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

Wow, I knew all about how Jacques de Molay was taken out by King Phillip, but never knew this part. Thanks for this! Definitely worth digging more.
Pope Clement died on Hitler's birthday. Even more interesting.
Without knowing much more, I would venture a guess - this was various factions controlling the Catholic church going at each others' throats? Happens a lot in history, just like right now. (Only this time, this is accompanied with Great Awakening, so this can be the last time)
Clement V was born on Hitler's Birthday? wow! I don't know much more except that the two men knew each other. I am sure the Pope & De Molay would have met up & talked several times. They might have had different opinions on things & etc but they had to have known each other personally. It's nothing for the Clintons to sign off on the execution of a friend but a supposed holy man? Why didn't they negotiate 1st? Maybe there's a lot lost in history...
No, he died on Hitler's birthday. BTW, that week in April is the most Satanic week or something - so many disasters in history have happened during that time.
When Phillip decided to take out the Templars, thats like one Mafia family taking out another Mafia family, when both the families are fully protected. Usually that kind of stuff happens with a lot of personal grudge, irrationality etc. When that happens, it inevitable shakes everything up. God Father is probably a good movies to watch to get an idea how this goes down.
Sorry I was in a rush this morning when I sent that off. So are you saying it's more likely to have been Satan that sent the lightning bolt? (Since it was done on his week) I've often contemplated that. When he cried out to adornai was that his Lord God or was it his lord satan? Today's templers have some sort of connection with the Freemasons but that doesn't mean they are both evil. IDK. They do seem to have some sort of think for baphanot, though. So it seems....
What of people corn that week? I know a few....
More likely its not a divine lightning at all. More like, since the Templars were removed from power there was a power vacuum, and someone in the opposing faction to the Pope used the oppurtunity to eliminate him. They probably burnt him and the Church and used the excuse.
