I've been on this board for 2 plus years and began lurking on it shortly after the Donald subreddit was purged from reddit. I've never once felt the need to approach mods or the admins. Ive watched entire accounts disappear after arguing with me. So I think there's valid reasons to suggest that the mods n admins know what they're doing.
If my government has the power to shut down bank accounts it most certainly has the power to shut down the .wins right?
Right?!
So why haven't they?
Space Force. That's my best guess.
But I've noticed as our numbers continue to grow that new members have a tendency to ..... speak as though they know something. Like approaching a mod or admin believing you are the gatekeeper of truth. There's is this sublime pride that permeates this board. As though having foresight of the upcoming events somehow makes us the new arbiters of ethics and virtue.
This isn't a place to declare your religious affiliations or allegiance to Jesus Christ. What it seems like is a whole lot of praying in public so that you are seen. Getting your dopamine hit on the back of Jesus' name. We ought to condemn it and i do. Go into your closet and pray.
Yes there are religious overtones echoed in the Q vocabulary and if someone seeks you out to learn about Jesus well by all means lead them to the Lord. But it's cringe and everyone knows it. It dilutes Christ or rather in my eyes it does. There are volumes to be filled with stories of what Christ has done for me and so many others. I just think we overdue it here sometimes.
My heart breaks for what's to come. Great Shame. The humility of man. All this must come first before people will ever seek righteousness in Jesus. The mass destruction of pride is upon us.
If you don't have answers for why the cabal does what they do, If you don't know why, If you have not sat in the low squalor of shame you will have no idea how to lead people out of this garbage. Let's start from the place of common ground. That common ground says that you nor I have any real understanding of anything, at any given time, ever.
The great awakening is about leading people out of the garbage and Christ has to be in our words and actions to lead them there. But you cheapen his mighty and great work when you use social media clout for dopamine and every atheist and fence sitter sees it. That's why I don't upvote them. I don't even read them. Not bc they're not true but bc I read from the well that is the Bible everyday and so should you; thats your dopamine.
Are you a MemeLord or adding to the body of knowledge here or speculating or asking questions? Those are the only people that are here with true intentions. What has Q proven? Adding to the body of knowledge What does it mean? Q speculation I need to learn more. Asking questions.
If you're not one of these 4 types you ought to not be commenting here. Just so we can cut through the clutter. MemeLords are always welcome.
If this were an accounting subreddit we wouldn't tolerate religious spam would we? No matter how .... bang on the wisdom is. It's not appropriate given the subject matter.
It's about self regulation. So pretty please stop up voting religious diatribes please bc its not the mods n admins job, it's our job to self regulate. I simply never up vote them or comment or engage. Nor should you. If you feel compelled by Jesus to view GAW new posts for prayer requests by all means do that.
I've been ostracized for 20+ years for what I have the courage to say out loud. I'm distrustful of people. I'm resentful and for good reason. I don't need friends in my life and i certainly dont need them here. I don't need friends in my life; my friends need Jesus in theirs. So just bc you have 45 posts about Jesus, it doesn't mean anything to me ..... and anyone with real knowledge and wisdom knows that.
We are not reddit please stop pretending we are a giant hippy community of likeminded Christians. I probably wouldn't like or trust 90% of you if I met you but that's on me. Too many retarded faggots are doomfagging and datefagging when they should just be lurking and learning instead of thinking they have something to add when they don't.
Your success in this world today has little to no merit post great awakening.
I feel like the fag at the communist convention a few years back - point of order - "would everyone please stop using gendered language"
I love all you fags just please stfu.
Good rant post. My favorite part is where you say none of us know shit. I was thinking likewise this morning going out the door, i have no idea what thr fuck to do to improve my situation. i feel like Shultz from Hogans Heros- "i know nothing!!". We all retarded. God bless you in The Name of Jesus Christ and have a great day!!😊🙏
i'd rather be cringe in the name of the Lord than.... whatever all this is.
If you apologize for the truth, you will suffer.
The cringe is what makes ppl not take you seriously.
if people cringe at the mention of Jesus, that is entirely their own issue. Obviously people who hate truth will hate GAW. that's okay.... they're allowed...
Jesus doesn't sling dopamine
exactly... so why would we shrink from telling the truth?
Because you're anonymous. You are deceitful by default. Lol
You know nothing.
You could tell me you've written 17 books and have a PhD. At best youd still only know about 5% of any given subject.
so we should all pack up and go home and never share information anonymously? should we have to verify our ID on GAW?
keep making noise fren
Your Bible verse isn't moving the conversation forward. It's distracting.
How do you know that? you don't.
Read the part again where I say that none of us no nothing. Ever.
You don't even know that you don't know.
I'm proud about my faith but I share it when necessary. People don't get it and I'm not explaining myself.
Figure it out bud.
You must be one of those special Christians that has great wisdom and understanding far beyond what God has given us other lowly Christians. Wow am I ever impressed. Nothing cringe or dopaminey about your rant and replies. Pure sweet Jesus comes right out of your keyboard and tells us what to do with our faith and our words, and when to do it.
Amazing.
The master is coming.
Religious overtones are thematic and should always point to Jesus. He is the story to which all other stories point towards.
I don't require your approval for my assessment of modern Christianity. I live in the gutter. All I see is degeneracy.
Perhaps you are right. Perhaps I have been bestowed with great wisdom. Thank you for the compliment or was that laced in sarcasm?
But you don't know what I do know, if you did you know you can you tell me what it is I don't know? You seem very secure in your ignorance, you must know something we don't to be so confident of being a know nothing. What is it you don't know, maybe if you asked people you might come to know what this is?
I was going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you knew something so I looked at your history. You don't know much.
It's not ignorance to know that nothing seems to be true. No history can be trusted.
Don't play word games with me. Spelling spells cast spells. You play with words so casually as if they are powerless.
There is no wisdom in Sodom. There is no knowledge with the people of Gomorrah.
Its nice to see you explaining yourself when you said you wouldn't. You tell me I am ignorant and then say ignorance is not ignorance if it isn't. Inconsistency personified, as demonstrated by your last sentence: "I love all you fags just please stfu"
That isn't love, its just another mixed message. Who is playing word games?
Which love do speak of?
Storge ? Agape ? Pateo ? Eros ?
There's probably Mormons and 7th day and who knows what kind of theology is being taught around here. I'm just gonna accept your umbrella term of Christianity? No ofc not. So stop pretending like we worship the same God. We might. But idk.
I'm willing to be wrong. But I'm not posting things like this for fucking clout and upvotes.
Ooo, your post is going to piss off a lot of people here, but I agree 100%. "Please stop pretending we are a giant hippy community of likeminded Christians." Well said. I block those who do that incessantly & downvote the other religious spam. The air of moral superiority within the replies just proves what you're saying.
You make a very good point about boundaries and sticking to the purpose of this board. I think it is enough to bring that up from time to time, along with some of the other concerns you mentioned. It helps the honest to refocus if that is needed, and that helps to maintain the focus of the general discussion. Having said that, practicality insists we become comfortable with some level of mess. No one who is irritated over some issue within an organized social framework, like this site, should hope for clean perfection, and striving too hard to achieve that only leads to abuses. We are human, after all, however enlightened we believe ourselves to be. If we are the champions of human sovereignty and freedom we say we are, it is sufficient to encourage people to discipline themselves, as you have suggested, and let the hard boundaries the mods must enforce be necessary and few.
The bible tells us in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against us will succeed. We need to encourage those around us, who do see these weapons, with the Word of God in all areas of our lives. There are 240 Q posts that mention God. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+54%3A15-17&version=ESV
Sure.
Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
Thank you Soren, hows the misanthropy going?
There’s another non-religious aspect to the op here as well:
Censorship. Is this Reddit? Or is this GAW?
I understand wanting to keep threads on topic. But if your aim is to shut people up how are you different than what you oppose?
Satan, the Democrats, the deep state, all the glowies… they would all heartily updoot the original post. Don’t you see it?
Ofc I see it. But those retards aren't here. I'm not asking the mods to censor. I'm asking us. The board. To keep our focus on the topic at hand.
Perhaps Islamic or hindu or Jewish posts should be plastered top to bottom? Just so we can be inundated with non topics.
They ARE here though. Maybe not en masse (yet… wait for elections) but lurkers, trolls and glowies are a thing.
I think the point of the prayer requests posts is that many here see this site as a family of believers (church) offshoot or even their main one since the "churches" have all become corrupt or ineffectual. so they come here for that now. I'll admit when I see one or two I initially want to keep scrolling but then Christ is like "no, lets pray for them first" so I do. Aaaand I usually cap it off with an updoot kek. So that others can see it and pray for em too.
As for people declaring their religious views
The war is spiritual so
Good luck stopping that... the mess we're in has everything to do with [their] religious views, and the fact that [they] have been working their way up to positions of power, to then implement their views on everyone else. What choice do people have but to fight back? I don't see a huge amount of threads on Jesus, usually it's just a meme with a scripture on it. If you were on 8chan when Q was posting there were a lot of anons posting similar.
What types of posts are you referring to if not those?
as for arrogant newfags it usually doesn't last too long on here. They will either chill the fuck out or they will run into a ban. Seent it over and over: oh he's coming in hot! ... aaaaaaand he's gone! 😂
I appreciate you sharing this on the post I had, I believe I missed it, but I share great sentiment with it, especially the last sentence, lol.
The apostle Paul’s enemies literally preached the Gospel out of spite to sway public opinion against Paul so he would get a harsher sentence while he was under arrest and awaiting trial.
Paul wrote about this in Philippians 1:15:18.
What was Paul’s attitude about cringey preaching? Are we not encouraged to imitate Paul just as he imitated Messiah (1Cor.11:1)?
Except Paul had an audience.
You're literally on an anonymous board.
This board doesn't have an audience?
Did the Apostle John know every person that would read his written works by name?
Did the Apostle Paul know every person including the recently converted that would be hearing his epistle read in every church he wrote to about Jesus?
Should they not have written, knowing that some might hear and believe that were unknown to them?
You are anonymous.
You are lying by default. I'm not going to believe anything you say. Jesus is the way? OK show me how your anonymous account that praises Jesus differs from the hundred other anonymous accounts all doing the same? They're not.
It's the equivalent of going on YouTube commenting "who's here listening to this gem in 2024?"
I've read almost everything you have said up until now but here's what you don't get. You don't know either.
You keep saying these "anonymous accounts" proclaiming Jesus do nothing, but how do you know that? You speak as though you know how the Holy Spirit works, but you don't. The Holy Spirit works in ways you will never understand. If a person is led in the Spirit to do anything at all, who are you to claim the work doesn't matter?
Your pride is flowing. You should humble yourself. Let God work. Quit trying to control anything at all. God is definitely waking people up, everywhere. Who knows what could be a trigger for one more person to come to Christ in their life. It could be anything at all and here you are telling people not to "waste their time" with espousing the name of Jesus. Weird.
Nah. I think I'll keep doing what I'm doing. Perhaps that is where you are wrong.
I've listened to all you ppl.for decades and none of you know anything. All everyone does is hurt everyone else. So how about no. How about you sit down stfu and realize that I'm the one doing to teaching now. I'm not taking orders and I'm certainly not taking orders from you.
I know how the holy spirit works I'm curious to know how you think it works and whether or not it interacts with AI accounts. Oh you mean to tell me you can tell the difference between real n fake? Well by all means give me a lesson about the holy spirit AI and the internet.
No no. You've had your time to be an expert on all things but its time you sit in the shame of the world you've created.
As for me. I'll continue to live in poverty and will b here to teach when the rest of the world joins me in the squalor. Then finally maybe condescending prideful and condemning Christians will be able to accept the wisdom I'm trying to offer them.
I'm prideful in the fact that I literally have nothing except Christ but I'm guessing you have loads of worldly possessions and I'm guessing ..... just guessing a mortgage and usury debt?
"By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” -John 13:35
You have offered no wisdom whatsoever. And I am not going to debate you endlessly, as though your poverty is virtuous in any way. Be poor. Congratulations. Be a jerk. Congratulations. Be the smartest man in the room. Congratulations. Be the godliest man around in your own eyes. Congratulations. You do not bring the Spirit of Christ with you, that is clear.
Telling someone to stfu is indeed proper criticism for rebuking reproofing and commanding the attention of the class.
Spare the rod spoil the child. You know?
I am poor. For good reason I am a jerk. For good reason I'm an idiot. But you're a idiot too. I aspire to godliness or is it not humility to boast of seeking godliness? Where does your legalism begin and your saved by grace end?Exactly where?
How do you know what the spirit of Jesus is? Lol I'll take your word for it? No no. Go prosthelytize elsewhere I'm not your kind of Christian.
Paul was under house arrest. Any audience he had were visitors (as per the last chapter of Acts). But I fail to see how this is relevant to my point.
The cringe preachers were anonymous to Paul. Yet Paul was just excited that the Gospel was being preached. Paul was basically telling us before modern media ever existed that bad publicity is better than no publicity.
Anyway, if one claims to follow Jesus yet when they hear people talking about Jesus in a way that irritates them their instinct is to say stfu… you can only talk about Jesus when/where/how I say….
… you are not the Head of the body my brother. The toe doesn’t get to tell the belly button to stop spamming Jesus. Sorry.
God bless you. Sincerely hope you have a beautiful day.
Perhaps I'm closer to the head of the body than you might like?
Perhaps we should go to a star wars subreddit and plaster Jesus testimonials throughout? What type of reaction do you think reddit would pursue?
I'm not saying Jesus is wrong. I'm saying perhaps we need to focus on the topic?
It doesn't irritate me. Its lazy writing
All body parts are connected to the head. And the most humble parts are given honor. Don’t think I was trying to insult.
I understand your point.
My point is that I prefer to err on the side of free speech in public forums. And I take my cue from Paul and prefer err on the side of weirdos and televangelists preaching Jesus rather than telling anyone to not talk about Jesus.
Since this is Paul’s preference, and his weirdos were louder and more extreme, and we are to imitate him… thought I’d give some brotherly exhortation.
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts and, I have to say, you are a better disciple than I am if you don’t get irritated at this. Cringe preaching irritates me often, but I am under no delusion that I am not classified as a cringe preacher to someone else (and hopefully you are too).
All the best! Thanks for the respectful tone and civil discourse. I sincerely appreciate it - it’s refreshing and we need more like you. Peace in Messiah!
