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 was on the GAW, and I was going through the Q posts and I saw the "This is going to be Biblical" and someone on GAW said that Q meant it literally. This piqued my curiosity (I have been a lifelong atheist / agnostic).
Thats when someone mentioned Passion of the Christ and I knew there was so much controversy surrounding it, and I never understood why Mel Gibson was so hated after that. So I decided to watch it with my wife.
In the movie, it suddenly all clicked. I understood what was really bothering the Cabal. Jesus, who never got angry at anyone and was so compassionate, got mad at the money lenders and even used violence against them. It was the very same people who then hounded Pilate to crucify him.
I had just finished watching about the central banks and how they are oppressing us, and it just clicked that Jesus was fighting the very same evil - the bankers in his time - who oppressed people using their knowledge of money and debt.
This is the kind of highly specific detail that, if someone was making up the story about Jesus, could never have included in the Bible. It was not a coincidence, it was real. After that I decided to buy a Bible and once I finished reading all the Gospels I had no doubt in my heart.
So opposite to lot of people happened to me. I found Jesus from Q rather than the other way round.
Wow that’s amazing! I’m glad for you. I avoided watching Passion of the Christ for so long because of the brutality (maybe not correct word). I love watching historical shows fighting with swords and Viking type weapons. So maybe it was because of Christ and the brutality. I finally watched it about ten years ago & again in the last year. I’m excited for the movie.
The extreme cruelty was so hard to watch, but I think its important to watch it, because it gives a small glimpse into what Jesus had to suffer to save the world.
