Why is it whenever a question about spitituality is asked someone puts the watchtower website as an answer?

These people "VANGYBLUE, FRODO, PEYI2, & TEENEY1116" give you negative answers,\n\nAnd they do the SAMETHING, "teeney1116" says it is a "load of crap" her answer is a "load of crap" when you accuse someone of something, and then you do the same thing.  If you will notice she lists 5 web sites to prove her point.\n\nIt's always the "JW's" that you complain about, and most of you do the same thing, but I love it, because it gives me something to respond to.

When you try to answer your own question, it ceases to be a question.  It becomes you trying to preach your singular viewpoint to the community.\nThis is not what this site is all about.  It is people asking questions, and getting answers.

I've seen some abusive answers and questions, it's expected due to this online open answer and question forum.  Don't take offense to any answer, people are just sharing their opinions.  Don't give them any of your personal information, be careful and just don't give them the time of day.

If someone removes their question they may just get the answer they want and then just remove the question. Or maybe they remove it because they are getting a bunch of ridiculous answers. Or maybe Yahoo removes it because someone has reported it as an abusive question.

Possibly your question has been questioned to determine the direction it's taking or the intent behind the question.  Sometimes a question is questioned because the answer'er may doubt the inquisitor's motives. On the other hand it could be due to a variety options with which the answer'er could accurately supply an answer and they want to gain more information to appropriately answer said question.

that would be false religion, And it is still going on today! But soon God will put an end to it! http://watchtower.org

People like answers, not questions.  Answers make sense of something unstable and bring order to that instability.  If you question something, you are doing so for your own sake, but at the same time you are necessarily (though probably not intentionally) challenging someone else's sense of stability/security (since that other person would see no reason for his/her belief system to be questioned).  You're not meaning to hurt anybody else, but it's just that too many people cannot easily face a disturbance to their beliefs; they view the one who asks the question as the problem.

lol,  dude you're killing me here.  How is it that once in every few thousand years somebody can actually come up with a legitimate question?  I like that one,  I'm non-religious so I can't really answer that,  I don't pray for people anyway.   You do realize though that this question will probably be deleted?  somebody around here has gto to be offended by this...and that's only because they won't know how to answer it

They're the hollow gestures of shallow jerk-offs who are pretending to be part of something-- not because they need answers and value the time and opinions of others, or because they seek to contribute to a community of reciprocal virtue, but because they seek validation simply for existing, and they feel that posting questions, regardless of the merits of their contents, is a cheap and efficient way of letting others know they exist, and of not giving a $h!t about anyone's answers.  It's toys having their cake and eating it too.\n\nDon't worry-- they'll die lonely and unloved, delusional in the remembrance of once doing something with meaning.

They are looking for affirmation.  If someone who is a non-believer posts something that they can poke holes threw it gives them self-justification in their own beliefs.  Of course, you already knew that ;)

Sure does, your opinion is being heard.  Why else would people's questions and answers keep getting deleted? This section of y/a is becoming a mini civil rights movement. People post, others delete them because they don't like the question or answer because it doesn't agree with their thinking. It's freedom of speech trying to be strangled by a small slice of small minded people. It appears bigotry is alive and well in this section. Does deleting people's remarks really matter? Other than losing points, it won't stop me from responding to outrageous questions filled with either lies, half-truths, or completely inaccurate statements.

Yahoo intended this site to be a resource for people to ask and answer questions based upon experience. It was expected that it would add a human element that is lacking in most pat textual sources.\n\nUnfortunately, many people are treating this as a chat room and ask questions that either need no answer or do not deserve one. The only real recourse of people is the inane, sarcastic answer.

The problem, in my opinion, is the "name" of the service.  If it were named "Blog 'til ya drop" then the question of stupidness wouldn't be valid.  By naming it "Answers", then one expects some form of "intelligence".\n\nTry Google Answers.  I submit that you will be humbled by the "non-stupid" answers.  I repeat: humbled.

Nice generalisation. The sharing of true facts can never harm people, But i do have to kind of agree with you on the reason some of the questions are asked. I would hope that people use common sense and answer the more risky questions with tact and diplomacy, With knowledge comes responsibility

There is already a "Religons & Spirituality" subcategory under "Society & Culture".  Some people, unfortunately, do not post their questions in the right category.

Apparently so. I have never understood the attraction of putting meaningless answers just to get points. When I answer it has to have a point, such as to help someone, or because their question is interesting.
