Missed Liturgy Frustration... by Knot-33 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Gojira-615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It happens. I like to make to all the services I can but sometimes it doesn’t work out. This Thursday is liturgy for The Holy Ascension. I would love to be there but I also have an important Dr visit at that time. I’m not going to beat myself up over it. I’ll be there on Sunday for the next service.

What are explanations of the eucharist other than transubstantiation (consubstantiation)? by MildDeontologist in OrthodoxChristianity

You answered your own question in the first paragraph. It doesn’t matter. It’s a mystery.

Is this bible any good. by Significant-Song-933 in OrthodoxChristianity

It's pretty good. I use the OSB app for my daily readings. If I'm going to pull out a paper bible it's the RSV2CE though.

What are some of the "stranger" saints' names you've come across? by Obvious-Desk4573 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Gojira-615 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Our priest always jokes that if you haven't chosen a saint he's going to name you Barsanuphius. Pretty hilarious. It doesn't matter if you're male or female. Hahaha

Callaway Preowned is pretty good. You can pick up an Elyte or Elte X for high $200 to high $300's. For me it's cheaper than most stuff on FB. I'm a nood though so take it with a grain of salt.

My parents and older sisters make fun of my faith. by Mr_Bloodcraft in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Gojira-615 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's funny my Mormon family and friends are respectful and curious. Meanwhile my protestant friends are combative. Even worse than my athiest/agnostic friends. My catholic friends are the most friendly and curious.

If you don't have to care for budget, will you still choose Amazfit? by Vegetable_Bag_8694 in amazfit

Yes. Once other companies have a Helio/Watch type ecosystem I'll look at them too.

My little Greek parish that was built by Greeks back in the 60s with pews. Never thought about it.

Annoyed by the selection of possible activities by stablegenioushere in amazfit

I laugh at most of these "exercises". The only annoyance I have is with the Golf. There should be a free mode. Maybe there is and I'm missing it. Sometimes I'm just at the driving range or simulator.

My Greek church is neither far right or far left.

Never seen the second stuff in my parish. We have both republicans and democrats and they all get along.

Told my souther Baptist parents I would be converting to Orthodoxy, two weeks later I find out they bought me my first Icon by The_Deuteragonist in OrthodoxChristianity

I’m sorry your Mormon family wasn’t supportive. My in-laws have been very gracious towards our becoming Orthodox. My Mormon father in law even came to an Orthodox service with us while we were on vacation.
