Mods (& community), I don’t think you know the train you have started. This community has become a beautiful place, where people are free to espouse ideas, and even when emotions flare over different topics, the discussion keeps going on.
You may ask why I even mention this.
This website has become more than a Q research site, it has become a beacon of hope for those wallowing in the sorrows around us, reaching out for a breath of hope. People need hope, it is why God is being sought out in these days, when things are difficult. This research board has shifted to a supporting community for that hope. Trying to understand the world around us, our place in it, and what we can do to effect change. The Bible calls us sheep, and sheep we are. We need a place where we can have a renewed trust in what people are telling us. We have been deceived so much by so many. I’m not advocating for new news programs that align with right wing beliefs, but no one person can spend infinite amounts of time on every subject, so we need a place we can trust. This place has become that place. It’s like home, for many of us here, on the internet.
When I first started "peeking in the door" to see what I could find out about what was going on, it was more of an aggressive and "hard nosed" site. Matter of fact, I think my first comment I ever made on here, I had posted something from a telegram account and I was vilified because I was told that that app was BS and I must be a.... I don't even remember what they called me, but it wasn't nice. So, I immediately deleted my comment and felt horrible. However, I did still come back and read and try keep myself educated. I slowly got "the fever" to really dig in and investigate everything. Then before I even realized it, I was plowing through the interwebs, articles, files, newspapers, documents, and anything I could to find for answers, and to know the truth. I also have "witnessed" this site morph. It really has become a place to share truths, extend a hand, provide a shoulder, lift people up, educate, and help everyone move toward "The Great Awakening". This actually means two things to me. First, I am awakening to the years of our government and those with vast wealth and power manipulating and twisting our world. Secondly, I think it is aptly named the "Great Awakening", because it has been a place that so many are now having their faith in God renewed and awakened. It is building a community that is becoming strong and close. The crazier the world becomes, the stronger this community becomes, and grows. We may disagree at times, but that helps us dig deeper and make each other stronger. The newer ones who come here can test our patience, but, we are really here for them in a way. The more we reach out and help the stronger and bigger we become. I know that in some of my darker days, I find strength and encouragement here. I know that I am not alone and that we all have "bad" days. "They" want us scattered and broken, but we can't let that happen. We are men and women who put on the "Armour of God" everyday. Strength in numbers.
Hell, I didn't even do that. After weeks of reading the comments in the "We're Not Gonna Take It" Yucktube video, someone commented about this site.
I walked in like I owned the place, and felt accepted immediately. A week or two later, I started seeing these "handshake" slams, and I couldn't figure out what they were talking about. I still don't know if I had a handshake or not. But if I did, I never even noticed it before it went away.
Well said.
