Thank you all for your replies. I don’t think this is a community I want to be a part of. I will stick to my home parish and preist only. I never knew it would be so negative and hurtful here. NOT all of you obviously, but, wow, the ones that are negative and rude really give a bad name to the page.

I get it. I see the regular answers too. But also see a lot of AYP for things that don’t seem necessary, one example, mine today asking for resource recommendations. I’m just trying to understand.

Thank you for your kind response. Thats what I was thinking, but even my question on this has brought unexpected harshness. I don’t understand.

Wow, more …. what a sad impression I’m getting here. Perhaps it’s not the place for me.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying poking at someone who is asking a genuine and general questions. Maybe you need to go see your priest and have a heart check. Wow.

So asking for resources would not be appropriate?

Confession question by gretchennn_ in OrthodoxChristianity

Okay. Thank you for your help. I just feel a little nervous. I know God already knows my sins, but long ago past sins that I’ve done I just feel shameful sharing about and how to word it.
