I have recently took two poly in less than 30 days and was told I failed them both.  The first poly I failed only one question out of three.  However, I was told because I failed that one question that means I was lying about the other two but I didn't show any lying on those two.
I knew that I haven't violated any conditions of my parole.  I couldn't understand why this one question which was so broad can overshadow the the other two question which was specific to what I am on parole for.
The second poly I failed on the same broad question but I also was told I show same strong reaction this time on the other two questions which I passed on the the first poly.  Again, I knew by a shadow of doubt I have not violated any condition of my parole concerning any of the three questions.  My question than who lying?

First, my parole stipulations does not prohibit me from using the internet.   

Second, I would love to inform the audience what question I failed; however, as antipolygraph.org has informed the audience that "polygrahs operators also read the discussions on this message board". Because I am in hot-waters now because of my stand with those who have my fate in their hands to play with, I rather not post too much detail where I would be idenfitied and get in worser hot-waters because of my stand on I know that I have not committed any of the questions which I suppose to have failed.   

Last, you still didn't answer my question who is lying when I know the same questions can not give differ answers.

Sorry, but I am not going to help a sex offender on the anit-polygraph web site.  BTW I am a polygraph examiner certified in sex offender testing (PCSOT).   

If you don't have a 'no internet' clause in your parole stipulations - you should have!  My bets are you should not be on any sexually explicit web sites or chat rooms!  It would be in your  best interest to  be discussing your questions with your PO or therapist.

The only exceptions which allow paroled sex offenders to visit the internet (in every state I am aware of) are when offenders are in college and they are at the campus computer banks. Unless of course the offender is a minor, living with family who are required to password protect their computers. The restrictions are far more justified by the habitual use of pornography and sexual chat rooms by offenders who are being reconditioned to not view human beings as mere objects for pleasure----the classic trait of errant thinking, narcissistic individuals.

Underjustice,

Polygraphers are lying when they claim to be able to detect deception. Polygraph "testing" is a pseudoscientific fraud that depends on the polygrapher lying to and otherwise deceiving the person being "tested."  False positives are common, and it is not unusual or surprising that a person might "fail" different truthfully-answered questions when the procedure is repeated.

Donna, Eric, (and all polygraphers who read these forums),

The notion that those subjected to polygraph screening can be kept ignorant of the truth about polygraphy is misplaced. If polygraphy were truly a valid and robust technique for the detection of deception, it wouldn't matter what those who are subjected to it know about it, and its being discussed in a public forum should be of no concern.

If you truly had confidence in polygraphy, you should have felt no need to embarrass yourselves -- and your "profession" -- with your recent trolling campaign on these forums.

George, I polygraph sex offenders on probation / parole daily and it is not to line my pocket as one of your posters mentioned earlier.  I do it for the safety of our children.  If and that is a big IF the SO’s are being honest in therapy and in compliance with their parole stipulations they would not be here.  Everyone who lives in America has to deal with SO’s crimes; however, when sex offenders come to your website in attempts to learn how to beat the polygraph that is a whole different issue.  As stated many times over, go ahead and teach them your tricks – and if you do, you are no better.  The guilty will fail and the unfortunate fact is the honest will probably fail as well.   I thought you said you don’t help sex offenders.   

Also, you list me as a troll because I posted on this forum under an alias….as does at least 98% of your population.  Plus you encourage everyone on AP to remain anonymous.  So, George, get off the high horse and stop calling me names (remember sticks and stones….)   How many people have you contacted to make comments on the Myth Buster show forum of ‘Beat the Polygraph’?  BTW, you forgot to list BUSTED behind that one.  I saw your name and Rhoades (apparently co-founder of AP that changed his listing to AKY_888)…a polygraph examiner and a bunch of alias making posts.  Are they trolls?  The examiner on Myth Busters (regardless of his ‘honorable’ Ph.D status) caught the deceptive and called the truthful as such – even with countermeasures!   3 out of 3 isn’t bad AND it was better than the MRI portion.

Studies have been listed on this site that when an innocent individual uses countermeasures it increases their chance of being called deceptive.   

Am I afraid of you? No. 

Am I embarrassed for posting here? Hell no. 

Am I irritated at your site? You bet.  Especially when you increase the chances of anyone’s failure (pre-employments and sex offenders) and you assist sexual predators who are trying to manipulate the system.

Is Polygraph 100% accurate? NO.  But as Eric just pointed out and others have time and time again, it is a phenomenal tool to assist the overwhelmed therapists and probation/parole officers manage high caseloads.

According to the study that you posted in support of, and that you referenced in your post,  TLBTLD does not help the guilty pass a polygraph, though it may cause truthful people to fail.  In the post quoted above you wrote, “The guilty will fail and the unfortunate fact is the honest will probably fail as well.”  

If you believe the results of the study, and you believe what you wrote yourself, how is this site helping sex offenders?  The worst George could be accused of doing, if you believe the study and your own words, is causing people to fail who have previously committed sex offenses but who now are being truthful during their polygraphs.  But that can’t be what is happening, since you also wrote, “If and that is a big IF the SO’s are being honest in therapy and in compliance with their parole stipulations they would not be here.”  It seems that sex offenders who are honest and truthful don’t wind up being polygraphed; only the liars are polygraphed, and the study you supported and your own words make it clear that liars who read TLBTLD don’t pass their polygraphs anyway.

Given all that, I’d appreciate it if you could explain exactly how this site helps sex offenders.

I believe George refers to you as a troll because you exhibited typical trolling behavior when you posted under your pseudonym “Wonder Woman.”  Trolling behavior has nothing to do with posting without using your real name.  As defined by Dictionary.com, a troll is someone who regularly posts specious arguments, flames or personal attacks to a newsgroup, discussion list, or in email for no other purpose than to annoy someone or disrupt a discussion. Trolls are recognizable by the fact that the have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand - they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, "Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll."
I think any objective review of your behavior and that of your “peanut gallery” comrades would label your behavior as trolling.

Eric has also pointed out that he doesn’t know of a single polygraph examiner that would bet his or her mortgage on the accuracy of a polygraph test.  It is difficult to read a non-endorsement like that and not come to the conclusion that examiners will tout the accuracy of the polygraph when it is of no personal consequence, but back off when the outcome of their supposedly highly accurate exam might have serious personal consequences for themselves or their family.

Your best day Mr. Maschke, sex offenders agree with you regarding polygraph being unfair.  Indeed a proud day for you.
