Man, when I converted to Orthodoxy it was because I was convinced of its Truth, which is alive and beautiful and life bearing, not because it gave me a place to live out weird fantasies that seem to always come back to women, sexuality, and clothing.

[mike]

I'll be honest, I feel I'm the most confused in this thread.

Hey look, James, you got quoted in this thread! 

[Cyrillic]

If you believe that we are no longer taught through men in any sense, then through whom were you taught?

Nuns.

Welcome to marriage scooter. My wife often performs in community theater. Not entertaining neil simon stuff, musicals. Show tunes and all. A bunch of middle aged, never will be primadonnas prancing and screeching. I am there every opening night. I hate it. I love my wife, so I am there. My inlaws? My father in law is a very bigoted pentacostal minister. Last time he came over he shared with me intimate details of his sex life. I'd rather eat a bug than answer the phone when he calls. I love my wife so when she goes to visit. I go. When they visit. I entertain my father in law. You want to be married? You gotta show up for the marriage even if it makes your ears bleed.

From Vamrat:

I disagree with this "all things in moderation" fad.  I try not to get moderated on my posts...

Selam

[mabsoota]

ha ha ha! that is an awesome way of looking at moderation!

edit: and another quote re: pope benedict:

Maybe the Pope is resigning so he can become Orthodox

[Cyrillic]

Does the Pope get to eat meat during Lent?  He already gave up the Papacy for Lent.

mono or mia, either way you're slang for disease or disorder.

[Romaios]

Is it because there is not bling enough in Orthodoxy that ye seek bling elsewhere?

[PeterTheAleut]

He is anathematized, and under the condemnation of the last four Ecumenical Councils and all the Fathers of Orthodoxy.

You may erase him from your diptychs, but since you are not a bishop the erasure is of little import.

[Dominika]

Here is one of St. (in the Catholic Church, anyhow) Kolbe with the Theotokos and Christ. For the longest time I thought that was God the Father with glasses on.

It really made me laugh. Especially becasue Maximilian Kolber is very venerated in Poland

[minasoliman]

Ah, their new Anathema collection.

[minasoliman]

Maybe it's just the health profession in me, but my God, more than the possibly notorious use of crosses and icons as fashion, these women really need to eat.

PS LOL at choy's comment!

I guess we can ask two of these ladies to stand in front of our Paschal procession.  No need for banners on a pole.

[minasoliman]

Both Choy and CoptoGeek deserve to be quoted here:

sooooooo.....
.....how about that conclave, eh?

Have you signed your "March Madness: Sweet Sistine Papal Bracket"?  

Leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet's get ready to conclave!

Hey Gebre...what you can do is post the link to the actual post, but not the quote.  This way, people who don't have access won't be able to read it.

You know, a less freindly soul wpould point out that last year a photo of Tom Hanks taking part in a GO Good Friday procession was posted all over the orthodox net-world...but none of you kvetched that he "only did it for pubilicity". Could it be that some of the guys posting here have hade the same kind of fantasies about Miss Aniston that I've had about Tom Hanks?
get over it guys...
SHE"S NOT GOING TO MARRY ANY OF YOU

All of the College of Cardinal electors were appointed by either Pope Benedict XVI or Pope John Paul II.  Both popes were committed to the holiness of the Tridentine Mass.  I doubt that the next pope will retreat on their actions to promote regular parish celebration of the Tridentine Mass.

It is counter to the unity of the Roman Church to have two parallel Liturgies running side-by-side.  It only makes those heretic schismatics continue their charades and pretend to be part of the Church when they think everyone else outside of their delusional group as "invalid" and "heretic".

Your new church classifies all Latins as "heretic schismatics." why single out the sspx?

It's a position I held as a Roman Catholic and as an Ukrainian Catholic.  Why change now?

Hmmm ... hopefully your plan isn't to be one of those Orthodox who constantly have their fingers in the Catholic "pie". I think we have enough of that already with podkarpatska and ialmisry. 

Let me get this straight.  So you are, as an RC, posting on an Orthodox forum thus putting your fingers in the Orthodox "pie" by criticising an Orthodox Christian for having their finger in the "Catholic pie" by responding to RC claims posted on an Orthodox forum.

If we did not wear clothes, would you really want to sit in the same chair in which some one else just sat?

Side note: At the beginning of every school year, when discussing the dress code with my students, I always make the following announcement:

"To all of the gentle men who like to "sag" their pants, and to all of the ladies who like to wear short shorts, I would like to remind you that the chairs in this classroom are never washed. Consider that before selecting your outfit every morning."

[mabsoota]

 

sooooooo funny!

God help us if one of these is right, because the chances of successfully parsing this out are materially zero.

Or do you not know that Joe will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joes who have sex with Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe nor Joe will inherit the kingdom of God.

[Dominika]

Before Roman Catholics start using our lung, maybe they should try focusing on the cancerous outgrown known as protestantism in their own lung. 

And I definitely agree with that.

[Alpo]

Try not to be too harsh.  Understanding the human mind and heart is often a difficult and futile undertaking.  There is much that is beyond most of us.

Have you ever heard of pasadi?

[minasoliman]

Choy is no longer Catholic, but is not yet Orthodox.

This makes me feel like Britney Spears.

You have to be kidding. When it comes to absolutely silencing Protestants and RCs, no one can beat Pasadi's metaphors or scientific evidences.

*shrugs* Muhammed was wrong.

He sure was, but this does not change the fact that he established Islam in rivalry with Judaism: Mecca vs Jerusalem, Cube vs Temple, Ishmael vs Isaac, Islamic Law (Shariah) vs Mosaic Law....

Cube vs Temple is probably one of the  greatest lines ever uttered on OC.net.

[Cyrillic]

Any homemade remedies for a migraine?

If you have a wife - a wife.

I think he was looking for ways to heal migraines, not ways to get them...

I'm pretty sure normal folks outside of internet don't really bother to think "problems" like this. The only place this matters is Jerusalem where they have their annual olympics of Christian behaviour.

[mike]

I came to this website with the hopes of saving souls, and as far as I can tell I'm not doing a good job

[JamesR]

I'm confused. Especially with the thing about the aliens.

[Cyrillic]

you are correct that crossing ones self with three fingers, is a heresy;

[minasoliman]

Yeah, but they're lost. Because after Constantine, the Church became liturgical and started worshipping idols. The true Church--which consisted in random people with different beliefs coming together for 45 minutes every Sunday in someone's house for "Bible-studies"--was "forced underground" as the corrupted Constantinian Church started worshipping idols and indulging in all sorts of heretical doctrines like the literal presence, the concept of Sacraments, Monasticism and "traditions of man." The true Church wasn't rediscovered until the 16th century thanks to this German guy.
