Does WIKI just delete without explanation? No reference to a TOS violation? Anything?
Very clear reasons were given for removal of the edits in question, with specific references to Wikipedia policy, by various editors.
Like many disgruntled editors who don't understand Wikipedia's policies and make no effort to find out, 'The Searcher' instead assumes that anyone who removes their edits for any reason 'must' be 'pro' or 'anti' whatever it is the rampaging editor is trying to rant about.

Or is it only topics which could upset your beloved G.B?
More evidence that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

The Searcher:
If I'd known that WikiPedia's published information was subjected to the biased scrutiny of individuals with personal agendas, then I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to share the WTBTS own update regarding their un-Holy funding scheme! In light of my experience with WikiPedia, I will gladly spread the word regarding their "trustworthiness"!
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. Very clear and specific reasons were provided for why your edits are not acceptable. Wikipedia has policies that govern content and behaviour. You've breached both.
Please go and delete THAT section JEFFRO77 - otherwise, some people might think you've got double-standards!! (or worse!)
Wikipedia also has policies about editors such as yourself disrupting articles to try to make a point. The correct way to point out that something is not properly sourced - which you can't assume anyone is necessarily aware of - is to comment on the article's Talk page, or add a template indicating that a citation is required. The exactly wrong thing to do is put a paragraph of snarky commentary directly in the article.
the book of enoch taught women magic, the art of war.
and cosmetic..they felt this book was too far out in left field.. the show "bible secrets revealed".. ok, magic vs having a monster baby by a angel.. so happy they omitted that book, otherwise women would.
be leaders of the militaries.
tim hooper:
If they were the product of angels and women then they'd be sterile.
Since angels and 'nephilim' have never existed, it's implicit that the nonexistent nephilim would be unable to have children. But there is zero basis for the claim that the offspring of fictitious magical spirit thingies would necessarily be sterile. Assigning any particular attributes to 'nephilim' is really just fan-fiction.

DATA-DOG:
I admit that I don't know much about Wikipedia, but what Jeffro says makes sense. SEARCHER, maybe you would reach more people by simple posting information about the letter on other sites, like Yahoo answers or something similar, or JW chat forums?? You may be spinning your wheels on Wikipedia.
That's very good advice. There are plenty of places for getting this kind of information across. Wikipedia is not one of those places - at least not until the information can be cited from an appropriate source. And even then, the change in arrangement would best be summarised in a single dispassionate sentence.

can you do a before and after jeffro?
The text in question (one of the less unsavoury renditions) is in the initial post of this topic. It is based on an unusable source, and the text is hardly of the quality for an encyclopedia anyway.

Sigh. Some people need to learn that Wikipedia has policies about what kind of sources are acceptable. You cannot use a forum or a blog as a source. They also need to learn that Wikipedia is not the place for 'exposés' or soapbox rants. And they need to learn that posting commentary in articles complaining about the removal of their inappropriate edits is not going to score them any points.

AnnOMaly:
Neil!
There's some unfinished business between you and Jeffro on THIS THREAD . Just another reminder.
Ha ha. That must have been some Christmas party, 'scholar'.

i am looking up stuff now to show him but if you have any proof, qotes, etc.
to help me wake up my husband please send to me now asap!.
found in 2000 with a group of antiquity smugglers this bible contains the gospel of barnabas according to the report in the national turk.. written in aramaic this gospel account was omitted by the church during the period of the council of nicea.. the text maintains a story similar to islam regarding jesus being a great prophet.. is has a reported value of $28million and is said to be in the museum of ankara.. http://moorishharem.com/culture-detail/1500-year-old-bible-that-jesus-christ-was-not-crucified-vatican-in-awe/.

Cold Steel:
Jesus was called the "second Adam" because as Adam brought death into the world, Jesus brought life.
That claim in itself demonstrates to reasonable people that the whole story of Jesus' 'ransom' is nonsense. It is a very well established fact that 'Adam' never existed, so hinging the supposed 'ransom' (even though knowing you'll get something back after 3 days isn't really a ransom anyway) on the supposed actions of an obviously fictional character should be a clear sign to any educated person that the story about Jesus is just as fake as the whimsical folklore of Genesis. That said, the 'Gospel of Barnabas' is just pro-Islamic nonsense instead of pro-Christian nonsense.
