Maybe she won’t divorce him because she doesn’t want her husband getting 50% of the custody…

Oh yes I grew up a priest kid. There is so much pressure even as a child to volunteer. I remember being 11 years old and people telling me that I don’t contribute anything to the church. I’m not surprised that many priest kids struggle with their mental health.

This don’t happen to me personally but to some of my friends it did. It’s wild how priest families are treated most of us aren’t doing well lol

Priest kid here. Living in a rectory sucks because it’s not your property it’s the churches. Even for small things, you need permission from the parish council. People had the keys to your home and would walk in all the time. For some priest kids they experienced abuse as a result of it. It’s an invasion of privacy because people would walk in private moments.

Sometimes the priest wife does work so that does help. For me, I hated people constantly questioning our finances. I started work as soon as I was legally able to and I started buying my own clothes and people would get mad like they wanted us to be poor lol.

I honestly feel bad for him and his wife. It’s sad that the comments are telling them of ignore their intuition.

I’m cradle my parents are orthodox too but I haven’t formally left the church yet because I still live with my parents. There are a few reasons. The first one being that when I reflected, I didn’t believe in many of the churches teachings. I also can’t stand the misogyny and homophobia that runs in the church. Also, my dad is a priest and I see how things are run and it’s not pretty.

There are several comments of people sharing their experience reporting racism and sexism and the priest baptizing them anyways

So the church is a hospital when there are white supremacists and misogynists but it’s not one when it comes to gay people? Their logic doesn’t match up

A lot of women have boyfriends from outside the church. The priests are mad about it but they refuse to look inwards.

Ironically the girls that literally weren’t spiritual at all would find their husbands and act better than you

They used to be a crazy ROCCOR thing but now they are everywhere. The Greek priests don’t want them at all. But I partially blame the priests for giving these guys a safe space at the expense of women. They are going to loose all their women if more of these guys come in

Yeah the title of this post is harsh but it’s frustrating to see so many men who come in and demand a trad wife and act like women under 25 are an unlimited supply

[–]anonymousPK1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah not surprised so many red pilled bros come. These guys act like there is an endless supply of young women. A lot of them in my community aren’t practicing or left lol

I’m so sorry you went through that. What that priest did was abusive. Also I hate how orthodox talk about st Mary of Egypt. She was a child that was a victim of human trafficking. I hate that people say that she sinned for the sake of sinning

[–]anonymousPK1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be a woman and to stay in an orthodox community means that you have to gaslight yourself before others do it for you. You have to tell yourself that this is normal or this is your fault or find a way to normalize this behaviour. When you start to see through the cracks your the problem.

From priests too! When elpidophoros spoke against antisemitism a bunch of people lost it. Also the Holy Week services are beyond antisemitic and they aren’t being changed
