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
Many of my friends are either doomers are apathetic. I am trying to remain positive and avoid both camps, but it's hard. I never want to become a doomfag, nor do I want to ever stop caring. It's why I appreciate this forum. Sure, I get tired of people prattling on about some tranny faggot who supposedly appeared on a beer can that only exists in a picture and nobody's actually seen it in-person. It seems that is what people would rather focus on rather than on what is important. Sad to see many memes about this crap posted on here too, but oh well.
I don't post a lot on here and mostly lurk. I've shared the heartache I've had for friends who have abandoned their walk with God. Over the weekend I think I learned from a bit of investigating that a Christian girl I once briefly dated in college has likely become a lesbian. She is the one who taught me the importance of daily prayer. She even admitted to me that she was dysfunctional, after I found out she had a boyfriend she tried to keep a secret from me. She loved me, but I was her backup plan. Apparently she had been divorced once or twice and is now "married" to some woman. It's so sad to see these once precious, Christian girls, including my dear cousins (one of which is now a lesbian) allow their broken sexuality to completely wreck their souls.
This "Great Awakening" cannot come sooner. My soul mourns for these friends of mine, lost to perversion, alcoholism, and such. I rededicated myself to Christ back in November and it seems that every day since then, I've just cried over my wayward friends and family. It felt easier to not care, but I've made a stand to become a stronger Christian and to dedicate myself to prayer.
People forget that Jesus was a man of tears.
You are in good company.
Stay strong no matter how bad it gets. When these people start waking up to reality they will need God more than ever. We will be the ones giving directions to them. I get more excited every day, and I feel the shift that is taking place. People are scared.
Keep praying for their awakening and return to Christ, fren! If one of the founders of the satanic church in New Zealand can have a vision, repent, convert, and start preaching the Gospel, anyone can come back.
I pray for God to stir them in their sleep, reminding them of the worship songs they once sang in church, of their zeal they had for God back then. Going on nearly 3 decades now... it's unbelievable. I pray for God to break them and humble them, to speak to their hearts, for intervention in their lives.
We join you in these prayers. We still have family members who have lost their ways and are living in defiant sin, with aching hearts we pray they will come back.
I cry for these friends of mine on a daily basis, especially for the girl I could have married but did not. I am told that this means that I am not leaving it in God's hands. I do not know what that entails. Christ said "Blessed are those who mourn." If I just pray once and forget about them, is that leaving it in God's hands, or being lazy? Because that is how I used to be, until last November when I decided to get closer to God.
Amen. It's astounding how far the perversion has integrated itself into society. I've met, in person, 2 transgender guys in the last year, and a female acquaintance is planning a lesbian marriage this summer. May God come quickly.
Stay in prayer, be grateful and know you are not alone. ❤️
