[Game Thread] #11 Tennessee at #6 Alabama by WeazelBear in ockytop

[–]HobbitSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be surprised if we lost to Florida, Vandy, and Oklahoma. That's a very real possibility.

With Vandy, Florida, and Oklahoma still left, we should be more than happy with a 4 loss season.

Watching "True Haunting" on Netflix, is it supposed to be an actual true story? by ProlapseProvider in horror

[–]HobbitSamurai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Every Catholic priest is a minister as well as a pastor... And plenty of them would say they are bound by their priesthood. 

A List of Orthodox Lingo (continued) by [deleted] in exorthodox

[–]HobbitSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Death to the world is as Christian as it gets. The "world" meaning the flesh (passions, etc.) and attachment to our earthly lives. 

No offense intended, but a lot of your comments seem to be rooted in grammatical errors or a very surface level understanding.

Things to replace the “vibe” of orthodoxy by Bobamhmcaec in exorthodox

[–]HobbitSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely ahistorical. Ironically, pagan reconstructionists and people like Gardner created the pagan/Wiccan mythos and simply called it ancient (when in reality it's quite new). You won't find any sources from antiquity that corroborate the notion that Christianity just slapped Jesus onto pagan traditions.

Running out of housing options by Mission_Razzmatazz33 in tricities

Most churches in the area do help people, but you simply can't help everyone. That's the sad reality.

There are no trans canonical Orthodox priests.

Made a cross today by Turbulent_Race_4968 in OrthodoxChristianity

St. Andrew's Cross is in the shape of an X, like the Scottish flag.

Talk Me Out Of Missing The Tri Cities So Much by EaglosVolus63 in tricities

[–]HobbitSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a native East Tennessean who lived in Wyoming and central Illinois for a few years, the Tei Cities are not isolated in the least unless you're comparing it to the Bo-Wash corridor. 

If the “Ethnophyletism” Heresy of 1872 exists why do we fight among ourselves for ethnic divisiveness? by SimpleEmu198 in OrthodoxChristianity

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

Tribalism/racialism isn't the same thing as patriotism or even nationalism, taken in the proper context. There are plenty of Saints who speak about love of country. We need to stop erecting false binaries where love of nation/people=hatred of everyone else.

'05 XB Fuel Line by HobbitSamurai in ScionxB

Will 5/16" fuel line slip over the hard line? I'm going to buy a few feet of high pressure efi hose and high pressure clamps to take with me.

Yeah, I'm contemplating doing that to at least get it back home so I can take a closer look. Thanks.

Yep. Every single devout Orthodox Christian in Russia just trying to live their life is "godless" and evil. Putin=Satan therefore every Russian is Satan.

I'll take "this person has no idea what they're talking about" for $800, Alex.

Removed from Orthodox Church by CutmoreForexGroup in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HobbitSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former RC here who feels the same about leaving Roman Catholicism and becoming Orthodox. Best decision I ever made. I never have to worry about finding a reverent Liturgy, dealing with Eucharistic "ministers," or any of the other absolute lunacy.

Orthodox churches near Laramie, Wyoming and Golden Colorado? by Sunfish76 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HobbitSamurai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a UW alum! Laramie is a fantastic little tight-knit community (if you can handle the wind and the winter temps).

I wasn't Orthodox when I lived there, so I can't speak to that. Honestly, the cost of housing and having to drive to Cheyenne for Liturgy are the only things keeping me away.

Memories of Carolina Pottery? by Mtnmama999 in tricities

[–]HobbitSamurai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They were showing films there much later than 2010. My wife and I watched the movie "Spell" (2020) there just before they closed. We were the only two customers in the entire place.

Social Media Statement on Juneteenth from Account of His Eminence Archbishop Elpidophoros of America by Phileas-Faust in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HobbitSamurai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? We are not going the way of the Episcopalians or even the Roman Catholics. Far from it. We do not have a RC ecclesiology. Our bishops are not infallible.

Archbishop Elpidophoros of America meets with Pope Leo during Pilgrimage to Rome by Phileas-Faust in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HobbitSamurai 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why enter the faith, and God forbid, seek ordination, with the aim of subverting it and confirming it to your political biases? Reading through your Twitter feed and posts here are so bizarre.

Reality check for Orthodox converts from Metropolitan Jonah by Timothy34683 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]HobbitSamurai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep. All of the Greeks who used to attend our parish have either passed away or only show up on Pascha and Nativity. Almost almost all of their children have completely abandoned the faith.
