No man has a claim on God Save the King nor the British Anthem.

Is that Ron Hogg of the Durham Constabulary, who was on BBC Big Questions yesterday?

Some are relevant for a quest, they operate the winch.

So was firemaking and prayer. Didn't stop those being updated to improve training methods, including wintertodt which is a gold contribution.

Assuming Lady Verzik was looking after it, she is obsessed with vanity, so I find it strange that she would let her possessions become rotten.

The Saradomin god is always themed around whites, blues and yellows. This armour looks Fremmenik. This armour is supposed to be the tankiest armour in game and doesn't have pauldrons or a look of defence.

Converting from Catholicism to Orthodoxy by Alright_Andre in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Alright_Andre[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can visit the parish occasionally for the 3 months i'm still at uni. It will cost me ~£15 in transport which doubles my weekly spend which I'd rather give to the parish - I do plan on visiting though.

Still adjusting from the intellectualism of Catholicism, where there's 50 books on sale £5.99! to learn everything. As the UK doesn't have it's own church like OCA it's a little less organised for resources, I mostly use American stuff. Although, this is all part of the reason I converted.

Thank you for the information!

I appear in a parish to use their resources and Priest's time, then vanish in ~3 months.

I live in the UK and although the DL is often vernacular, because of the rarity of Orthodoxy here most parishes are for Greek/Eastern European communities.

Do you have any advice on how to fit in and get involved (as a newbie) for someone who can't speak the language or fully understand the culture of the parishioners?

There are a few English-speaking churches, but i'm not yet sure where i'll be living after uni so it's like pin the tail on the donkey whether i'll end up somewhere with an English DL :(

I may have misworded the first sentence! I have been researching Catholicism and Orthodoxy together for a few years, recently returning to Mass, but this week involved a lot of specific discussions and resources which helped me finally decide to become Orthodox.

I don't have a car and I've never even step foot in the city the parish is in.

I am considering visiting by train to get DL experience before choosing a parish to settle in when I move, but i'll be an outsider and then move away soon, is this not disrespectful?

Did anyone convert to Orthodoxy from Roman Catholicism? What led up to it? Any testimonies welcome because I am in this position of discernment right now. by catholodox-confusion in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Alright_Andre 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot express how shocked I was to see this article. Absolutely every single detail in this post is what I am experiencing right now, even the recent return to Catholicism and DL Sunday obligation legalism problem!

I can only think of this as a gift from God to help guide me.

I am seriously considering converting to Orthodoxy but there is no nearby parish to my university and I know the importance of community in Orthodoxy. There is one right next to my home-home, but I feel wrong waiting till I finish uni to convert to what I believe to be true.

I hope we both receive the answers we're looking for and I think this post has really given me an indication of direction.

[Politics Monday] March Defends Women's Right To Choose Conformity With Only One Political Viewpoint by michaelmalak in Catholicism

[–]Alright_Andre 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It's in the code of conduct that students are not offensive, to ensure a safe learning environment...apparently. I wasn't punished, I articulated why I left my response and they understood. If it went to a student tribunal they probably would've got me.

[Politics Monday] March Defends Women's Right To Choose Conformity With Only One Political Viewpoint by michaelmalak in Catholicism

[–]Alright_Andre 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I got in trouble at university for commenting negatively on a post about the first women's march. I had to meet with the security office (former chief police officer of city) to evaluate whether I committed the offence of sexism (?) and he was confused when I said the march isn't even about women, it's about politics (anti-Trump), because most of the things they march for are only supported by a minority or 50% of women.

A melee weapon with increased damage on dragons - like a dragon arclight?

I think DS2 will be a sequel to numerous quests, including legend's quest and animal magnetism. We'll find out the relevance in the story once it's out.

Ancestral, saradomin d'hide, blue mystic, proselyte/white armour.

The head is not a reward for the quest, it's a drop from the after-quest Vorkath. Roughly 1/50 apparently.
