== [[Ceremonial first puck]] ==
The term "first puck" is virtually unused in hockey. So, despite your rationale, the term "ceremonial faceoff" is correct. Unless you can provide [[WP:RS|reliable sources]] that refer to a ceremonial dropping of the puck under the name "ceremonial first puck". Wikipedia is not in the business of coining new terms. --<span style="background:#CC1010;color:#FFA0A0">'''&nbsp;Blanchardb'''&nbsp;</span>-<small><sup><span style="color:#A62428">[[User:Blanchardb|Me]]•[[User Talk:Blanchardb|MyEars]]•[[Special:Contributions/Blanchardb|MyMouth]]</span></sup></small>- timed 16:58, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== References ==
Thanks for supplying references to [[Jehovah's Witnesses literature]]. Please note that whilst information in Wikipedia articles should be ''sourced'', it is not necessary to provide a quote from the original publication, unless the exact wording is particularly notable. If the source is quoted, superfluous details (such as 'Jehovah blessed the change') can be replaced with an ellipsis ("..."). Also, references should follow punctuation - that is, commas and periods should be before the ref tag.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 21:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

:You are continuing to add lengthy quotes from Watch Tower publications on the dubious basis that they are adding context to "balance critical POV". Great care is being taken to ensure these articles are presented in a neutral way. If you can identify points of view in the articles that detract from their neutrality, then discuss or change. Loading articles up with slabs of quoted material from The Watchtower doesn't help at all. [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] ([[User talk:LTSally|talk]]) 23:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

== Warning on edit warring ==
Your edits at [[Beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses]] are becoming vexatious and appear to be the start of an [[Wikipedia:Edit war|edit war]]. You have yet to produce any evidence in support of the edits you are making regarding the exclusive salvation of Jehovah's Witnesses and are ignoring the references cited by other editors that prove you wrong. You are also deleting, without sufficient justification, reference to the WTS survey of elders that produced adverse comments about the pressure placed on Witnesses, and seeking to insert the wording "a former prominent Witness" in what I can only assume is an attempt to belittle the source of the material and detract from its importance. It is better to seek consensus on the talk page rather than simply reverting these changes. Thanks! [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] ([[User talk:LTSally|talk]]) 12:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

::The complaints of user [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] are illogical and factually incorrect. While I (that is, [[User:AuthorityTam|AuthorityTam]]), happen to believe a thirty-year-old 'opinion study' is out of place in an article about a group's current beliefs, I certainly have not repeatedly deleted references to the supposed study. Furthermore, does [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] contend that the phrase "a former prominent Witness" is nonneutral or factually incorrect? Either reason might exclude it, but neither reason applies to its usage here.

:::Regarding the matter of salvation, the fact remains that officially, '''JWs certainly DO believe that non-Witnesses will be saved''' (see quote below, from their official website). Far from "many WT articles" or "multiple references", there are NO references which contradict this view, and certainly none newer than their current website.

:::Incidentally, the edits of [[User:AuthorityTam]] have tended to include elucidatory information rather than hide it (by contrast, it is clear that certain others have actively worked to hide information, including actual quotations, that merely balances anti-JW criticism). "Light is the best antiseptic.", no?

:::The FACTS and VERIFIABLE REFERENCES plainly contradict the unfounded notion that it is "ludicrous and untenable" (per [[User:LTSally|LTSally]]) to assert that the official position of Jehovah's Witnesses is that the great crowd includes "presumably others with whom God will find favour" (to use the exact phrasing of [[User:LTSally|LTSally]]). Skeptics should note the official website of Jehovah's Witnesses, arguably the MOST CURRENT position of the faith:
:::[http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm As Retrieved 2009-04-14]
<blockquote>
:::"Do you believe that you are the only ones who will be saved? '''No. ... Many now living may yet take a stand for truth and righteousness before God's time of judgment, and they will gain salvation.''' Moreover, Jesus said that we should not be judging one another. Humans look at the outward appearance; God looks at the heart. He sees accurately and judges mercifully. God has committed judgment into Jesus' hands, not ours."
</blockquote>

:::In conclusion... I do not believe JWs contend the following, but even '''IF''' Jehovah's Witnesses in the future happened to contend that there is "no evidence" that non-Witnesses will survive Armageddon, that is a different matter than asserting that non-Witnesses CANNOT survive Armageddon or WILL NOT survive Armageddon. Insisting otherwise seems incompatible with the standards of Wikipedia. Please, avoid nonneutral assertions, avoid unwarranted over-interpretations, and avoid hiding elucidatory quotes from the official publications of Jehovah's Witnesses in an article entitled "Beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses".--[[User:AuthorityTam|AuthorityTam]] ([[User talk:AuthorityTam#top|talk]]) 16:02, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
::::The import of the quote above from the official JW site is basically "Do you believe that you [people who are already JWs] are the only ones who will be saved? No, because other people who aren't JWs ''yet'' might ''become'' JWs (i.e. JW terminology for 'take a stand for truth')". The statement on the official site is therefore not conclusive to say that JWs actually teach that people who aren't Witnesses ''at the time of the 'judgment''' will survive.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 05:16, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

== Disassociated Witnesses ==
I reverted your most recent edit to the [[Beliefs and practices of Jehovah's Witnesses]] article relating to the treatment of Witnesses who voluntarily quit the religion. There are two points here. 

The first is that the Watchtower article I had cited, Questions From Readers, July 15, 1985, page 31, unequivocally identified any person who "willfully and formally disassociated himself from the congregation" as an apostate. The article stated that "such ones willfully abandoning the Christian congregation thereby become part of the ‘antichrist’."  Your insertion of the words "with apostates among them" is therefore quite inaccurate. Your edit summary that "JW consider apostates part of antichrist (not all who disassociate)" is wrong. Your edit summary suggesting that the 1991 WT article makes clear that "not all disassoc are apostate (since 1991)" is also wrong. The 1991 WT ''does'' suggest that elders approach disassociated ex-Witnesses to invite them back into the fold. It ''does'' warn elders against approaching "certain expelled ones, such as apostates, who ‘speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves'" But the article in no way changes the doctrine established in the September 15, 1981 WT, and reinforced in the 1985 WT cited above, that all who voluntarily quit are apostates and part of the antichrist. 

The second point is that your explanation of your edit should not be inserted in invisible comments within the article. Please start a new section on the talk page for these issues. And please stop inserting long quotes from the Watchtower in the references. Thanks. [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] ([[User talk:LTSally|talk]]) 05:11, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== Anna Baltzer ==
Want to briefly thank you for your honest comment on the [[Talk:Anna Baltzer]] page, and ask that please vote to "*Keep" the article in the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Anna Baltzer]] project page.

== Quotes ==
Please note that a brief description of circuit overseers '''doesn't need''' "a century of background". Such lengthy quotes can usually be summarised and simply ''cite'' the source ''if'' they are particularly important to the subject being addressed, within the scope of the article. In this instance, the information in the quote is not of particular notability or relevance to the current circuit overseer arrangement, and the import of the quote would be more relevant to an article about the gradual development of JW procedures, though this level of detail probably wouldn't be notable even in the ''History of Jehovah's Witnesses'' article.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 06:44, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

== Watchtower ==
The articles [[The Watchtower]] and [[Charles Taze Russell]] ''never'' previously mentioned the long name, ''The Watchtower Announcing Jehovah's Kingdom'' in the article text. Please do not use edit summaries that imply that the content of the articles was merely ''changed'' to use the short name, as such summaries just make it seem that you are disappointed with not having the 'Watchtower' article named the way you wanted it. Previously you asked why it was urgent to only rename the 'Watchtower' article ''now'' (though it had actually been named the short name for most of the last several years), yet only now are you asserting that these two articles should use the long name. I agree with the use of the long names where you've changed them, but please remain objective objective in your approach.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 07:50, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Notability of a person so that he may deserve an article in Wikipedia depends on third-party articles. Make a search in google books and I will check JSTOR because I have access.

If nothing is found, then you may add him in the list of the contributors of the Concordance Bible Translation with a brief footnote about his life.

== Compromise proposal ==
My last edit at [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] reflects the consensus view of the discussion on progressive revelation. Several editors have made it plain you're wrong. You, once again, have simply reverted to wording you, alone, prefer. I wonder if you're being deliberately provocative. I have offered a compromise solution on the talk page. It's preferable that you address the issue there rather than continue your edit war against the majority. [[User:LTSally|LTSally]] ([[User talk:LTSally|talk]]) 01:18, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

==Edit warring==
Please stop trying to enforce your personal viewpoint on the page [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] without first making sure that the consensus of editors on the talk page supports it. If you continue to editwar against the current consensus-based wording you may be blocked from editing.[[User:Maunus|·Maunus·<span class="Unicode">ƛ</span>·]] 02:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

== Articles for A. E. Knoch and the Concordant Publishing Concern ==
You commented on the Concordant Version article that it is a shame that there is not an article on A. E. Knoch or the Concordant Publishing Concern. I agree, but the difficulty in both cases it seems will be getting hold of third party sources of information. As you might know, the CPC has as an ongoing project the compilation of the Concordant Version of the Old Testament; I could not find much on this project on google.  <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Csanctuary|Csanctuary]] ([[User talk:Csanctuary|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Csanctuary|contribs]]) 06:26, 17 August 2009 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

Hi, thanks for cleaning up after me! Especially regarding the block quotes you're totally correct. I think it was just overkill on my part because initially it was difficult to distinguish between the regular text and the quote.

==Use of "Jehovah"==
You point out I erred in assuming that the New World Translation does not use "Jehovah" in the New Testament. I find many, many uses of "God" in the NWT New Testament so had assumed it was absolute. This does leave us with a quandary in whether NWT fits in the category "Sacred name Bible]].[[User:Pete unseth|Pete unseth]] ([[User talk:Pete unseth|talk]]) 20:03, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
:The editor above seems to refer to [[Sacred name Bibles#List of Sacred name Bibles|this article]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Sacred_name_Bibles&diff=313896857&oldid=313881997 this edit]. He may be interested in these references...
:* "Should the Name Jehovah Appear in the New Testament?", ''The Watchtower'', August 1, 2008, page 18, "The ''New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures'' does not follow this common practice. It uses the name Jehovah 237 times in the ''Christian Greek Scriptures'', or ''New Testament''."
:* "Did the Early Christians Use God’s Name?", ''The Watchtower'', November 1, 1993, page 30, "God’s name appeared in the ''Septuagint'', it would also have appeared in the earliest copies of these ["New Testament"] Scriptures—at least where the Septuagint was quoted. Thus, the name Jehovah appears more than 200 times in the ''New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures''. 
:* "The “New World Translation”—Scholarly and Honest", ''The Watchtower'', March 1, 1991, page 28, "Many object to the use of the name Jehovah here [at Luke 4:18]. It is, however, just one of the more than 200 places where that name appears in the ''New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures'', the so-called New Testament. True, no early surviving Greek manuscript of the “New Testament” contains the personal name of God. But the name was included in the ''New World Translation'' for sound reasons, not merely on a whim. And others have followed a similar course. In the German language alone, at least 11 versions use “Jehovah” (or the transliteration of the Hebrew, “Yahweh”) in the text of the “New Testament,” while four translators add the name in parentheses after “Lord.” More than 70 German translations use it in footnotes or commentaries."<br />

Hello AuthorityTam. <s>I have looked at [[WP:AN3#User:LTSally reported by User:AuthorityTam (Result: )]]. None of the reverts there are later than 15 April, and it is now 17 April. So we would normally close such an old report as Stale.  If you believe that this is a case of long-term warring by LTSally, let me know. Otherwise, the report will be closed. Generally, it is better to open a [[WP:Request for comment]] on issues like this, which are of a very detailed nature. If you think the issue is still not resolved, you may want to consider that option. Both you and BlackCab/LTSally have reverted four or more times, but neither of you made four reverts in 24 hours.

== For the sake of accuracy ... ==
I can see you've been busy ferreting through my editing history again, but just a couple of points of correction ...
*Thanks for the reminder of the wording on my user page about being sickened by the claustrophobic, sycophantic, incestuous community of Jehovah's Witnesses. That was certainly one of the things that drove me out of your religion, but you may note those words don't appear on my user page any more.
*Your collection of my quotes [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJehovah%27s_Witnesses_and_blood_transfusions&action=historysubmit&diff=357882563&oldid=357740485 here], which you've used before as part of a previous personal attack, includes the rather poorly edited extract that suggests I was saying you were bent. What [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_and_blood_transfusions&diff=prev&oldid=357696039 I actually wrote] was that you seem unnaturally bent on restirring controversy over material I removed in order to ''minimise'' offence to Jehovah's Witness readers. And that, disappointingly, is evidently still the case. 
You seem similarly bent on misrepresenting my use of the illustration about the sharpened stake to suggest that I mean you personal harm. There may be other distortions and inaccuracies as well in what you say, but I don't have the time or interest to look them up. I think it's time for you to move on and focus more on article content and less on personal invective. [[User:BlackCab|BlackCab]] ([[User talk:BlackCab|talk]]) 23:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

== Notice ==
Hello.  This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] regarding an issue with which you may have been involved.    <!--Template:ANI-notice--> Thank you.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 04:38, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

:Please avoid trying to join the dots to work out Jeffro77's relationship to Jehovah's Witnesses, if any. Please focus on the content and arguments for keeping those articles, rather than fomenting a personal dispute. Jeffro77's own potential motivations for nominating those articles for deletion should be of little concern to you, you should be more concerned about persuading other editors that the articles should be retained. Bringing up your speculations in such detail only gives the appearance of a disruptive vendetta. I would advise that you strike your comments at the AfD speculating about Jeffro77's past.

::I note that you did similar mining of old comments on another editor recently. Please comment on content, not on the contributor. Digging through an editor's old comments to find what you think are incriminating comments and then posting them is looking like a pattern of behaviour that might constitute [[Wikipedia:Harassment|harassment]].

:::Obviously this isn't on my front burner, but it seems advisable to note that I hadn't 'joined the dots'; I merely quoted and linked Jeffro's own comment. When he was asked how he knew about Jehovah's Witnesses disfellowshippings, [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses&diff=prev&oldid=30319244 Jeffro replied "FIRSTHAND EXPERIENCE".] As a lifelong speaker of English, I believed (and believe) the terms "[[wikt:firsthand|firsthand]]" and "[[wikt:firsthand experience|firsthand experience]]" to have concrete definitions.
:::When an editor later claims to be objective on a matter, I'm not sure it is wrong to quote his own past comments on that matter. I'd be interested to see an official WP policy on that.
:::--[[User:AuthorityTam|AuthorityTam]] ([[User talk:AuthorityTam#top|talk]]) 21:54, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
::::I see you attempted to obscure this response amongst 'hiding bot edits'[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:AuthorityTam&diff=next&oldid=379419259]. If you continue your unfounded insinuations, you '''will''' be reported again. To be clear, though it is absolutely none of your business and I am granting you some degree of latitude, '''I am not a member of and have never been disfellowshipped from Jehovah's Witnesses'''. However, as I indicated <u>five years ago</u> in the online comment you so eagerly cite above from <u>a discussion in which you were not involved</u>, I am indeed certainly well aware of a good number of firsthand experiences.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 13:58, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
::::I assume you were also just as confused when you read in the 8 December 1991 ''Awake!'', "Hearing the firsthand experiences of survivors helps us understand their feelings." How could someone possibly report about ''hearing'' "firsthand experiences"? Based on your claimed understanding of 'concrete definitions', this cannot possibly be reconciled. Of course, we both know very well that there is really no problem with the wording in either case. You trawled through my edit history trying to find incriminating 'evidence', and now you're trying to justify yourself. Stop digging a hole for yourself.

== Kneejerk ==

To answer your question elsewhere about the meaning of the term "kneejerk", the term refers to an ''automatic reflex in response to stimulus''. In literal terms, though response time is sometimes ''measured'' by tapping the patella, the 'kneejerk' is the ''patellar reflex'' itself rather than the time take for the reaction to occur.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 12:06, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

== Archiving of [[Talk:Bible Student movement]] ==

The unbalanced archival of the ''Bible Student movement'' Talk page was as a result of [[User:Mikhailov Kusserow]]'s fairly dogmatic process of archiving whatever was there every year. He did this on quite a large number of articles, without any discussion with other involved parties across various WikiProjects. He has been asked to stop by various people including myself, and, at least it seems so far, that he's given it a miss this year. Fingers crossed.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 08:54, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

== Rutherford's Alcoholism ==

Dear sir, do you doubt the veracity of this fact of history?  It has been well documented, and the photo has appeared in many books.  Along with all of the documented evidence there were also a few old-timers in the Bible Student movement who would when asked share their stories about Rutherford's alcohol use.  There were many who left the Society in the 20s over this matter alone.  I'm really surprised you are trying to censor this.

== [[Thnetopsychism]] ==
Hi, a month late, but I did follow up, and it appears that "Thnetopsychism", per [[Ludwig Ott]] etc. is primarily a term used in Catholic/Orthodox textbooks following Origen and [[St. John Damascene]], wheras "Psychopannychism" is used in Calvinist textbooks following Calvin. Therefore it's simply semantics; Catholics and Calvinists have different terms for the same "heresy".

== Stop! ==

Regarding your rant about the Founders section in [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJehovah%27s_Witnesses&action=historysubmit&diff=413436783&oldid=413432575 this edit]... Stop! No one ever asked for the lengthy list, and all editors involved already knew about the list at the other Talk page. I did not ''remove'' any information, I appropriately replaced it with a link to the original section, which is fully intact. Though restoring the lengthy list was entirely unnecessary, I don't have any ''major'' complaint to having it in a hidden section, rather then needlessly dominating the page. The restoration of the section in the hidden template makes your subsequent attack entirely irrelevant. You will be reported if you continue this behaviour of commenting unnecessarily on other editors, as you have also continued doing with BlackCab.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 06:11, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

== Disassociation ==

There's no point in shouting at each other across the article talk page, so I'll raise a slight side issue here and we can hopefully address it here in a civil exchange. You plainly don't accept that the Governing Body says that those who disassociate from Jehovah's Witnesses are practicers of lawlessness. I'm genuinely baffled by your strong feeling about this, because by my reading that message is there in black and white and reinforced with the review questions. 

Paragraph 18 states plainly that JWs are to cut off contact with those who are "disfellowshipped or disassociated". The review question for that paragraph refers to cutting off contact with "a practicer of lawlessness" and asks for what this is "evidence of our hatred". You have claimed it is a tortured interpretation to apply the term "practicer of lawlessness" to those two sets of individuals. If you ''remove'' the view that the article describes such people as practicers of lawlessness, what do you have left? About whom are those seven paragraphs written?

I have said several times that the February 15, 2011 article comes the closest the ''Watchtower'' has ever done to fully explaining why those who disassociate should "be viewed and treated as are those who have been disfellowshiped for wrongdoing" (Sep 15, 1981). That 1981 article said they are to be ''viewed'' in the same way as wrongdoers (the 2008 ''God's Love'' book says without elaboration that the Bible principles pertaining to disfellowshipping of "wrongdoers" "apply equally" to those who disassociate); the 2011 WT finally lays it on the line and says those who secede ''<u>are</u>'' lawless and wicked.

As I've said, you disagree that the 2011 WT describes disassociated JWs as lawless. Are you able to explain then why the WTS directs that those who leave are to be shunned? The 1981 WT provided only one scripture as an explanation for the new organisational policy: 1 John 2:19, "They went out from us, but they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us." That chapter (v.18) warns Christians of the appearance of "several antichrists", a term that in v.22 is defined as "the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ". It is in that context that John wrote "... they had never really belonged. If they had belonged they would have stayed with us, but they left us, to prove that not one of them ever belonged to us." That chapter nowhere applies the term "antichrist" to someone who leaves a religious denomination; nor does it direct that Christians should henceforth refuse to speak to such a person in perpetuity.

If that pale and errant scriptural justification is set aside, what do you have left? The WTS directs that those who leave are to be cut off by family and friends "because we said so".

I'm not trying to bait you here: I believe the 2011 WT finally lays it on the line. You say it doesn't. So ''why'' are Witnesses told to cut off all contact with those who leave? I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts and reasoning. [[User:BlackCab|BlackCab]] ([[User talk:BlackCab|talk]]) 10:24, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:The editor apparently refers to this thread, at [[Talk:JWs#"Unrepentantly practice" revisited]][http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk:Jehovah%27s_Witnesses&oldid=444478041#.22Unrepentantly_practice.22_revisited .]<br>JWs typically prefer the term ''"disfellowshipping"'' to the term ''"shunning"''; they refer to 1) the singular act of ''expelling'' an unrepentant sinner, AND to 2) the ''withholding of fellowship'' from expelled and disassociated persons, BOTH using the same "disfellowshipping" term. It is not always obvious which of the two meanings is intended. The JW publication ''The Watchtower'' of November 15, 2006 stated, "What is accomplished by disfellowshipping [that is, by withholding fellowship]? It keeps Jehovah’s holy name clear of reproach and protects the fine reputation of his people.". JWs apparently believe that a person who both i) once made a public dedication to be a Jehovah's Witness, and ii) continues to fellowship with Jehovah's Witnesses, would be commonly (though mistakenly) seen by the surrounding non-Witness community as actually ''being'' a Jehovah's Witness. JWs are unwilling to be allow that misperception, it would seem. Of course, JWs themselves are better-positioned to answer questions about their beliefs and practices; their branch offices would likely respond to sincere correspondence.<br>--[[User:AuthorityTam|AuthorityTam]] ([[User talk:AuthorityTam#top|talk]]) 20:47, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
::I approach you directly on a civil basis and you reply in a disdainful manner, referring to me in the third person. You really do have an attitude problem. 
::In the interests of understanding your viewpoint I have invited you to say ''about whom'' those seven paragraphs in the 2011 WT refer, since you refuse to acknowledge that the direction to cut off contact with "practicers of lawlessness" is about disassociated Witnesses, even though they are explicitly identified. You have not answered the question, probably because there is no logical alternative to that which is presented in the [[Jehovah's Witnesses]] article. As I have explained at the article talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJehovah%27s_Witnesses&action=historysubmit&diff=444514944&oldid=444478041 here], I have satisfied your request by providing a quote from the article on which the statement is made.

== LTSally link ==

Would you be able to explain why you frequently add "aka LTSally" when referring to me? It's a strange behavior you have previously been asked to stop. I am unable to deduce what, if anything, you mean by it, and how it helps any other reader. There was no attempt to hide my username change almost two years ago; I sent a message to several users at the time, including you[http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAuthorityTam&action=historysubmit&diff=356523884&oldid=356057224]. You present yourself as an antagonistic, belligerent and dogmatic editor, so I can only assume you are intending to antagonise and provoke me by continually adding that phrase and then going to the trouble of adding a link, which of course redirects straight back to my BlackCab user page. Your conduct is borderline [[Wikipedia:Disruptive user|disruptive editing]], so here's the line in the sand. Explain your intent and then stop. If you continue, I will raise an ANI. [[User:BlackCab|BlackCab]] ([[User talk:BlackCab|talk]]) 00:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

: I have personally, as an uninvolved editor, found the reference useful, because I have run across many instances where comments have been made by [[user:LTSally]] where I would not have associated the comment with [[User:BlackCab]] without the reference.  I think it is simply a good faith attempt to make sure that there is transparency, and do not see any intent to be "''antagonistic''".  Also, I find it difficult to associate identifying that a past user name is related to a current editor to be in any way "''Disruptive''".

::::AuthorityTam has been told repeatedly&mdash;by admins as well as myself&mdash;to stick to content rather than making irrelevant ''ad hominem'' attacks on other editors who do not share his views, particularly when such attempts involve dredging up entirely irrelevant edits that are often years old.

Similarly, BlackCab should also avoid making reference to AuthorityTam's status as a member of JWs at article Talk, which has sometimes been the trigger for AuthorityTam's ''BlackCab=LTSally'' rants.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 08:42, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
::::AuthorityTam, I also note that you often refer to "a certain editor", usually in obvious reference to BlackCab, or respond in the third person when a 'conversation' (using the term loosely) only involves you and BlackCab. There are very few circumstances where it would be necessary to refer to "a certain editor" rather than to "an editor" or to the named editor, with the implication that you are suggesting something about the motives of ''that certain editor''. If "a certain editor" is simply used as a snide euphemism to side-step a more direct ''ad hominem'' attack on a ''named'' editor, you should consider whether the comment has any bearing at all on the ''merits'' of the argument in question.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 09:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::In fact only in the last of those five diffs did I refer to AuthorityTam as a JW. He normally inserts the "aka LTSally" phrase in particularly tense or contentious exchanges, prompted only by his heated disagreement over content. It seems to be consistent with his habit of focusing on editors rather than content, despite repeated warnings. [[User:BlackCab|BlackCab]] ([[User talk:BlackCab|talk]])<
::::::AuthorityTam's membership as a JW is something you have raised more than once, and the number of occurences in that particular selection of diffs is unimportant. I have little doubt that AuthorityTam is a JW or is closely associated with them; he has frequently employed careful wording when objecting to being ''labelled'' whilst never actually saying he is not a member, and has also occasionally indicated that he subscribes to various beliefs common to JWs; his indirect references to editors who have left the JW religion rather than directly engaging them in conversation at Talk also comes across as a distorted form of 'shunning'. However, his membership of the religion is not usually relevant to the merits of point of discussion, and is therefore not generally something that needs to be mentioned at article Talk.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 01:43, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
:::::::It's something ''you'' have raised as well, which upset him. I don't recall raising it recently and accept that he doesn't welcome such speculation. If there's a need to mention this at all now, it should be only to make the point that he should similarly respect other editors' wishes. He may have initially meant to make clear that LTSally and BlackCab were the same user (and an ex-JW with strongly-held negative views about the religion); continued use on dozens of occasions since then, with no relevance to anything, suggests he is simply trying to needle me and possibly imply some deviousness on my part.

{{od}}As an uninvolved editor here, who has only been editing for a short time, I would like to state that I have seen what appears to be a hostile attitude displayed by some editors on Wikipedia, and usually those hostile attitudes have been directed ''toward's'' '''any''' editor who might be ''perceived'' to be a "''JW editor''".  It seems to me that they are hounded, stalked from page to page, their edits repeatedly reverted, constantly badgered and harassed, accused of multiple violations of this, that and the other thing, and just generally treated in an ''extremely'' uncivil manner. Perhaps some self-examination by certain editors would be in order for the benefit of Wikipedia as a whole. After all, Wikipedia is losing new editors at an alarming rate, and there is likely a logical explanation for this trend. [[User:Willietell|Willietell]] ([[User talk:Willietell|talk]]) 06:11, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
:You're clearly not an impartial editor in this matter. But aside from that, there is a wide range of controversial topics on Wikipedia where arguments easily erupt, and JWs is one such topic. In particular, members of religious groups&mdash;full of 'zeal' and 'righteous indignation'&mdash;often try to 'defend' or 'promote' their religion, which is not the purpose of an encyclopedia. Instead, editors should present balanced information found in reliable sources. When content is disputed, issues (not editors) should be ''discussed'' at article Talk. If you have a problem with an editor, use User Talk or [[WP:Dispute resolution]] processes.
:I have had to revert inappropriate edits by other editors both ''for'' and ''against'' JWs over the years, and every time I do, I'm labelled ''anti-'' or ''pro-'' JW, depending on whose text I've reverted. Such editors often complain that they're being ''harrassed'' when they are actually just experiencing the consequences of not following the rules.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 06:34, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
::Willietell, you are certainly not an "uninvolved editor". You have gone into battle on several pages, accusing many editors, including an administrator, of bias and conflict of interest and now seem to joining a "me too" fan club for AuthorityTam, who has much to learn about manners and civility. Other editors have been unfailingly polite and patient towards you even when you persisted with your one-man crusade to have a well-sourced article deleted and rejected constant requests to produce examples of "bias". 
::In any case your defence of him on the grounds that pro-JW editors are being hounded is fairly lame. He has been at Wikipedia a long time and has not been afraid to resort to sarcasm and petty insult when it suits him. In this case I am approaching him directly (as I have done previously) and asking him to desist from conduct that is unhelpful and seems to be provocative.

== The anointed section ==

I was curious about the edit of mine you reverted [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Jehovah%27s_Witnesses_and_salvation&action=historysubmit&diff=476857566&oldid=476770533], I thought it fit into the subheading fairly well.  I restored the information after a problematic editor deleted it.  Aside from the first sentence, it is almost a direct take from the cited source, which is "Question From Readers", "The Watchtower", August 15, 2011, page 22, which states:

*** w11 8/15 p. 22 Questions From Readers ***
"''Memorial partakers.'' This is the number of baptized individuals who partake of the emblems at the Memorial worldwide. Does this total represent the number of anointed ones on earth? Not necessarily. A number of factors—including past religious beliefs or even mental or emotional imbalance—might cause some to assume mistakenly that they have the heavenly calling. We thus have no way of knowing the exact number of anointed ones on earth; nor do we need to know. The Governing Body does not keep a list of all partakers, for it does not maintain a global network of anointed ones."

The first sentence in the edit "Additionally, only anointed male elders can serve on the [[Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses]]." was in existence previously, but I saw nothing wrong with it, because it is ''basically'' true.  Still, if I am missing something here, let me know, so I can understand your position on this, thanks. [[User:Willietell|Willietell]] ([[User talk:Willietell|talk]]) 03:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

== About your edit-warring and bias ==
You dodged everything that I took the time to state and write, and my points, and didn't address anything, but simply edit-warred and reverted again, per your own tastes, and removed true valid words, that you personally  "don't like".  

So your words "unlikely that my words will persuade the editor" are applied actually to you.  You're getting annoying now.  And disrespectful.  I went through a whole thing of why "literal" is warranted (which you ignored) and "before ages"  is true and necessary and clearer, (which you ignored, but just gave out your bias about it), and ignored the points, and reverted again, stuff that's true and accurate, simply because YOU feel it's "unnecessary", which is against WP policy. 

Your objection now makes no sense and is not consistent.  You say now it shouldn't be done "without sourcing it", but ''before'' you said it was "not necessary because it was already there".  The thing is sourced in general, that that's what is meant and taught by them.  That the "begetting" was literally "first", and also that it was "before" the universal ages.  It's clearer that way, and is sourced in general.

I took the time to go over the matter, and write a bunch of stuff, respectfully and thoughtfully, and deal specifically with the points, and with your objections...and you didn't even care.

You're NOT supposed to revert or remove again, when it's still in Talk, and after I wrote a whole thing dealing with it, taking the time, and then you reverting without discussing it over more in Talk, or getting full consensus maybe (even if the consensus is arguably wrong, that has not even been reached yet.)  You just simply reverted again, in rude arrogance.  And totally ignored everything I took the time to write and deal with.  Not cool.  And against WP policy and standards.  Keep it up, and I'll maybe bring this to another page.  I'm serious. Regards. [[User:Hashem sfarim|Hashem sfarim]] ([[User talk:Hashem sfarim|talk]]) 23:20, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
:Oh. Hi. I came here to note that I saw your edit, Hashem's delete, restored your edit, was redeleted, invite you to restore it. Wasn't expecting to see the above. Might be better if the sentence was deleted entirely, otherwise good luck with finding a WP:RS and restore. (incidentally I have no idea who is pro-JW and anti-JW in the ongoing edit war?)...... on another topic, your contributions would be welome on general Christianity, Bible, Old Testament pages if you have an interest.

== Really? ==

I thought after your comment on my Talk page earlier that you were actually going to improve your behaviour. It seems you've stumbled a little in your efforts with your attack at [[Talk:Crucifixion of Jesus]]. I am really hoping that you are going to ''try'' to make some kind of effort to remain civil.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 16:07, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

I've given you a '''lot''' of leeway. Now are you going to stop [[WP:HOUND|hounding me]], or do you need to be reported?
Go on, just apologise. It'll be cathartic.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 01:45, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

You just have no interest in editing collaboratively, do you? The ''purpose'' of striking comments is to ''remove'' them, so as to not elicit further offense. Responding to the removal of such comments by ''restating the comment'' (while ignoring the context) makes rephrasing completely redundant. If you imagine that ''re-posting'' the original comment scores you any points with other editors, you're sorely mistaken. Now, will you '''please''' stick to '''content'''?--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 02:48, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Also, I see no reason to strike out reference to ''your'' use of "juvenile". So another editor called you ''juvenile'' first? What, are you five years old?? I've seen no attempt by you to civilly approach BlackCab at his User Talk page to try to work things out like adults.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 02:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

What exactly is it that you aim to achieve by presenting tedious tangential arguments at article Talk pages?? Why do you persist in refusing to rationally discuss matters at User Talk? Do you have ''any'' interest in collaborative editing, or is your aim simply to try to irritate editors who don't agree with your positions on articles?

== Close of RM on Jesus' execution method. ==

I went ahead and closed it, and broke a guideline in doing so (according to [[WP:IAR]]). It was obvious there was no consensus (as listed in my rationale), and I believe you could have probably non-controversially closed it yourself, even though you, as I, were involved - two proponents of different views agreeing on a close means "no consensus" pretty strongly. I added, of course, in my edit summary, "feel free to reverse my close and troutslap me".

== Need your opinion and input on some POV changes==

I'm not up to the big hassle right now, at least not to deal with the nonsense alone.  I was wondering if you could add your edits and comments and input to this matter, of what went on the "[[God the Father]]" article.  An editor named [[User talk:PiCo |PiCo]]  made a radical POV change to the lede (and other spots) of this article.  A blatantly pro-Trinitarian, way less neutral or balanced, lede (the lede PARAGRAPHS, not just the first line or two, or first paragraph, but everything).   He did this recently, and another editor "John Carter" seems to be in agreement with the POV push (though he'll deny it's that of course), whereas "History2007" not very sure about.  But no editor seriously challenged or undid this stuff.  It seems that PiCo (and John Carter) fail to understand that this article is not just about title "God the Father", but the overall CONCEPT.   This article should not give right off the bat the appearance that this God the Father is only about the Roman Catholic trinity view of "God the Father". I'd like your view here.  But really, this can't be allowed. I will NOT violate 3RR, but already there are 2 reverts.  Check out what I'm talking about right [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=God_the_Father&oldid=489637136 here].  I wrote on the Talk page last night, explaining a bit why I reverted, and how I felt the change was way too POV, and way too unnecessary.  The talk page stuff can be seen [[Talk:God the Father#New lead|here]].  Anyway, I'm curious what your take on this is, and if you can help out, because I really don't need the stress this weekend. You'll probably agree with my position on this.  But I'm curious.   Check all this out right now if you can.  Thanks.

== You're maybe not aware of... +  ==

Hi AuthorityTAM,

:I just remembered some few nice moments [[User_talk:AuthorityTam#A_barnstar_for_you.21|this]] and [[Talk:Jehovah's_Witnesses/Archive_56#Feel_the_love|this]]. 

:You're maybe not aware of this page [[Wikipedia_talk:Christianity_noticeboard/JW_discussion]], which BlackCab
:started after John Carter raised the situation ((on [[Wikipedia_talk:Christianity_noticeboard#Possible_debate_on_JWs_in_May_newsletter_regarding_Jehovah.27s_Witnesses.3F|Christianity noticeboard]])). I will be glad if you'll do your input on that 'JW discussion' page with polite and content-focused comments there.

:When I was blocked almost year ago (because I firmly provoked admins to do that), it was BlackCab and Jeffro77 who was surprised from my attitude.

:There is always a problem when some editors feel that Jeffro77 and BlackCab willingly work on articles to include more defamatory views on JWs than it is necessary. Some editors could feel that main article is focused on criticism and controversy, and thus some editors could be frustrated because blocking many of due/undue changes.

:I read all another ANIs, User Talk pages, Article Talk pages, in which these editors participated and seems that we could cite some statements (accusations/facts) from those cases. For example "JW-vs-JWbasher", "historical pattern", "firsthand experience", LTSally (I was thinking some days ago what was original meaning of this abbreviation. Later I realized the sense.), "JW watchdogs", "tag-team" etc.

:However I am still trying assume good faith [[WP:AGF]] from all participants. I also acknowledge that all 3 users including you - AuthorityTAM, are useful for Wikipedia.

:[[Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Resuming_AuthorityTam_ANI|Resuming AuthorityTam ANI]]

:= (my inner thoughts which I could possibly send at ANI page)

:It seems unnecessary to start ANI again due only 1 edit. AuthorityTam did several comments in 1 edit --- most of the contribution was focused on article content. --- only two comments from that single edit seems to be '''sarcastic'''. Some editors perhaps could agree that he only stated facts, how he felt them.

:Resuming ANI because of this single edit seems like waste of everyone time. I suppose that AuthorityTAM has 'hot head' after resuming his contributing. He probably could 'refactorize' those parts of his single edit, because such personal comments have hardly anything in common to JW articles. Generally speaking, new process here is not useful for 'ambience' amongst involved editors and even not needed, because AuthorityTAM did only 1 edit and did not continue with sarcasm.

:I wish that all editors cooperate with aim to improve articles and stick to content.

:See You! --[[User:FaktneviM|FaktneviM]] ([[User talk:FaktneviM|talk]]) 10:14, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

::Indeed, it is hoped that AuthorityTam will ''stick to content''. The problem is AuthorityTam just couldn't resist a further entirely unnecessary (and misleading) attack on others' motives, after having completely ignored the statements of ''several'' editors at the ANI who indicated that his behaviour has been inappropriate. It is hoped that he will in future "stick to content".--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 11:29, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

:::User:Jeffro77 should read part '(my inner thoughts which I could possibly send at ANI page)' again. I did not stated that I agree with resumed ANI. Even reversely. I said that single edit likely doesn't mean anything important and ANI is waste of time. He probably felt disgusted by other editors. It is clear that [[WP:AGF]] is essential for WikiProject JW. But that applies for everyone! Not only AuthorityTam. For instance User:Jeffro77 have high-ego-nature and he is used to have last word every time. He is not willing to admit the possibility that he has not truth in some way and deliberately resuming ANI because of single comment (= partial citation of others comment) seems like that User:Jeffro77 also have not interest to calm down 'ambience' amongst involved editors. --[[User:FaktneviM|FaktneviM]] ([[User talk:FaktneviM|talk]]) 12:40, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

Although I have to repeat again my previous opinion that [http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Talk%3AJehovah%27s_Witnesses&diff=489747378&oldid=489328461 ''this edit] is not proper reason for resuming ANI'' and call for all other editors to come. As Fazilfazil commented at ANI, ''AT never used any of those type of harsh/debasing words that the other two editors used.'' (I don't know which words precisely he thought, but I had several times similar feelings with contact) '''I suggest to simply move on''' for both sides. There is no simple solution. All editors have to retreat. And after that, perhaps another [[Talk:Jehovah's_Witnesses/Archive_56#Feel_the_love|'feel the love']] amongst JW-articles' editors will come. 'Simply move on' as previous edit here suggested. Do the first step. AT will do the second step. Try it. --[[User:FaktneviM|FaktneviM]] ([[User talk:FaktneviM|talk]]) 16:34, 30 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::AuthorityTam is welcome to "move on" by not referring to other editors at article Talk pages and instead, sticking to content. AuthorityTam took "the first step" by continuing to make oblique references to other editors after he returned to editing, without any provocation whatsoever. The ''response'' to that ''first step'' was to resume the ANI because he has not yet modified his behaviour. He again has an opportunity to take the ''first'' step by modifying his behaviour. This remains to be seen.

== El Salvador ==

When the paragraph in question at [[Supreme Court cases involving Jehovah's Witnesses by country]] was ''initially'' assessed (by BlackCab), it was probably with the assumption that the person who originally added it was not inept in their assessment of the material they lifted from ''Awake!''. In that circumstance, the ''Awake!'' article most certainly would constitute a ''primary source''.
Later, ''on closer examination'', it was determined that there is no indication '''at all''' that the case involved JWs. In '''both''' instances, the assessment that the source is not suitable remained accurate, and all the more so in the second instance.
It is quite unusual that, in your haste to smear the supposed 'motives' of other editors, you've claimed that the original assessment is 'besmirching' by ''further'' indicating that '''it doesn't belong anyway'''. If you had bothered to ''actually check the source in the first instance'', there would have been no reason to mention BlackCab's edits '''at all'''.
If you again continue to seek out 'opportunities' to attack the motives of other editors, the previous ANI will be continued.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 09:54, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

== 'Reporting' ==

What is it you're playing at with this comment?
:''I've never felt that the sentence "Baptized individuals who formally leave are considered disassociated and are also shunned." improves the lede, and would support its removal. Of course, I don't believe that those who feel differently should be threatened with being "reported".''
No one has ever ''suggested'' 'reporting' you on the basis that they ''don't agree with removing text from articles''. You ''have'' been told quite clearly on various occasions that you will be reported ''if you make irrelevant judgements about other editors''. Your snide remark is ambiguous enough to not warrant any further action, however ''if you do'' return to ''making inappropriate irrelevant remarks about the supposed 'motives' of other editors'', '''then''', ''yes'', you will be reported. In that event, it would be to your benefit if there was some evidence that you had attempted to limit your other irrelevant snide remarks such as that above.--[[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 04:11, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

==  Proposed deletion of Geoffrey W. Jackson ==
[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[Geoffrey W. Jackson]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32; because of the following concern:
:'''Similar to the article for [[Anthony Morris III]], there are insufficient secondary sources to demonstrate notability.'''

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[{{TALKPAGENAME:Geoffrey W. Jackson}}|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> [[User:Jeffro77|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77|talk]]) 07:43, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
