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
Yes I understand and respect that fren. I will someday put together a team to make our own discord like app, or maybe God will send me someone that can..I want it to be strictly Christ centered where churches can make individual servers for there own members and there will ne larger servers for different things. As well as I wanna tie it Into the state community pages we have created here. It's a big project so please keep prayer Garden in your prayers.
Any who yes I completely understand. When you decide you wanna join please reach out. Would love to have you. We hope as light rises more and more people will decide to come. For now people need to follow what they feel led to do.
God bless fren.
That's actually a kickass idea! Church channels. Much better than what's on discord currently, no doubt.
Wait can I say kickass in church???
We are using discord cause it is the most user friendly. We tested a couple other similar apps as well. We are kinda just testing concepts for now. So someday we can take the best concepts from them all and combine them into one.
Yeah glad you like the idea. It's a fairly big concept with a lot of intermixing parts.
Haha so I believe we should seek to watch our language the best we can. Cause it really does help us grow. However I'm not gonna judge you for it. Maybe ask Jesus for that answer:)
I think Jesus gets a kek out of it sometimes, other times it's ugly, methinks. If it hits right, it's ok. If it's inappropriate I think the heart recoils / cringes and that's the answer. (imo)
I think you bring up valid points. Personally God has put on my heart to not cuss since I know it can lead others to follow my lead and cuss when they shouldn't. I like what you said though about the heart. This is one of those topics where I will always share my hearts but I allow it to be between the person and Jesus. He knows far better then I ever could. Language can often reflect our heart posture. Plus I think it can also guide or distract younger in the walk people. ❤️🫂🐸💪🙏
