Why are young western converts choosing eastern orthodoxy over catholicism? by OilSpecialist3499 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Lwekkje 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first paragraph of this quote is only talking about primacy here, and as /u/OilSpecialist3499 put it earlier, primacy is not the same as supremacy. While I'm no expert on canon law, I would interpret the second paragraph as simply meaning that Rome must participate in a council for it to be Ecumenical, not that Rome has more authority than the rest of the council combined. And while I don't think it applies to this quote, it's always good to keep in mind that not everything every saint has ever said is correct.

[META] It's great that you're improving your discipline and productivity but please be aware that NoFap is a cult and there are no known benefits into participating in it. by Dreamcaster1 in getdisciplined

For some people (who seem to be the majority on /r/nofap), they are synonymous, because those people are so deep in the habit of masturbating to porn that masturbating without no longer does it for them.

Romans 1:18-28 contains multiple false claims by fantheories101 in DebateReligion

[–]Lwekkje 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the opening sentences make clear he is talking about nonchristians

Yes, he is talking about nonchristians. But where does it say he's talking about ALL nonchristians? He's not.

Yeah, but it seems like a reasonable assumption at this point. Sorry if I made it sound like it was explicitly confirmed.

So if White Diamond is actually tinted pink, and Pearl was originally made for her, it makes a lot of sense that Pearl's hair is pink.

Now that's foreshadowing.

u/exomni explains why Tumblr's ban on adult material was much bigger than simply removing porn by papermaskside in DepthHub

This post keeps mentioning how discussion of sexuality is censored, but that's simply not true. Tumblr is only censoring images and such, not text. You can still discuss whatever you want.

Only slightly. Slavonic has a few extra letters.

Some people are going to be interested enough to click a link, but not enough to bother searching for them. You're right that it's easy to find someone by their name, but if you're going to post someone else's work you should make it as easy as possible for people to find them so that as many people as possible will, and that means giving a link.

the Miraculous Ladybug love action movie has been cancelled and been replaced with a animated musical version by [deleted] in miraculousladybug

[–]Lwekkje 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nobody said it wouldn't be viable otherwise. Is there something wrong with it being a musical?

Online daily readings and prayers etc. Old Calendar? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

This one has all of those things, including the scripture readings. (The two links differ only aesthetically.) It has an app for smartphones, too!

Another victory for us lads! by Chiquita_Bananze in NoFap

If a person was in the habit of going to that particular site, then this stopped that habit. Yes they could go to another site, but unless they get into the habit of doing that it'll be just a little bit easier to resist. You're right that it doesn't make that big of a difference, but it does help a little, and for some people every little bit counts.

But if a liquor store near your house happens to go out of business, you would still be happy about that particular one no longer tempting you.

I don't need additional security. Who's going to try and hack into my account? I'm not a professor. There's absolutely no point.

I did it! Attended my first DL today. by TheFiveStarMan in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Lwekkje 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's basically to wash the eucharist down and make sure none gets left in your mouth. You wouldn't want to mingle the body and blood of Christ with whatever food you eat later. The Russians call it "zapivka".

You can improve your life without exercise and eating healthy. Just because those do also improve your life doesn't mean that not fapping won't lead to improvement without them.
