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
Proverbs 20:9
9 No one can say, "I am innocent; I have never done anything wrong."
Keep finding peace in Christ. All things work for his glory. He is in charge. It's easy to get emotionally caught up in things and get upset. Christ is our rock though. Someday he will return and the world will be healed. Let his kingdom come his will be done. Hallelujah. We love you Jesus
First of all… I had to delete my comment, because it turns out the story about that church getting burned down is not true. I just posted a reply to the original comment. I guess the 24 to 48 hour rule should apply.
In addition, regarding Israel, I have a little bit more skin in the game.
I know you know this - because we’re friends not only on this platform, but in real life. My trip to Israel was supposed to be in November, and I am 95% sure it’s going to be canceled.
To be perfectly honest, I was super stressed out the first two days, but that’s because we hear the news before everybody else, and I was upset about a bunch of stuff that nobody even knew about. 😂🤣😂🤣
After finally, calming down, and putting my trust in the Lord, I’m willing to accept whatever occurs. To be perfectly honest, even if the church decides to go, I’m not sure I want to. I’m going to wait until the end of October to see if this thing calms down, maybe… Just maybe I’ll go, but I am still thinking it’s a bad idea.
Could use your prayers would greatly appreciate them. I hope all is well with you and yours! Miss you!
Yes 24-48 hour rule most definitely should apply. I would actually extend that to double now since things are so heated and so much Info is coming out.
Yes absolutely I will pray for you. Keep me updated if u end up going. Love you sis. God bless
I think you’re right it should be 72+ hours now. 😂🤣
Lol yeah it's tough to discern stuff. It's frustrating seeing everyone get so emotionally tied to things within hours of info coming out because it almost always ends up being a completely different story. I actually just brought this fact up to my church. Waiting to see how they respond.
