@OfOttawa@JayDyer Theology and debates was the only reason I watched, but it will be much better for him to move on. You can tell he doesn’t enjoy it anymore and it’s sorta a revolving door. I will only watch if I find the topic interesting now, but it’s more rewarding for him 2 b happy.

@JulietRedbird@Eleanor1589539 Get your ducks in a row. You may not be able to help it mentally and sometimes physically, but if you become a DNR you may be spared. Depends. Husbands granddad said the same. He did not have a DNR and was resuscitated. Now he cannot speak and has the abilities of a 4 year old.
@JayDyer Priest gifted me an icon first visit and showed me the Church where I learned I was not exactly innovative, but I learned I was in the right place finally,
@JayDyer When I was a non denom teenager I often struggled in prayer. Since I never heard of Orthodoxy I came up with the concept of an icon wall. I drew pictures of the Theotokos and of Christ and hung them on my wall. I lit candles and what not. Prayed there. I am Orthodox now obvi😂
Many years ago, Fr. Isaac Atallah, a disciple of St. Paisios, was asked whether video players were a blessing or a curse. His answer was simple: "The device has an on/off switch. When it harms you, turn it off."
The same principle applies today.
And JESUS LOVED / LOVES MARY…
She is not “just another woman” — a view NO ONE ever held … until Protestants in the past 2 centuries.
And so… if you do not honor her… you do not obey Christ.
ALL CHRISTIANS FOR 2000 years loved and honored Mary as the UNTRODDEN PORTAL and UNCUT MOUNTAIN …
So, so, sad that you care so little not only for the LORD’S OWN MOTHER (!!) but for so many holy ones before us who honored and loved HER…
Who are you, sir, to be so proud and disdainful of so great a cloud of witnesses??
Do you not at least understand that you will have NO PLACE among them in heaven if you do not follow them and imitate them???
@WalrusMegazord@KalebAtlanta I agree, she is concerned with Christians agreeing that a woman should be submissive to her husband all while she lives a very modern feminist life. Then she demands other women be traditional when she is a girl boss. Where is her husband? Who does she submit to? CRAZY WORK!
@WalrusMegazord@KalebAtlanta I believe she said that women have the devil in them.. I agree, she’s making money off these disgruntled men by telling them everything they want to hear. I think she also enjoys the attention she receives from men in return. She’s unconventional, but these men eat it up.
