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.

John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
A song to go with it.

Thank you I read these everyday.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (March 14th)
"Then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark." — Genesis 8:9
Wearied out with her wanderings, the dove returns at length to the ark as her only resting place. How heavily she flies-she will drop-she will never reach the ark! But she struggles on. Noah has been looking out for his dove all day long, and is ready to receive her. She has just strength to reach the edge of the ark, she can hardly alight upon it, and is ready to drop, when Noah puts forth his hand and pulls her in unto him. Mark that: "pulled her in unto him." She did not fly right in herself, but was too fearful, or too weary to do so. She flew as far as she could, and then he put forth his hand and pulled her in unto him. This act of mercy was shown to the wandering dove, and she was not chidden for her wanderings. Just as she was she was pulled into the ark. So you, seeking sinner, with all your sin, will be received. "Only return"-those are God's two gracious words-"only return." What! nothing else? No, "only return." She had no olive branch in her mouth this time, nothing at all but just herself and her wanderings; but it is "only return," and she does return, and Noah pulls her in. Fly, thou wanderer; fly thou fainting one, dove as thou art, though thou thinkest thyself to be black as the raven with the mire of sin, back, back to the Saviour. Every moment thou waitest does but increase thy misery; thine attempts to plume thyself and make thyself fit for Jesus are all vanity. Come thou to Him just as thou art. "Return, thou backsliding Israel." He does not say, "Return, thou repenting Israel" (there is such an invitation doubtless), but "thou backsliding one," as a backslider with all thy backslidings about thee, Return, return, return! Jesus is waiting for thee! He will stretch forth His hand and "pull thee in"-in to Himself, thy heart's true home.

Hello frens, so I had planned to go to Greenville NC today to shop & maybe eat. About thirty minutes ago hubby says a plane crashed & memorial drive (busy major street) is shut down. Not concerned about my plans changing! I just got on facebook to search for more info. I know most here don’t like fakebook, I don’t for many reasons, but at least you can find info with out msm propaganda.
So, I searched plane crash & couldn’t believe over the past week there’s been at least four planes crashed.
• 3/13, Mesquite Texas a small plane crashed killing one person.
• 3/12, MIRAMAR, Fla. (WFLA) — A small plane has made an emergency landing in a field near a Florida school, according to reports. NBC affiliate WTVJ reported that the crash happened in a field near Coconut Palm Elementary School Wednesday. No injuries have been reported.
• 3/10, Lancaster county PA, plane crashed into a retirement apartment community parking lot.
• 3/13, An American Airlines plane carrying 178 people caught fire on the tarmac after making an emergency landing at Denver International Airport Thursday evening, forcing many passengers to evacuate by climbing out onto a wing and with emergency slides. Airport officials said 12 passengers were taken to a hospital with minor injuries. The fire started just before 6 p.m. Mountain Time after the plane, a Boeing 737-800, diverted to the airport due to what appeared to be an engine issue.
That’s just what I found searching “plane crash” this morning on facebook. I don’t watch the news and haven’t had time to get on here daily over the past few weeks. I love to travel and fly, but will take my chances by car. I’ve always heard, flying is safer than driving. Well, that could be questionable at this point.
I found this post by a random person in the “plane crash” search. I know I won't die in an airplane crash! Unless an airplane crashes where I happen to be standing. I like those odds better. I’m 💯 in agreement. I’m not scared of dying and I’m certain where I’m going when I do. Just not trying to leave just yet.
Wow, what’s going on? Pilot era? Vax related? Air traffic controller era? Plane equipment issues? Sabotage?
This needs to be its own thread. Please repost and link.
I will later today, out running errands at the moment.
You post it? I don’t see one.
Here is a follow up on Robert Morris, former mega church pastor (and founder?) Of Gateway church in Southlake, TX. https://headlinesmart.com/former-megachurch-pastor-indicted-on-child-abuse-charges/
Tldr: indicted on 5 charges each could result in 20 yrs in prison
I need help frens. The name and graphs of the west coast pediatrician who tracked vaccinated vs unvaccinated kids in his practice? Thought I had saved this info but cannot find it. Thanks!
Found it- Dr Paul Thomas.
Anyone have the list of the proposed 15 min cities? I’m interested to see if any of these Midwest storms start demo tonight.
… went to pull in a list for us to peruse of existing government agencies, with an eye toward which ones we might like to keep, and it’s way worse than I thought…

Humor does not get lost on me, even on the battlefield. Comment on news article somebody called him "Elon Muskowitz" and I laughed. That's a new one. To me anyway.
A particularly angry leftie called him "Elaine Moist" on one site, and I laughed so hard.
Hahahaha!!!! oh that's great! lmao

I'm unfamiliar with this source.
Just a note, on Monday, March 17, Steven Crowder is fully ditching YouTube, in conjunction with Bongino going offline.
They’re going to make an all-day normie lineup on Rumble. Good step forward for us, seems like.
Fantastic!
