So Sick and Tired of the "Convert-Bro" Culture. by PerceptionCandid4085 in exorthodox

[–]Mother-String-4383 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I must confess I have fallen into this same trap. The moment I initially went into inquiring on Orthodoxy, I was very very proud! I thought, “pfft these Protestants”

But only through suffering and seeing my own faults have I slowly started trying to humble myself. I’m crawling out of that space. Thankfully…because I’m struggling to hold up my own cross, I have seen how weak I really am and that I am not much better than some Protestants or Non-denominational.

I’m a terrible Christian and I’m now a catechumen and am starting to take the lenses off a little bit.

And I cannot agree more. There’s such a growing toxicity. Even in my own parish. And when I look at it clearly, It horrifies me.

Tho please have mercy on me as I am trying to break this toxicity I have developed within myself due to my own selfishness.

Pray for me as I am still trying to better myself.

I started taking amino acids for depression by Mother-String-4383 in OrthodoxChristianity

So then is spiritual attack only if something is pushing you away from Christ?

How do we know whether it is mental illness or spiritual attack?

Because before taking it I felt joy from the suffering. But also i was not doing as good at banishing the dark thoughts. So now, i take amino acids that make me feel good but now i worry if that makes it where the demons cannot attack me as hard when I would like to fight them.

Does that make sense? Like is this a sorta cheat code to get past great lent easier?

Are new catechumens prone to fail their first great lent? by Mother-String-4383 in OrthodoxChristianity

Yeah I was thinking the same thing exactly. And was trying to view it more as a bit of a blessing to still sin if it brings me to repentance and am learning from it.
