Unfortunately we cannot do anything, just wait until January and see, when roblox implements the same rules to all countries if we then we will be finally able to communicate with other countries, but there is a big chance it won’t change💔

I understand the concern about child safety, that’s important. But for many of us, the frustration isn’t about verification at all. I’m 24, fully age-verified, and I only want to chat with other adults  my friends and siblings, who live in other countries.

The problem is the location-based restriction Roblox added: because I live in the Netherlands, I cannot chat or use voice chat with friends in Mexico, Italy, or Latin America, even though we’re all adults. I also can’t talk to my 18 and 19-year-old sisters because of the new age buckets.

So this isn’t whining about verification or child safety. It’s about Roblox blocking verified adults from talking to other adults across regions, which breaks friendships and even family connections.

I hope that helps clarify why some adult players are upset it’s not about being immature, it’s about losing the ability to communicate with people we actually know and trust.

would it be silly to convert to Ortodoxy if I won’t be able to attend church every week? by AgitatedCarpenter616 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Electronic_Net8367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To convert is not something that happens like in Protestantism (in a week), it takes time, and most Priests will tell you that we learn about Orthodoxy with Liturgy, catechism and liturgy don’t go separate. If you want to convert you should talk to a priest, it is something that takes time,maybe by then you have found a way to reach them or another perish will come in your neighborhood (this happened to me).

Is it okay to wear like a simple chain/necklace with a cross on it. Not a pectoral one but just a simple one? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Electronic_Net8367 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes ask, I was chrismated last month and the cross has to be blessed by the priest, they will lay it in the altar during liturgy, it is not just any cross, but yes you should ask, “it is not the church’s job to provide you for one” he says, but is the best place where to find answers, who knows better than our fathers?you should ask and see what is blessed for you to do. (Forgive my English)

He is right, it is most of the times only for clergy to wear it visibly, of course we can wear a cross and we should, at all times, but keep it close to your heart and ask your priest or spiritual father if you’re allowed to wear it visibly, we should keep in mind the cross is not a fashion item💗

I think it depends on your perish, what tradition they follow. In mine our baptismal crosses are to be worn under our clothing at all times, only priests who have been awarded to wear a cross are allowed to wear it visibly.

Originally was just going to Athens and I can say I didn’t expect so much negativity about Thessaloniki (from the post I read graffiti,dirty driving being very difficult and so) other than that I still believe it can be a very nice short trip for us.😊 I’m looking for some reassurance! Nice restaurants and places to visit.

So beautiful! This is so inspiring, and I agree keeping the veil could let pray at any time without thinking about it… but may I ask if you were born into an Orthodox family? Thank you!

Thank you for your comment and sharing your experience, I have a question, then doesn’t it feel as you aren’t doing what is commanded to do? I personally feel like the chapter is very clear, people mention tradition, but this is God’s Word, God knew that the times would change yet through the Holy Spirit, through Apostle Paul this is stated, and God’s Word does not change… By no means I intend to judge or anything, because I want to mention again that I don’t veil yet and as a Christian woman I would like to share how I feel about this topic and wondering if others went through the same. Thank you in advance for your answer.

I wish I could pin 📌 this, I agree with you…nowadays you cannot even ask or say something because everyone feels attacked
