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

Absolutely disgusted with some "anons" here
There is a thread about Melania Trump saying she is pro choice from a day ago.
Not only a lot of people claiming to no longer respect Q+ wife but also things such as advocating for chemical birth control (which long term has so many side effects and even affects our water supply) and even proposing people who have had abortions be sentenced to death, not to mention misogyny and theocratic positions on sex
I rarely speak my mind on this single topic here because I take one of our rules BE RESPECTFUL very seriously...
But sometimes I wish I could drop the crumbs that lead to the truth without getting mobbed by several dozen well meaning but ultimately lied to frens. There are multiple truths both in the Bible and in history, as well existential philosophy, that reveal the truth..but it is one too hard for the average evangelical or even pede to process
Either way, I am very suspicious that there will be continuing pushes by social media heads to spread Trump's abortion position to cripple the movement. Which is a shame..because it is obvious Trump gets that in the current OLD kingdom under the current system, attempting to implement a theocracy leads only to chaos and needless suffering.
To those who cannot be convinced otherwise regarding this single issue, I am begging you to please continue supporting Trump. He is being used by God to bring back our republic and set the stage for what leads to the New Kingdom. In the New Kingdom, abortion will not be an argument, it will not even be needed or desired. Just trust.
I saw it all over MSM's headlines about Melania. I don't believe a word of it. The left is so desperate as usual and anybody who still believes in MSM , bet they didn't even read the book, just sheer desperation. Melania and DJT's stance on abortion is the same. But they are so desperate for something just to stop republicans from voting they'd try all kinds of tricks. Rebuke them all!
I shiver when I think of a theocracy. All we need look at is Iran.
I agree 100%, and I am deeply religious, but private, in a way. I practice by myself, in prayer and readings, and my communication with God. I do believe in God in Christ, I do believe in his teachings, and apply them to my life. I did raise my son going to church and home prayer, but God gave us free choice to begin with and no human should take that away. We have laws, we have a Constitution, in the USA. And what man would rule the way God does? None, because we are asked to have Faith, not to rule over others. There are so many interpretations of what laws should be applied. One man says we should live by the Old Testament, but we can eat shrimp, another says that worship must be on a Sunday, another says the sabbath is on Saturday, one man says that money is a sign of Providence and blessings, another says the only way to trust in God is to eschew all earthly wealth. Does a man do good because the spirit moves him? Or does he do good because he is afraid of hell? No sharia law for me, Christian Muslim or Jew, God knows our hearts, that is where we will be judged, "from Him no secrets are hid"
Unless Jesus himself is Our King any theocracy will corrupt the Christian faith and any other Theocracy is almost certain to be both corrupt and intent on destroying every other faith. I share your shivers. Freedom to seek God is the only way
Afaik Melania hasn't yet released the book and all the reporting is based on "sources" in MSM who have read the book. People should definitely hold their judgement until they can read for themselves.
I am guessing her stand will be same as Trump's - State's right & Its there will be reasonable exceptions and a max time limit after which no abortions.
Anyone who pushes for "absolutely no abortions for any reason" is doing the Satan's work, because that is precisely how the pendulum swung all the way to post birth abortions.
