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
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

I am just pondering Erdogan's apparent attack on Syria & what someone I know who has been keeping up on those who have deep biblical knowledge, have said. I know that Erdogan has been calling for the return of the caliphate & that he, himself is actually a possible candidate for the beast.
Yes I am optimistic about Trump & the future of USA but our whole continent was not even known of when any of the bible was written & what was meant by the "whole world" in those days was the world as they knew it. The 10 countries that the beast will control are probably the 10 of the middle east. We will probably, under Trump, act as the arm of God at some point, since God always acts through his people. Right now though, I am very concerned about those people who live there. There are still many Christians in those areas. Keep them in your prayers. It could be the start of some great tribulation. For their sake, I hope I am wrong.
