One of the great things about GAW is that I'm surrounded by sheep. I don't feel threatened by any of you. Many of you are far more adept at research than I will ever be. I find myself surrounded by autists. But you're sheep.
It's why we can spot the wolves amoung us so easily.
I'd imagine one day this server will be put in the war archives and perhaps we will all be remembered as diligent if not faulted soldiers in the information war. I hope one day we have the freedom to out ourselves and take the prize that we deserve as heros.
IMO, this isn't about us. This is about God reaching out to save His people. All the glory to God.
I agree w you in part. God orders our footsteps it's true. But we have to step forward. Glory be to Jesus Christ. God is far too broad of a term.
We have hubris and pride and believe that God doesnt want to throw us into hell. He does we deserve it. He loves us enough to provide a way out. I think its a big distinction. And large slogans like that muddy the water. Jesus alone is kings of kings.
Why would God send His only begotten son Jesus to pay for our sins if he wanted us to go to hell?
I assure you that God doesn't want you or anyone else to go to hell fren. He loves every single one of us more than we can even understand.
Hmmmm ..... the last point hits true.
I do believe salvation is simple. I think it's pride sometimes that will ultimately condemn man. The inability in this life to bend the knee to the will of Jesus.
Amen to that.
You go to hell for sinning without repenting. If you cheated then there are steps you can take to rid yourself of the sin. The steps are confessing your sin with your mouth and be truly willing to pay for it. Like the Tax collector. Jesus doesn't make the tax collector pay every cent, He forgives the true repentance. Same as the thief on the cross, the act of being truly sorry has been boiled down to a practice, almost performative. Like bull fighting encompasses the victory of man against beast, God allowed us a way to put ourselves in a position to be forgiven.
We also believe the Holy Apostolic Church is the only one with the power to forgive the sins because Jesus says so in the Bible. But there have been doctors of the church that have said that there are unseen elements of the church that may play a part in the forgiveness of some sinners.
God allows things to happen that are simply beyond our understanding of why. There is also purgatory, so I mean it's not like you will burn forever because you broke ur gf's heart. But still pretty fked up. 10 years of purgatory if you half ass repent?
Nobody deserves eternal life, and it is a free gift (grace). But we have to be in the position like the tax collector or the thief, who decided they where wrong, and He is right, we aren't better than them if we can't face our Lord like they did. They went to heaven.
We caths believe that the priest is appointed by Jesus Himself, who is God, via proxy through apostolic succession. Why God allows the communism to humiliate us like this is beyond my understanding. It is probably punishment for unfaithfulness and a call to sacrifice and prayer.
Or maybe my whole faith is wrong. I hope we all make it. As hard as it is, I'm commanded to pray even for the Satanists, that at the last moment they truly repent, which I don't know how it could be possible, but would fix this mess in one day.
He is holy. We are not. It's his will that his justice will prevail, it's his final destruction of evil that will triumph.
The heavenly hosts will be applauding when evil is extinguished.
Of course he loves us enough that's why he provided a way.
Is your "God" the same "God" in Judaism? Islam? It's the same God no? The term is blurry. It's far easier to use the word God to attain a moral high ground then it is to use Jesus Christ. The word God offends practically no body but the name of Jesus Christ offends so many people and that's why you call God by name.
Jesus is my Lord fren. Jesus is the one and only way to Father God. It's not complicated. It's wonderful.
"He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
~ 2 Peter 3:9
But not everyone will see repentance. Many of us have just enough morals to send us to hell.
Amen.
Double Amen.
Exactly this.
Oh great. So you're saying that 100 years from now, kids will be writing a book report on the crazy lady on GAW who wore out the winter vagina joke?
And I thought two more weeks was bad.... ;)
I bet the people who are calling GAW - "Conservative Reddit" are having a field day with this one. 😆
Edit: I knew what you meant, btw.
The old comparison was sheep, wolves and sheepdogs in between.
There will be Meme museums. The Kiddies will run through pointing at all the fun frogs. They might even generously employ some of the more prolific creators of Meme objects of art.
I love the “Meme Museum” concept! Will have to be Museum of Science and Industry sized to contain all the spicy memes though!
I think you’re underestimating what people do in their daily lives with the information they exchange here. Yes, here we use anonymous handles, but I think all of us know our true identity can be easily tracked, but we come to exchange our perspectives anyway.
Does that make us wolves? Maybe not. But, coming here to spend time with other people who are also trying to glean flecks of truth from mountains of deception doesn’t make us sheep. Maybe we’re more like shepherds, trading information and knowledge about the true wolves in the hopes of saving the sheep.
I only mean sheep in the sense that you're not a wolf. That's it.
Wolf Lives Matter.
😁
Thanks. I wasn’t offended really, more confused by what you were trying to say. It made me think about what our role really is. I think we are meant to shepherds and we’re being prepared to lead the sheep when they are shocked out of their sleep.
Yes, here we use anonymous handles, but I think all of us know our true identity can be easily tracked, but we come to exchange our perspectives anyway.
So perfect in the way you stated it. It's how I feel too - I decided that I refused to be afraid... I can't have the impact I want to unless I put myself out there, is what I came to. I preferred my days of lurking and being social or popular isn't a quality of mine.... but if something I share or express can help or educate or inform just one person, I'm contributing and impacting in a way that is more meaningful and lasting. Knowing and learning for yourself is one thing and positive on its own, but taking that next step to start posting was important for me. I had to make myself do it as a test, to just be me and not remain hidden because I'm too afraid to come off wrong or sound stupid or be disliked or flamed or just get confusion or total indifference as the response to my attempts to contribute. I can't be afraid to put myself out there - and I guess maybe other people or everybody has similar stuff happen too, but maybe it just bothers me worse and kept me from jumping in to participate in discussion for a long while. Then again maybe I have all that wrong and I'm just a fucking clown.
Ultimately I think if I'm going to try and hang out here and see where it all goes, and if people get something out of what I try and express, and it comes from the right place and my heart is in it which I know it is, I feel like I should try. So what if I'm a clown..even if just one person gets a good idea or another window through which to see some part of all that's going on. That's impactful and important... maybe even necessary?
I'm definitely not a researcher by any means, I shoot from the hip way too much and drone like a fridge and my writing is too emotive and personal like it was a text message... knowing all that I should probably abstain a lot more....
but if just one person sends a comment thanking you or admiring your contribution suddenly all that drops off and you feel good about yourself in a way you can't get just fact finding and lurking. It is probably the same feeling if you have people in your real life with whom you can actively share what you've learned here (I don't really, not sure if others do)
Maybe we’re more like shepherds, trading information and knowledge about the true wolves in the hopes of saving the sheep.
I think you're pulling on the right thread... and maybe what I'm describing is sort of the process of going from "sheep" to "shepherd", if you will. Once you've gleaned enough and begun to find some truth shards that fit together with others so that you piece together a whole section, just like doing a puzzle, I think innately we all have the desire to try and share that with others. Sooner or later it doesn't feel right just discovering these truths for yourself and getting better at the skills involved - making the connections and recognizing the patterns and logical thinking and so forth - and you feel like you somehow should share what you've learned. Keeping the "truth" for yourself isn't what people are supposed to do when they know it, is it?
That is maybe the most fundamental difference between us and the baddies, isn't it? We don't want to hide what we know - in fact we want to emulate Q, or Trump, or any other insider who has had enough courage and bravery to step forward and tell the truth. There are definitely consequences to doing this, no matter where you are in life, but I guess the whole point is to try and look past the fear.
I'm thinking through this as I go so sorry if it isn't coming out quite right. What I mean is that anyone telling the truth right now on here or elsewhere, basically fighting back against all the lies we've been so conditioned and programmed to believe, takes a risk. Big risks. Getting FBI knocking at the door, or put on a list. Social risks. Being ostracized by friends or even family members, losing employment, losing business relationships, income, social status. Smaller ones. Being called a nutjob, buffoon, or even just disliked or misunderstood in a realm of like minds. You won't be believed or listened to you might think. Feeling like you don't belong, or didn't say anything that matters. They use these fears as the biggest obstacle of all. "Conspiracy"
The truth is unbelievable and feels unreal at times, too. I learned so much coming here from pats.win when I think back about it. Like others, my head caved in at the sheer feeling of unreality around the whole time of the election and I could not just go back to some kind of fucked up normal where i was supposed to doubt and not believe the world was upside down anymore after it had been for months. The idea of just going back, detuning, and not continuing to dig and try and figure out WTF JUST HAPPENED was outrageous to me as others did so and told us we had to. I found no life or interest in the posts there anymore. So I jumped over here and started learning about Q, which was treated like some forbidden fruit or already disproven LARP with subversive reductive ends and no basis in reality from how it was made out there. I trusted that take on Q before but nothing was making fucking sense anymore, so I got interested and dove in. There is a big learning curve to it once you do. It must be even funnier for those of you who were already riding with GAW to see the state of affairs presently. Wow.
So anyway there's many levels to this. Even if we don't get fearful of speaking within our own circles, certainly most or all of us know the feeling, for which I think the best example is J6 and 2020 - we were pointing at burning buildings and our leaders and fellow citizens just raised an eyebrow. We screamed loud, please help, there is something wrong, they have stolen our votes and our country - and the people who we elect to be our voice clammed up and kept walking right past us, through us, like we were ghosts. It was an incredible feeling of dejection and misanthropy en masse.
I think learning to overcome that is part of the whole process of "waking up" so to speak. Part of what we have to do is to offer the information and truth we've learned to others. We're students first and then teachers (or shepherds, whatever you like). If we are going to stop the wolves we mustn't be afraid to speak up, use our voices and keep using them no matter how harsh a reaction we face for doing so. When no one listens it is even more important to keep going! That is the worst time to stop in fact, when its darkest, right before the sunlight comes.
It is all, collectively, working and doing damage to them, bringing us closer to the goal. I read a stickied post the other day - my crude interpretation of it: ::At the bar this evening::
::Big laugh all around::
Word of mouth has taken this info far and wide and moments like that reassure me that it really does matter and is worth our time to keep learning and talking about. We're doing important work to make this common knowledge until it's almost passe instead of 'verboten' like they need it to be to keep power and control. We've all found out, whether you believe it all or not - and its destroying them. The writing is on the wall, we must remember that when we are discouraged. (talking to myself mostly)
Hope this made sense, I tried to make it sound like more than a morass of bullshit.
A Band of Frogs. 🐸🙏🇺🇸
Let's gooooo 👊
Not looking for recognition. It's every American's moral duty to protect and preserve what so many before us sacrificed their very lives to uphold.
Beyond that, when confronted with evil, I walk the path of righteousness.
Nah I see Lions, Sheepherders and Sheep dogs but not sheep. The sheep dont try to learn to save the sheep they don't even know they are sheep. Nor will a sheep take on a wolf but a lion will and the sheepdog will and the sheepherder will move the flock to a safer territory. There will always be wolves but hero's I dont think so. We are servants and have been graced with the ability to see, learn, discern and communicate. I am nothing short of grateful for the sight even in the hardest days I am still grateful.
