What is this thread all about?
Just a place for general discussion. A place to unload whats on your mind and talk about anything - personal, health, help needed, achievements, daily highs and daily lows, theories, predictions and what have you.
Does not need to be Q related.
I heard there was lightening strike near the Oval Office yesterday... a warning shot from God?
Wow, I hadn't heard anyone was hurt.
Lightning, not lightening. Lightening is dyeing your hair.
I am really tired of this interpretation - it's ALL OVER the place. 3 people died, 1 in bad shape.
If that's your "God" you are faggots for worshiping such a dickhead. I'm totally serious here, no God would take the innocent like that as a damn warning. Nauseating.
Look at the dead retired couple FFS.

God is Good so He doesn’t do bad things like strike people down with lightning to make a point. He’s not zeus. I agree with what you’re saying and I don’t like the cliche “act of God” for unfortunate natural phenomena. I’m guessing some of the people commenting on the lightning are just kidding.
No, there were many posts specifically saying it's a sign from God that lightning struck so close to the WH. I thought "well maybe they don't know people died yet" but that info was already available. I'm not saying they stopped to check and likely didn't know - this is probably why that crap died down - but it was still irritating as all fuck to see people jump on that bandwagon with NONE of them hitting the damn pause button - I mean search results were "lightning struck people" not "there was a random lightning strike" which if you think about it for about 1.5s or less would not be a news story in the first place.
Yeah, some of the jackasses were probably sincere, which sucks
I didn't know anyone was hurt
Yeah, there was initially a flurry of posts on TS all like "it's GOD etc etc" yet this morning the tune is changed and they are making fun of headlines blaming the lightning on climate change.
It's a really sad and embarrassing episode all around in my view.
I do agree with you that I think it is sad when people are dying from lightning strikes, that there’s any celebration at all whatsoever. Their families connected with those people, and they are grieving today.
I don’t think it has anything to do with climate change, or God, or whatever reason people are coming up with. It’s called life. We all live, and we will all die. Some people die in different ways. Some people have been struck by lightning before and lived.
From one short article that I looked at, it was a husband and wife that were visiting Washington DC on vacation. Can you imagine waking up to a phone call from the hospital finding out that your parents are dead, from just going on vacation? How sad is that?
And then what makes it even more sad, is all the stupid MSM Talking Heads making up stories about your parents passing, blaming it on climate change.
I just hope and pray that those people will be able to deal with their loss. I will be praying for them.
I didn't see any of that, I got text from my aunt saying lightening hit the Oval Office.
Which I thought was weird, why not say the White House. I was more inclined to not believe it even happened.
I agree. Sometimes things just happen because of the world we live in and the way nature works, not because God causes it. Sometimes people just die (what we are remembering after losing a loved one last year).
You might also remember who is the "Prince of the Power of the Air."
However we trust that God's heart is good and kind.
"And we know [with great confidence] that God [who is deeply concerned about us] causes all things to work together [as a plan] for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His plan and purpose." Romans 8:28 AMP https://bible.com/bible/1588/rom.8.28.AMP
I agree it is pretty lame to ascribe every bad event to God punishing us. Think of it this way: God allows Satan to tempt us. He gives him some leeway and allows different actions, which He intends to bring us closer to Him. People in trouble usually call out to God for help. He is getting your attention, since you are ignoring him. That's ignorance. But, when bad things happen to good people, the good or should I say, godly people accept it as God's will. I like to think of these things as tests. If we react by shaking our fist at God, we have failed the test. If we accept it, we have an opportunity for spiritual growth, through drawing closer to God. The development of the virtues is the path to holiness for humans.
Fine but let's look at this in simple terms. If God was going to fire a "warning shot" at DC - like there's not 1000s of lightning strikes there annually - "His will" included taking out an elderly retired couple? Across from the White House? Couldn't just hit THE WHITE HOUSE? He's fucking God, right, not a damn Storm Trooper. Right?
storms coming you say?
