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.

1 John 4:9-11
In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 10 In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another
Amen ❤️

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (April 25th)
"If any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him." — Revelation 3:20
What is your desire this evening? Is it set upon heavenly things? Do you long to enjoy the high doctrine of eternal love? Do you desire liberty in very close communion with God? Do you aspire to know the heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths? Then you must draw near to Jesus; you must get a clear sight of Him in His preciousness and completeness: you must view Him in His work, in His offices, in His person. He who understands Christ, receives an anointing from the Holy One, by which He knows all things. Christ is the great master-key of all the chambers of God: there is no treasure-house of God which will not open and yield up all its wealth to the soul that lives near to Jesus. Are you saying, "O that He would dwell in my bosom?" "Would that He would make my heart His dwelling-place for ever"? Open the door, beloved, and He will come into your souls. He has long been knocking, and all with this object, that He may sup with you, and you with Him. He sups with you because you find the house or the heart, and you with Him because He brings the provision. He could not sup with you if it were not in your heart, you finding the house; nor could you sup with Him, for you have a bare cupboard, if He did not bring provision with Him. Fling wide, then, the portals of your soul. He will come with that love which you long to feel; He will come with that joy into which you cannot work your poor depressed spirit; He will bring the peace which now you have not; He will come with His flagons of wine and sweet apples of love, and cheer you till you have no other sickness but that of "love o'erpowering, love divine." Only open the door to Him, drive out His enemies, give Him the keys of your heart, and He will dwell there for ever. Oh, wondrous love, that brings such a guest to dwell in such a heart!

The one Muslims call the Mahdi has appeared
Luke 21:36 Be vigilant at all times and pray (If you watch you'll pray)
There’s been several dudes claiming things like that, and “True King of England” and “Messiah of the Jews” for … starting around 2017.
Something is going on with this.
This has been going on throughout all of history.
The only point where it was especially relevant was before the destruction of the second Temple when the Messiah was prophesied to come.... And Jesus did. But at the same time there were many other people claiming to be the Messiah.
I’ve heard that there are always multiple antichrists ready and waiting to be deployed depending on where things go…
Dunno how true that is or isn’t,
You hear a lot of things but we are instructed to test everything with scripture.
100%. I have no idea where that claim comes from.
ruggggggg againnnnn
idk whats happe-ninnnnnn
can, you seeeeeee
will i get transparencyyyyyyy

If we had to come up with rescuing the World, one Nation at a time. Id shoot a giant movie and gradually assign every one a role to play. We would move from the old financial system to a new stable financial system. We would simultaneously rebuild the strong family and Community. We are watching a Movie after all. It would be a NEW Beginning and a time for great opportunities for people young & old, poor and rich. There would be three phases. The stabilizing, the regrouping, the rebuilding. The people who are instrumental in the stabilizing and regrouping. Will be at the top of the list of the Architects for the rebuilding. The more you give to the Great Awakening in the beginning, the more you get back later on.
I watched "Hacksaw Ridge" a couple of days ago. It is awesome! It was directed by Mel Gibson, so you know it shows the brutality of war in gory detail, but that is how it was! This is a true story and amazing. A conscientious objector weathers the harassment of basic training to move on to greatness. I won't give any more away, but unless the violence is too much for you, it is a great story! I watched "The Last Samurai" last night, and also a great movie, but I don't know how much actual history it is based on.
I’ll check it out, thanks for the review. I’m kinda weird I like war movies, both historical ones with swords & with modern weapons. You can’t go wrong with Mel Gibson in front or behind the camera. I started watching The Last SamuraiI and turned it off. I have to be in the right mood for subtitles. I like romcoms occasionally. I prefer historical & britbox type tv series. I wonder why tv series from UK & Spanish are better. Seems like they have more depth and less drama.

This is wonderful! I have a soft spot for Ireland & Scotland because it’s part of my DNA. I pray every country is taking back by the working citizens.
Does anybody have reliable sources regarding the measles epidemic in Texas? I’ve heard that one of the children that died. It was not because of that reason. Just looking for some kind of information on how many children have actually died. What’s the real story. I need it to refute somebody’s claim that children are dying.
I did a search… here’s my thread.

DID DISEASES DECLINE BECAUSE OF VACCINES? NOT ACCORDING TO HISTORY…
“VACCINATION DOES NOT ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPRESSIVE DECLINES IN MORTALITY SEEN IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE CENTURY…NEARLY 90% OF THE DECLINE IN INFECTIOUS DISEASE MORTALITY AMONG US CHILDREN OCCURRED BEFORE 1940, WHEN FEW ANTIBIOTICS OR VACCINES WERE AVAILABLE.” —

Thoughts? 🧐🤔
Isn’t it strange, how they never vaccinated the illegals. Catch and release, but no vaccinations. Even at the height of COVID. Why is that?
Does anyone have a list of all the transgenders that suddenly became involved with things during Obama’s era?
Everyone knows Michelle. Not as many talk about Susan Rice. The DSM got rewritten under Obama. Transgenderism became highly subsidized.
This whole subject is probably worth a good deep dig down the right holes.
Bruce Jenner!
I’m old enough to remember him being a big name athlete. It’s so sad he went from being a strong man to a weirdo. I feel like getting involved with the Kardashians was the start of his downfall. But, who knows he could have lived a double life. Sure would have been easier in the 70s & 80s with out modern day technology of tracking & a phone in every hand.
Ironically, a Republican.
Maybe the ones that are ridiculous are exposure ops for all the ones that aren’t (Barbara Bush, Susan Rice, Bill Gates’ wife, etc)
