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
Even the most faithful Christian’s can be blind. I don’t know him so don’t know exactly how he thinks. I can agree with this to some degree. Having faith in God to take care of everything in your life and world means letting go. Just like a kid waiting on parent to pick them up. If that parent always comes through the kid won’t question, will they forget? I believe most people here are mostly the same type of person. We may trust the lord to protect us, provide and take out evil but we want to know all the details! Investigating and learning what’s going on in your world doesn’t mean you don’t have faith. I don’t think God wants us walking around with blinders on. Also how can you fight the evil if you aren’t aware of it? There’s so many bad influences today and especially if you have children you need to be aware to protect them. I absolutely hate I know the truth about satanic worship and child trafficking. It’s messed with my head. Yet, on the other hand I’m glad I know because I have a one year old granddaughter and I know to protect her at all costs. Lastly, when a person is set in their ways and refuses to see every aspect of something they will stubbornly stay in denial out of self defense. It’s a mentality I don’t understand even though most of our family and friends are like this. Bottom line do what works for you. I’ve stopped trying to reach family and friends. They think I’m crazy. If something bad happens to them I won’t say I told you so but you kinda loose respect.
You just said what I said to him. I asked him how we defeat evil if we don’t know what it is? And, again, you are on the money. They think I’m crazy. Thank God, my kids have listened to everything. That’s what matters. They watch their kids CLOSE. Currently, I’m praying that the part of my family who just left for El Paso, is safe. My grandson was invited to a national football game for 7th and 8th graders. I am so proud! I am also scared to death that some illegal is going to rob them or worse. I put my trust FULLY in God to protect them. We went over “hunter safety’ before they left. They are more ready than when they left, if you know what I mean. We all prayed together over the phone. Where two or more are gathered in His name, He is there with them/us.
