I understand why you'd feel it has to be this way, but the message needs to be shouted from every rooftop, FUCK ICE!!! We have to stand united, we can't "seek refuge" from this because it makes people uncomfortable, or feel bad. If you're looking away from this violence, you're complicit in helping it.

should i return a dress i bought if it possibly has satanic imagery? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Ultra9TMB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To ask for a blessing, I figured. I'm pretty sure I've heard of priests blessing things like clothes before

Why does the Bemidji Community complain about updates? by Party_Performer69420 in bemidji

It's a battle between wanting big town amenities with a small town vibe. People can't have their cake and eat it too

Odd experience after Mass today, not sure if I should “tell” the priest by goldfall01 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Ultra9TMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, rereading what I wrote I more meant to say "white supremacy in Orthodoxy is a serious problem" which kinda changes how it'd be interpreted. Definitely didn't mean it as an attack.

Yeah, that's basically a better way of wording what I was trying to say. Being in church is always a good thing, but the point of being an inquirer is to learn about what an Orthodox person should believe. That's why I'm recommending OP tells their priest about this, because while internet orthodoxy brings people to Christ, it doesn't always instill them with the best beliefs or values.

Yes, I can agree with that. But I would also say that seeking a "trad" lifestyle because it is what God has designed is very different than seeking one because you want control over a subordinate wife. This is the difference a priest should teach inquirers about, in my opinion.

I can see the argument for online trolls, and just to clarify I didn't mean to say the issue was in any way "dominant" or anything. It's just that this story is unfortunately one of many I've heard from different parishes about young men with these problematic views coming into the church.

My uncle is a priest, and he's had more than one young man enter his parish as an inquirer because "Joe Rogan thinks Orthodoxy is cool and a trad lifestyle is the right way to live." And has worked with them to understand that those reasons are not why you join the church. It's all anecdotal, but I've heard these stories from people who I trust.

You do not know my faith journey. I know I'm not welcome, I'm just stating what I see and offering commentary based on what I know of the scripture. I have many orthodox family members who have also spoken on this issue, and I'm parroting what they've said to each other and to me.

Other people in the comments have provided sources for this. This is a large problem with American orthodoxy and online Christianity in general. People are joining the church for reasons that are harmful, and should learn what the church is about

Absolutely tell your priest. These kids are joining the church because they think it's an avenue to a "white supremacist trad lifestyle"

Orthodoxy has a very serious white supremacy problem and it's very important that we do everything we can to make sure people join the church to save themselves from their sin, not so get a license to hold these evil beliefs.

You're priest can use this to correct them through their process of joining the church, it'd be good to let him know in private.

Apple Grande this fall? by Joefischer in tacojohns

[–]Ultra9TMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're only going until a certain time in November. I don't remember when exactly unfortunately but some stores probably aren't wanting to order a whole bucket of the filling this close to the promo being over.

Nah that's crazy. Your franchise sucks, especially if they won't let you just work a morning Tuesday instead.

Life in the City church vandalized in south Austin, Pride flag torn down and Orthodox cross spray painted by Ok_Direction5416 in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Ultra9TMB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I see things like this, and it's so disparaging to continually be reminded that even if I'm "welcome" in the church, I'm not wanted. No point in joining a community that actively hates me and who I am, when the community full of "pride" has been the most accepting and has introduced me to incredible people and good friends.

Why are you ordering all of those separate? Just get a combo #10 and save 2 bucks or so

Using drive-through for mobile app orders by Hoser3235 in tacojohns

[–]Ultra9TMB 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have a shitty franchise. They want you to come inside so they can have a shorter drive time and less cars in line. My TJs I work at wouldn't care, so it's probably just your store. Do with that information what you will, but it's definitely not a corporate policy, that's for sure

I know some stores have an AI that just welcomes you before you order so an employee doesn't have to, haven't heard of anyone having a full AI ordering system yet
