I just want to share with you all my utter bewilderment due to Netodox talk about "Pascha". In Finnish language "paska" means "shit" so keeping straight face while listening to, say, English-language podcasts about Great Lent and upcoming Easter is rather hard task.
The word isn't a Netodox term... He is referring likely to a thread you missed, where many here were bemoaning the use of "Easter" and under which conditions one should use it, if ever.

The word isn't a Netodox term... You're probably correct but then again my only real-life exposure to Orthodoxy is in Finland so everything outside of that qualifies to "Netodoxy".  Also, I have sort of allergy to these devout loanwords from Eastern European Orthodox languages.

You know, I hear the word "LARP" used here more often than I do on the various video game/anime forums I visit or when I'm with my friends who are interested in the same.
Just an odd observation that popped into my head.

True story...
US Government: Dear NASA, we're cutting your funding substantially. NASA: No! How can you do this? We'll have to gut a bunch of programs! US Government: Too bad, so sad, boo hoo, screw you.
3 months later...
US Government: Dear NASA, you've been called before congress to explain your budgetary irregularities. We were shocked to find out that you were cutting some of your programs. Your incompetence is staggering. Care to explain yourselves?

Could everyone please leave the forum so that I know there will be no more posts so that I am not waiting up to see any new posts so I can finally get to bed so I can get up tomorrow on time because I'm going to be really tired now as it is without waiting up another hour for people to finish making their posts because there's a lot of people on here yet which is surprising for 2am but then that's eastern time so who knows but please if you would do me a favor and just log off so I can go to sleep ok great thank you and a good night to you ok bye!
Dude! Go to bed. Ok... I'm tired of waiting, I guess I will go to bed now... Wait your whole life. You'll never find a girl like me.

It is an education process for me as I learn about the psychology of spiritual apostasy. And others get the benefit of perhaps hearing righteousness for the first time.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.
