Recent JW changes

I've noticed you've been making some changes to the JW page with regards to Central's recent changes. I would much rather critical views go into the critical section. Is that possible you think? If not, I will make the needed changes later. joshbuddy^talk 22:49, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Controversial Topics in JW's

I understand you've been having some struggles there lately. I noticed you recent edit summary "this is a referenced point. It should not be changed!". This is not an appropriate comment per se on wikipedia. No one owns an article, and everyone is free to edit any article. When people edit articles, we are to assume good faith. This comment both discounts good faith, and could potentially intimidate new users. I just thought I'd bring this to your attention. Happy editing! joshbuddy^talk 14:05, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Reverting JW Controversy Article

I noticed that the Controversy Article is begining to receive a lot of attention again. I wanted to make sure that you are aware of the Three Revert Rule. Recently after reverting the Controversy article one of the editors was blocked because he inadvertently reverted the article more than three times in one day.

Please be aware that if you have already reverted the article three times during a 24 hour period, you may have to ask another editor to revert the vandalism or face a possible block. Just thought I might let you know before there was any trouble. Lucy 02:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Jehovah's Witnesses and User:Klava76

Please inform User:Klava76 why his edit is wrong. I don't want to violate WP:3RR. - CobaltBlueTony 15:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Controversies regarding Jehovah's Witnesses

I like your edit, but I can see how someone could attack it. It does resemble original research. If you can find a source for it, or reference the principle in some other article so it can be stated definitively, I think you'll reaffirm this point much more solidly. - CobaltBlueTony 17:50, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Citation

In response to your question "did we really need this reference?" on The Watchtower , I would say, "yea". Most JW's would know where to find this quote, but quoting things without citing the source is ... well, I wouldn't even quote the preamble to the U.S. Constitution without a citation even though most Americans should know what I'm quoting.

I think your edit is fine, if you want to remove the tag. - —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vap0rtranz (talk • contribs) 04:45, 25 June 2006

editsummary Persecution of Jehovah's Witnesses

As annoying as Truthwanted (talk · contribs) edits might be to you, his edits technically do not constitute vandalizm in its strictest sense. In the interrest of civility it would be wise if you were to refrain from using that expression in an editsummary in this case. Agathoclea 19:17, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

JW Controversies

Johanneum, you have made some recent changes to the above article. In it, you have changed a number of statements and left the references the same. Please be aware that this can be misleading, and if you are going to change anything an appropriate reference should be supplied.

Also, it would be appreciated if you could make your changes all at once, rather than having a dozen or more edits in a row which tends to clog up the history page and make changes more difficult to compare. Especially when you make several minor changes to the same sentence. Thanks. BenC7 00:52, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Witnesses Believe in Deity of Christ?

Your last edit was unclear. I've known Witnesses to say they believe in the "divinity" of Christ before but not the "Deity" of Christ. I didn't understand your edit summary. Could you explain more? Thanks. Dtbrown 14:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your encouragement

I really don't like inundating the articles with all that information like that, but I don't see how to get around it. If these common criticisms against Witnesses are to find a home at Wikipedia then I feel the WTS viewpoint, and scholarly supporters, needs to be represented as well. Basically I just provided the information and if the more active editors choose to keep the criticisms/controversies then hopefully the information I have provided will be integrated into the article as well. I usually don't have the time anymore for Wikipedia, but tonight I really didn't like what I was reading, I couldn't let it go uncontested. Duffer 13:27, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Controversies regarding Jehovah's Witnesses

Johanneum, your wikiaddiction is seen by your editing from a pocket PC! I am aghast! - CobaltBlueTony 16:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

to add crtitics/controversy to template box or not

Please read carefully the dialog at Template talk:Jehovah's Witnesses and weigh in. It would be very much appreciated.

There is an odd trend I see, too, with BenC7's proposals to delete some of the article initailly set up to pull much of the critical articles out of body of the the main/related article(s). Thoughts on my talk page at your leisure would be most welcome. - CobaltBlueTony 14:29, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Controversies regarding Jehovah's Witnesses

You should references the literature the scripture is used in, in context to the idea preferrably, and not the scripture directly, as it is open to interpretation by other users/readers. - CobaltBlueTony 20:46, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Don't we have a policy/practice/habit of NOT using e-watchman for links? Check Timothy Kline's edit. - CobaltBlueTony 17:27, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Your edits to the JW page

You seem to be deleting validly cited and referenced work on this page. I would suggest that when you make an edit, to not blindly deleted information that has been researched and reference, but to edit or update the information and place other's work where it may be more of a proper fit in relation to the article. Your example of just deleting information demonstrates a lack of respect for others' work and does not lend credibility to your own. - Protector of the Truth 14:31, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

The World Almanac and Book of Fact

The reference has no page number, no information on which edition. I just don't know what use that reference serves. joshbuddy, talk 01:34, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

What is your feeling on the offered compromise?

What is your thoughts on the offered compromise regarding footnoting "Christisn" with the Almanac reference and "using self-identification"? Dtbrown 20:28, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Citation from "Great Pyramid Passages"

I wanted to link the citation you gave from Great Pyramid Passages to the online source [1] but could not find it. I have both volumes and could not find it in my copy. I'm not saying it doesn't exist. It most likely does. Could you check your sources again to verify the exact page references? Once you have it, I'd like to link it to the online source. Thanks! Dtbrown 18:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

JW are not Christians.

JW are not Christians. Christians believe Jesus Christ is Son of God and actually God. After my research I did not find we can include JW to Category:Christian denominations.--RIH-V 22:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

The only reason I can think of for this user to take this lying down is that it is a sockpuppet made specifically to do just that. This type of tactic seems to be from rabid anti-Jehovah's-witnesses. Jehovah's Witnesses call themseleves Christians, they believe in Jesus just as other Christians do, but they don't consider Jesus to be God, with valid reason, as many other "Christian" denominations do as well:(copied from discussion)
Jesus prays to God, John 17: 1-3
has faith in God, Hebrews 2:17, 18,Hebrews 3:2
is a Servant of God, Acts 3:13; 4:27,30
does not know things God knows, Mark 13:32; Rev1:1
holy spirit does not know either is taught by the Father, John 8:27
worships God, John 4:22
calls God his God Rev 3:12
is in subjection to God, 1 Cor 15: 28
has God for his head, 1 Cor 11:1
is exalted by God, Acts 5:31; Phil 2:9
is given authority by God, John 17:2,3
is given life by the Father, John 6:57; John 5:26
is given kingship by God, Luke 1:32,33
is given judgment by the Father, John 5:27; Acts 10:42
is given lordship by God, Acts 2:36
has reverent submission, fear, of God Hebrews 5:7-10
was spoken to directly by God with others present, John 12:29
and is made high priest by God Hebrews 5:10.
Trinitarians base their beliefs on the scizophrenic (talking to himself?) lies others have spoon fed them:
If you look at the original greek rendition of John 1:1 you will see that Ho Theon and theos are what is really there,
but are deceptively translated God for both.

Speedy deletion of Jehovah-jireh

A tag has been placed on Jehovah-jireh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. DearPrudence (talk) 06:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Jehovah's Witnesses persecution under nazis

The translation of the 'Declaration' is a great addition. However, I think it should be moved to the Nazi Era or Concentration Camp sections. --Editor2020 (talk) 01:49, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Nicholas of Cusa

Greetings!

On 04:27, 26 April 2006 you made a major update to Unfulfilled historical predictions by Christians (now under a revised title), including the claim that Nicholas of Cusa predicted the end of the world in 1700. Some time ago this was removed for lack of citation, whoever did it left the introductory sentence describing Nicholas. Can you restore the claim with a citation? If not maybe delete the other sentence which now serves no purpose. PaddyLeahy (talk) 22:07, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

JW Controversies

Hi. You deleted a sourced statement from the article, with the edit summary: "deleted commonly misreprested facts on case- he was asked to translate the". This incomplete summary is a bit unconvincing, and without further clarification, the previous text should most likely be restored. Please clarify.--Jeffro77 (talk) 14:03, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

JW blood transfusion newspaper report

Hi Johanneum, I notice you changed the web link for the Vancouver Sun article on tranfusion, and then changed it back again. The article at the WWRN website is an abridged version, so the one at Rick Ross is preferable. I haven't spent a lot of time at the Rick Ross website, so I don't know if it's biased as you say; certainly it's an anticult website that has Witnesses in its sights, but in this case it is simply being used for Wikipedia's purpose as a host for that newspaper article. I don't see a pareticular problem with it. LTSally (talk) 20:44, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

JW child sex abuse

Regarding this edit, I would prefer if you did not ascribe comments to me about edits I have not directly commented about. If you agree with the principle of edits I have made, simply state the principle involved. Your edit summary made it look like I somewhere mentioned the non-word "prevalentce".--Jeffro77 (talk) 04:49, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Just to clarify, I do agree with your deletion of the cases. The removed material falls within the scope of WP:SOAP. Feel free to be bold - the worst that can happen is edits get undone.--Jeffro77 (talk) 14:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Blood transfusions

Regarding this edit on JWs rejecting blood transfusions... the JW policy isn't 'JWs refuse blood transfusions because blood transfusions don't save lives anyway' or 'JWs refuse blood transfusions because there are other therapies available.' The policy is 'JW refuse blood transfusions because of their interpretations of the bible.' In a hypothetical situation where only a blood transfusion would save a person's life, the JW policy would still be to reject a transfusion, regardless of how implausible that hypothetical situation might be considered to be. Additionally, the article only says "if death may result", not "will result".--Jeffro77 (talk) 12:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited John 1:1, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Paul Dixon (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Selective quoting

I have reverted your rather selective quoting at Rolf Furuli and instead provided a brief excerpt in the body and provided the full paragraph in the citation. Please don't quote parts of sentences in a way that alters the intended meaning. Thanks.--Jeffro77 (talk) 02:00, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

Web site languages

Please note the following:

1. Though it may be true, there is no indication that Wikipedia has "more languages than any other site". It only indicates that Wikipedia has articles in a lot of languages.
2. There is no indication that the JW site has the second highest number of languages.
3. Per the Manual of Style, section headings shouldn't use capital letters for mundane words.

Your edits have therefore been reverted. Please do not restore unless you can cite a reliable source indicating that these are the highest.--Jeffro77 (talk) 02:10, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

(I have indicated these issues at the article's Talk page.)--Jeffro77 (talk) 02:13, 10 August 2013 (UTC)

And I have removed it again. For the same reasons as last time. The only thing that has changed is the alleged order, still with no source indicating that either is the highest or second highest.--Jeffro77 (talk) 08:26, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Aaron

Concerning your change, my revert, your revert, and now my change back to the original. The general rules on Wikipedia concerning difference of opinions in trivial things such as whether to call Jehovah, the Lord, or any other honorific, comes down to what the exisiting style is and was. Your original changes, for no reason other than your opinion (including "your" as a bigger group as in your religion if that is the reason that you did said change) changed a long-standing style. It wouold be like you going and changing all the dates to another style or all the English spelled words to American or vice versa. Wheras, I am not saying whether your way is right or wrong, as it is clearly the correct way for many many people, the original way is also correct for many many people, and thusly, you, I, or anyone else for that matter wasting time on arguing this trivial point is doing the article and the Wiki, in whole, a disservice. If you feel that a style change is needed and there are definitely times when they are, such as if, for example, an article about an English topic is using American words and spellings then, if you run into resistance, the best course of action is to start a discussion on the talk page of the topic, in this case Aaron. I do not mean any disrespect to you or any group, only trying to maintain a long agreed upon standard. speednat (talk) 21:28, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Languages used on the Internet

Hello,

I have reverted your recent changes to Languages used on the Internet as the addition reads like spam and the only citation given is a page from the website of the Jehovah's Witnesses themselves that is explicitly promotional, giving rise to concerns about neutral point of view and verifiability by reliable sources, among others. lartoven (t·c) 00:05, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

See also the section #Web site languages above.--Jeffro77 (talk) 00:21, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

JW article

Regarding this edit at Jehovah's Witnesses, please note that the fact that the info is 'already in the criticism section' is not in itself reason to remove the information from the lead, because the lead is generally a summary of the article's content. However, as I have indicated at the article's Talk page, there may be other reasons why it should not be included in the lead. Perhaps you could comment at the section I started there.--Jeffro77 (talk) 11:08, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Editing against consensus

Two editors have told you that the external link you want to add isn't suitable. At best, you're editing against consensus. It has already been explained that the two different sections have different purposes. Please do not continue to make edits against consensus. If you like, you could consider dispute resolution options available to you to expand the discussion.--Jeffro77 (talk) 04:24, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Not sure what you are talking about. I deleted information (not restored) to be consistent. Johanneum (talk) 04:27, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

After your external link was removed, you tried to make a point by removing articles from the See also section. The change was not 'consistent' as already explained, and it's not clear why you would claim that you're 'not sure what I'm talking about'. In any case, the availability of dispute resolution options has been provided to you if you want to expand the discussion or get additional viewpoints.--Jeffro77 (talk) 04:35, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Once again, I deleted information not added. The other editor deleted what I added days ago, so I don't understand your point since I am not adding the link. The "concession" if that term can even be used for only two editors was in regards to my addition the other day and not any deletions that I have presently made. I don't understand your anachronistic argumentation. Johanneum (talk) 04:41, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

My explanation at the article's Talk page is quite clear. You have already been told about the available options for dispute resolution.--Jeffro77 (talk) 04:47, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
