Quora Spamming by JWs

  Somehow Quora got my email address. I have a constant stream of unsolicited content turning up in my email. The only way I found online to stop it is to block each Quora address individually and it gets sent to spam. The stuff is relentless. I don't even have a Quora account. I just checked my spam folder after about a week and there were nine unsolicited, unwanted Quora Digest emails. About six were JWs asking questions that nobody asked, and then answering them.

  Why am I getting so much JW content? It used to be all about Hitler and Stalin. Now it's about why JWs are right to shun, how Ray Franz was a power hungry social climber, and so on. It's all very annoying.

  (I check my spam folder from time to time to check that nothing important accidentally ended up in there)

  Here's an example of a "Dorothy Dixer"* I found in my spam folder today:

  What is the dress code of Jehovah's Witnesses?

  Ties during meetings are only required in certain parts of the world where it is the normal standard. Women can wear trousers whenever it is appropriate. Men can wear skirts if that is the local custom. Most brothers in Fiji wear skirts to the meetings. If that is the standard for your area, then that’s fine. Many women are on construction where it is a requirement to wear trousers. Any casual time is fine too. The key is decency and modesty. Disregard Ex JW rants. They are usually Ex JWs because they don’t listen to what is taught. They choose to disregard the advice from the scriptures which is purely about decency and modesty and think their own standards are all that matter. They have left of their own accord. Nobody gets disfellowshipped for not wearing a tie.

  Any men willing to wear a skirt to the Kingdom Hall? 🙄

  * A Dorothy Dixer is a question asked by a backbencher MP on the government's side in the Australian Parliament during Question Time. It is used as a platform for the Govt Minister to brag about how great the government is, and how well they are doing. 🙄
