Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
They hated Jesus too. These mentally unstable people are deceived, and it’s sad. I’ve had to get away from calling them morons and idiots, and go to deceived. God convicted me of it. They have given themselves over to a reprobate mind. I’m afraid many of these people will never see truth. But I’m tickled to death to see them display what’s inside their heart. Exposure can be hard to see but it has to happen. You don’t know what you’re dealing with until you see it.
Apparently I deleted my comment while you were responding. In review I thought I was being too harsh about the rabid leftists. In any case, I appreciate your well-considered comment. Some of these people I've known for over forty years and it's so bizarre to see them twisting their faces up as they spit ridiculous hate-filled venom about Trump, refusing to even listen to calm refutations of their false premises. The reaction is so severe and mostly comes from a place of fear. They've all been methodically terrorized and manipulated by FNM. They no longer even want to think for themselves, perhaps fear also of not being in "the club". I've seen plenty of FNM, wade in there periodically to observe their tactics. To me they're blatantly obvious.
You're absolutely right also that it's been crucial that we see what's happened to them, something I've been saying for a long time. WE had to be shown what we're facing within even families and friendships. I'm trying very hard to be less harsh, to separate them from their demons, but every now and then I get "cranky" and start excoriating them. Hence why I'd deleted my above comment while you were responding to it. It is sad, seeing people you love be led so far astray. I'm sad for them. Just like with our Lord, the people were fed fear and told to hate - and they obeyed the beastly minions. Never ends well.
Enjoy your weekend, anon.
I have so much love and respect for President Trump that I tend to take what people say about him personally, because it hurts my feelings. I love him because he loves the people of this country. Just like when I see Jesus movies, and how he isis treated so awful. It breaks my heart. Sometimes I think that the ones that have been so evil towards Trump will be the ones that will not be able to handle the truth when it is exposed. Out of guilt and embarrassment they may end their lives. You enjoy yours as well.
