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.

"Take up the cross, and follow Me." — Mark 10:21
You have not the making of your own cross, although unbelief is a master carpenter at cross-making; neither are you permitted to choose your own cross, although self-will would fain be lord and master; but your cross is prepared and appointed for you by divine love, and you are cheerfully to accept it; you are to take up the cross as your chosen badge and burden, and not to stand cavilling at it. This night Jesus bids you submit your shoulder to His easy yoke. Do not kick at it in petulance, or trample on it in vain-glory, or fall under it in despair, or run away from it in fear, but take it up like a true follower of Jesus. Jesus was a cross-bearer; He leads the way in the path of sorrow. Surely you could not desire a better guide! And if He carried a cross, what nobler burden would you desire? The Via Crucis is the way of safety; fear not to tread its thorny paths.
Beloved, the cross is not made of feathers, or lined with velvet, it is heavy and galling to disobedient shoulders; but it is not an iron cross, though your fears have painted it with iron colours, it is a wooden cross, and a man can carry it, for the Man of sorrows tried the load. Take up your cross, and by the power of the Spirit of God you will soon be so in love with it, that like Moses, you would not exchange the reproach of Christ for all the treasures of Egypt. Remember that Jesus carried it, and it will smell sweetly; remember that it will soon be followed by the crown, and the thought of the coming weight of glory will greatly lighten the present heaviness of trouble. The Lord help you to bow your spirit in submission to the divine will ere you fall asleep this night, that waking with to-morrow's sun, you may go forth to the day's cross with the holy and submissive spirit which becomes a follower of the Crucified.
I am reading in several places where people say that those pardoned by Biden can't claim the 5th amendment, and therefore will be forced to tell everything they know. The problem with that is it assumed they will tell the truth once on the stand. What would prevent them from just lying when on a witness stand? (if their lies can't be proven, then they can't be charged with perjury, correct?)
I had a lawyer once tell me, "If they can lie better than you can tell the truth, they will win."
A good Biblical Principle is to pray for your enemies. A percentage of them will repent and if the DS cannot remove them from the equation they will have no choice but to do Gods will. From the ranks of the most corrupt how many would be needed?
Anyone can lie, but most will get caught one way or another in perjury
The pardons protect them from Federal prosecution... they can still be tried by States, right?

It's a restoration rather than a destruction, noob.

I think that people here are allowing themselves to relax a bit, as the Trump team is finally implementing their long promised scorched earth operations.
It is definitely the place for Q-related discussions and we encourage our users to up the game on that and provide deep digs and analysis for whatever Q-related conspiracy theories they want to discuss.
Where is the Epstein list!!!! We are ready!!!
Yeah, the Day 1 was let down. But they're twisting the knife in the scumbags for maximum pain & suffering I'm good with that.

'The war of the Seeds'
Gen. 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”
This is the promise of the 'Messiah', but also the prophecy of a war between the line of the 'Messiah' & the line of the serpent that will lead to the Beast/ antichrist.
Gen. 6:1 Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.
3 And the Lord said, “My Spirit shall not strive[a] with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” 4 There were [b]giants on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
This was the beginning of the seed of the serpent, the mixing of angel & human DNA. This produced the 'Nephilim'. The plan was corrupt the DNA of mankind and therefore stop the line/ seed of the Messiah. The flood stopped the plan by saving Noah and his family.
Gen.6 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, ( after the flood) when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men(Hebrew גברים Giborim Literally, "heroes, mighty ones,) which were of old, men of renown.
There are 2 plausible ways this happened, 1) Ham's wife had the Nephilim gene, 2) There was 2nd incursion of fallen angels.
Ham> Cush> Gen. 10:8 And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one( Giborim, same as Gen. 6) in the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
11 Out of that land went forth Asshur(Assyria,) and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,
12 And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.(More on Nimrod later)
Zecharia Sitchen says that some Old Testament stories are a recounting of stories on Cuneiform tablets, attributed to different "heroes" or possibly the same people called by different names. If we can by honest, reverent and open minded, we can sort this out.

Asking again for those who didn't see this question the other day.
List all the movies you would recommend. They can be old, new, any genre (except horror). List as many as you care to. And please list the year or actors as so many movies share the same name. CaptainQuip listed a whole bunch for me, but you might have some different suggestions. Thanks!
