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 evolving
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

Great thing about internet prophets is that they keep predicting things every now and then, hoping one of it eventually aligns with the real happening and still end up missing it

Man, there is so much going on and so much expected. I feel like I need to go between all of the sites 24/7.
how will people who don't have cable watch the debate? will it be on rumble?
all of the majors are covering it. nbc, fox, abc, cbs. do you have an antenna to get these? the guide says all of those are airing it.
oh cool- was wondering if those bastards would make it "exclusive" to cnn. I should be good then
Have you heard of Bill Nott? He's such an inspiration as he shows us his weight loss journey. Thought I'd share here

Your boss showing you her baby's pictures. Every single one of them.
I just wanna say thank God Julian Assange has been freed finally. Bout fuckin time what the fuck.
What did I miss ?
Hes being released on time served.
Is everyone going to watch the debate and give them ratings? What's the way around that? It's bound to be interesting.
CNN fin’ to have the best ratings in their entire history. 😂😂😂
Bitcoin just went below $60k USD. I personally don't own any but I'm hoping the good Frens on here, who do, see a rise soon.
someone told me the future is XRP and that white hats are using bitcoin that all the DS holds to pull the rug under them? Something along that line
I got rich off chainlink and fantom after listening to the anons on 4chan.
Thanks for your inside information 🤠
Every day I seem to get further away from the mainstream/herd... more specifically - the indoctrination I've been subjected to my entire life. I've never really run or thought like the herd anyway, but every day in this "Great Awakening" - layers are peeled back a little more - and while some questions are answered, several others arise...For instance:
What are we doing exactly? I mean, clearly we are fucking slaves. No government is doing the will of the people ANYWHERE on earth. The way things are set up, you can't "get" to anyone - and as a result, we don't really have a voice in the direction of anything in our lives - as it relates to society. It's all hy design. Even going to the local municipal building is just repugnant - it's us vs the machine. ZERO unity - it didn't used to be so bleak and painful/frustrating.
Most are absolutely completely LOST - and have ZERO clue about how cornholed everyone is. Free? Pfft...you ain't free. Only the wild animals are free. We live on a tax farm...You are legally lost at sea...your SS # is your body's serial number...By papal bull, the pope OWNS every single person on earth... and all the land...
There most certainly is a global conspiracy to rule over everyone on earth. It's been a thing for over a thousand years...The hidden hand, secret armies and a perpetual state of war has been going on for centuries. Instead of swords and guns, they use psychological and economic warfare, with a good measure of legalese and slight of hand. Everything you THINK you know about even the past 150 years, is COMPLETELY wrong... Do you honestly think we "won" any war? Especially WW1&2? Nope... the joke is on us.
I'm tired. I'm tired of stupidity. I'm tired of the lies...the propaganda, the lies by omission, the endless psyops, tired of everyone getting tricked, tired of fascism and mega corporations dictating policy, I'm tired of NPCs, GMOs and NGOs, I'm tired of these made up governing bodies like UN, WHO and the IMF, I'm tired of these dbag scientists dictating reality in this creation - but mostly, the lack of humanity and ignoring the CREATOR. I'm just fucking tired of all the diet coke bullshit inauthentic, fake circle jerking plastic disposable EVERYTHING - EVERYWHERE pushed on us by lobbyists, self-appointed criminals and any other ball-less, soul-less, spiritless suckers of satans scaly pecker. And all you bastard half-breed alien non-human/anti-human scumbags. Fuck you and die.
I can't even begin to tell you how much I want to yank this invisible force we're at war with out of bed at o'dark:30 and into the street and beat the absolute piss out of them... NONE of these fuckers EVER make a decision or choice that is kind, life affirming, in harmony with Spirit. EVERY fucking decision they make is anti-human, destructive and satanic. EVERY. DAMNED. ONE. BAR NONE!
So I ask.... What the fuck are we doing? People are hurting and struggling right now. There's NO FUCKING WORK!!! There's not enough money to make ends meet. We're paying TOP DOLLAR for shit food, shit EVERYTHING - and TWO people are working to make end meet. Wasn't long ago a SINGLE lowly factory worker could provide for his family. He could pay cash at the local doctor - no big deal. NOW - EVERYTHING is completely intertwined with the proverbial MACHINE (cue pink Floyd) - There's nothing natural, simple or easy anymore. ALL of it by design. (Drs sending bills via text messages now - fuck you. Seriously - fuck you and your entire machine)
I'm just getting sick of it ALL. Where is the loce, compassion and humanity in ANYTHING anymore? Why aren't we able (this is clearly a redundant question) to make ANY godly decisions in our communities? Just what in the hell is going on here? Stop, turn around and go back. WE FUCKED UP BIG TIME!
I really hope we can turn things around to something with even a partial resemblance of a good, decent, healthy life going forward. I know "The Plan" is in play, even though a part of me has guarded pause that says, "don't be fooled" when the track record of these "powers that be" is about as shitty as it gets the past 1000+ years. Otherwise, I have to somehow set my sights on the afterlife... I can't fully be here... it's not fun at all. I long to go Home... to bask in the light of God and be free from the relentless attacks of evil and darkness - but even the thought of this is reserved - Would I really finally be free? I don't believe in sky daddy... Nobody's coming to save me... it's all on me. If they haven't come by now, they ain't coming. Just look at what they've done to children for millennia... and it still goes on. Cue the Stones... Give me shelter, or I'm gonna fade away.
I can't unlearn...
Probably from reading this yesterday: https://prussiagate.substack.com/p/table-of-contents
I have finally understood what our purpose in life is. It starts from the moment of creation. Did God create genuinely wonderful creatures or not? This was the argument Satan had with God. And Satan has done everything to prove that God's creation was imperfect.
Our purpose in life is to prove Satan wrong and prove that God indeed created wonderful creatures who deserve our own place in the universe.
We are at the culmination of this "challenge" so to speak, with Satan trying everything possible to prove that we are inherantly evil and would willingly do evil things as a race. But all he has proven is that, no matter how much he tricks us into doing evil things, we always wake up and fight back.
I do strongly believe that once this challenge is over and we prove God right and Satan wrong, we can take out place in the universe and we will know our true purpose in life, which I feel is spiritual evolution and ascension.
When you die, you will have your shelter. be strong and courageous soldier. The Lord of Hosts commands us. That said, i agree this whole shits sucks asshole. May God richly bless you for standing fast.
I am all in on your number 1. We won't and can't make these politicians listen to us anymore-they don't care about what we say, only what they want and they push their agenda front and center and act on it, no matter the cost to the poor citizenry. What a shame.
TaQo: Yes it’s hard to sit through a propaganda war. But this is thee only thing keeping the bullets from flying if you live in North America, Asia, or Western Europe. And this is what always happens at the beginning of a war, on average 4-8 years of propaganda before it goes peaceful or kinetic. And people that are Awake or directly involved in the propaganda part are fighting on one side or the other to get the informational upper hand to keep a level of peace or cause the kinetic section to happen. And most sane people on both sides reeeeally do not want the bullets to fly. But when they do, an awful resolve has been reached and besides military, civilians are about to die in fast numbers.
So we on GAW are trying to help our communities, our Anons or points of social media contact to Awaken to what is reeeally going on, and to avoid kinetic conflict.
If you’re in a “safe” place, just keep in mind you’re not in: Eastern Ukraine, Crimea & Southern Russia, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, Western Jordan, Northeastern Egypt, Northern Mexico, Venezuela, Taiwan, Sri Lanka, Libya, Cueta, or the DMZ of S.K. and N.K. These are places people are dying right now, or can be bombed or caught in a military gun battle at any moment every single day.
We are here with you Anon, feel much of the same lag of a solid victory. But it will come Anon. And it will hopefully come without or only very minimal bloodshed outside of what the Cabal has already done. You are not alone Anon.
Where We Go One We Go All, together with Christ our Lord.
Thanks Brent - I certainly don't want bullets flying anywhere... and I REALLY don't want to lose whatever humanity I have left if I am forced to protect my family in that scenario. We've all read what happens, "when a good man goes to war"...My soul's been shattered enough for one lifetime.
Yes, I'm extremely grateful that we've dodged a sum of all fears operation... that would have been hell on earth for everyone and would have ended the entire world.
I'm not without gratitude...For you guys putting foot to ass to save humanity from the clutches of the evil one - know that we love you and are forever grateful for your sacrifices and service. You are truly heroes - not the bs ones with a hero sticker on a patrol car shaking down citizens for their quota.
Yes - the Great Awakening.... I am most certainly awakening to layers upon layers of bs we've put up with for so long - but mainly, the psychological warfare that's been fired at us since we were born. More and more every day. It's repulsive. It's repugnant and I don't know about you - but haven't we had enough of the "war thing" yet? Seriously... enough already. (Corporate greed, mil contractors, 🤡 ops, innocent lives shattered, etc)
I think there's a growing number of us that are just tired of all the bs. Life could be so much better sans the anti-human decisions being forced on the people of the world.
It gets tiresome... and I get weary...Plan or no plan, when you discover how we're all just slaves on this prison planet, it has an impact - if you really get present to what's been going on. Just like Q said, "The truth would put 99% of people in the hospital. " - I believe that's a possibility if people really knew what's been done to them... I'm doing the outpatient version right now a little at a time I guess...
u/#q142
To be honest, I think that's the common sentiment around here. We're all just trying to survive and stay afloat, stay sane, stay hopeful, keep our sense of humor and a good shoulder on our head at the moment and hopefully when Trump comes back things will get better.
As for spirituality and the afterlife.. what if I tell you we're all connected by God. What if I tell you God, Jesus, Holy Spirit live inside you. He's also experiencing through you. Look at the world as the oven, and you're the bread inside the oven. You should achieve for perfection within yourself, ascend and know you're not this body bind to earth, to this lower plane, and this is only temporary. You can also see this world as a school. Things in school are always tough and you have to do your homework, put in your time and effort, get dumped and rejected by the girl you like..from all the experiences you will grow and be ready for college and adulthood. That's what Earth is..a pit stop halfway house before we can ascend. The harder it is, the faster we grow and can get the heck out and Up!
Thanks!
I'm a retired Catholic...was an alter boy even...
I know it's literally impossible to be disconnected from God, although it is possible to beLIEve that you are...
I no longer pray in the typical Catholic/biblical sense anymore. I do however experience communion with God by becoming completely quiet. It's then I experience what it truly means to love my neighbor - it's a state of peace, love and compassion - some call that Christ consciousness. It's there I understand true unity with everyone...
However, playing this game of life, with its endless noise and distractions, I guess I get knocked off center... because it's an extreme contrast to communion with God. Especially when the idea that there even is a God is absent nearly everywhere now...I wonder how people go through life thinking there is no God and their thoughts on eternity....
We're all in this together, fren. And this board helps you can vent here and know others feel the same way as you and we can help one another get through this together like a support group.
The way I feel the past few years, the more I became more spiritual, loving Jesus, and getting to that mindset, the more opposition I get from the entire world. Now I see it as a sign that the devil reallly doesn't want me to be saved and be close to God, so the more opposition the more we have to chase after God, meditate, whatever works for you. I guess when Q said this is a spiritual battle it really is! The devil is in full battle mode working overtime trying to bring us down, our morale, our faith, our sanity, our patience, our wallets, through chaos, mayhem, inflation, stupidity, death, and destruction. Devil is throwing everything but the kitchen sink, so the more horrible things get in the world as we see it, the harder we have to pursue Jesus and hold on to him with all you got. Fast, pray, meditate, and surrender to God entirely. You'll see how much of a difference it can make in a matter of hours, days, or weeks.
P,S We are in the storm and what you do in the storm, hold on to the strongest thing on the ground so you don't get blown away. That's our relationship with God in a nutshell imo.
God bless you always.
I'm convinced it's definitely a spiritual war...
Some think hell spilled over...

Is there any way to know from the Mods some stats about this site?
How many unique registered users? How many page views per month? How many page views from registered users? How man page views from non-registered users? Trends of page views? How many unique commenters?
I just want to get a feel for the size of our community and our reach.
By "registered" I simply mean those who have created a username and are able to comment.
Thanks
I dont believe we have such tools internally. You can use external services that provide traffic data for all websites.
There is no way to differentiate user registration for GAW versus the whole scored platform, so we cant even tell how many users have registered specifically for GAW.
Oh, ok. Thanks!
Thanks. I'm not familar with that. Can you explain?
Have you ever looked at the order list (posted on Mondays I'm guessing) for the supreme court? https://www.supremecourt.gov/orders/courtorders/062424zor_e18f.pdf This is today's. The bottom shows lawyers that have been ruled disbarred. Wonder what that's about. Anyone pick out anything significant that tells us what to expect this week?
Good morning everyone, Newby here.
Welcome fren! How did you find us ?
Made it through cataract surgery. Home resting in between funeral duties. My dad lives next door so I can run over when needed. We ordered the spray for the casket, $350.00. I was going to order something small from my family. I understand everything has gone up drastically but dang it’s crazy. My mom loved flowers, her yard was like the large flower gardens for the public. I hate the thought of no other flowers for her funeral. But I have to be a realists, she won’t know if she has flowers. I’m glad her flowers when she was alive and desserts which she loved. Side note, I bet the florist industry is suffering. Just venting!
May God comfort you in your loss, but it sounds like you’re dealing with it very well. You are truly blessed that you are able to perform her funeral duties. The fact that you were not estranged from her show that you were a wonderful child.
Thank you so much. This means a lot. We didn’t have an ideal mother daughter relationship and that’s ok. My first thirty years we were like fire and gasoline. It took me growing up, getting mature and seeing things differently. My mom had a lot of trauma in her life and despite that she did everything in her power to keep the family together and was always taking on trips, clothes on our backs and kept us evolved in many activities. I reached a point I stopped arguing with her even if she started it. After that things got better. I’m not happy she’s gone but I’m glad her suffering is over. I hope I was a good child. I’m sure there was times I tested her. I’m too much like my dad. That’s good in many ways except for being strong willed. It’s going to be hard on my dad. I pray I can be helpful supporting him. Between me and my brother we get him through it. Speaking of performing funeral duties. The funeral home doesn’t write obituaries anymore. My husband and I worked on it an hour last night. I didn’t mind. Thanks again fren.
😢
I'm sorry about your mom. She's in a better place now. God bless you.
Thank you fren and absolutely she’s at peace with Jesus. For many years she wasn’t herself and started declining. The last two years was hard on her. Some people adjust good leaving home and going into assisted living. My grandma did so well, being involved in everything.
Dear PepeSee, I know we had our disagreements but I really do miss seeing you on GA.win. please come back soon.
Oh I love PepeSee posts. Praying everything is alright.
From what I read from a very intuitive Fren, was he was banned for 7 days and he did not take it well. Considering his profound contribution to GW.win over the years. I don't blame him for being angry. I hope he enjoys his time away and rejoins the Spiritual Battle with a new name. Pepesee2 sounds good to me.
That sucks, I love pepesee. 😶
I don’t understand how some get banned and others don’t. I don’t want to trash the mods because it’s a thankless job and can’t be easy. Ye, praying he comes back after a break.
He DMed me and he wanted to let everyone know he is alive. He sent me a contact and I will be communicating with him directly. He is a Righteous Soul and I look forward to keeping in touch with him.
Oh that’s great! I understand completely. I have to give myself a break from time to time.
I was relieved to hear from him. We lost 2 loved contributors, last year and earlier this year who disappeared without any word or good-byes.
I remember this.
He was a Righteous Soul, with a fighting Spirit..
God bless you frens, don't quit no matter what.
I wonder how gendered languages are handling "they/them" pronouns. In English, it pains me to see anyone use a plural word for a singular person, but whatever. But in gendered languages, even the plural forms hold masculine or feminine. How do these people have any identity in other languages?! 🤣🙄
Yeah, it seems they have hit some roadblocks pushing the trans agenda in countries like France.
Can stevethefish chime in how Japan is handling this? Between atashi wa, boku wa, watashi wa, etc?
It breaks my heart when I see “they/them” on someone’s profile. So many new unknown celebrities are doing this.
There is so much weird stuff out there to weed thru. What's this about birds not being real now? 🙈
Just some stupid gen z meme going around. I first heard about it about two years ago
that's well into flat earther territory, the cabal thanks them for their service. discernment ain't easy, fren.
Whatever happened to these people, it's like they vanished into thin air, I never hear about them anymore
Misfud
Gina Haspel
Dong Jingwei
Wendy Rogers

Anthony Weiner
That obsure governor that tried removing Trump from the ballot.
I'm sure there's more... it just what I can remember
Hanging out at Awan's cafe...
Yes, there's another name that you don't hear anymore....
I think that about people and then I realize that they are active on sites that I don't use very often anymore. In this list Wendy Rogers. I think she uses truth social. She recently is controversial for backing a guy that lied about his military service. And then WR called out Seth keshel for being a phony.
Yeah, that's probably it... so much going on it's hard to keep up.
I'm reading "The War on Conservatives" by Mark Dice and on page 65 he mentions that shitlibs at Vice News recommended using a drug called Misoprostol as a DIY abortion pill. It can be found at pet stores because while it can medically induce abortions, it is also used to treat ulcers in horses. I wonder... didn't Vice News denounce Ivermectin as "horse goo"?
What foods do you eat to fight inflammation?
ginger, salmon, cod, with rice, lots of greens, chard, kale, anything in the cabbage family, turmeric. For me it's more what I dont eat that helps a lot, no sugar, no wheat. Stopping gluten made a huge difference for me and pain in my joints. Hot foods , spicy foods can fight inflammation, it seems counterintuitive, but cayenne pepper and a good hot curry cools the inflammation.
Alkaline foods, like non-acidic fruits and vegetables. Avoid nightshades... and absolutely no honeydew melons, which triggers arthritis...
Acid in the morning (fruit) and none after 2pm. Vegetables anytime.
The body wants to be acidic in the morning and alkaline at night. Try not to fight it.
Avoid processed sugar... get your sugar from fruit.
Seems moot, but....no soy anything, no seed oils, no partially or otherwise hydrogenated oils, margarine, non dairy creamer (why do they refrigerate that swill?), avoid fried foods, HF corn syrup, white sugar, heavy acidic foods like tomato sauce, pepsi, drinking coffee that's been overcooked in a machine for hours...etc.
As a rule, I avoid soy, except in chips. 😢😢😢 Gotta give it up for myself and something better for my family. I need to make my own corn chips.
As a general rule, I avoid any food that's cheap. Real food costs real money. I only shop the outer ring of grocery stores... and real food never has a coupon.
How about tofu, as far as soy products?
It also helps to avoid food that cause it, seed oils are a big one, and in so much food.
I find sticking to olive & coconut oils and bacon grease/lard helps a lot
I avoid seed oils as much as I can, except for in chips, which are a weakness. I use the ones you have listed along with avocado oil.
Thank you!!!
Avocado is a another good one.... There's tasty potato chip that's cooked in avocado oil - they're called NY Chips I think. Who know what really in stuff tho these days.
I have tried Siete products and they only use good oils and other stuff. I enjoy them.
I never heard of Siete, I'll look into them :)
When I go chip shopping I will see if there are any good ones with better oil.
What is your favorite kind of chip?
I love corn chips. Love them. I wish I could find those cooked in avocado oil.
Garlic, Turmeric, Honey, Ginger, Natto
Mmmm!!! Thanks!!!
Some tips. Best to crush garlic and eat it raw with your food within 5-10 mins of crushing it for the most effect, but just using it for cooking works too. (Its very spicy when you eat raw, so be careful until you get used).
You can add Turmeric to pretty much any dish where you stirfry spices. You can also add turmeric to hot milk and honey with ginger and garlic (and any other tea spices you prefer) and boil it to make a delicious drink commonly known as golden milk.
Honey is most effective when eaten raw and only consume Manuka honey with high purity, otherwise its just sugar.
In addition, doing intermittent fasting, cutting off all preserved food and all sugary food and alcohol is probably the quickest way to fight inflammation but also get healthy and lose weight in general.
Pineapple is full of bromelain, an anti-inflammatory. Turmeric fights inflammation too. I had tendonitis/carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists about 20 years ago and I learned a lot about natural ways to fight inflammation.
I usually take bromelain supplements, but had to stop last week for surgery. I will make more use of the pineapple and tumeric that I have to eat. I will add to this week's menu. Thanks!
It's weird; Twitter is blocked by the proxy server at work, so any GAW posts with Twitter links do not load the tweets. Yet on PDW, the tweets appear. Weird.
All I heard was that your workplace allows GAW! Thats great :)
Healthy to keep focus on the positive messages.
"why do women like soap operas"
American ones? Not sure, they seem to never end.
Mexican and Korean ones? Longer term character focused stories with a clear plot and typically a good, resolute ending.
If you enjoy either you likely enjoy wrestling too
Great question and I wish I could answer this. I grew up watching Days of our lives and Young and the Restless. My mom always had them on so I watched. I started watching General Hospital in high school around 1982 and watched it until about three years ago. GH is the only one I watched over the last twenty years. I used to watch at least three. I only stopped watching because it kept getting interrupted by “breaking news” during the Covid plandimic. It’s always amazed me breaking news happens at the same time throughout the years. Instead of my soap I had Gov Cooper talking about Covid shutdowns. I would probably start back watching if I could catch up on the past two years. I could go online and watch Days from the beginning but ABC has GH on lockdown. It’s not a big deal I’d probably get irritated by the sorry writing. Don’t forget about nighttime soaps. Shows like Dallas, Knotts Landing, Desperate Housewives and many others had just as much drama as the daytime shows. Also it’s not just women that watch soaps.
Falcon Crest!
I had a run in tonight with someone on a Reddit thread about a tv show. Next to their name was small capital letters “OP” written in blue. They were not the original poster. Does that mean something ? Was I dealing with a bot or an AI thing or something ? I’ve never seen that before.

During my time in Hawaii - i’m truly enjoying God’s Glory, and His peace and joy. I know this six weeks will be a time of regeneration, and preparing me for the battle ahead this year. I am aware that moving closer into election season, they’re really going to start throwing everything they can at us. I am now resetting, and getting ready for the battle ahead. Thank you Jesus for your loving kindness, and a chance of a lifetime.
I was able to go to Poipu Beach last week with a friend of mine from out of town. My family member was able to get this wonderful video of a turtle coming up to the shore at night. of all the times I’ve been here, I’ve never gotten to go to Poipu Beach. This is the first time for me. 🥰

It's nearly been a year since the Maui fires/blue roofs/ Jewish Space Lasers drama occurred. Time flies.
I know… And it’s so sad. It’s still affect people on other islands as well. 😔

Can You Inherit Memories From Your Ancestors?
https://www.theguardian.com/books/article/2024/jun/17/the-big-idea-can-you-inherit-memories-from-your-ancestors
4th generation holocaust survivors use this theory, many claim ptsd.
A Jewish Christian guy I used to correspond with had to visit Germany for his job and he was acting all faggy about it. He says he has relatives who died in concentration camps, so that was his excuse to claim PTSD and send me emails ranting about "Nazis." What a prick. Fortunately, he doesn't bother emailing me anymore since I wouldn't go along with his Zionist bullcrap and refused to take sides in this whole Gaza mess. I told him both sides reject Jesus and bacon, so I refuse to stand with either side. I bet that gave him PTSD too, the whiny bitch he is.
I remember when you were first at a crossroads regarding this guy here in GC... Seems like things have worked out. Congrats. o7
It didn't really work out. Back at the end of December, he sent me a textwall chewing me out for not supporting Israel, accusing me of not being a proper Christian because apparently since Israel is where Jesus is from, that gives the modern Israeli government a free pass to be as corrupt and evil as it can be and we should all just support whatever they do because... reasons. Jesus reasons. I never responded to him and I fortunately haven't received any correspondence from him since then. Frankly, I was sick of his constant emailing me. He was in NY at 9/11 and was close enough to see people falling to their deaths. He suffers PTSD, so to him that qualifies him to make unbiased, accurate conclusions about the incident, and that it was 100% carried out by Muslims with magical box cutters who couldn't even fly a Cessna. All because the Quran is evil, so apparently it gives Muslims superpowers like that. The guy would clutter my inboxes with long rants about how much he hates Democrats and homosexuals. There is only so much you can do for someone, to try to show them the path of love. Sometimes you have to just shake the dust from your sandals and move on, you know?

Hey frens, please pray for my family. My mom is at peace now with the Lord. She died today, my dad and I were there with her. Thanks
Edit: I have cataract surgery on the other eye tomorrow morning.
My condolences for your loss. She is in the arms of the Almighty, she has gone to the home that is promised for all believers. It is good that you were both with her. May your Faith console you.
Such sweet words! Thanks fren.
Condolences my Fren.
Thanks fren.
I lost my mom 12 years ago. Be thankful you were there with her when she passed. I had just moved to Japan when she died 3 weeks later. I was unable to say goodbye to her properly as one day she was conscious but I did not want to interrupt her because she was talking to my aunt in the hospital room. When I called back the next day, she had lost consciousness and I was unable to say goodbye. I couldn't suddenly fly to America to attend the funeral, either. I wish I could have been there. She was in constant pain due to her leukemia. At last she was free from the pain.
I’m sorry this happened to you. I said goodbye in my own way. I really don’t know if she knew we were there over the last few weeks. The past two months she declined rapidly and didn’t talk a lot.
Yeah, Mom had been in and out of hospitals so often that I didn't think much of it. She'd picked up a bacterial infection which led to a high fever. The experimental drug she was given shut her bowels down. My sister said that she became so bloated/emaciated before she died that it was a terrible sight. She told me I am lucky that I was not there to witness it.
The hospital lied and claimed that the cause of her death was leukemia, but tehcnically it was a combination of the bacterial infection she'd picked up at the hospital plus the side effect from the drug she was administered. So I am fully aware of hospitals lying about the patients they inadvertently kill in order to cover their asses. But knowing about that makes me a bad person because... Trump is LITERALLY HITLER or something.
It took a while before I could talk about her without crying. Just find comfort that your mom lived a good life and now her soul lies waiting for the day of resurrection when we are all united in Christ. You'll embrace her again someday.
Prayers for the Lord to comfort and sustain you all as you grieve. God bless.
Thanks fren
Wow - so sorry to hear about your loss, however, pleased to hear that she’s with Jesus right now. I understand that doesn’t diminish your own own pain, and I’m praying for the Lord to comfort you during this time.
Also praying that your cataract surgery goes well tomorrow, because it’ll be one of the best things that ever happened to you. I had both of my eyes done years ago, and it’s been seven years now and I’ve never even had to wear glasses. I’m so pleased. I hope it all goes well for you.
Still sad that you’ll be missing mom though. 🙏😭😔
Thank you so much. I’m the type that will be strong for everyone and break down later. I’m glad she’s at peace. She had a blessed and wonderful life.
Fren I just want you to know that Jesus doesn't want you to carry that weight it's ok to be weak for in our weakness he is made strong. I understand you wanna be there as other people process things but just don't take so much weight on that you don't allow yourself to process things. Love you and praying for you. Sorry for your loss
Thanks fren for the advice and prayers. You are so right. It’s very hard for me to attempt changing. I’ve been this way so long. It’s not in my DNA to sit back and not be the rock for others. I get it from my grandma. I have a loving and supportive husband and he’ll make sure I’m taking care of myself.
Yes I completely understand that feeling and glad you have your husband to watch out for you.
Sometimes people need to see others weaknesses so they can relate and you can walk through it with them, if that makes sense.
Love you sis
It does make sense. Love you brow
Yes I understand understand. you’re a strong, patriot woman, of course you’ll be there for others first. Just give yourself some time when you finally do need it for yourself. Praying for you
