NWT Revisions
by Jeffro in

there is mention on a wikipedia article that there was a 2006 revision of the nwt.

is this true?

what differences are there?
Simon

Are the confusing revision and edition (or printing)? If they changed the packaging / binding / layout, it doesn't mean they change the text.

Shadow banned? lol
Yeah, they're not sending their brightest ...

How would coming to this site, where that conversation didn't happen, accomplish that? Sorry, but calling "bullshit" on this too. Causing trouble was precisely the intention from the start.
This is a glorious unintentional-own. One of their supporters joins in, but oh dear, gets the "who said what" part the wrong way round. I guess not really a supporter? But spot on with "do you have some fetish for being hated / why can't you be decent" observation:
This is why I know these people aren't really sincere. They are simply out to disrupt. No one should empower them by pandering to their demands.

I suppose I just wanted to say I wish it didn't reflect on the whole community, such as it is.
Don't worry, I don't see it as the same group at all and I can imagine it's annoying to have them effectively elbow everyone out of the way and "grab the mic". IMO they don't represent anyone but their own warped ideology which is obviously political and very aligned with BLM and Antifa. Some people just want to watch the world burn it seems.

I just want to thank Simon for taking care of us all. We aren’t all cute and cuddly like a litter of puppies.
It's OK, my Twitter feed is mostly cute puppies at this point so I just hug my monitor. I appreciate the sentiment & support.
Aw, looks like I missed the action.
I'm sure like most long-running soap operas, Lloyds drama is never going to be truly over. This will rumble on for 3 years and then likely explode. Trust me.
Lloyd Evans is tumbling down to a hard-core of followers who share his lack of ethics and worse, his lack of morals. He is becoming irrelevant. Good. Sometimes idiots do get what they deserve.
I think it would be beneficial for the community. We need to shift to focus on getting rid of people. I don't mean like the Sopranos, but not having people become dependent. Everyone should move on, at least emotionally and identity wise - don't spend your life as an exJW and allow it to be your identity (but of course, stick around to help those who follow in your footsteps).

Let's not allow some eedjit to disrupt this topic with their nonsense. I've deleted them.
Reminder: I really don't give a flying fuck about who or what you imagine you are. You can think you're a golden unicorn with rainbows shooting out your bum for all I care. Unless it has some relevance to the topic being discussed, then it's off-topic and disruptive and interferes with other people's ability to have a discussion.
Please refer to the community guidelines and posting rules. If you come here clearly intending to be disruptive, don't be surprised if you're shown the door.

Really cool to see that the only qualification to "Being an adult" just means being hateful and ignorant of things you dont understand.
There's not much to understand. You want to be disruptive and impose your ideology on others.
I suggest you find a forum more suited to whatever it is you're looking for.

Here I thought this was a place where I could get some basic human decency and respect for how I identify!
How does what you "identify" as in any way relevant to this topic and this forum? You can be whoever you want to be, just don't demand that we all have to go along with whatever that is. Have some basic human decency and respect for other people.
Its good to know that is in fact an unsafe place for those in the LGBTQ community at large, which I mean I knew creating my account.
How exactly is it unsafe? What has that word salad got to do with anything?
You "knew" it when creating your account because you intended to make it an issue. Pretty transparent.
But I'd rather be a thorn in everyone side and just "Wokeify" the site you know.
But you won't be a thorn in our side or "wokeify" the site as we don't tolerate that cancerous intolerance here.
You know where you stand and what the score is. You can take part in the discussions like everyone else, who don't feel the need to describe themselves in terms of their genitalia or sexual preferences, as they rarely have any relevance to any discussion whatsoever. Or you can piss off.

Please take that "transphobe / misgender" cancer elsewhere. We don't need that bullshit on this site thank you.

No sooner than we get done with one clown it seem someone else wants to take their place.
People are free to do what they want, but look closely. Check if they really have toxic opinions and bullying behavior of their own.
Don't simply rejoice that someone you don't like has been replaced.
Personally, I don't think any of these hours long analysis videos are necessary or helpful to anyone. Stop wallowing in the WTS. It's not healthy for you or your audience. it's not like anything much really changes anyway ... make a video if something actually changes, if there is actually some news to report.
LET GO AND MOVE ON!
