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 have had a friend for several years, I have to cut her loose. I met her at church, she is a skinny little nervous person of 67. She has had all of the shots, all of them, and now has guess what, Covid, Covid with bad pnuemonia and her husband has a serious septic infection of the bloodstream, from no obvious wounds. Both of them, vaxed to the max. Its hard to pray for her, because she seems to have a death wish. The type of person who is convinced because of science, she was an entomologist,(bug science), and her husband was a high school chemistry teacher. She never met a pill she didnt like. I dont think she is going to get through this. Chrons disease, steroids for years, skin brushes off like a birch shedding bark. My other friend and I, have been advising her about diet, supplements, herbal remedies, etc. It is hard to watch a person willfully fading away and so sick while that is happening. She stopped going to church because she is such a "scientist". "God cannot be real with all the suffering in the world". Its a shame because she has a good heart and is kind. Wheat from chafe people, wheat from chafe, Very unpleasant to witness up close and personal.
It’s not about being a decent person, oddly enough… it’s about being faithful and not worshipping idols - which includes not expecting salvation from them.
Scientism is idolatry.
prayer works. she's a child of God and doesn't deserve to suffer, this makes me sad to hear
you are right, I have a combination of anger and sadness about her, its so frustrating to know someone who tells all their friends of how sick she always gets, but does not heed their advice. She knows a lot of natural healers as friends, and we have all been advising her for years, I asked her why she had trust in the shots when she comes down with Covid everytime, she didnt speak to me or our other friend for months.
