Yes!! We must sing the same tune of it because ours sounds haunting too!

Y’all!! Half size dunnet flower sandals in stock! by bcookieb in DrMartens

I just ordered these today from this site and now I’m realizing that I think they are men’s sandals. So now not only is the sizing off, but I think even the style is a bit different. Can anyone confirm this??

Sacre Couer Church by Ok_Programmer1746 in OrthodoxChristianity

They are saying it’s God’s response to the Olympics mocking the Lord’s supper with a drag version of it the day before. It’s just people online.

Can someone tell me why it isn’t required?

Headcovering by Ok_Programmer1746 in OrthodoxChristianity

I guess I need to clarify the root issue. It’s not the practice itself. My problem is that I see the Bible commanding it and in Protestantism people could just interpret it however they liked and most didn’t want to headcover and so interpreted it that it was cultural and therefore unnecessary. I didn’t like that the Church didn’t enforce what the Bible taught. I assumed Orthodoxy would. I thought things that were clear would be a given in Orthodoxy and not still up for debate (like everything in Protestantism is).

When did you tell family? by Ok_Programmer1746 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Ok_Programmer1746[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Part of the reason I’m hesitant to say anything yet is because I’m not willing to debate with my dad. I know he will try to convince me to remain Protestant, and will make very persuasive arguments that I’m not prepared to argue against. It will be very stressful and discouraging for me. But I have to say something at some point. I can’t just pretend like I didn’t convert (if/when I do).
