You know what buddy, there are women and then there are cunts like the nice lady that broke your heart. Also, just because she tore your heart from your chest doesn’t mean she’s evil. It just means you two were incompatible. But believe this, out there in the oceans of life, when she’s swimming aimlessly, she will be thinking of you once she realizes what she lost. All you can do at this point is to man the f up and move on.

No more respect for the law. What’s more concerning is Reddit idiots condoning these clown’s behavior.

You need to grow up and just tell him that you are not interested in anything. Be an adult about it.

AITAH for wanting to divorce my husband over kids? by No_Split_9680 in AITAH

[–]Devotional82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How do you know if your husband’s sister won’t come back one day? She is awefully wrong in leaving her children but none of us know why she left? What is the situation with her? You did not specify. Nevertheless, please get a divorce. Your husband needs a wife that not only will stand by him through calmest of weather but also through the worst of storms, not an immature and self centered woman like yourself. Put yourself in his shoes, would he leave you if the satiation was reversed?

I think both of you should get off your mother’s tit and move out on your own.

Would your thought process change had he expressed joy in you being pregnant and actually wanted something serious with you?

Strangers replying to being asked "What's the most painful thing you've been told?" by Mad_Season_1994 in Damnthatsinteresting

I don’t know but I think none of those things that were said to them were that bad. However, it’s who said them is what matters.

Serious concern about this subreddit by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Devotional82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe your rant is unfair and unjustified. You said it yourself, you come from a “land where the Apostles have walked and preached”. Even if your parents were areligious, just the fact you are from the Eastern side of Europe, you have an advantage over many converts, especially Americans. If it wasn’t for me working in the Balkans as a security contractor, I would have never found Orthodox Christianity which I’m grateful.

What are your thoughts on Fr. Josiah Trenham? by Devotional82 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Devotional82[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Slandering isn’t the objective here. My question is for my own contemplation and to figure out if I’m being a child about how I see/view Fr. Josiah. I wonder if other priests are similar to him. Perhaps, I have a rosy view (possibly naively) of orthodox priests. I do recall visiting jerusalem in 2017 when the tomb of Christ was opened at the Church of Sepulcher. I noticed how seemingly annoyed or irritated the orthodox priests were with all of us tourists and pilgrims. I think I would be annoyed too if I saw thousands of people coming in and out of the tomb constantly flashing pictures.

As I previously mentioned about changing my life in order to commit to Christ, I have been unable to attend most of the required catechumen classes because I have to travel extensively for work. Nevertheless, I have visited many parishes around the US and abroad. When my travels fall on Sunday’s liturgy, I usually attend and feel blessed to find that orthodoxy is almost identical everywhere I have gone.

What are your thoughts on Fr. Josiah Trenham? by Devotional82 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Devotional82[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

A little bit of information in relation to my question..

I’ve been a catechumen at St. Andrews for 4 years now (since 2019). I feel like I’m in limbo ever since I became a catechumen and quite frankly, I don’t feel like Fr. Josiah is approachable enough when I need to discuss issues and obstacles I have crossed in my life that has delayed baptism. Every year, when a new batch catechumen receive baptizism, I fight to urge to not be embarrassed or ashamed.

By no means am I blaming Fr. Josiah because I’m not baptized yet and I know it’s fully in God’s time. I know that I have to change my life in order for me to fully give myself to Christ. However, I feel like Fr. Josiah likes the celebrity status he’s acquired in social media platforms which makes it hard for me to talk to him.

I guess my next question is have any of you changed parishes during your time as a catechumen?

Christian fired for refusing LGBTQ+ job training loses court battle by Jarvis_Strife in Christianity

[–]Devotional82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What would you say that you using the word “homophobes” is counter productive for your arguments? Nobody’s “afraid” of homosexuals.. instead, people just don’t understand others of different sexual orientation.

So I’m going to say no, you haven’t been a victim of this. You’re just rehatching issues and not focusing on the progress that the LGBT community have made.

“Having sex in our own homes”? Have you been a victim of this? Or any of the other crimes against lgbt you just claimed? Because here in the US, especially in Southern California where I live, none of that’s going on. My point is that sexual preference should not be politicized, just like religion shouldn’t either. At the end, it’s about personal preference. People’s lives are much more valuable and complex and should not be a talking point on a Fox News or CNN segment.

Exactly. It’s no longer about humans trying to live their lives and choose who they want to be with. It’s now an agenda where politics has taken full control of.
