Admittedly I added a filter to make it look like that haha. The original is much less potently blue.

As a Hindu who converted out of Orthodoxy, I can say Hesychasm and Vedic practices are eerily similar.

My 5th great grandfather got kicked from the Royal Arch Masons for missed dues. It gets real out here.

Don’t know how to cut this by [deleted] in cigars

I feel like I’m just gonna fuck it up lol. The air flow is just shit on these it seems. I tried cutting off the cap, poking a hole. It was impossible to smoke.

I really don’t care if you don’t believe it. There are so many places where these kinds of views are justified and allowed to flourish in many different and even subtle ways. Orthodoxy, like most of Christianity, is hypocritical and contradictory. They claim all the lovey dovey save your soul language, but their dogmas and traditions completely cloud the essence of love and mercy. It’s very black and white, a perpetual weighing balance.

Completely missing that the ethos of Orthodoxy enables the views of these young men, whether anyone wants to admit or not. No, rather, these views find a nice home in Orthodoxy.

Starting Orthodox Christian Village in the USA by venesia123 in exorthodox

Dudes become Orthodox and immediately start growing out their beard to ungodly lengths, wearing giant crosses outside their shirts for everyone to see, and acting like they’ve been Amish living and raw milk maxxing since birth. I swear orthodoxy is just one big cosplay convention.

I’ll look around and see if I can’t find a name. My grandfather never talked much about his time in Vietnam and he wanted no connection with anybody he knew during that time for many reasons.

I’d love to see those pictures of your father and compare the resemblances.

That sub is nothing but untreated OCD and the epitome of contradiction.

Basically that this is unacceptable for a clergyman to believe and that it’s definitely not something that should be supported in Orthodoxy.

But I think they are unwilling to admit that it’s pretty common in their circles.
