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
I have a prayer request. I am going to make a speech on September 12 at a government meeting calling out corruption. I will be attending online, and they've disconnected me in the past when they realized I was about to say things that would be embarrassing to them. Please pray that they let me make the whole speech, that I speak clearly and confidently, and that the people who hear the speech are moved to action.
As I lifted prayers for you, the words, "in writing" came to mind, and I thought of Jesus using his finger to write something in the dirt when asked about the woman about to be stoned. We don't know what he wrote, but God does. The response Jesus gave that time saved a life. He still is.
Thank you!
Could we get a transcript? Or at least a summary?
It's long and complicated, but I have caught California's income tax agency running multiple schemes to overcharge lawful taxpayers. The schemes are orchestrated at the top, and most of the grunts know their piece of the system is messed up, but the grunts are not aware that they are a cog in a bigger scheme. My prayer has been to get the grunts to realize what is happening and that they refuse to comply with unethical and unlawful behavior anymore.
Anyway, I just found out that many of the people perpetrating the schemes never signed oaths to uphold the laws of the federal and state constitutions. I want to get all their names spoken at this meeting so that the grunts are aware of the character of their leadership. I will also demand that every decision made by those without oaths be voided due to lack of standing to make decisions since they were falsely posing as government agents.
Edit to add a link explaining the schemes: https://gwsandiego.net/blog/?p=611
Prayers sent.
Thank you.
