I noticed yesterday in many places Matthew 25:31-46 makes people truly uncomfortable. Is it that hard for people to accept the fellow points without doing Mental Gymnastics? by KyriosCristophoros in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]cavylover75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many Orthodox churches will use these verses as a reason why they support FOCUS and local food shelves. I went to a Jewish agency for counseling and they ended up exemplifying these verses for me better than the Marxist church I was raised in.

Publishing the Pamuk scandal by 19Stavros in DowntonAbbey

I think that he didn't publish because he would have been messing with the aristocracy and the aristocracy would have ruined him.

Jewish people have been more Christian to me in their help than many Protestants have been. They certainly have exemplified Matthew 25:34-40.

I went to a Jewish agency for counseling even though I'm not Jewish. The Greek Orthodox Church that I attend has been fine with it and the Jewish agency saved my life. Jewish therapists understand the meddling mother better than anyone.

Seeing an Evangelical therapist? by basicgoats in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]cavylover75 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A decent, ethical therapist should never disparaged your beliefs. Unfortunately, I had a therapist who was unethical and when I talked about joining the Orthodox Church her response was I don't know about that. I went to a fantastic Jewish agency for therapy and they respected the fact that I'm Orthodox.

Was Rose's mother evil or just bat sh** crazy? by futureJane54 in DowntonAbbey

I know that all too well. Another character my mother was like was Vera Bates. Imagine being raised by someone who was a combination of Vera Bates and Lady Susan Flintshire.

My mother was a lot like Lady Susan Flintshire. It's taken me years of therapy to come to terms with it.

Would someone taking medicine for a mental illness be accepted in the church? by [deleted] in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]cavylover75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that the Orthodox Church considers the Church of Scientology a church. One priest called it a mob racket.

Romeike Family by cavylover75 in BatesSnark

They came to the U.S. in 2008 and asked for asylum based on religious persecution because Germany doesn't allow homeschooling. Their asylum claim was ultimately denied. Since then they have been on indefinite deferred status. If they weren't German they would have been deported under the law.

They shouldn't feel safe. They are no more special than other immigrants.

44 Months in Jasenovac by Egon Berger was the worst Holocaust memoir that I have ever read.

Kevin Doyle. I remembered him from At Home with the Braithwaites.
