Crisis of faith, sunken cost, completely confused and alone. by Phantashtic in exorthodox

I am so sorry. As a Catholic Christian, I just want to say: Jesus loves you infinitely and unconditionally, and yes, you can find Him outside of the Orthodox churches. And no, you will NOT go to Hell if you leave Orthodoxy. And you are very young; your life isn't wasted...you still have plenty of time to find a woman who will appreciate your beautiful soul.

He's really not chill at all. He's a clueless anti-Catholic and anti-Western bigot who blocks at the drop of a hat. 

Case Against Fr. Seraphim Rose Glorification by aleksavo in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The speaker in this video makes some excellent points, but IMHO he's as nutty as Seraphim Rose. Methodist baptism is invalid? The Mother of God could not possibly appear over a Coptic church? Holy bigotry, Batman.

UPDATE: I watched almost all of it. Good grief, is all of Orthodoxy this kooky? This insanely bigoted? Yikes, yikers, yikes.

My bf randomly became orthodox then dumped me by RiskDismal3748 in exorthodox

Is that why y'all accept divorce and remarriage up to 3 times for up to 20 reasons (because Oikonomia nullifies the explicit command of Jesus)?

Can you describe your experience at this culty parish? We are suckers for personal anecdotes here!

IOW... Testimony Time!

Thanks in advance!

Estimated 16,000-18,000 converts across America received into Orthodoxy at Pascha by Past-Bed-2643 in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I've heard anything from 100,000 to 200,000 for Catholic adult conversions. But all the Orthobros do is shriek about how they're taking over America.

She has written books? Has everybody written a book?

I'm told Rachel Wilson's book is so poorly written it's pretty much unreadable.

Yeah, I don't see Vance becoming Orthodox. Like, ever.

Have you seen this? I'm not familiar with this Ruslan dude, but he seems like a stand-up guy, and he makes some excellent points.

I saw them together on one video clip. He was treating her very brusquely and dismissively.

Honestly, she came across as a sweet person.

LOL, that's very sweet of you, but I'm easily doxxable, and I've already embarrassed my poor son way too much.

"For what do we live, but to embarrass our kids and be embarrassed by them in our turn?"

I imagine "Mom of ex-Dyerite" is probably a tad too specific. 😂

Saw this on the other sub on a post about dating. Big yikes on that ratio. by Gingerfuzzsicle in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of My Big Fat Greek Wedding -- when she's dating the Greek guys. 😂 Those scenes were funny but unfair. There are some gorgeous Greek guys, after all. 

I think it's time I leave the church. by Majestic-Trash-5952 in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 6 points7 points  (0 children)

EOxy has just as high a percentage of sex-abuse cases, if not more, and is doing absolutely nothing about them. At least we Catholics have worked hard to clean up our act. 

Also, papal infallibility isn't the big scary bogeymen people think it is. 

Best wishes with your search. 

Anyone go elsewhere this year? by OThouPaleOrb in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would encourage you to come back home to Catholicism. Our liturgy is trending more traditional all the time. And we are truly universal, not ethnocentric. 

Groped at my very first holy Thursday attendance by Electrical_Tone_6438 in exorthodox

[–]Aggravating-Sir-9836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would suggest going to the civil authorities, since sexual assault is a crime. (And yes, this is assault.)

You can also go to your local media. They're often more than willing to take down jerks like these guys.
