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
Yes ..thank you. I am feeling a bit overwhelmed. I spent a lot of time digging on the two NES threads and it cooked me a bit...
If Q hadn't highlighted the Freemasons in a negative light I'd be concerned that the Freemasonic ordo ab chao was indeed taking place, but not overly. We have many more data points to consider in determining whether "the Plan" is on God's side or on Lucifer's / satan's side, and we also can't rule out the fact that God can use anybody or anything He wants in orchestrating HIS plans, including Freemasons, Catholics, Jesuits, Zionists, or whoever else you want to include, as well as their plans and devices...
In the end it really boils down to you and God. Don't trust anybody or anything more than you trust Him.
If the world goes to shit, at least you have God with you. Ride or die 🔥
This is the conclusion I've ultimately accepted.
In my own personal research of taking things to the absolute limit in order to arrive at the truth, the ONLY untainted, unadulterated, authentic and true ANYTHING on this planet, is what I came in with and what I'm going out with - my connection to God.
When you break it all down, sift it all out - only God remains. This includes religion and dogma. It includes deities with a name. All roads lead to the true God.
In my travels and observations, I've come to surmise that our free will to make the choices we do and ultimately reap the whirlwind of consequences as a result, shows me that God is allowing all the debauchery in the world for a reason. (Isaiah 45:7, BTW) - because God knows we will ultimately discover that anything other than God is a complete dead end and bullshit that doesn't make us feel fulfilled, satisfied or whole - anything other than God is simply bullshit and a poor substitute. That's what I think God's plan is ... and it worked for me.
I can't really agree here but see your point (I think). If a man goes down a path of wickedness (lets just use Alister Crowley's satanism as a neutral punching bag for this), they immerse themselves in it, and then find out how bad it is and thus run in the opposite direction, like the Prodigal Son parable, I could see how even that wicked system can indirectly lead someone to God -- but if they were all into it and never had a change of heart but instead continued becoming more and more wicked up until their death, well, I don't want to presume their fate in the after-life but it surely seems like a big risk and I could not call that a road which led to God
yeah that was good stuff, the NYT claiming they made the election call finally came into focus for me.
