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
Of all the truths I've discovered in my life, the most bothersome truth I came to learn is that, we could change the world in 1 minute but we haven't.
If we all decided to pick a minute to all begin living excellent, in line with the example of Christ, and to keep doing it for the subsequent minutes - our understanding and intelligence would accelerate and advance rapidly on all fronts in a very short time. Even if we started on a small scale, like small community, it could radiate and grow.
The fact that we have the capability to do this, but have not yet done it worldwide, over thousands of years, and to today with the internet to coordinate it to the minute, is really is bothersome. We have all this potential, we have the knowledge spread around the world to achieve it, yet we still haven't yet launched, or even attempted to launch, on a global scale!
It's not like we don't have a leader to turn to in the example of Christ, who can convince us and others that the love He exemplified is the way, and guide us to those in His body who He worked with and trained for guidance. Nor is it like we're unable to understand His language of truth and love, because we have examples of those who spoke, and speak, like Him.
It is the most bothersome truth of all, because it's kind of embarrassing for humankind, which we're all a part of..
I agree. WE are why the country is in the mess it’s in. I’ve really been tough on the “Christians” lately. In stead of fighting these battles a long time ago, we got fat and lazy. All they could muster up to say is “ well we gonna be raptured outta here”. Hmm… are you? I guess time will tell. God does not reward laziness. I tell myself that every single morning. We did not stand on guard and protect our liberty. We just elected an incompetent greedy jackass to do the bidding for us in Congress, and they sold us out. Now we get a second chance to make our Heavenly Father proud and stand behind the Cyrus he gave to us to lead us to victory. May we never forget how close we came to losing it all. ❤️
