@TheNewCatacombs Oooor... Stick with me here... That priests are human, and humans are fallible, therefore, don't hold priests to impossible standards as if they are Jesus.
My own priest doesn't fast perfectly, but they, Like us, are doing their best, even if the best they have that day is 10%
In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸
@ErikKron9@thaddeusthought Convert here. My motivation was finding the churches that, as closely as possible, follow what the apostles and their followers practiced after the events of the Bible. I've yet to meet any convert that came bc of hating Western culture or societal corruption of the West.
@ManassehRJones "When you get the cremated ashes of a loved one and spread them out, and the wind blows in your face, did you just inhale their private parts? Their butt? Their taint? An ear?"
@ThrillaRilla369 If I believed the world had a future for our children, I would. However, I knew by age 14 schooling was horrible, home schooling wasn't much better, and being a result of that product, I couldn't see myself raising a child with my & the world's baggage. So work it is.
@thaddeusthought My favorite and most feared icon of Christ.
Many attempts to replicate it, but only prints of the original show both sides... And when I'm "doing good" the whole face is a kind look, when I'm selfish, it's contempt... When I'm somewhere between so is it... And it makes me weep.
@BreeSolstad We all come with our sins and our father's didn't turn us away when we inquired - do you really think priests should turn away the sick from the spiritual hospital?
@DefiantBaptist@pearlythingz Except, as a woman, I can go to my priest about things my husband is doing or is asking me to do and the Father will tell me, AND MY HUSBAND, that my husband should not do some things - Marriage isn't two people, they are one in the eyes of the church - far as I know
@hairgeek60@FrLillie Pretty sure God is glad I'm trying, and that I'm not wearing jeans. I'll wear dresses and skirts when I can afford to throw out my entire wardrobe.
@EtrustMatthew@FrLillie Before becoming Orthodox, I worked a blue collar job where the uniform was shirts and jeans, I am about to lose my job. I'm sure God doesn't want me to waste my money on purchasing dresses and skirts right now & is glad I'm trying to do and be better right now.
