Misrepresenting, impersonating or
accusing JW's directly with false claims, harassing members, antisemitism,
promoting violence or aggression, stalking & other outright violations. So do
other respectable YA members! 99.9% of the time you spend here is targeting
JW's? Can you say that 99.9% of that time is respectfully asking/answering
questions about JW's? This is not a venue to debate with others, to bash other's
beliefs, its not even for chatting with others who hate JW's too. Or anyone
else. I've seen a lot of abuse, especially on R&S that has nothing to do with
JW's, you know what? I report that too. Its abuse. Its unacceptable. I like YA,
but I dislike very much the people on here who think they can use this site to
personally bash others. Its a Q/A format to respectfully share knowledge on
various subjects. Maybe you can review YA guidelines & it'll help with any
misconceptions you have about how YA works & may also alleviate any paranoia of
JW's removing your Q/A's, we really don't own YA! I can't speak for others, but
when I see outright vicious, disrespectful remarks made against my faith, I
report it for abuse! But YA moderators are the ones to decide if it was falsely
reported or warrants removal. So if your answers were removed, its because YA
has the right to do so. Why not ask them this question, I'm sure they can
explain their TOS, maybe you'll respect them more than you do JW's. Sorry you
think so badly of JW's, but if you post things like this, blaming members of a
religion specifically for things, then its no wonder so many JW's block you!
'Hello Me' is referring to me. Trolls are going thru my acct & reporting
everything I've ever said on YA. I answered in the art category a lot & I admit
I used to get SO annoyed with tweens texting their questions, like "am i prety
luk me pics rate" posted in the fine art section. It was almost as bad as how JW
haters post their rant in R&S now, & Hello me is correct, I got so annoyed with
it that I started answering all these idiotic questions with "use a spell
checker" & I even called a few idiots. My bad. I haven't done that in a LONG
time. But apparently the trolls don't care, they are going back thru 8 years of
my account & targeting me right now, anything & everything that they can report
they do. I don't even appeal those answers because I know that isn't abiding by
YA rules. They are right! It was an old habit, but I'm pretty sure that I
haven't offended them so much that they are reporting me now, its probably the
same trolls not being able to find real violations so they report the most
frivolous things. Their real intentions? Who knows. Those answers I didn't
appeal, they're just old remarks I made that aren't important. If they want to
waste their time on my 8yr old answers about spell checkers in the art section
they can knock themselves out! ski, sorry but I don't know what you're preaching
at me."
This was a question I put up 2 days ago and got deleted for no good reason:
"Our group plans on contacting the Elders in Leadville Colorado and giving them
sufficient evidence regarding a particular Jehovah's Witness who is not following the
rules mentioned in the Elders Manual. It is a sad situation indeed but must me
addressed in order to actually help this individual understand the proper way to
submit and obey the rules she must go by. The Bible gives explicit rules the
Jehovah's Witnesses must follow and this individual MUST obey those rules or be
reprimanded for not doing so. Logical sense, don't you think?"
SB22 lives in Leadville, Colorado and we need to find her Elders and give them the evidence we have collected informing them of her bad behavior on YA! Answers. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you kindly. Ultimatley, I would like to have her account suspended, she has over 40,000 points and has been a member for 8 years. We had 10,000 points, now I have to start over. We spent countless days answering questions to help those witnesses who wanted to break free from the chains and now it's all gone!! We worked really hard this past year and half, in just a click of a button all of it got deleted unfairly. I am very disturbed about it BUT at least I gained knoweledge and know how to approach them in a much more intelligent way. You guys on this forum have helped me so much in understanding the JW way of thinking. I would like to say to Jeff, the love of my life, that I love you beyond words and you have especially helped me gain knowledge in this subject matter !!! Not all JWs are beast like creatures with bad attitudes BUT most of the ones on YA! need to change their unChristian behavior toward others. My friends, if you have any question I can ask on YA!, please let me know. We plan on setting up a Facebook account and would like to add anyone on here that's interested. Thank you kindly, C
