Yeah, so if one month was capitalized and the others not, that would indicate someone edited something. But the fact that they are all lowercase suggest it's just the quirky way that software formatted dates.

what do you think about the time stamp? Someone said it was missing a zero on the 24 hour clock and that also days of the week weren't capitalised? Is that an issue please?
All the date formatting appears to be consistent AFAICT. Again, if one was different to the others then it could indicate some fakery, but I don't see it. I don't see a day of the week anywhere (was it the month name?) and the fact that 24 hour times don't have a leading zero is meaningless, it says more about people in the software industry not knowing how to format dates (seriously, you could be a full-time "date-time consultant" and do nothing else).
That sounds more like someone determined to come up with some reason to claim them as fake than a legitimate discrepancy being found.

"Somebody" needs to do "Something!"
by Terry init's always unjustifiable for a country to attack another country without having first been attacked itself.. the nuremberg trials at the end of wwii made this clear.. more vividly too: following orders as a patriotic duty is never secondary to the pangs of your personal conscience.. .
worst of all, hypocrisy destroys credibility when you.
criticize other countries for doing what you have done.. .

The current financial system is backed by the petro-dollar. All conflict is ultimately caused by that and about that.
Wars also lead to huge profits for some, which is why those people are always keen on having them but never want to be on the front lines themselves.

Regarding that song, it was also in the purple songbook before the brown one, though I don't know the number. If I remember correctly, it had a somewhat soft cover, not the stiff board of the brown songbook.
Did it have fancy gold edges to all the pages? I seem to remember that. Kind of bizarre looking back how elaborate that songbook was.

Cappytan has made some effort to try and work out whether the claims by this Marko and some of it that was published by Kim and Mike had any basis in truth or not.
Here’s why my gut says they’re fake. There is no known user interface, prior to 2016’s Microsoft Outlook redesign, that uses a person’s initials in a circle with a thin weight font to thread either chat or email messages. Prove me wrong. The implication here is that these screenshots were supposedly taken in 2008. I find that so far to be impossible.
I can easily find references to jQuery plugins for creating user-initials as avatars in a circle from earlier, at least 2014. Even Google were using them in 2015. So they were mainstream by then and straight away "There is no known user interface, prior to 2016’s Microsoft Outlook redesign" is invalidated.
If there were developer libraries for anyone to add them, then by that point it can be deemed to be a commonly used thing. So usage and actual invention could easily be from much earlier.
The challenge is finding the specific example, and despite what some people think, the internet isn't a great place at keeping history. Even things I know and remember, major products, are sometimes difficult to locate information about. People lose data over time, servers go offline, the past is often forgotten pretty quickly online.
So I doubt you can prove them fake and this claim doesn't do it as it relies on "lack of evidence" as evidence, which is weak, I think the only way they could have proven things fake would be if they'd used a screen resolution, font or anti-aliasing that wasn't definitively invented until some time later. But they don't AFAICT and would someone going to the trouble to re-create those old things in such detail then randomly decide to throw in some "modern avatars"? Or is the reality that we don't really know about the avatars?
Lack of evidence of something only proves a lack of evidence has been found, nothing more - that lack of evidence doesn't become evidence of anything in itself one way or the other. Technical analysis might have proven them to be faked, but if it doesn't it simply means it failed to disprove them as being credible.

I doubt every ex Jw activist is flawless
True, but he's the only one I'm aware of that has admitted to raising money off sex abuse victims and then regularly visiting prostitutes over many years and who has had other far more serious allegations made about him.
The vast majority of us live far more mundane, normal, moral lives both in absolute terms and by comparison.
No one is claiming they are flawless, but let's not pretend we're all anywhere remotely close to being the same.

Peak Cancel Culture
by Simon inwe seemed to have reached peak cancel-culture.
now, we get to try to cancel the citizens of an entire country for something their government chose to do.. really, we can't allow russian individuals to compete in sports?
to live a life?.

Don't forget, they can do this to anyone. If they can do it to one political side in Canada, and all the people in Russia, they can do it to you.
Also, do they think this hurts Putin? It reinforces the view that the world is against Russia and bolsters his support if anything. Anyone remember history at all, and the world being against Germany after WWI? That worked out well ... people never become more determined, more fanatical, and fight back harder, right?
People need to wise the fuck up and stop being led by the politicians and the media who walk us into pointless conflicts for ratings and distraction purposes. The Russian people are not our enemy, and we should stop treating them like they are.

But I do favor banning them from sports.
Why? And what's the logic?
Who gets to compete and why? What is the boundary and severity of crime exactly? Are we doing regions, countries or continents? Why? Who not a city?
Who get's to decide?
Why do we punish random people for what others are doing?
It's just virtue-signally bullshittery, a way to do something without really doing anything.
"We must do something ... here, let's punch someone unrelated in the face"
Thank god we solved things.

Yeah, he's trying to gaslight people and his ultra-controlling personality shines through as always (but always with the "excuse" for what he's doing as you say).
I never knew how early he'd been pumping people for money. I think that has always been his motivation, not helping people (otherwise he wouldn't have hurt so many along the way). It will be interesting to see how long he continues if the funding tap dries up.
