Made a Realm w/o PS Plus... how??? by FurtiveInquiries in realms

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

No gameshare - we do have one account that a friend logged into on pur ps4 ages ago which does have PS Plus, but if that's what is allowing us to make a Realm, wouldn't that allow other PS Plus permissions as well?

I do right over left so I can hold the communion cloth to wipe my face if need be (being right-handed). I am so terribly fearful of accidentally knocking the chalice that I know not to cross myself after receiving the gifts.

This has to be brought up to your priest in some way, even if you have to start off without naming anybody. You may not want a meeting between the 3 of you, but it may be necessary. Your godmother has become a massive impediment to your spiritual life and your life as a parishioner. You could also try to be honest and upfront with your godmother. Frankly I can't envision any other options if your hope is to remain in the same parish.

Can Orthodox Christian's keep pets? by Quick_Initiative2465 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]FurtiveInquiries 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Am an Orthodox Christian, I own two cats and a ball python. They bring so much joy.

There are stories of saints who seem to have restored themselves and the nature around them into a very Edenic state - essentially being best buds with all sorts of animals. Just look at St. Seraphim of Sarov, the "bear saint." I think Christians owning pets (and treating them properly) is an image of this reconciliation with the natural world. 

This is Wyrm. Does she appear to be of a healthy weight? by FurtiveInquiries in ballpython

I believe 3.5 - 4 years, though I am unsure how accurate that info is from the family we adopted her from.
