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.

Q has never made a single positive post about
Adolf Hitler
or
Nazis
Change My Mind
Plenty of posts where he calls out Jewish Deepstate/Israel
None condoning, celebrating, or championing Hitler/Nazis
Correct
Wait, what's going on with the Silwa endorsement?
Edit - Isn't Silwa the only Republican?
If we wait til midterms to vote out the criminals in congress and the senate, how are we going to celebrate 2026 as the 250th anniversary of the USA like Trump mentioned? There will still be corrupt judges, they will still be blocking everything if we’re to wait for all the right people to be in congress and the senate to vote to impeach them. There must be plans for something to happen in the next two months….possibly?
The Epstein Files 2025 A 2-Minute, No-Jargon Explainer (So your uncle stops yelling at Thanksgiving) ────────────────────────── What Everyone Wanted MAGA: “Day-1 full release! Client list! Videos!” Media: “Drop the raw files so we can scream headlines!” Victims: “Protect our names. Jail the real monsters.” What the Law Actually Says You CANNOT just hit “print.” Grand-jury testimony → sealed forever unless a judge says YES Victim names → federal crime to un-redact Ongoing cases → leak = criminals walk free → Three separate laws, zero loopholes. What Trump Actually Did Day 9 → Bondi orders “declassify everything legal” Day 44 → 33,400 redacted pages handed to Congress Day 178 → Files THREE public motions begging judges: “Please unseal the 2004 Florida grand jury.” Judges’ answer → NO. NO. NO. (That’s on the judges, not Trump.) The “100,000 secret pages” Myth 92 % = duplicates, crime-scene photos, sealed exhibits. 8 % = the exact stuff the three laws say “judge must approve.” Translation: no hidden button exists. Timeline in Plain English Feb 27 → White binders of old flight logs (recycled news) July 7 → Memo: “No client list exists.” July 17 → Trump posts: “Judges, open the testimony.” July 23, Aug 11, Aug 20 → Judges: “Denied.” Oct 31 → Still waiting on judges. One-Sentence Verdict Trump pulled every legal lever. Judges locked the vault. Delay = law, not cover-up. Copy-Paste This to the Group Chat “Trump asked judges 3 times to unseal Epstein evidence. They said no. He already released 33,400 safe pages. The rest is locked by federal law, not by him. End of story.” Save this page. When someone yells “Where’s the list?”, just forward the link. You’re welcome. 🍺
Good stuff. Worth a separate post if you add sauce links

Remember, Remember the 5th of November!!! I thought about this quote a couple of weeks ago then i also dreamed about it a few nights ago. Probably means nothing BUT WHAT IF!!!!
What's happening on the 5th? excitement needed
Its a quote from a movie, V for Vendetta. You seriously need to watch it before november 5th!!! Also this november 5th, there are rumors that crazy lefties plan on surrounding the white house. So we will see what happens
It's a poem about Guy Fawkes, a traitor to the British Crown who tried to blow up Parliament
Remember, Remember the 5th of November Gunpowder treason and plot I see no reason why gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.

Guy Fawkes is everything MAGA isn't. Traitor to his country, focused on destroying his broader Christian brothers in favor of Catholicism, only believes something because he's trying to get paid (land rights in exchange for his resistance). Imagine the opposite of Charlie Kirk.
I had checked this site last night, and then this morning I see a whole lot of new material. You guys are so cool.
I check this site 3 minutes ago. There is no new material. What is wrong with you all?? GIMME CONTENT !!!
LOL

"Ye shall not afflict any widow, or fatherless child. If thou afflict them in any wise, and they cry at all unto me, I will surely hear their cry; And my wrath shall wax hot, and I will kill you with the sword; and your wives shall be widows, and your children fatherless." Exodus 22:22-24
I suspect that the whole Diwali thing is being nudged into the narrative for a reason. It’s tied to Sikhism.
Guess who’s REAL good at following that commandment - like, way better than modern Christians.
I don't know about the Diwali thing, but it is sad that Christians are often less faithful to God's word than those who don't even believe in God. That is a scathing indictment. Apostasy is rampant in these last days. People are wrapped up in their own concerns, and do not seek after the heart of God.
Most Christians are cultural Christians who have never read any of the law or the prophets, they are wholly unaware that there are more laws written than just the ten commandments.
The ten commandments are the moral laws, this is one of the "social laws," it sits between "Thou shalt neither vex a stranger, nor oppress him: for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt," and "If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury." People love to bring up usury, but they ignore the rest.
While we do not live under the Levitical laws they reflect God's heart, and the one I shared is echoed in verses such as Deuteronomy 10:18, Psalm 68:5, and Malachi 3:5, showing God’s consistent character throughout scripture, and new testament writers even affirmed it, if only in spirit rather than letter of the law. An example, James wrote "If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world (James 1:26-27)." James understood God's character - compassion, justice, and defense of the oppressed - through the Levitical laws, and his heart was to please God.
Anyway, I just felt compelled to share that verse, most people are just looking for a feel good verse for the day, but I prefer ones that provoke self-examination. I hope it has been helpful and maybe someone needed to hear it.
God bless, fren.
As far as this, don’t mistake this theory for “all religions come to God”, but it’s possible that some religions might be a bit like a 6,000 year long instance of “The Telephone Game”. (Others are probably more like demons trying to lead people to destruction…)
Remember, it used to be very hard to write things down. Sometimes entire nations would be sacked, everyone in a place killed, languages changed due to conquest, etc. - all sorts of different “social earthquakes”.
Yet amid this, some small remnant, often of people too young to correctly remember all the details, do remember and know enough to keep doing some important parts. It seems entirely possible that scattered around the world are bits and pieces of truth, mangled through centuries of trials, who’ve come to call things by the wrong names while preserving and passing down traditions and teachings of doing some number of things the right way.
Not that wild of a thought considering that most Christians think God’s name is “God”.
Go check out the Sikh principles and religious festivals. It’s shocking.
What’s the meaning of their god’s name? How do they think of his existence?
It’s definitely just a theory, but it seems like one that could bear some really good fruit if correct. May be worth keeping an eye out for all the same, as at the very least it’s an opportunity to open further conversation with “come, let us reason together”.
It isn’t entirely impossible that fragments of truth have been preserved, even in traditions far removed from historic Christianity. Some religious practices or beliefs may contain echoes of ancient revelation, distorted over time by cultural shifts, oral transmission, or spiritual warfare.
It is written in the scriptures, “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.” (Romans 1:18-20). Even without special revelation, creation and conscience bear witness to Him. “For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.” (Romans 2:14-15). So it shouldn't surprise us if, across cultures and centuries, people have retained some understanding of moral order, divine holiness, or the need for sacrifice and purification, even if those truths are now embedded in syncretistic or idolatrous systems.
There is also historical possibility. During the reign of Solomon, many from across the ancient world came to hear his wisdom. It is possible some of that wisdom has filtered into distant cultures. After Pentecost, the gospel spread rapidly. Paul preached from Antioch to Ephesus, and Thomas carried the message to India, possibly influencing local communities there long before Western missions arrived. It’s conceivable that remnants of apostolic teaching could have blended over time with local beliefs, leaving behind cultural practices that feel meaningful or morally coherent, even if their theological foundation has shifted.
That said we must beware counterfeit spirituality. While we can acknowledge glimmers of truth such as the Sikh emphasis on one God, or Diwali’s celebration of light overcoming darkness, we must also discern when those symbols have been redirected away from the true God and toward false gods or self-redemption.
Still, these parallels can serve as bridges for gospel conversation. Just as Paul at Mars Hill used the Athenians’ "unknown god" as a starting point (Acts 17:23), we can honor the longing behind other traditions, such as the desire for purity, justice, light, and new beginnings, while pointing to Jesus as the fulfillment of all that humanity has dimly remembered or hoped for.
So no, I don’t believe “all roads lead to God.” However, God has been revealing Himself in various ways throughout history, and He still uses fragments of truth to draw people toward the fullness found only in Christ.
Yeah, I see the theory in the same way, as pointing toward a bridge for them to cross over, or back over, into proper understanding.
Also, on occasion, as a reminder to us where we’ve forgotten to pay attention to the scriptures of more appropriate realizations of them.
Frankly, I see the scriptures that same way for a lot of the rest of Christianity as well.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 - Test all things; hold fast that which is good.
Amen, and thank you for the conversation.
100%. I’ve been trying to get people to pay attention to it for a few years now since waking up to how we’ve been misled. It’s not easy, for sure.
Take Maccabees, for example. The Israelites went and slew the Greeks for putting pigs blood on the altar in the temple.
We are now the temple, and most Christians eat bacon, in spite of the fact that many of us have recently realized that parasites are a thing, “but we know better, now.”
And here’s me, doing the Moses thing, going back to Father and saying, “hey uh, I’m happy to be sent, but I can’t convince a deathly dehydrated man to drink water. What now?”
I know I’ve clearly been led by the Holy Spirit or I wouldn’t be here right now, but I have no idea how to hear, or know when I’ve heard, that my dumb mouth might know what to say.
I still have plenty of examination and circumcision of the heart left to accomplish, I guess…
Blessings!
Amen! 🙌
