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.

-
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

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
Finally watching the passion of the Christ. I can't see how anyone would not be moved.
Was thinking of watching again. Just wasn't feeling upto it for the emotional rollercoaster. Very moving. There have been some recent scientific discoveries about the Shroud of Turin which makes me think that the reality was much worse than what was depicted.
What stood out for me other than the obvious agony was the complexity of the supporting characters. The apostles and the Pilate's. Or the over the top cruelty of the soldiers, pharisees and commoners.
Does anyone have any guesses who “W.H.grampa” at TS might be? It’s spelled with an “m.”
He or she is leaving cryptic messages about going to Europe.. seems like an important mission. I’ve been through many of the comments and idk. Thoughts?

Well, according to this Infowars article, an archaeologist claims that he has found Sodom and Gommorah as he has excavated cities that were rained down upon by sulfur.

I watched a video on YouTube years ago that was supposed to be Sodum & Gommarah. It had a fence around it to keep people out. I'll try to find it. Not sure if it was the actual place but was interesting.
No action yet on the BLM protest in circleville ..tons of cops sheriff's state boys..seems calm so far
Apparently only a couple hundred showed up..peaceful but loud
Closer to the evening if I had to guess. Evil doesn’t like to operate in sunlight. Or perhaps the DS has been sufficiently defanged to not want to transport their antifa thugs over state lines like they usually do (since there aren’t enough innately violent individuals in the cities they choose to stoke unrest in)? Thanks for keeping us posted, anon.
They are expecting 26 bus loads
And you know what that will do? Provide the WH with more information on the individuals and organizations that are funding the attempted Marxist takeover of America. Someone paid the bus companies for their services. People organized the rent-a-ruffian/transport-a-thug crowd in their cities of origin, money was exchanged, communication transpired between puppet masters and minions, etc. Swamp dredging is messy business.
They are probably at the local buffets🤣 In my area the buffets like Golden Corral had to set time limits on "all you can eat". I've heard it's really bad on Sunday afternoon after church. I don't eat buffet but I know they changed hours closing in middle of day.
This may sound dumb to some people, but since Sinead died, I have been in a depression. I was not a fan, so to speak, but she resonated with me regarding her abuse as a child. I too was raised by a mentally ill Irish Catholic mother, and when Sinead O connor went to expose that abuse, by strict and crazy mothers, I connected with her. Reading about her death and watching old interviews, I guess "triggered" all those memories, the beatings, the put downs, the unloving, and then the suicide that was set up so I would be the one to find her dead, at the age of 15. Prayer and faith has always kept me strong, but this one is a tough one. I managed to have a good and simple life, with no help from anyone, I was never in a psych hospital, but worked in them, I was strong. How she managed the world of and stress of performance, I guess saved her for a time. I used helping others to keep me going. But man, I recognize what depression is, and with all the memories coming back, and wanting to fight for children who suffer even worse, is just taking me down to a very very sad place. I thought I was able to forgive my Mom, to understand her craziness was not her fault, she herself was abused by her step father, but I am so very sad. I guess I see women who have survived abuse, who spoke truth to power about it, as inspiring, as "my sisters", but it ended her, there was a straw that broke the camels back, her son's death. I need a retreat or something, to pray ceaselessly. I need the love of Christ more than ever, me, an older woman, mourning a child (me) who never once heard the words I love you from her mother. I ask for prayers to help me get out of this hole. I dont even know why I am sharing this, but I know this is a powerful Christian forum, and I do not ask for personal prayers, but for heartfelt prayers for the children, all of them. We were just little innocent children, who needed to be loved by their mother, why God?
I’m sorry, fren. Praying for you. I wasn’t a fan of SO’s music but just reading about her history and losing a son to suicide. I can’t imagine that sort of pain.
You ask for prayers to help get you out of this hole. I’ll certainly try to do that. I can pray for you to have comfort and relief from pain. I’ve abandoned the physical church (also Catholic) but one thing I won’t abandon is my faith. Prayers going out to you and remember, you’re not alone.
I know why you're sharing, and I thank you so much for doing so. Not dumb at all; it's perfectly legitimate to be shook by the passing of a figure who is important to you - especially one who resonated because of the subjects you shared.
I feel you and love you sister. You are in my prayers. I'm very grateful that you wrote this post. WWG1WGA 🙏
I recently found this little five minute video. It’s a song called My Beloved.
Listen to this every day. It will calm you, and remind you how much Jesus loves you. Let me know what you think.

Its the same with Dolores from Cranberries, who died a couple years ago from "accidental drowning". I see a pattern, not sure yet what is going on.

I realised the meat I unfroze for my stuffed peppers was a rosbeef so I cooked it and my wife prepared the peppers to be served as antipasti (cooked, then peeled, then in olive oil).
Here’s a pic of my roastbeef:
https://files.catbox.moe/5wqbvx.jpeg
I served it with a sauce I cooked with minced shallots, garlic, salty butter, honey (just enough to taste divine but not enough to unketo the plate), pepper and the juice of the cooked meat.😋
Looks good!
OMG....THAT LOOKS ABSOLUTELY SCRUMPTIOUS...WOWZA...and thank you for doing this...I love to cook and love shallots, garlic and the rest of the ingredients...peppers in Olive Oil...OUTSTANDING to you both!!!
There are a few keto recipes on my YouTube channel: Keto Kooking Korner https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUQrR-3mbDRAeHR8kzzte-w3pMkWQUADn
Thank you and I have it up on my browser...Butter Cookies...Ellll YUUUUMMMO!!!
I see RFK Jr. has been denied Secret Service protection by Biden administration. Perhaps he could have Biden's detail. Even lone nuts know that it would be a waste of a good bullet.
Things are getting bad fast. I'm almost thinking we should be on the lookout for the arrival of the anti-christ at any moment. Because i am losing a lot of hope that anyone can solve this but Christ. But thankfully i still have hope there. I still have a slim bit of hope that this can be turned around by a great awakening, but that is running down fast, and it's entering the grey zone before it becomes "going to have to see it to believe it".
It's amazing how fake people are in their own little worlds nowadays, trying to get everyone to act like their bullshit ideas are some kind of epiphany that everyone should do and follow. Fake, wannabe leaders, still following the old way, thinking being arrogant and blind is how you lead. Some are truly deeply lost. Some people are deeply in despair because of these idiots, but too afraid to speak out against them so just follow them to follow the crowd.
I feel sad for the deluded. I'm happy i found you crazy anons. Y'all are my kinda crazy, the good crazy. I'm still alive but if i die, man, you anons have been the best crazy i ever hung out with! Keep being that kind of crazy you crazy bastard anons
I've been feeling this way a lot lately, especially the Christ part. We have reached a point where being asleep is a willful rejection of reality for most.
I'm strengthened by God, and He puts me "randomly" in the paths of many of these folks on a daily basis. I talk to them about a lot of these issues, and most are aware and struggling with them. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, most still seem to seek solace in the fabricated reality of their social media spheres and consumer media distractions. It's getting pretty grim for a lot of people. It's very sad.
There's only one answer really, The Great Awakening. What a tremendous undertaking Q, and we, have had to endure.
WWG1WGA . Christ is King.
Happy, and honored, to be here with you my fren.
Diversity (of crazy) is our strength.
I will carry the crazy torch as far as I can! I’m all in.
You and me both, hopefully some younger anons can back us up if we both go down LOLZ
I think women like that would be better off just being a 'butch' lesbian.
Was just thinking yesterday how I have never seen one of these in the wild, and I'm in public almost all day, everyday. What a blessing.
Horribly sad for those who are so misguided and lost.
Thing is, most of them are so easily recognzed as a tranny, nowhere in hell have they acheived womanhood or manhood, they have achieved trannyhood, and that is all. After a contract meeting I had at the agency I work with, I drove through Montpelier, now that the floodwaters have gone, to take a gander. There was something crossing the road, now, I am usually soft hearted, I try to see everything and everyone without judging. This person had so much weight to carry, they were wearing mini shorts up the butt of their crack, and a halter top, carrying a tiny purse, with obvious make up on a mans face. Exposing their arse and stomach, crossing the street. It was repulsive, nothing else. I told myself it was some sort of mental illness and to try and have compassion, but I had none. No way this person did not know they were dressed inappropritley, no way. Show business has some, and they have the money and plastic surgery and some of the trans to female are very very attractive looking, enough to model, because they have the money too. But whatever I saw in town.....I worked for group homes for the mentally ill for years, right in that town I was in, and if any staff let one of the residents walk out the door like that , they would have been spoken to, and if needed, a screener would have been called to the residence to prevent that person from traipsing around. When I got home I just walked around my garden looking at flowers to wash the eyestain out.
Yeah, the visual appearance is shocking. Add the gratuitous "I'm here to shock you" clothes, and it can cause instinctive revulsion even if you want to be polite.
Yep. I went to Walgreens the other day and an employee I encountered confused me and caused a severe case of heebie jeebies (and that takes a lot with me.) Black dude, dressed in fairly normal men’s clothes (black pants and button down shirt,) full beard, average hair and... fake huge eyelashes, bright purple lipstick, blue eyeshadow, bright blush, flashy earrings. Super effeminate sounding voice and extremely nice to me. I just.. idk how to deal with it. I was polite, didn’t show any kind of reaction. I usually know when someone is trying deliberately to shock me and so I play their game to see how long it will last. Anyway, got the eff out of there as quick as possible.
I think it was in the words of comedian John Mulaney who I USED to like who said “is this what they think women look like? Bold and Brassy?”
What was the point though? Does that make me want to go back to that Walgreens? Hellllll to the heck no. Probably never again. What’s their motive, besides offending the average straight man, woman and child? Why is their interpretation of the opposite sex so cartoonishly badly exaggerated? Ugh.
I'm adding that to my vocabulary. So much more meaningful than "repulsed"!
I’m happy to hear it was a success. Finally somebody got out of the matrix. Yay.
What a strange journey. I knew a married couple where the guy, apparently on his deathbed with cancer, confessed to wanting to be a woman. Wife says ok. Went ahead and did the full surgery and all, and then became cancer-free. Last contact was years ago, but they stayed married. Weird.
Ugh 😣

Thank you!
I know 😔
We just keep praying that my daughter won’t do that to herself. She was raised Christian, but she went to college, and she got brainwashed. It is very sad indeed when you see it in person, I just hope it doesn’t happen to her.
Yes - I greatly dislike those memes. It grieves my heart so 😔
