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
You also have to keep in mind, the reason the Cabal’s not so hard after Japan, it’s because they’re not Christian. They don’t have to worry about those souls going to hell. They may have a wonderful society, and a beautiful country… But they are an island, and they have strict immigration laws, which makes a huge difference on how things turn out for a Society. You’re living in one of the nicest societies outside of America, actually… I think better than America now. But I think the percentage of Christians living in Japan is under 5%.
We all know the deep state Cabal is run by satanic pedophiles. They hate Jesus Christ, and they hate anybody who is made in his image. If you look at the map of the world right now, it’s all the Christian nations that are being attacked. Satan doesn’t want anybody to go to heaven. He’s going to take as many people with him as possible.
Also, Japan is so far advanced in technology, and there ability to use electronic payments. It’s weird because it used to be an all cash society. Women were well-known financial savers, and they would go to the banks with their brown bags and pay their mortgages in cash. Even back in 2011 after the tsunami, bags and boxes of cash were washing up on the shores.
Japanese people are very unique, and they have a very interesting society. But I think they have one of the highest suicide rate because of the pressures put on them from their parents to be best 24 seven.
There's a revival going on in Japan. Many youths are turning to Jesus because they're waking up and realizing without the holy spirit, it's empty inside. I saw youtube videos of it the other day, gotta find it again.
Yeah, I'd like to see the link to the Japanese revival too. Maybe it's because I live in a small city in the mountains, but I just don't see it. I do get to share about Jesus when appropriate and not crossing any lines. I can get away with it by framing it as a discussion on culture. Not like I am telling anybody what they ought to believe. I think the only ones who'd object are my fellow foreign teachers who are shitlibs, but they all work at different schools, so I don't interact with them much anyway.
maybe revival is not the right word but there are many Christians in Japan but they're not as obvious
